Of course remittances from lioinburgh 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 BROTHE.RS. 21e publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this a,:y at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. r 4 46) 'f) ;e alsID ON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1836. The French papers of IN:dnesday, received this morning, contain various interesting accounts of the attempted revolution at Strasburg. They will be found in another part of The Sun. As was anticipated, the affair has created quite a sensation in the capital. Be ing unsuccessful, of course all parties unite in denounc ing it as wicked, ridiculous, and contemptible. Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the hero of this exhibition, will probably be sentenced to perpetual imprisonment ; for we do not suppose that the Government can con template for an instant the idea of putting him to death. The Cabinet, as a matter of course, will do all in its power to turn this to the account of the KING'S popu laiity. Already is the devoted loyalty of the troops the theme of Ministerial commendation. But say what they will, Ministers cannot see with unconcern that the first thing that strikes the mind of every dis affected individual, however exalted or however ob scure, is a desire to dethrone the KING. Every crime is directed against the very existence of the Go vernment. This has not yet been so explained as to satisfy Europe, that the solution proves the increase of Lours PHILIPPE'S popularity. Let it not be supposed, however, that we sympathise with those who seek to effect another revolution in France. Heaven forbid ! France wants repose, and that is not to be obtained by revolutions. But our not wishing well to insurrectionary movements has very little to do with the direful consequences which may. flow from them, unless the KING cm be persuaded to restore the Charter of 1830 to his subj;tets. The spirit of revolution is abroad in France. The despotic policy of the KING has evoked it—we fear eventually iezlr his own destruction and the downfall of the ORLEANS Dynasty. It is unjust towards France to suppose that her people love revolution for its own sake ; or that they would not prefer the present Government to any other that could possibly succeed it, were the KING to redeem his pledges to the nation. Several of the Journals are hurt at the language em ployed by the Queen of SPAIN in her Majesty's Speech to the Cortes, with reference to the Cabinet of France in the fulfilment, or rather the non-fulfilment of the Quadruple Treaty. The QUEEN spoke of France in terms more complimentary than the late conduct of the KING at all warranted. Her MAJESTY merely said, that the Cabinet of France had discon tinued its organization of the Legion at Pau. A grave charge might have been preferred against the King of the FRENCH by her Catholic MAJESTY. The Cortes might have been informed that the officers of the Foreign Legion, when disbanded, received secret instructions, from a source accustomed to comman d in such oases, to bring their men over to join the Carlist ranks, and that suitable rewards would be given them, provided they were careful not to compro mise other names than their own in the transaction. Such officers, it might have been added, were found no inefficient instruments in the hands of their secret advisers. Many of them did go over to Don CAR LOS, followed by their men, in companies of from fifty to a hundred a day, without interruption on the part of the French authorities I Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 28th ult. Dave been received. A summary of the intelligence contained in them will be found in another column, under the head " Spain." It appears from them, that although MExprzAßA r. had received a private letter, which he read in the Cortes. on the 26th, stating that ALAN had defeated GOMEZ, and coini. -: .letelY Touted his bands, yet doubts of the fact pre vailed in Madrid on the following day. These „d ou bt s were partially confirmed by the arrival of despatches announcing that on the 22d GOMEZ laid s iege to Almaden, which was gallantly defended by Cofwel FLINTER. The Gazette of the 27th con tains a long despatch from RoDIL, dated_ ,, Head- Argamasilla, October 22," detailing his va- Ptlarm, C l 4.rnests to entrap GOMEZ, and concluding ._,, 0 T:4311 . s. i;i:ii;!, of . , 4 0, j ._:"-vrith a.dtoiszation of his intention marching upon -s.x--:;.- - Almaden :.f . ..itopit, does not say a word of the siege *44X' .- "of that bn. .13 the Carr ists. He appeared to be very I nperfectly acquainted with the movements of the enemy. We have great pleasure in stating, that the three first sittings of the Cortes augured well for the influ ence of the Cabinet. Some petitions•were presented, charging Ministers with violations of the Constitution, but though these petitions were supported by Senors CALATRAVA and LOPEZ—two of the accused —the Chamber refused to waste its time in deliberating upon them. The Chamber has also approved of a ldeclaration , drawn up and signed by twenty-six of its Members, for confiding the sole Regency of the kingdom to the QUEEN alone, during the minority of her august daughter. The greatest harmony prevailed in the appointment of the Committees fixed by the Constitution. That for the improvement of the Constitution itself will not be appointed till the whole of the Deputies have reached the capital. On the 27th M. M ENDIZ ABAL read his h.naneial. statement. He affirmed that the declaration MessrS. ARDOUIN, of Paris, to the effect that cer tain dividends were to be made payable by bond 3 drawn on Cuba was made without his authority. He had no thought of putting off the holders of Spanish Stock with other bonds than those drawn on the Treasury at home. The QUEEN was in good health, and the inhabitants of Madrid were perfectly tranquil. The Cortes are preparing to prosecute the war with vigour. The German Papers received this morning state, that on the 17th ult. the Archduke FERDINAND of ESTE opened the Diet of Galicia. The Estates were to continue to sit during the EreIPEROR'S pleasure. The ex-King CHARLES X. is in good health. FEs ramblings cause considerable annoyance to the Austrian Government. He cannot remain content anywhere. Advices from Cracow to the 21st speak of thc removal of the Austrian troops as all but hopeless. Russia, Austria, and Prussia have determined upon crushing the liberties ceded to the Republic in 1815. The Journals before us, as a matter of course, in sinuAte that such a step is necessary to preserve the tranquaity of Northern Europe ! Letters 1 rcal St. Petersburgh, received in Berlin, state that ithe E m paor of RITSSIA is seriously indis posed. The seat of hi:3 MAJESTY'S present com plaint is the stomach. The Austrian Government has received a..ounts of dangerous political societies which are now establish. 1.;:b" themselves in Italy.

Id N, The Speech of the King of SWEDEN an_ OR WAY, on opening the Extraordinary Storthing or Diet on the 20th of October, will be found in another column. It represents the state of the country as all that could be desired by its inhabitants. The Ex chequer is full, though the taxes have been diminished one-half since 1828. We have received Montreal papers to the 7th ult inclusive. As we prognosticated, no reconciliation took place between the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly. His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor was therefore compelled to have again re course to a premature dissolution. What these disputes will at last end in, is easily foreseen ; but we are rzot of opinion that the present is the most fitting time for dwelling upon consequences. We lament the inratuation which has led to evils of which we shall sa y n o more than that they appear to us still s usceptible of remedy. In the meanwhile, it will be necessary to pro vide for the maintenance of the Canadian public func tionaries—a measure which will only serve further to exasperate the Papineau party, both in the Colonies and the Northern country. The following is his E:(- cellency's speech : " This day at three o'clock his Excellency, the Governor in-Chief went to the Legislative Council Chamber, and being seated on the Throne, was pleased to 'close the session with the following speech : "' Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentleman of the House of Assembly,— " ' There being no longer any prospect of a good result from the Message, which, by the commands of our most Gracious Sovereign, I communicated a few days ago to the House of Assembly, I hasten to put an end to this Session; and to enable you to return to your homes. " ' The object of convoking the present Parliament was to make a renewed effort on the part of Majesty to restore some interval of repose to his Canadian people. I lament, how zwer, that instead of awaiting the developement of those mea surr-.5 which are in preparation, but which, to be effectual, must b. matured with time and attention, a more hasty deci sion continues to be insisted upon; and the province is even threatened with the abandonment, by one branch of the Legis lature, of the duties confines to it by the Constitution. Without dwelling on this inauspicious Twoject, I will merely observe, that if it be persisted in, the nutatber of temporary acts in Lower Canada, and the importance of some which are not long hence to expire, must give peculiar etTeet in this province to a decision which in no country endowed with powers of do mestic Legislation could be otherwise than a severe privation and source of public suffering. " Gentlemen,—l take leave of you. I will only express the hope I am unwilling to forego, that however the political embarrassments of the country may appear to multiply around us, the inherent elements of prosperity and contentment which it contains, may triumph over all adventitious causes of difficulty. " Castle of St. Lewis, Oct. 4." We beg the attention of our readers to a letter in another column from ;IT. CHILDS, of Bungay, to the members of the Established Church in that parish. It appears the Church authorities ac, about to re-com mence the proceedings which obtained for t.':Nn last year so unenviable a notoriety. Mr. CHILDS Wag then immured in a dungeon because he would not consent to violate the couscientious convictions of his mind, and he is prepared to pass through the same ordeal again, if hi s oppressors shall carry their persecution to that extent. In the address to which we have alluded, Mr. CHILDS appeals with calmness, and in a truly 'Christian spirit, to his fellow-parishioners to interpose and prevent the evil consequences which must result from perseverance on the part of the Churchwardens in their attemp s to enforce a law so unjust in itself, and so odious to the greater part of the community. This appeal, we think, will be made in vain ; and, indeed, we almost wish it may be so. We can imagine nothing more calculated to hasten the extinction of Church rates, and similar abominations, than the imprisonment of all who refuse to submit to such hateful exactions. Let the Dissenters and those numerous members of i:ze Church who unite with them in condernuiug' eccle siastica: vztor tion, adopt the plan of p ass ive resigance, and we shall soot; hear no more of Ch urc h- rates. S uc h a storm would be raised against Mqther Church that the•old crone would be glad to esca p e fro m it in double quick time—much faster indeed than her tottering limbs would be able to carry her. Agitation is now the only mode by which any public grievance can be expected to be got rid off. It is barely possible that the Lords, from sheer stupidity—from ab solute doltishness—may pass Bills of which they cannot comprehend the drift, such as the Registration Bill and THE SUTIV, LANLiON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1536. the Marriage Bill, w hich havc, in fact, severed the main link which united the ,Church to the State ; but a chance like this is not to be looked to or depended upon. Such a chance is lit,w more unlikely to occur than ever, because the Lords will be more upon their guard—more cautious in scrutinising And sifting the measures brought before them, just as rats and other vermin that have once been caught in a trap, if they escape with their lives, are seldom or never caught a second time. The Dissenters and the Liberal Church men must therefore agitate against Church-rates if they really wish to be relieved from that obnoxious and wicked impost. The splendid meting which was lately held in the metropolis, had for its ob ject to stir up a general agitation on ths sub ject. It was exceedingly well adapted to. produce this effect, and has, we have reason to believe, done so, to a very great extent. Such proceedings as those now in preparation by the b i g ots of Bun g a y will come i ;pwerfully in aid of so just and good a cause. They ought no: to be de p recated, but, oil the contrary, prayed for, as the proper and natural means, when turned to account, of obtaining the redress of a gri vance which presses so gfwerely upon a largp ina;Ps of the people. Individuals, like Mr. CHILDS, may no doubt suffer in their persons and in their property ; but they suffer with joy when they reflect that they are the instruments under Providence of advancing the cause of truth and virtue. CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.) THOMPSON V. MAISTRE.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn ing, gave judgment in this case, the question in which wag, whether certain legacies given by the will of Col. Maistre and which, in the event of a deficienay of the personal estate, were charged upon the real estate, were or were not revoked by the third codicil to the Colonel's will. It appeared that Colonel Maistre, by his will, gave his personal acid real estates to his brothers and other parties in trust to pay certain sums to his wife, and different legacies to his children, excepting certain lands from the charge of those legacies. By a codicil, however, to his will, he included the lands excepted, changed the trustees, and appointed his son as his sole executor upon his attaining twenty-one. It was contended that the codicil had so materially altered the whole disposition of the will, that it must be considered that the legacy had been revoked by it. His Lordship's opinion was, that the codicil had not operated as a revocation, and decreed that the legacies were chargeable upon the real estate. STONE V. LORD GEORGE LENNOX. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the present Master of the Rolls, declaring that the plaintiffs were en titled to a discovery and inspection of certain letters and documents in possession of the defendant, Lord George Lennox. The hill was filed against the Noble Lord by the persons who were the insurers of the life of Colonel Groswold, who died at Boulogne after the policy had been effected for the ntirposP of obtaining an injunction to pre vent defendant from proceeding in an action at law to re cover the amount of the policy, and also for a discovery of certain letters and documents in the possession of the de fendant, which it was asserted by the plaintiff would show that there were circumstances connected with the state of health of the person whose life was ensured, that would invalidate the policy. The defendant by his answer admitted Matt documents.. nbieetod to pro= duce thorn on the ground. that they w 0414 414e1.05e the names of witnesses whom he meant to bring forward on the trial, and also circumstances which would tend materially to the success of the action. On the case coming before the Master of the Rolls, his Lordship thought that the answer of the defendant contained a Stiftleletit admission that the documents in the possession of the defendant related to the matter in issue, and did not contain any statements suffi cient to entitle the defendant to object to produce them. His Lordship, therefore, ordered the discovery as prayed. The Lord Chancellor concurred with the opinion of . the Master of the Rolls, and affirmed his judgment, with costs. The COURT then proceeded with the appeal of Watson v. Murray. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STEED V. CALLET.—JUDGMENT. Lord LANGDALE, in giving judgment in this case, stated, the plaintiff, Elizabeth Steed, in her character of residuary legatee under the will of Richard Smith, deceased, filed bar bill against Charles Calley, executor of the same will, and Mr. Richard Van Heythusen, who, at the date of the will, was a bond creditor of the testator ; and the bill prayed that it might be declared the testator was prevailed upon by the fraud, and under the influence of Calley, to accept from Van Heythusen certain lands, in lieu of the bond debt, that Calley might account for the rents, and that all necessary directions might be given for placing the parties in the same situation in which they would have stood if the transaction had not taken place, orthat it might be declared the land ought to stand in place of the bond, and be subject to the bequests of the plaintiff. The case in its outline was this. Mr. Richard Smith, the testator, had been for many years clerk to the late Lord Ellenborough, under whose patronage he had obtained several lucrative offices in the Courts of Law, from which he had derived a considerable income, and became possessor of some indepen dent property. He had also been Governor of the Found ling Hospital. On the 29th of March, 1831, the testator being entitled to a bond debt of 4,0001., payable to him at a future day by the defendant, Van Heythusen, made his will, and thereby among other bequests gave all monies which shall be due to him on bond at the time of his death to the plaintiff, and gave all the residue of his property to the de fendants. He appointed Van Heythusen and Calley joint-exe cutors of his will, but soon afterwards revoked the appointment of Van Heythusen. On the 22d July he gave up Van Heythusen's bond to be cancelled and inconsideration thereof Van Heythusen executed a conveyance, whereby certain lands were conveyed in substance to the use of the testator for his life, with re mainder to the defendant Calley in fee. The testator died by his own hand on the 24th of July. Calley claimed the benefit of the conveyance, but the plaintiff, who was the testator's niece, insisted that having regard to the state of Mr. Smith's mind and the confidential relation between him and Calley, the transaction ought to be considered as fraudulent and void. The bill alleged that the testator, from the period of his wife's death, in October 1829, became extremely low-spirited and nervous, which gradually increased, and that shortly after the date of his will be was at times violently affected with pains in his head, and was liable to fits of temporary derangement, and that in this state of things Calley, who knew the contents of the will, formed a scheme to avail himself of his influence on the testator, and prevailed on him to call in payment of Van Heythusen's bond, and to obtain from him in lieu of the bond the estate in question in the cause. Calley by his answer stated that the testator for several years before the death of his wife, from his constant and assiduous attention to his various duties, appeared to be nervous up to the time of her death ; and that after her death, at which he was much affected, he was low spirited up to the day of his own death, but denied that the testator became in any manner deranged in his intellects, or was liable to fits of mental de rangement, or had any other bodily infirmity than men were accustomed to have at the testator's period of life. He also denied that he knew the contents of the will and codicil, and that the testator had executed such, and insisted that the trans action as to Van Heythusen's bond and conveyance, was dic tated by the testator himself, and was in entire conformity with his intentions, he being at the time of sound mind, and perfectly understanding what he was about. His Lordship then, in a very elaborate manner, went through the evidence, from which it appeared, that in July, 1830, an Act of Parlia ment passed for regulating the appropriation of foes and emo luments receivable by officers of the superior courts of com mon law, and under that Act Commissioners were appointed to inquire into the arrymnt and legality of the fees claimed by the officers, which preyed considerably on the mind of the testator. On the morning of the 24th of July, 1831, the testator committed suicide, and the Coroner's Jury found that L A bad shot himself, being at the time in a state of mental derangement. That he was then insane was not disputed, but it was contended that the derangement was a sudden inflic tion, and that until then he was never subject to any mental disorder. His Lordship had read the whole of the evidence carefully, and it appeared to him that in the transaction of ordinary business Mr. Smith, in many in stances, appeared to be, and conducted himself as a man of sound mind would be expected to do ; but apparent sanity on some or many occasions was no proof that the mind might not be insane. The ordinary habits of society, or the exertion required for the transaction of business, might rouse the mind, and prevent it from brooding on melancholy thoughts, and an insane man might conduct himself rationally in society, or transact business, so long as nothing occurred to call up those notions which indicated insanity. Generally speaking, the law presumed sanity, and if it was not impeached, no evidence was required to support it. Upon a consideration of all the facts proved, the inference justly deducible from them, in his Lordship's opinion, was, that notwithstanding many acts of sanity, the mind of the testator, up to the day of his death, was known by Caney to be seriously disordered ; and his opinion also was, that the state of his mind was un sound. If the result of the case, as affecting Mr. Calley, de pended on the question, whether Mr. Smith was or was not of unsound mind at the time the transaction took place, he should have directed an issue to try the fact, but the state of Mr. Smith's mind was to be considered in relation to his con fidence in Calley, and a sufficient ease was made out to ren der it incumbent on his Lordship to declare the transaction of purchasing the estate, so far as related to the beneficial inte rest in Caney ought to be laid aside. It was not necessary to conclude that Calley meditated a direct fraud against the plaintiff, and it did not appear to his Lordship that any impu tation rested on Mr. Van Heythusen, who was wholly igno rant of the state of Mr. Smith's mind. The decree his Lord ship should make would be to declare the defendant Cally to have held the estate from the time of the death of the testator as trustee—that he should account for the rents and profits of the estate, and to convey the same to the plaintiff, as she should appoint—all four parties to join in the conveyance. The COURT then proceeded to hear exceptions. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY is Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole rnorni f,no wi'h cause petitions, none of which possessed any point of interest up to cur re4rter leaving. r _ ADMIRALTY COURT:-(THIS DAY Dr. Robertson was admitted to practise in this Court. SALVAGE.—THE SUSSEX. This was an important salvage cause. The bark Sussex, whilst on a voyage from Odessa and Constantinople to London with a valuable cargo, was on the 28th March last in a most perilous state, her deck having been cleared, her mast and rigging gone, having suffered dreadful weather, she fell in with the Arid, bound on a whaling voyage, also in a bad state, having suffered from the same gales. At the risk of life the .Ariel manned the only boat she had left with the car penter and others, and after great difficulty the Sussex was safely towed to the Motherbank. The conduct of the car penter was beyond all praise, having jumped on board the Sussex at the risk of his life, and on his return to the boat being carried overboard by a heavy sea, but was saved. Tha admitted value of the ship and cargo saved was 12,0001. The KING'S ADVOCATE appeared for the Salvers, and sub mitted that the case possessed all the ingredients of a salvage , L. Muliest order, and, he should leave it to the Court case 0...._ to give a handsome reward. Dr. Adams, for the owners, admitted that valuable services had been rendered, but should contend that the interests of the owners had been injured by the conduct of tho salvers. The Court proceeded to bear the evidence, which will pc cupy the remainder of the day. KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DA. Y. ). ORLEIGII V. DUNBAR.

The ordinary Monthly Meeting of the Zoological Society for general business was held yesterday afternoon, John Hamilton, Esq., V.P., in the Chair. Mr. Yarrell read the report of the Council, from which it appeared that the total receipts duriii;thc p ast month were 6371., and the .nditure 1 307/ including Menagerie ; Eqt a -208/, tO tit# .Nuseum ; and 258 /. to the Gene'" blishment. The suit; o f OW, had also been invested in the Three per Cent. Consols. The presents announced to the Museum were 24 reptiles and four bats from the Commis sioners of Affairs of India ; several crustacea and radicata, and a torpedo, from Mr. Harvey, &c. The number of visiters to the gardens during the past month was 8,751, from whom the sum of 2861. 6s, was received, There is now living at Tibshelf, Derbyshire, a wo man of the name of Elizabeth Low, of the age of 99, who can make a shirt without the aid of glasses, and declares she can see as well as a person of twenty years of age, cause why the verdict for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. It was an action upon a policy of insurance tried before Lord Denman at the sittings after last term. The insurance was effected on the 26th December, 1834, with the Netherland Insu rance Company, upon a Dutch steam-vessel, the Pybrdes, of and from Rotterdam to Batavia, and the declaration averred that she was lost by the perils of the sea. The defendants had pleaded, first, that the vessel was not sea worthy, and secondly that at the time of making the insu rance, the plaintiff falsely represented that the vessel was quite new, and that the policy was made on the faith of such representation, whereas the said vessel was not new. He (the Attorney-General) would show by the evidence for the plaintiffs,' as well as for the defendant, that that representation was untrue. It appeared that there were policies effected in this country upon the Pyladcs to the amount of 27,0001., and there were not less than sixty-five actions brought against the underwriters and Insurance Companies who had taken the risk. A consolidation rule was obtained, by which it was arranged that only one case should be tried, and if the verdict was satisfactory to the Learned Judge, all the others should abide by it. From the evidence at the trial, which lasted four days, it ap peared that the Pylades sailed from Rotterdam on the 29th December, and came upon the soft mud of the river Maaze as she went down the river, but was got off without damage, and at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 2d January, she passed the headland. At half-past four it was dis covered that there was water in the hold, the weather having been all through very fine with a little swell, and the water gained upon her so rapidly, that between six and seven o'clock the fires were extinguished —at eleven the ship was abandoned by the crew, and immediately went to the bottom. No cause was proved, nor none suggested for the loss, except that the injection pipe might have been bro ken, but this was negatived by the witnesses: The poliey in the present case has been effected by the plaintiff, a re putable insurance-broker of London, on the application of Hobbicar and Co. of Rotterdam, who acted as the agents of the Netherlands Steam Packet Company. A gond 401 of correspondence had taken place between the partite, and the fallowing extract from a letter to the plaintiff would skew the statement, upon the faith of which the insurance had been effected :—" The Pylades is a three-masted ves sel, schooner rigged, &c,,, steam-engines, boiler, &c. of the best quality:' after which followed these important words, is she is quite new, having run off the stocks last winter, and subsequently finished under gayer. She is built of good dry oak and Atrielatt wood.' Now, from the evidence at the time it appeared that the history of the vessel was as, follows the year 1826 the Picuk,k, and another steamer, the Orestes, were built by the Netherlands Steam Company, for the Data Government, and were intended to cruise againat the pirates in the West Indies. But the fallowing year the Government discovered that they were unfit to be sent to sea, and put them up to auction, and in the year 1829 they were re-purchased by the Netherlands Steam Company, by whom they were brought into dock, where they lay till 1832. The Orestes was then found to be completely infected with the dry rot, and was broken up. The .Pylades was also infected, but was not so bad, and she underwent a thorough repair, all the unsound timbers having been taken out ; but the assertion of her being a new vessel was completely and entirely negatived. Lord DENMAN—There was a strong impression of her sea worthiness from her sudden loss, and there was a strong ground for presuming that the vessel was not new, ftom the history you have stated. Was there any thing objectionable in the direction given to the Jury ? Because, if so, it may be necessary to go into some further details, The ATTORNEY-GENEKAL-..There is no objection taken to , he charge or direction of' the Judge. COURT— You may take a rule. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLIIDALRhe;rd motions in this Court this morning. Sir Wat. FOLLETT applied to the Court for a writ of certio rari, to remove an indictment for perjury into this Court. The defendant was an attorney, and, as the Court were aware, would be liable to transportation if he should practice as an attorney after conviction. The case was therefore to him one of the greatest importance. The facts were briefly these : About four years ago there was a dispute between two pa rishes, which led to an appeal to the Sessions, which the Jus , tices refused to hear. A mandamus was granted by the Court of King's Bench, commanding them to hear the appeal, and certain costs were incurred in opposing that rule, to re cover which an action had recently been brought, and on a mo tion to change the venue, certain affidavits were filed, and it was on one of those affidavits made by tho defendant that the alleged perjury was assigned. The dispute betwr . 4en the parties had been going on for nearly four years, ar under the circumstances, he trusted his Lordship would ':nink it was a case that ought to be tried in that Court. Mr. Justice LITTLF,DALE—You may tp.', o your writ, and let the defendant find bail, himself in one hundred pounds, and two sureties in fifty pounds cull,. The tame of the defendant did not transpire. CURIOUS CASE.- --V. SLINGO. Mr. PYLE moved to stay proceedings in this case. It was an action brought to recover 9l• 15s. ; and on the trial defen dant produced a receipt far 9/. 18s., signed by the plaintiff, who was consequently non-suited. The affidavit on which he moved stated, that although the receipt produced was signed by the plaintiff, yet it was given for a sum due to him by de fendant's father, although it stated, however, the money to be paid by William Slingo only, without stating whether father or son. An indictment for perjury had since been preferred. and his application was to stay proceedings pending that in. dictmcnt. Mr. Justice LITTLECALE— YOU may take a Rule. THE KING V. THE CORPORATION OF CAMBRIDGE. This was an indictment against the defendants for not re pairing a bridge. Mr. AUSTRN moved that judgment be respited until next term on affidavits stating that the defendants intended rebuild. trig the bridge, but had not been able to do so, the contractors having failed in obtaining the supply of iron necessary for that purpose,---Rule granted. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) SITTINGS IN BANCO. BARDEN V. THE BARONESS DE REFFENBOURO. Mr. PLATT moved to set aside a verdict for 751., obtained for the plaintiff in this case, and for a new trial, at the late Assizes for Sussex, before Mr. Justice Gaselee. The Learned Gentleman moved on the grounds of misdirection, and the verdict being against evidence, The plaintiff in his plea. said that the defendant contracted the debt, and promised to pay, in the character of a femme sole. The defendant denied that she had done so, and that she was the wile of Baron Keffenbourg, a Counsellor of State in the Netherlands. Mr. PLATT said the whole evidence produced by the plain tiff showed that their case was very weak, and the counsel for the plaintiff, in order to enlist the sympathy of the Jury by telling them that the Baroness bad defrauded a great many of the tradesmen of Worthing —in fact he introduced her as a regular and systematic swindler. A Magistrate and a Colonel in the army were called by the plaintiff, who proved that they had met the defendant abroad in the best society, where she passed as a married woman. They then called the lodging-house keeper with whom the defendant resided at Little Hampton, but in case of making out their case, she said the Baroness told her she was a mar ried woman, and that her husband was alive, and re mitted money to her from abroad. It was also proved that the defendant, so far from attempting to pass herself for a married woman, she went to the plaintiff's shop to purchase linen drapery, with a very young child in her arms, and without being in widow's weeds. In fact there was not one tittle of evidence in the cause which went to make out the plaintiff's plea, yet the jury found a verdict for him. The plaintiffs called several tradesmen from Worthing, in order to prove that the defendant had bought goods from item, and had not paid them. Not one of them even suggested that she had represented herself as a single woman. Ho (Mr. P.) objected to that evidence being received, but the Learned Judge over ruled the objection, of which he now complained. It was e v id en t from some remarks which fell from the Jury, that they were determined that, under all circumstances, their friends at Worthing should have redress. After laying their heads to gether they said, " We are not satiated that the defendant is a married woman." Mr. Baron PARKI—Did •not the Learned Judge tell them that that was not a matter in dispute. Mr. PLATT—The Learned Judge did make some remarks upon the matter, but your Lordship does not know of what materials a Sussex. Jury is composed, or you would know it was likely to be of little use, They again laid their heads together, and shook them—repeated their former re mark, and found a verdict for the plaintiff. The COURT granted a rule Nisi. Lord ABlNfigit said he could not agree in the remark which bad faller. from Mr. Platt. Very excellent Juries were had in Sussex. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) RYAN V. STACKPOOLE. Mr. F. KELLY said that this case had been tried last Term, and a verdict found for the plaintiff with 1,500/, damages, and he now moved for a rule to show cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The action had been brought to recover compensation for services performed by the plaintiff for the benefit of the defendant ; and the cir cumstances out of which the claim arose were in substance these :—A great number of years ago a gentleman of the name of Stackpoole, who had been ennobled in France by the title of Count Stackpoole, was supposed to be possessed of a fund amountinr , to not less than between 300,000/. and 400,0001., to which various individuals of his family laid claim, and among oilers Mr. William Stackpoole, the present defendant. The defendant considered that lie was entitled in . his own right to a portion of the sums of Count iltr,i'lpoule bad obtained possePAPP, r d)Ho also claimed another portion as adminitilkips, rucl in other repre sentative ehitraPtell: in P:kt the present plaintiff obtained an introduptiqn to tho defendant, to whom he was regow. mended es an active and intelligent person, who INAe I 4, be of use in any agency business. In the middle Qf tle. year 1810 an agreement was made between OAP plaintiff and defendant, under which the plaintiff was to proceed to raris t An j d o ;g4 h e performed, or 4ttompted to pOrfo;Th the orvicos out of which the present claims aroie t aught to state that the agreement that took place between the parties was proved •• de entirely by the deposition upon interrogatories. 01 th e i n e a n in d e a n t o f himself, ilou of !nerd d t e e x h c , e t o h r evidence e of acquaintance onr witness s . of T o parties, and that the plaintiff was a broken down chant, and afterwards an accountant, and that he was a m att of intelligence ; but he proved nothing as to the facts that had taken place, and therefore to the deposition alone of the _c de fendant the Court would have to look for the term; and eff.e of the contract. It was in substance this, that Ryan, who hado. been represented as an active and intelligent person, should proceed to Paris within one mend), he being told that r. did not go within a month, hi s g o i ng would be totally uscles-, and that he should then take such measures as he should deem expedient, with a view of recovering the large sum of money to which the defendant had claim ; and if he succeeded i n re covering this money, he was t o re ce iv e as a remuneration the sum of 10,000/. There was no stipulation as to any remune ration whatever in the event of Ryan failing to recover tho money, except that to which he would call atte; - ,tion. la answer to a question put to the defendant as to whether, sup posing a failure to take place through the defendant preventing; the plaintiff from proceeding, whether the plaintiff should not be entitled to his expenses out of pocket, and to a reason able remuneration for his trouble, to be settled by two disin terested individuals. In answer to this question, the de fendant admitted that such was the understanding between them. The plaintiff did not proceed to Paris within the month, but hedid not mention this circumstance as constituting' a defence to the action, but merely as one of the facts of 0.10 case. No reason was given for this delay, but though the arrangement took place in August, the plaintiff did not proceed to Paris till Dece m b er . Th e p l a i nt iff h av i n g arrived at Paris called upon the British Ambassador, to whom he bad procured a letter from the Foreign-office in London, aiia having seen the Ambassador he laid his case before him- It was supposed that Count Stackpoole enjoyed the protect ion of the French Gove rnmen t, an d certainly the Ambassador (Lord Stuart de flothsay) took upon himself to say thP.t in !hat . country, such was the s t a t e o f t h e a d m i n i s trati.on tlr.t he was not prepared to deny that the influ,ince of the Government might operate in the decision of a laintiff concerning a large property of this description. Th e upon this solicited the Ambassador to use his infl u ence %vitt!, Ilaron Pasquier, in favour of the def en d an t. Th e pl a intiff had several interviews with the Ambassador, and thew interviews and conversations, which lasted from December to June, were al l the service that the plaintiff ever did for the defendant, except that he introduced;him to an attorney of the name of Le Gros. Six months after the plai n tiff arr i ve d at P ar i s h e was put in prison for a considerable amount, and he remained in prison till after the defendant had, by 'other means, succeeded in !too"' vering some part of the money to which he was entitled. The Learned Counsel then stated the course which the de fendant had adopted to recover his property, in which he was principally indebted for his success to the advice and assist ance of Monsieur Dupin, the President of the Chamber of Deputies. The plaintiff h a d no t b een o f t h e s li g h tes t assist ance to the defendant, but when the defendant, through otber means, had recovered about 40,0001., the plaintiff brought an action against him to recover on the agreement before Men tioned, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, giving 1,400/. damages. He submitted that under the eircurustanee s of the case, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover anythi n g: and that even if he were entitl e d t o any thing, thr, se damag e ' were enormously disproportionate and excessive,..,LA rule wa s granted, COURT OF REVIEW.-( r A'HIS DAY•) IN TAR MATTER OF GEORGE I ):VATT, A BANKRUPT. Mr. KEAN, on behalf of the 1 4ankrupt, moved that a er ,/ ditor named Frederick Walsh. prosecute an enquiry ordered by the Commissioners on be the petition mentioned show" 20th of June last, and case of default, that he might:: restrained from furtbra pr ocee di ng aga i nst t h e bankrupt. itt" Walsh, in this cPse, was called upon to make proof of his de under the of bankruptcy, and related to a bill of exchange' The metier was ordered to be referred to the Commissioner, and since then no step whatever was taken by Mr. Walsh.
