The Morning Post—whcm no one can please, not even " Young England," inasmuch as we have more than once detected our cross-grained Contemporary indirectly sneering at that promising specimen of juvenility—the Post, we say, of this morning takes a v,--rir,r in Fraser s Magazine to task for having pre /4 Falscp.toi xpea favourably of the cotton-lords of Leeds, and recommended the land -4./1/4C-I'="7*l? their example, as regards the pea r e :; 4 -7 12% izt ( utitia l e tales. We noticed the article eon l •k,:-:177:Yr,--:-,.-,-.:-,4- ( ck - e.•:- -1- . '.Z-",,, i 1; - ; --/, - c"*- - N a plained of, in The Sun of yesterday, but must confess that we found nothing in it to justify our Contem porary's disapprobation. True, it spoke impartially and even kindly of the conduct pursued by the manu facturers towards the workmen in their employ, and so far sacrificed prejudice to a sense of jus tice ; but it did not breathe a syllable in disparagement of the landowners; indeed it studiously refrained from all censure of the in difference which they have too long manifested to wards the labouring classes, and contented itself with simply recommending them "to bestir themselves," and to bear in mind the salutary maxim, that if pro perty has its rights it has also its duties. But even this was too muck for the one-sided, uncompromising Post, whose prejudices stick to it like so many burs, and, accordingly, it thus vents its spleen against the unoffending scribe in Fraser :—" These professors of Conservatism cannot get rid of a disposition that haunts them to overlook any merits which their friends may have, and to be ever hunting out the ex cellences of their opponents. They can find that in free-traders which they cannot find elsewhere." The real meaning of this paltry cavil is very evident. The inveterate spirit of ultra-Toryism peeps out at every word. Our Contemporary insists that no true Tory or Conservative has a right to do justice to those who are opposed to him in politics, even though their views on some particular question may be undeniably sound. He is bound to sacrifice his convictions to his party, and though at heart he may be rationally disposed towards free-trade, yet his influence, whether within or without the walls of Parliament, must be thrown into the scale of mono poly. lie must not "find that in free-traders which he cannot find elsewhere," but must make a point of insisting that all which his friends do is right, and all which his enemies do is wrong. This we con ceive to be the true meaning of the passage we have just quoted; and if so, it is scarcely worthy of our Contemporary—scarcely in keeping with the notions he is constantly promulgating. He professes to be actuated by the most enlarged and enlightened views —to soar far above the paltry considerations of party —and to regard nothing but the welfare of the people in general, and the beat means of securing that welfare. It is only because he is averse to political partizanship that he leans to the side of " Young England," because he imagines that he can perceive in this zealous band of Reformers a manly spirit of independence calculated to be of the utmost benefit to that somewhat vague and eccentric cause—for we honestly confess that we have never been able to understand the Post's politics—which he professes to have so much at heart. But now we find the cloven hoof of ultra-Toryism peeping out, and our bigoted Contemporary quarrelling—in the true spirit of Lord ELDON-with a brother Tory, merely be cause he finds that the opponents of monopoly—to wit, the manufacturers—are not quite so bad as they have been represented, but have certain redeeming points in their character worthy of the imitation of the landowners. The old adage assures us—and we have considerable faith in the assertion—that the Devil is not so black as he is painted, but on the Post's principle, he must not only be quite as black, but infinitely blacker ; and it is the bounden duty of all good Protestants to cherish this conviction as one of the fundamental articles of their creed. We have no patience with our Contemporary's systematic and continuous illiberality towards the manufacturers. He is exceedingly fond of expressing lofty sentiments in still loftier language, yet in the passage on which we have been commenting, we find him actuated by the basest and pettiest prejudices, and so wholly car ried away by his party animosities as actually to fall foul of a brother Tory, merely because he will not go the whole hog with him in point of bigotry, but has liberality of sentiment enough to acknowledge that the manufacturers have several redeeming traits in their character. We are glad to perceive that the subject of land allotments to the poor is occupying, at length, a con siderable share of public attention. There are few objects of our social economy or domestic policy of a more vital character. So obvious a principle of natural equity, irrespective of this important con sideration, appears to us to recommend the system of making these grants, that we shall address ourselves to the consideration of the matter in respect of its own merits, and without regard to the political bias or relations of its advocates or its opponents. It seems the more necessary to premise this determina tion, because the question has already been discussed, we regret to observe, with manifest reference to per sonal considerations which ought never to be allowed to interpose themselves in dealing with a topie of such large and momentous interest. A correspondent of the Morning Chronicle de scribes the controversy on this question as being chiefly sustained between the economists, " with the Earl of RADNOR at their head ;" the manufacturers and landowners, who are fearful of these allotments interfering with the work which ought to be done for them by those in whose favour these allotments will be made ; and a third party, who would that every man should have his little plot of ground to cultivate. The writer in question says "Lord RADNOR boldly declares, and so do the pure econo mists, against gardens for the poor." We wish that the same writer would as "boldly" have declared against the " pure economists" and Lord RADNOR. Instead of doing so, he insists that " the true princi ple of allotment gardens" should be this—that " the allotment is neither to be a farm nor a potato patch." Why not, we beg to ask, if it suit the purposes of the poor holder to make it the one or the other ? Because—" it is not to interfere with the dogma of the economist, nor to create an Ireland." Might he not just as well have told us that it was NOT to control Sir PETER LAURIE'S exuberant equitation the other day at Temple-bar, on meeting the royal procession, nor to challenge the propriety and good taste of setting up "Mr. JoNEs's" coat of arms (!) in the same sumptuous edifice which is to enshrine the heraldic blazonry of such houses as the GRESHAMS, the TUDORS, the STUARTS, and the GUELPHS ? Who, in GoD's name, cares one straw whether the " dogma of an economist" be disturbed or not, when the mighty question is, how to tranquillise a noble peasantry ? Who cares to inquire into the proba bilities of so figurative a result as the " creating an Ireland" in England, when the simple practical pro position is to allot to each family of the English la bouring poor a few roods to two or three acres of waste land, whereon to raise some portion of their subsistence ? But the allotment system, it further appears, "is - not even to snake market gardeners." Why not, again we ask, if the process of cultivating these patches creates in the poor cultivator a strong de sire to embark in that most useful and not uninterest ingcalling ? " Mercianus" (from whom we have been quoting) tells us, himself, that the scheme is " to allow of the converting of waste time and little pro ductive land to a profit, Now lost to the nation and individuals. The waste time of a man and his family (not being hired labour) will make the land more productive, pay the same, OR MORE RENT, should it be basely exacted)," and afford the cultivator cereal crops and culinary vegetables. " The profits above the farming rent and outgoings will be, even to the unskilful, 5/. or 61. on the quarter of an acre, or about one-sixth of a labourer's or hand-loom weaver's wages." Then why, we ask; cripple and clog your allotments with any drawbacks, or restrict their grant to the narrow limitations suggested, when the whole 1,500,000 agricultural labourers of England (for it is of England, including Wales only, that we have to speak) may be thus largely benefited, and the gene ral stock of horticultural production be thus in creased ? If it be true " that even the operatives of manufacturing towns are by little and little gaining land"—" at Nottingham, in particular, owing to the discernment and good feeling of a gentleman who is the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S agent"—why should not so beneficent a system be much more universally adopted ? We are shocked to find the reasons thus stated, and thus justified by our Contemporary's correspondent. He writes of these reasons thus : " I have heard some of them" (i.e., the economists and Lord RADNOR) say, "Let the hired labourer — labour; the hand-loom weaver—weave; and where there is no work for them, go to where there is some." We shall only observe, that sentiments so disgustingly sordid as these are only adapted for the meridian of Brahminical institutions, where the base, servile, and degrading doctrine of hereditary serfdom, and impassable caste is still impressed, as it has been for three or four thousand years past, on the most passiveßutthe and insolent ab abject t bondsme n of any of the Hindoo races. set of men, in this happier country, insisting on the devoted children of poverty continuing to work at those occupations in which they have already sunk into the depths of physical and moral destitution, so long as there re mains any work to be had in their own districts, and then remitting them, unaided, to seek it—to go in quest of more misery, and to realise anew a like consummation of wretchedness ;—this is, indeed, a reach of tyrannous selfishness and obduracy to which even the social despotism of Oriental policy and governments is as yet a stranger. 'We believe the anticipated return of 51. or 61. on a quarter of an acre to be, in itself, a most exaggerated speculation; but it is ominous, in conjunction with ' " Lord RADNOR and the economists," when we have so lately heard, with unaffected regret, of a nobleman, a Liberal in politics, publicly avow ing this, in effect ; that if he could get 91. an acre by these allotments of them, in roods, or other larger patches, he would be justified in taking it ; and that his own labourers could not expect him to deprive himself of such an advantage for their benefit. Now, a maxim of this kind, largely acted on by the landed gentry and nobility of Eng land—this sort of intimation to reckless pauper can didates for the holding of little plots of land, that, let their eagerness push them to offer what improvident terms it might, the disadvantage and loss to them selves must be their look out, and were no matter for the consideration of landlords ;—such a course of proceeding would, indeed, soon " create an Ireland" in England, with all its squalid potato-ground hold ing, half-naked, and utterly destitute small tenantry. We will do the landed interest of England, with all their faults, the justice of avowing that we have not the remotest fear that so heartless an avowal —so utter a repudiation of the late Mr. Secretary DRUMMOND'S apothegm, "that property has its duties as well as its rights"—will find half a dozen imitators in the same rank or station of society as his who gave it utterance ;—half a dozen followers in the attempt at what " Mercianus" terms " thus basely exact ing" exorbitant rents for inferior land from those least capable of paying it." But we cannot dismiss the subject without touching on the views of that writer himself. After reproving the manufacturers for their fears " that allotments may interfere with the employers' time ;" and the alarms of " the more niggardly and timid farmers," that " the man will waste his strength before he comes to work ; the man will keep his grown-up sons at home ; he will steal corn (if he grows it he cannot be dis covered);"—and here let us assure the reader we are accurately quoting these shameful and intolerable assumptions to the discredit of the labourer, with verbal minuteness ; the correspondent of our Contemporary declares that "the object should be to leave him a labourer or a hand-loom wearer, and to give him the means only of producing what he consumes himself." 'Why should he not raise more —aye, and sell it, too, at a good profit, we ask, if he can ? "He is then," continues the writer, " de pendent on no market, and wastes no time in specu lation." Admirable solicitude ! Excessive sympathy for the laborious improver of his meagre portion of leisure. Do the great employers, then—whether manufacturers or landowners—really look, as they have often been said to do, upon their workmen and servants as beasts of burden—as brute animals, or mere biped locomotive machines, which you may feed, and even keep at rest occasionally, up to a certain point, but no further ? Have they the fee-simple of these men's bones, sinews, labour— and not merely of their labour, sinews, bones, but of their very hopes and aspirations, their intellectual energies and moral impulses—that once, forsooth, having been " farm labourers or hand-loom weavers," they never shall become other—higher—richer abler—better ?—lf some latent " YOUNG" or " L1EBIG" shall have conceives, from the rude but continuous processes connected with the cultivation of his little allotment, some schemes of general agricultural im provement, or for ensuring the multiplication of his horticultural produce, or for profitably applying some chemical properties, which he may have silently de tected, in these labours of his " after hours," in the disintegration of vegetable substances or earths, to the purposes of manure and dressing ; he is to be arrested in these audacious flights of discovery and usefulness, that a hand-loom may not stand still for one minute of its accustomed evolutions, or a single flail be deserted by the vigorous hands and arms of its accustomed thresher ! It was calculated, in 1841, that there were abcut 3,500,000 acres of the waste lands of England which were susceptible of improvement. Might it not be a more than expedient, and to a legitimate extent de cidedly a profitable application of such lands by their owners, to lose no time in parcelling them out, on a fair and equitably arranged system of conditions, and in convenient allotments for the labouring poor, willing to avail themselves of so certain and salutary a means of improving their own condition by increasing their supply of food, and raising a sufficient surplus of edible produce to add sensibly to the limited amount of their own incomes ? For our own parts, we should rejoice beyond measure to see them enabled, by such employment, and such success, to advantageously ex change or remove from their present occupations, wherever these are extremely underpaid, prejudicial to their health, or distasteful to their wishes and desires—so far from conditioning, in the first instance, that " the weaver shall be permanently kept—to weave on still; and the labouring hind to his farm labours, without change or promotion." We have received Madrid papers of the 25th. According to these Senor ISTURITZ was seriously in disposed. His complaint was said to be congestion of the brain. The debates on the address were to com mence on the 26th, but it was generally understood they would be delayed for some time, on account of IsTunirz's illness. He had given notice of the following amendment : " The Deputies, your faithful subjects, gratefully acknowledge the solicitude of your Majesty for the wel fare of the nation in the desire manifested by your Majesty to see the field of political discussions closed as speedily as possible, and the institutions by which the country is to be governed consolidated for the future. " Your Majesty, who, in her wisdom, recognised the gravity of that most essential question, will be pleased to receive with kindness the opinion of Congress, which considers of the utmost utility for the realisation of the important object your Majesty proposes to accomplish the adjournment of the examination of that question to another Legislature, in order that after experiencing the effect of the organic laws, of which the nation stands in immediate need, the Deputies may, in concert with the Government of your Majesty, discuss with perfect know ledge the modifications which it may be necessary to in troduce into the constitution of the state." During the debates in the Senate, NAEVAEZ made an attack upon ESPARTERO, denouncing him for at tempting to excite a civil war. Speaking of the good spirit which animated the army and its excel lent state of discipline, he alluded to the recent manifesto of General ESPARTERO, saying that if an ungrateful man were to forget the duty he owed to his country and to his QUEEN so much as to offer his sword to the cause of revolution, more than ten thousand brave swords would leap from their scab bards to combat the movement, and to defend their constitutional QUEEN and public order. The re marks of the Minister caused a deep sensation in the Chamber. We gave the state of the Spanish Funds on the 25th in The Sun of yest3rday. The Paris papers bring no news, and the leading articles in most of them are of the most uninteresting description. In one which appears in the Journal des Debuts, we see that journal has at length taken the new Government of Spain entirely under its protec utthhNeeArcucovueAnextezrtyita.uu tion, and denounces ESPARTERO as the greatest enemy Constitution After oC:o. r it not, adds—" Whether d o t " m s ambiguous Heaven evn hept hree r- SpainnY writing change aobf serve that noble land from falling again under the rule of ESPARTERO. The best Constitution is that which is now being carried into execution. ESPAR TERO would have promulgated a hundred Constitu tions without executing any of them." The Globe contains the following article relative to the new loan :—" If we are well informed, all uncer tainty with respect to the loan will shortly cease, and a loan of 300,000,000 f. in the Three per Cents. will almost immediately be announced for adjudication on the 25th of November next. This is a determination as skilful as it is wise, for in our opinion, a negotiation for the full amount of the loan, is the only mode of giving a spring to public credit, which has been too long compressed. It must have, moreover, the ad vantage of adjourning indefinitely the conversion of the Five per Cents., which we have never ceased to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2 1844. regard as a measure both impolitic and unjust, a which becomes every day more impracticable." The French Funds were rather lower on Thursday, the Three per Cents. hating closed at 81f. 850. THE BOURSE--11UR SDAY, OCT. 31. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

TILE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED B y 21 1 %, MARSII AGAINST CHAPMAY, CLERK.—THE BA° BOURNE CASE. rilljem This was a suit promoted against the Rev. Herbert Chapman, vicar of the parish of Ba si l: baurne, in the diocese of Ely and p rov i nc e of Can t e d bury, calling on him to answer c er t a i n articles s" to interrogatories, which charged him with refusl b p bury the body of Jane Rumbold, daughter of . 1 4 14 Rumbold, contrary to the cano n s an d rubric 0 ' h i e Church; firstly, for having refused to perform 41 , office in the year 1840 ; and seco n dly, i n the year 1 84 o f Numerous affidavits were read, the articles.; which exhibited that John Rumbold was a lah° llr n in 'e, man, and a parishioner of the R ev . Mr. ChaPm s " o , although he was a member of the Independent Otto gregation, of which the R ev . Mr. M oo re was, 'le minister. Upon the death of Rumbold's 1840, he went, accompanied by a person na"" f e Hopkins, to the Rev. Mr. Chapman, and S l ip ' him • that " convenient notice" which was the accordance with the canons, by saying to Rev. Gentleman he wished him to " perform ' office," in burying his (Rumbold's) child ; but W e i ; Chapman refused to do so, on the ground that di e deceased had not been baptised according to .5‘ forms of the Church of England, but that the ea c i ii , ment had been administered by a minister of an ;he dependent congregation, and he also alleged that ; t o child had not been baptised at all, although Reverend Mr. Moore had informed Mr. Clulfti that he (Mr. Moore) had baptised the deceased, an `;s desired Rumbold to be at church at half-past the o'clock, when the Rev. Mr. Chapman would reseL o t burial service. The articles further stated at c c , length that the child had been baptised by the Mr. Moore with water, in the name of the Tri i l3 , l o o The deceased was taken to the churchyard, and ,;teil thence to the porch of the church at the apri,',ol time, , when Rumbold begged of Mr. ChaPF, o t i to bury the child, saying, at the same . "j" " I will pay you whatever fees you ma y derunif To this the Rev. Mr. Chapman replied, " I posi t° :;to refuse to do so," and the same answer was gis e : t several subsequent earnest entreaties on the r t ti lt , the poor and bereaved father with a similar rd his The consequence of this refusal was that he an i d friends and neighbours who attended the funer s ' h alc to return home (a very long d stance), taking "" efi t the corpse which was still unburied at the e5 O moment, and was, therefore, more than four r Y e 0 w now above ground through the refusal ef, to Rev. Mr. Chapman to bury any person be10n0 3 7 0 4 a Dissenting congregation. When the apPli c9 de was made to Mr. Chapman, subsequent to th e fo p ceased being brought to the church, he had a P e A "i i i , who was an attorney's clerk, and before that i n t he dual he said, " I refuse to bury the child forded, reasons I gave before." Those reasons were ti ° $ 0 stood by all to be, because the deceased Wa s jp heretic. Written notice was served u pon i , i of Chapman, shortly after the decision of the io Council in the Gedney case. Rumbold sW° l. , e f tile his affidavit that Mr. Chapman offered to pay h a ', be fees of burial at the Independent chapel, 13 °,," he re (Rumbold) refused to have his child buried there because his wife and ten children were buried il l parish church. On the part of the Rev. Mr. Chapman it Was ""ibst that the courts of common law held, ~, fot where a suit was instituted against a clergy d rat the non-performance of his office, it was essent itu oth due proof of sufficient notice, according to the . ‘ , O O canon, should be given of his having been called vrarcl to perform this office before the Court could O l io, damages against him, and that if it were oth eryl u d all the clergy of the dioceses of York and C a nterb oi l would be at the mercy of every parishoner wh° hs d an against him. Mr. Chapman had n ot era sufficient and convenient notice, and therefore tb r e , could be no grounds for asking the Court tP P nounce judgment upon the Rev. Gentleman. v ia The Learned Advocates upon both sides ha addressed the Court, Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST said, perhaps it _gni4 have been better if there had been more testion, with respect to the fact of due notice. Hovveveortio it was, the case was closed for the present, and stand over for judgment. The case was then adjourned indefinitely.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool for the week up to yesterday evening were 36,900 bales, the demand having been moderate.

The return of the Bank of England to Oct. 26 does not show any important fluctuation. The circulation has been reduced to the extent of 186,180/., being now 27,545,7301., and in the banking department there has been a slight increase in the Rest, viz, 3,3541. The public deposits are again less, having been reduced from 3,965,1961. to 3,556,646/. There is an increase in the bullion to the banking department of 629,4741. The letters received from Brussels and Antwerp this morning state that the application for allotments of the New Belgian Two-and-a-half per Cents., contracted by the Messrs. Rothschild, very far exceeded the amount that was in the hands of the agents of the contractors for distribution. A strong desire was shown to hold this stock, as it is not by any means improbable that ere long the Govern ment of Leopold will do, as our Finance Minister has done here, reduce the interest on the Five per Cents. It would appear that there is every prospect that some of the more material terms of the contract, as remitted from Rome to Madrid, for the marriage of the Queen of Spain to the son of Don Carlos, will be vetoed by the Chambers—more especially those which would place on the debt an immense amount of expenditure incurred by the Carlist revolution and the value of church property sold. That the marriage will take place, however, there appears no doubt, if the most accurate accounts from the Spanish capital are worthy of full credit. Consols opened rather flatly to -day, but this has been so broken a week that the attendance in the market is very limited, and, therefore, affords no criterion. The quo tations are 994 to par for Money, and par to Dm* for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 68s. to 655. pre mium, and India Bonds 90s. premium. Bank Stock is firmer, being 204 to 2043-.

Week ending NAME OF RAILWAY. Last week. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF GENERAL NARVAEZ AND BARON DE MEER. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM SPAIN. (From the Mornin► Herald.) We have received by Extraordinary Expresses from Bayonne and Perpignan, the following important in telligence from Madrid and Barcelona : " MADRID, OCT. 27. " A fresh conspiracy has been discovered. General Narvaez was to have been assassinated at the entrance of the French embassy, where he dined. "General Prim was arrested this morning. Other arrests were made last night and this morning. "BARCELONA, OcT. 27. " Four hundred or five hundred persons, with the bonnet-rouge, asembled on the Rambla, and sur rounded the Alcade and his deputy, who were soon rescued by the Mosos of the Foreign Legion. " Other troops arrived, and the rioters were dispersed. The Baron de Meer, on leaving the theatre, proceeded on foot along the Rambla, and a number of persons were arrested, after two officers of the police being stabbed." ANOTHER LEITER. " BARCELONA, OCT. 27. "At eight o'clock two assassins were arrested, at the moment of their making an attempt on the life of Baron de Meer; but these men were rescued from the guard who were conducting them to the Ataranzanus, by a mob consisting of at least five hundred men. PARIS, FRIDAY, FIVE o'CLocx. Holiday here to-day. No Bourse; at the passage Rent dull at 81 80. No news whatsoever. (From the Times.) " MADRID, OCT. 27. " A fresh conspiracy has just been discovered. General Narvaez was to have been assassinated at the gate of the French Embassy, where he dined. General Prim was arrested this morning. Other ar rests were made last night and this morning." " BARCELONA, OCT. 27. " At eight o'clock this afternoon two assassins were arrested at the moment they were about to at tack the Baron de Meer, who was alighting from his carriage at the theatre. They were rescued from the guard which was escorting them to the Atarazanas by a mob, consisting of at least 500 armed men." "BARCELONA, OCT. 28. "Four or five hundred persons, wearing red caps on their heads, proceeded to the Rambla, and seized upon the Alcade and his deputy, who were rescued by the Mosos of the Foreign Legion. Other troops arrived and the rioters were dispersed. The Baron de Mcer, on leaving the theatre, proceeded along the Rambla. Forty persons were arrested Two officers and a gendarme were stabbed with knives. " The result of this attempt is not calculated to encourage the disaffected." CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The long vacation concluded yesterday, and Michaelmas Term commenced to-day. The Lord Chancellor was waited upon at his house, in George street, llanover-square, shortly after eleven, by the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, and several members of the Corporation, when his Lord ship signified her Majesty's approval of him for Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. His Lordship afterwards, as is usual at Michael mas and Easter Term., entertained the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, at breakfast, and then, accompanied by the Learned Judges, proceeded in State to Westminster to open the Courts. The Lord Chancellor took his seat about half-past one o'clock, attended by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the Vice-Chancellors Wigram, and Masters Sir G.Wil son and Duckworth. It was understood that the Vice Chancellor Knight did not attend his Lordship in consequence of there being no place in which he could sit. Surely at the present time, when the House of Commons is not sitting, the two Committee-rooms that have hitherto been devoted to the new Vice-Chancellors might again be placed at their disposal, instead of subjecting the bar to the inconvenience, in the first place, of one judge not sitting, and in the next of compelling them, amid the drenching rain, to cross from the courts at Westminster Hall to the Sessions-house. On the Lord Chancellor taking his seat, Mr. Hilyard and Mr. Thickust, on being appointed Queen's counsel, were called by his Lordship within the bar. The COURT then heard appeal motions. The aprce of Toledo v. Vieta was postponed to a future da y The Court then proceeded with other appeals, at d rose shortly after three o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The VIOE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND took his seat in his Court at Westminster, shortly after half-past one o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions, none o. which possessed any points of public interest. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term the Judges did not take their seats upon the bench until one o'c'ock. LOCKWOOD V. WOOD. TOLLS OF EASINGWOLD MARKET AND FAIR. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, the proprietor of Easingwold market and fair, to recover certain stallage from the defendant, who had erected a stall in the market-place of Easingwold. The defendant pleaded that the inhabitants of Easingwold were free from stallage. The case has been frequently argued, and tried more than once—the point to be decided being whether the exemption of the in habitants from toll, which was admitted to exist, in cluded also an exemption from stallage. The last occasion in which it was tried was at York, before the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. Mr. WATSON now applied for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and enter a verdict for the plaintiff, or for a new trial, on the grounds, first, that there was no evidence to support the verdict : secondly, that the verdid was contrary to evidence ; and thirdly, that there had been misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge.—Rule nisi granted. IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES BESSET-HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a writ of habeas corpus directed to the Keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter, to bring up the body of Charles Besset, who was de tained under the provisions of the extra-tradition treaty with France. Several points would arise as to the construction of the Act of Parliament. The case had been already heard at Chambers, and the Judge had directed application to the full court. Lord DENMAN—You had better take your writ at once.—Application granted. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice Patteson took his seat on the bench shortly after one o'clock. WEBSTER V. CHANDLER. Sir J. BAYLEY moved in this case for an inter pleader rule on behalf of the defendant, calling on the plaintiff and one James Gibson to state the nature of their claims to the Galloway stakes. It appeared that the defendant was the steward of those races, and held a sweepstakes of 141., which was run for in three heats, between Fairy Queen, belonging to Mr. Gibson, and Hopping Kate, belonging to the plaintiff. Fairy Queen came in first twice, and Hopping Kate second. The owner of the latter horse, however, claimed the stake, on the ground that Fairy Queen was disqualified. The objecZ . which the defendant had in making this application was to prevent his being sued by both parties. Mr Justice PATTESON at first doubted whether the Court could interfere where the stakes were under 501., but on looking over the statute he found that the Act of 13 George 11. was repealed by the 3d and 4th Vict., and granted the rule.
