*cannot eCad, or reading cannot understand, the few lines of pl yin English which he quotes'from our columns of yesterday, there May be more of folly than of knavery in what he has been so " delivered over to himself" as to write. We said that the c'uty,itany, should be a fixed duty, that it must not of course . he ilprotecting duty, and that it ought not, we thought, to be -.--n - Auty for revenue. To this Sawney answets, 4' Now a fixed duty, as far as it goes, must necessarily either be a protection to the landlord or a source of revenue, and if moderate it would be both." Indeed! Now, we say that if the new duty be a protecting duty, we make mere patchwork of the matter, and retain that feature of the present Corn-laws which is the most indefensible of the whole. The main principle involved in this question is, whether one class bhall be protected at the expense of the rest of the com munity. There may be many opinions respecting matters of detail, but upon this principle there can be but two—ay or no ; and if the new Corn-law is merely to substitute one protect ing duty for another protecting duty, then it would be better to let matters remain as they are, because in that course there would be no humbug—no room for playing the Whig game of thimble-rig. We insist, moreover, that the chief necessary of life ought not to be taxed for revenue, unless the exigencies of the state absolutely require it. This is what we meant when we said the duty ought not, we think, to be a duty for revenue :" and if we are wrong in that opinion, we have at least the satisfaction of knowing that we have erred in common with the most distinguished authorities. At the same time, we bore in mind that it may not be possible to spare from the revenue the amount of those taxes which the agriculturists now pay, and width they may fairly claim to be relieved from when they are de prived of the protection they now enjoy. We said, therefore, that the duty ought to be sufficient to cover the amount of those taxes, and all the writers we have read upon the subject ha e drawn a distinction between this sort of duty and a duty for reie,iue; so that we have used no fanciful or new-fangled phraseology—though in strictness it is quite true that a duty which p-events loss to revenue, has as much the character of a duty f)r revenue as a duty which gives actual increase to the income of the State. The distinction betw: en the two, how- ever, is very obvious in principle, and in regard to amount they wll to found to be very different things in prac tice. But that which has galled - the Ministers and !h. it hirelings of the press most in what we said yesterday, is to be found in the concluding sentence of our article. It ran thus We shall just add, that the manoeuvres now set on foot, and actively prosecuted by the Queen's Ministers to degrade this vast national question into an instru ment of their own factious and jobbing selfishness, will recoil upon them fearfully before they arc one month older." For this we are assailed in each Government print with certain s( n tences of abuse which arc evidently as much Ministe rial "circulars" as Lord John Russell's invitation to the tall to be up in time to vote upon the address. They prove to us, moreover, that the Ministers perfectly well understand our meaning, and that they anticipate the exposure they so richly merit. We believe it was Hobbes who said that in forward ing any good work he would not refuse the assistance of the Devil himself: and what Hobbes said of the first Whig, so say we of that first Whig's representatives now in office ; but still we are not thereby precluded from pointing out, as we detect it in their motives and their measures, the cloven impress of the founder and patron of their party. We turn with pleasure from such antagonists as these, to answer the question which has been put to us by a Contemporary of a very different character. We al lude to the Standard, whom we are sorry to number among our opponents on this question of the Corn-laws. Our Con temporary, alluding to the observations we made yesterday re specting lands now under tillage, but which ought never to have been taken out of pasture, says—" Now we bee re spectfully to ask, what was it that caused such a breadth of pasture land to be laid under the plough ? Nut the Corn laws, for they notoriously did not exist when the great agriculs aural change was effected. It was the war—ths war which threw England upon her own resources, and left to her the lesson that a nation which will be independent must have the means of self-support. If those foreign supplies now promised as an equivalent for our voluntarily ruined tillage, should we ruin it, were available thirty years ago, why was so great a breadth of land converted, at an obvious present sacrifice, from pasturage to tillage, and if they were not available thirty years ago, what reason is there to suppose that they would he available in any future war ? This is a question we require to have answered, and if the answer be, that as pasture land was in the late war from necessity turned to till age, so it may be again, we would remind our answerer of the enormous cost of the late war, caused in no small degree by the high prices which this change rendered necessary, as it was prompted by still higher prices." Supposing the assertions by which these questions are accompanied to be correct—and contenting ourselves with merely reminding our Contemporary of the vast change which has been effected since the war by improved tillage in Ireland and Scotland—we beg, in our turn, to ask, why it is more prudent or more necessary to maintain now the agricultural system that was permitted during the war than it is to keep up our naval and military force at the war point ? Let us ask, too, Nether anything short of the high prices which prompted the turning of those lands to tillage can continue them in til lage—whether as prices have fallen they have not always been thrown out of tillage—and whether this state of things must not continue as long as fluctuations in price occur ? As to it being necessary that a nation, in order to be independent, must have the means of self-support, if that be true in regard to raising Corn, it must be true of every thing else, and there is no such nation under Heaven. But it is no more necessary that one kingdom should have the means of self-support (in the sense in which our Contemporary uses the words), than it is that each of the counties of a kingdom should have the means of self-support : and so far from concurring with the Standard on this subject, we have always been of the opinion so well expressed by Lord Grenville In the protest entered on the journals of the House of Lords in 1815 " To confine the consumer of corn to the produce of his own country, is to i efuse to ourselves the benefit of that provision which Providence itself has made for equalizing to man the variations of climate and of seasons." It is not only sufficient for a nation's independence, but -it is essential for a nation's independenc e , th at i t should be able to • procure by purchase or exchange those commodities which it stands in need of, and which other nations can supply better and more cheaply than it can produce them. How much longer we may be able to do this will materially depend upon how much longer one tenth part of the community shall bo allowed, by means, of Coen-laws, to lay a lax of 9,000,0001. or 10,000,000/. a-year upon the public at large.— Times. EXPLOSION OF GAS AT MANCHESTER.—On Tuesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, an explo sion of gas took place, the report of which can only be com pared to a piece of heavy ordinance, or as though a barrel of powder had exploded on the premises. This catastrophe, it is painful to admit, appears to have arisen more from ex treme carelessness and inattention, than from any danger attendant on the common use of gas. It appears that in one of the tellers of the shops, some men were employed in making certain alteration in the apparatus ; and that to ef fect this, it was necessary to cut off or sever the service from the main pipe ; and that when this was effected, pre caution was not taken to stay the emission into the pre mises. The men employed were, it is said, absent for a short period, for the purpose of obtaining a candle with which to complete their work ; at the moment of their re turning the exact admixture of hydrogen gas with the at mospheric air had just been effected, so that an explosion was inevitable. It is scarcely possible to conceive the destruction of property more complete. Most of the shop floor, the chamber-floors, roofs, chimneys, and side walls, all in one common ruin ; only a little of the front preserved. At the time of the explosion the two Misses Winks, daughters of Samuel Winks, Esq., were in the shop of Mr. -, confectioner ; and providentially the chamber floors fell at such as angle as to prove a safe shelter for them, from the falling tiles and bricks. They were both slightly, and but slightly injured. There was also an elderly lady on the premises, and who was rather more seriously injured, though by no means dangerously hurt. The Misses Winks were standing near the door, and the shop front was preserved for about eight feet. The owner of the property, at the mo ment, a Mr. Hodgson, was superintending the repairs of the buildings, occasioned by the late storm, but who pro videntially_ escaped without the least injury. The bricks and tiles were thrown to an immense height. There was not any one killed. THE COAL TRADE.—On Tuesday, the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress gave their first State din ner for the season to the Court of Aldermen and their Ladies. There were present, eighteen Aldermen and their Ladies, the Recorder and the Hon. Mrs. Law, the Sheriffs, Colonel Moberly, Sir Frederick Roe, Mr. and Mrs. Pownall, the Common Sergeant, the Secondaries, the four City Pleaders, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Eden, &c. About seventy sat down to dinner. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen wore their scarlet robes, the officers of the Cor poration their official dresses, and the rest of the company appeared in military or Court costume. In the course of the day there were unusually large fires kept up through out the building. His Lordship stated that there was not, in any grate in the house, a single coal that had anv connection with the combination, and that he had purchased the article at the very fair price of twenty-two shillings per ton !—that the fires burnt as well as any combination coal fire at 345. per ton, there was no doubt whatever. There will, we understand, be two dinners per week, given by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, until the whole of the Corporation shall have been feasted; and his Lord. ship has given orders that not a single combination coal shall be burned in the Mansion-house, until the whole of the ten tons of the twenty-two shillings a ton coal shall have been consumed. The grates in the Mansion-house are now called anti-combination grates! Most unques tionably, if the public can get such beautiful fires as those which the Lord Mayor burns, and at as cheap a rate, the northern monopoly is likely to be broken up sooner than its most zealous enemies anticipated. MISAPPLICATION OF THE CITY MONEY.-At a late meeting of the City of London Corporate Reform Acsociation, it was stated, on the authority of Mr. Charles Pearson, that during fifty years ending 1830, more money had been paid for the furniture, repairs, and decorations of the Mansion-hous e than had been expended during that time for widening the streets of the city, and for the im provements connected with the comfort, security of life and limb, and for the convenienc e of commerce of the whole metropolis. MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (nom THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE.—A slight depression has occurred in Consols. There arc rumours afloat in the City to the effect that the Bank of England has latterly been subjected to very extensive losses by protested bills. . A short time since, it will be remembered, we mentioned that the Directors of the Bank of England had been sud denly thrown into a state of alarm by the arrival of a com munication from Paris, just after the weekly court broke up, but we were uncertain at the time whether it had reference to the position of Lafitte's Joint Stock Bank, or some pri. vate establishment. We now understand that it bad refer ence chiefly to the latter • and, strange to say, was an appli cation for assista nce from houses in Paris, through their connec tions here; while it will perhaps appear still more strange to state that the accommodation sought for was granted ; but, we understand, such was the case. In this respect no doubt the Directors acted wisely, for the suspension of payment on the part of any leading firms in Paris just alter the stoppage of the Bank of Belgium, and the advance of eleven millions of francs from the Bank of France to Laffitte, would have completely destroyed all confidence, and brought on the finan cial panic which was so much dreaded in that capital, and which necessarily would, at least, have created much uneasi ness here. The conduct of the B ink of England towards the American houses has, no doubt, taught them a lesson of pru dence ; and we believe that the apprehension which was so strongly felt in Paris, has been almost entirely removed by the prompt assistance which all parties in need of it received from their friends, as well as the Banksof England and France. TIMES.—By the letters from Liverpool it appears that a meeting has been called togetlit r of the Proprietors of the Manchester mid Liverpool District Bank, at which some cu rious workings of the Joint-stock system in that part of the country have bsen brought to light. This bank, it is said, is admitted to have sustained losses by bad debts, according to an estimate which has been piepared for the occasion, of 375,00u1., being an excess ef about 145,0001. over and above the amount of the reserved fund, or accumulated profits of 'the bank- since the period of its formation. We have not seen any report of this meeting beyond wile. is contained in private letters, but it is understood that the, transactions ou. of which these losses have prin cipally arisen have been loans to different manufacturers by way of mortgage. The "amount of the reserved fund would be an indication cf,_a very prosperous career previ ously, if legitimately made up out of the profits of bank ing, the real merits of which, however, it will be the interest of the shareholders to examine into very carefully, and they will further consult the interest of the public at large if they hereafter make all the particulars of. their inquiry knewn. This is one of the banks which, when the Committee of the House of Commons on joint stock banks first sat in 1536, de dined giving in a written answer to the queries contained it: the circular of Mr. Spring Rice, sent round shortly before the inquiry, so that much less knowledge of the real state of its affairs has been obtained than of most of the other banks. The shares in this bank have declined in value in consequence of these disclosures, but not such as might have been antici pated. They are at a discount of about 1 per cent. POST.—The transactions in Foreign Bills this afternoon were, generally speaking, at rates more favourable to the drawer. Amsterdam was done at 12 3-1, Paris 25 50, Ham burgh 13 8.1, Antwerp 12 la, and Frankfort at 150. All these quotations are rather lower than on the last post-day, with the exception of that of Antwerp, which remains unaltered. We perceive by the .Harnburyh Correspondent of the 11th instant, that the Leipsic new year's fair is proceeding less satisfactorily than could be desired. The attendance of buyers was thin, while the sellers of goods, on the contrary, were more numerous than usual. Of the former, those from the banks of the Danube were extremely few. The sales of English manufactures are found to be quite limited, and it is remarked that these appear to be on the decrease every year. The prices of woollen cloths are exceedingly low, but silk goods are more in favour. The fair is now nearly over. The private advices from Hamburgh make mention of the overflowing of the Elbe, and of a great deal of damage having been done to the shipping and the lower part of the town The water had risen to the unusual height of eighteen feet, but matters do not appear to be so bad as they are represented to have been in the Newspapers. HERALD.—Money stil continues to wear much the same value in the Discount Market as it did at the close of the last week, and the bankers and leading bill-brokers still give 9 per cent. on temporary lodgments. The continental exchanges wear precisely the same tendency downwards as on the last post-day, whilst there has not bet n any material alteration in the quotations. The business in the British Funds is still on the increase, and the quotations have rather improved upon the closing prices of yesterday. Consols for Money closed at 921 a and 921 a for the Account. The Three-and-a- Half per Cent. Reauced Annuities are 100 k a and the New Three and-a- Half per Cents. are 1004 aI. Bank Stock is 203, and India 2574 time. The premium upon Exchequer Bills rules at 68 a 70, and on India Bonds at 64. The Foreign Market continues in the most active state of speculation, and the mania for gambling in the Peninsular Bonds has been carried on to-day at a rate not warranted by the financial situation of either Portugal or Spain. It is most generally considered to be the r esult of the operations of a party who were initiated in the rig of 1835. Portuguese Five per Cent. New Bondi have advanced to 36, and the Three per Cent. ditto to 23. Spanish Bonds with the May Coupons are 181, and Deferred 71. Brazilian Bonds are 78: Buenos Ayres 18, Cuba 74 ; Colombian 281 a 29, and Mexican Six per Cents. 24} a 8. Belgian Bonds are 991 ; Danish are 75f ; French Four-and-a- Half per Cent. Rentes are 106 f. ; and the Exchange 25f. 40c. ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are 54i- ; the Old Five per Cents. are 1021 a i; and the New Loan, 1001. The dealings in the Share Market have not been of much importance, neither have the quotations much altered. Great Western Railway are 13 prem. ; Brighton are 21 dis. ; and Blackwell lf dis. Southampton are 6f a 6 dis. ' • the New Ditto Shares 19 prem. ; and the North Midland 1 prem. Australasian Bank Shares are 30 prem. ; Colonial Bank Scrip is 51 prom. ; and the Shares of the Union Bank of Australia arc 5 prem. The interest which is generally taken in the promotion of a sound and comprehensive principle of steam navigation be tween this country and India has been manifested to-day by the numerous and respectable meeting held at the Lon don Tavern. The importance of so desirable a consum mation was so fully demonstrated that all opposition to it soon gave way. The following resolution will prove that now it is determined to carry out the plan of a comprehensive steam navigation be tween this country and India:— " Resolved—That T. A. Curtis, J. P. Larkins, T. Bag shaw, and John Mackillop, Esquires, be requested to take measures for forming a board of direction and preparing a prospectus to carry out the proposed Company, and that the East India Association of London, and the respective cham bers of commerce of Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol, and Birmingham, be respectfully invited to co-operate with the proposed Company. MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.—The authorities are still following up an investigation into this melancholy affair, and among other witnesses examined has been Appleton, the foreman of the North British Fire Office, whose evidence, it will be seen, is of the most important character. We understand that he was prevented from attending at the inquest in consequence of having been severely scalded on the leg on the morning of the fire. He states that on the morning of the fire, after enter ing the waiting-room, he proceeded to the middle door ; it was very much burnt at the top and other parts ; he tried it with his hand, but could not open it ; he then applied his foot to it tivice, but with no better success ; and he states that he felt considerable awe, as it appeared as if some person was leaning against it. He plied his foot for the third time, which had the effect of shattering it, and he advanced into the room, but was driven back by the smoke, which rushed through the aperture, and he made towards the fire-place, and in his course he came against a body, since ascertained to be that of Millie ; he called for a light, and one of the firemen brought him one in a horn lantern, and he found it was a (lead person. He exclaimed, " There must be somebody else here," and turning his eyes to the left, h e o b serve d t h e fi gure o f a man lying in a reclining position, su pp ort i ng hi mse lf on h i s left elbow, with his head raised, with his hat on, and a plaid wrapper round his shoulders. Appleton then took off his hat, and discovered it to be Bolarn, as he knew him, he being a depositor, and he called out " Bolarn," who opened his eyes, and looked intently at him ; he then took his plaid off. By this time other parties had come in, and what then took place has been stated ut the Coroner's inquest. We have leirned that the magistrates were on Thursday engaged at the Police Office examining Mary Walker, Bolam's housekeeper, and the result is, that they have felt it their duty to remand her for a week for further exa mination.—Newcastle Chronicle. A YOUNG EXPRESS MESSENGER.--Yester night week the arrival of the packet ship arford, from New York, with' important news from Mexico, made it indis pensably necessary for an individual, who is in the habit of transmitting intelligence to London, to send a messenger thither with the news in question. Time pressing, and there being no person at hand convenient but a boy nine years of age, him he placed in the six o'clock Grand Junc tion train, and despatched him to town. The child arrived safely at his journey's end, notwithstanding the terrific storm of the night, took a cab at the Euston. square station, and drove thence to the Times Office, to which his despatches were directed, delivering them as cleverly and as early as any grown man, who knew London well, could - have deli vered them. The boy, on the day of his arrival in London, forwarded, through the Post-office, a very characteristic letter, stating how he had discharged the duties of his mis sion, what sights he had seen, and announcing that he should return home on Thursday night, which he did ac cordingly, safe and sound, and highly pleased with his sud den and unexpected visit to London. The Tower, West minster Abbey, and the British Museum, about which he had often read, seem to have engrossed his attention the most.—Liverpool Albion. On Wednesday morning an elderly woman, named Griffiths, the wife of a smith, iesiding in King -street, Long acre, committed suicide by cutting her throat in a frightful manner, in consequence, jt is said, of some family differences. THE SUN, LONpON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1830. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 18. LORD MOSTYN V. BURDEKIN. This was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls, opened on Wednesday. From the evidence it appeared that the Newton branch of the Manchester Bank bad refused to make one of their custo mers, named Pugh, any further advances without security, and that in January, 1834, ['ugh, in consequence of this intimation, brought to th e b an k a promissory note of Lord Mostyn's for a sum of 2,500/ for which he received cash, after having en dorsed it. The note was payable in three months, but tlt bank made no demand from Lord Mostyn, in consequence of their opinion of his solvency, until July, 1835, when they wrote to his Lordship on the subject. Lord Mostyn, in reply, staved his opinion that Mr. Pugh was responsible for pay. meet, and promised inquiries ; but the bank hearing nothing. of the result of those inquiries, coin:re:wed an action, and his Lordship then filed a bill, obtained an injunction, and at the hearing a reference to the Master to inquire whether the bank had given Pugh time for payment, and whether any and what dealiegs had taken place between Pugh and the bank subsequent to the period when the note became due, as any egreement fer delay would exonerate Lord Mostyu, who alleged that he was merely a surety. It was now contended, in support of the appeal, that the action at law was the proper method of disposing of the question between the parties, and that all evidence of dealings between the parties would appear before a Jury in a manner much more satisfactory than if the inquiries proceeded in the Master's office. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the order of the Master of the Rolls for a reference was quite right, but his Lordship added to the order of reference the further inquiry of whether the note had actually been paid by Pugh, as Lord Mestyn alleged that payments were made by Pugh after the note be came due, and that although these payments were tint appro priated to any particular debt, they ought to be held applicable to the payment of the note. BAIL COURT, JAN. 18. POLLACK V. LAWSON. Mr. HUMPHREYS said that the action in this case was brought for a libel alleged to have been published in the Times newspper, and that his present application was for an order to stay the proceedings until the plaintiff had given Se - c uri ty for costs. -The plaint;ff had resided for more than six years in New Zealand and other parts abroad, and as his re sidence was unknown to the defendant, it was supposed that his proper place of abode was not within the jurisdiction of the Court. Upon these grounds the Learned Gentleman submitted that the plaintiff ought to be required to give the usual security for costs. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that unless it were shown that the plaintiff was about to leave the country, he could not com ply with such an application.—Motion refused. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BUCKINGHAM-PALACE, JAN. 17, 1839. This day had audience of her Majesty, Monsieur Galrao, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Brazil, to deliver his letter of recall.

SAMUEL SMITH, timbci -merchant, Pump-row,Old-street-road BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. CHARLES RATHERHAM, timber-dealer, Birmingham. MARTIN V. MRNDERSON Mr. Sergeant STEPHENS moved to have this case, which stood in the peremptory paper of the other Court, heard be fore his Lordship. The action was brought on a bill of ex change, and to the declaration the defendant had pleaded that the bill having been made in France, and no consideration stated in it as was required by the law of that country, it was void. To this plea the plaintiff replied, that although it was true the bill had been drawn at Boulogne, 3 et still that the law of France could not apply in this case, inasmuch as the parties were British subjects, and the bill was accepted and negotiated in England. The defendant put in a demurrer to this repli cation, and as the object of such a proceeding must be delay, the plaintiff was anxious to have the question settled at once. Mr. Justice PATTESON said•that be could not take a case out of the peremptory paper of the other Court ; but if a rule nisi to set aside the demurrer, on the ground that it wa trifling and insufficient, would answer the Learned Gentleman's pur pose, he might have it. Mr. Seri - cant STEPHENS said be would avail himself of his Lordship's suggestion, and accordingly took the proposed rule. LEWIS v. lIOLT. Mr. JAMES moved for a writ of certiorari to have the pro ceedings in a libel case between these parries, pending at the Middlesex Sessions, removed into this Court. The ground upon which hi! made the application was, he said, because the question at issue was nat only of considerable public importance, but involved several nice points of law. Mr. Lee, the Coun sel on the other side, had consented to the removal provided the plaintiff would enter into the usual security for costs, which he was quite willing to do. The Court granted the rule. U. THE MARSHALL OF THE QUEEN'S BENCH. Mr. MAUNSELL moved for a rule to show cause why the Marshal of the prison of that Court should not be called upon to answer the matters contained in the af f idavits on which his application was founded. The Learned Gentle. man said that a party had been confined in the Queen's Bench prison under mesne process, and had, after the Act abolishing imprisonment for debt under mesne process came into operation, obtained the necessary order for his discharge. Before, however, he was set at liberty, an or d er had been obtained from the Chief Justice requiring the Marshall to produce him for the purpose of being charged in execution ; but the Marshal declined to obey this order, and the next day, which was on a Sunday, the prisoner left the prison, end proceeded at once to Boulogne, where ha was now supposed to be residing. Mr. JUSitiCE; PATTESON asked whether the order to produce the prisoner had been made a rule of Court. Mr. MaurrsELL replied that it had net until after the prisoner had left the country. This application was not intended to cast any blame upon the Marshal, who, in point of fact, was out of town when the order was served ; but the question intended to be raised was, whether, under such circurnstaaces, the plain tiff, in the execution, was not entitled to a civil remedy for compensation. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Then you mean to treat this as a case of escape ? Mr. MAUNSELL admitted that constructively this was his object, although in point of fact, be was ready to absolve the Marshal from all save pro forma blame. The reluctance of the Marshal or his officer to obey such an order was natural ; but the question was, could it be justified. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he could not at present see how, according to the facts stated to him, the motion could be put in any better form, and therefore granted a rule nisi, in ac cordance with the terms of the motion. The Court then proceeded to the trial of Nisi Prius cases. CONSISTORY COURT, JAN. 18. JUDGMENT.-SPRY V. THE DIRECTORS AND GUARDIANS OF THE POOR OF THE PARISH OF ST. MAKYLEBONE. The Learned JUDGE gave his decision in this case. It is a suit instituted by the Rev. Dr. Spry, the Rector of St. Mary - lebone, against the guardians of the poor of that parish for fees for the interment of paupers in the new burial-ground of St. Marylebone. The first question for consideration was, whether the Court had jurisdiction. It appeared from the authorities in the book that the Ecclesiastical Court had jurisdiction under certain limitations. It was necessary that the fees should be customary burial fees due for spiritual duties actually performed. The fees in question, it is said, have been paid for a century out of the poor-rates, and were confirmed by the Chancellor of the diocese in 1703, and were not refused by the directors and guardians until last June. According to the plea itself these fees arc not of an cient date, and no power exists in the Chancellor of the dio cese to create new fees. The Acts of Parliament on which much reliance was placed in argument give the vestrymen the power of fixing rates and fees for the new Cemetery; but if they have not exercised that power it does not follow that the fees in the old ground are to be the legal fees of the new. If the Acts are defective in this point the Cdurt cannot supply the defect. He (the Learned Judge) could not say that any fees at all legally existed. The remedy would be by manda mus to compel the vestrymen to fix the fees. The Act does not give this Court jurisdiction, nor does it say in what man ner payment is to be enforced. He ( Dr. Lushington) would therefore dismiss the nominee of the directors and guardians (who were not a Corporation) against whom the payment of these fees, were they legal, could not be enforced. He must dismiss the defendants, but would give no costs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, J 4 IV. 18, IN THE MATTER OF HENRY GOMPERTZ. Mr. Coomt applied in the case of Mr. Gompertz for fur ther time to file his sene- Je; he had been residing within the rules of the Queen's B:nch Prison for a long period, and one of his creditors had presented a petition under the com pulsory clause, and his estate had - been vested in the provi sisional assignee. An application was made on the part of Mr. Gompertz for a month's time beyond the usual period for leave to file his schedule. It was stated that it would be of an enormous size. The application was granted, which had nearly expired. He (Mr.-Cooke) now applied for further time. He said he had an affidavit stating that the attorneys (Messrs. Lewis) had been occupied since December, and had not completed the document. It had now extended to 240 sides of parchment, consisting of between 1,000 and 2,000 folios, and ten days further time was now asked to arrange and read over the voluminous proceeding. The application was granted. EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS.- - " The auth or o f Motives to the Study of Biblical Literature," is pre paring a course of lectures in which the hidden meaning of these character s will be developed by an investigation of the Hebrew of the Pentateuch. When it is considered that the Israelites sojourned nearly three hundred years in Egypt, the natural inference is, that their language must hose been as nearly as poesible identical with that then spoken in that country, and as the Pentateuch was written immediately after the Exodus, it presents the nearest ap proximation to the languag e of the time in which these symbols appear to have been applied to the expression of ideas. Numerous illustration s from ancient monuments will render these Lectures highly curious and interesting.
