Concerning all seditions or insurrections like that at" Newport, it is incumbent on all writers n d reason ers' to distingu ish between social and political discontent. Every observer who attends to this dis tinction must accordingly know that the present dis. content of the Chartists is much more social than political. It has its causes in the very structure of our society, and not in any te m p orar y laws or in the mode of administering them. The opponents of the Chartists, both Tories and Whigs, have continually reproached them with aiming at wrong and unattainable objects. They have complained of too much work and too little pay ; they have asked for Universal Suffrage, say their opponents, only to make an attack on property ; they have assailed capital and capitalists, who, almost all agree, are indispensable to society ; they complain, therefore, of their actual position in society, and their discontent is not caused by any one law, or by the conduct of the Ministers, but by the very structure of society. How far this structure is natural or necessary we give no opinion ; we have to deal with facts, not theories ; and the fact we assert is, that the vast discontent which now pervades the operative classes, and which makes them ready to follow FROST or O'CorrNon, is by themselves ascribed to their having too much work and too little pay. It is, and has been from the beginning, discontent with their position in society. Such being the fact, when the Tories charge the Whigs with being the authors of that discontent, ' it is our business to observe that the Whigs have done a great deal, if not all which the Tories would allow them to do, to remove the cause of discon tent. They have laboured to reduce the expendi ture and taxation of the country, and if the humanity of the middle classes have forced them to an extra ordinary outlay for the redemption of the slaves ; if the general ambition of those and the upper classes have compelled them to expend large sums for the maintenance of a huge colonial empire ; if they have latterly, as we have asserted, followed too closely the steps of the Tories, and so aggravated the burdens of the poor, no person can deny that they have been all along the advocates of reduction of expenditure, and of the remission of taxation. At the same time they, on principle, much more than the Tories, have generally ad vocated the abolition of those restrictions on trade, such as the Timber Duties, Corn laws, Sugar Protecting Duties, &c., which tend to limit trade and keep down wages. It must also be said to the honour of the Whigs, that they have promoted free discussion and the political education of the people, so that their opinions and their dis content have found a vent, have not been pent up in their own bosoms, and have been made known to their rulers. Now, on all these points the Tories have always been opposed to the Whigs. They have advocated increased ex penditure, and have resisted the reduction of taxation ; they have opposed the abolition of restrictions in trade, have laboured to resist the spread of knowledge, and have done all in their power to make the hard condition of the labouring classes still more hard. To extreme poverty they have added, as far as they could, extreme degrada tion, and have exasperated the social disadvantages of the labouring man by political grievances. But there is another and still more important point on which the Whigs shine out to advantage, as com pared to the Tories. Through the whole of the last year, we may say for two or three years back, up to the present time, the Tories have reproached the Whigs with not having struck terror into the Chartists by great severity. It is the boast of the Whigs that they have executed the law with all the mildness pos sible, and they are reproached by the Tories with having done so. Now we beg their attention to the following assertions of a journal, which they are lately very much in the habit of quoting as an unan swerable authority. " Equally true is it," says the Spectator, " that the law so recently enforced had not terrified, but exasperated, the Welsh Chartists. They vowed revenge for VINCENT, together with the liberation of that popular victim." " Neither, may it safely be predicted, will the slaughter in Monmouthshire, or the sacrifices on the scaffold, which may be at hand, quell the insurrectionary spirit." Thus the Tory policy, so opposite to that of the Whigs, would have increased all the difficul ties of the working classes, and their increased severity would, on the Spectator's authority, have failed to terrify the Chartists. It would have exaspe rated all their privations, and have provoked greater discontent. The policy of the Tories would have added,by their harsh mode of administering an unjust and sanguinary code, a political grievance to a social grievance, and would have enlisted, by cruelty and persecution, as in former times, the sympathies of the middle classes on the side of sedition. It is a singular feature in the present out-break, wholly due to the mild and merciful manner in which the Whigs have executed the law, as com pared to the practice of the Tories, and the general custom of the country previously, that not one word is said in extenuation of the conduct of Mr. FROST and his followers ; that not one circumstance palliates, much less justifies it ; and that not one newspaper writer, as far as has come under our knowledge, has ventured to write a paragraph in its favour. It is universally condemned as a most wanton, unwarrantable attack by one set of men on their peaceable fellow-citizens. These circum stances would certainly have been reversed had the Tories been in power, and had carried the law into execution in their own manner, or had the Whigs been induced by them to adopt their principles and practices. Not only, therefore, would the Tories have aggravated all the evils of the social condition of the working classes by their principles of taxation and economy, but they would have increased their dis content by unjustifiable severity, and most probably would have caused this unwarrantable local sedi tion to grow into a general and justifiable rebellion. Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 2d inst., have been duly received. The QUEEN had con ferred upon the late Minister of War, General ALAIX, the Grand Cross of CHARLES 111. Two of his colleagues, CA RRA MOLINA and RIBERA, were likewise presented with similar decorations. General ALAIX was preparing to set out for Ma laga, to try what effect a change of air would have upon his health. Senor ARRAzoLA was labouring with all his might to effect a re-construction of the Cabinet. A Madrid journal states that the follow ing four plans were severally under the considera tion of the QUEEN and her Council :- 1. The formation of a Coalition Ministry, and the dis so:.ution of the Cortes. 2. The composition of a Cabinet exclusively composed o f m o d e r b dos, and the dissolution of the Cortes for the sake of obtaining a Moderado majority. 3. The construction of s Cabinet, into which would be admitted members of the moderate faction of the Exaltado party, and the resumption of the Session on the 20th of November. 4. The total change of the Cabinet, and the indefinite prorogation of the Cortes. Madrid was tranquil, but the people had lost all confidence in the Government. The general im pression was, that the REGENT and her advisers are endeavouring to get rid of the Constitution al together. If such an attempt be made, it will put an end to Royalty in Spain. No later accounts have been received from Es- PARTERO'S head-quarters than those which we published on Saturday. Premiums were offered, according to rank, for all desertions from the Carlist troops; and an opinion was generally enter t a ined that ESPARTER O was 1n treaty with som e o f the Carlist chiefs commanding under CABRERA. Lisbon Papers of the 4th instant, brought by the Iberia steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Friday evening, have reached us , but we fin d in them no news of interest. Thz anti-English, or rather pro-Slavery portion of the Portuguese Press, had made the notable discovery that England was indebted to Portugal about a million ster ling for sundry rations supplied to our starving troops during the Peninsular campaigns of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The setting - fire to British shippin g i n th e Tagus, and the confisca tion iof the E ng lish c h urc h an d property at Lisb on, director s are among the pacific suggestions of these sap ient public opinion, with a view to humb le the prde o f of us insolent id audacious islanders r' The French Journals of Friday and Saturday, the whole of which we have received, contain more V PINING EDITION.

It is quite gratifying to us to quote from the Newcastle Chronicle an account of the proceedings there on Thursday, and to request our readers to contrast those proceedings with the labours of the Tory parsons in the pulpit on the sth of Novem ber, and with the ravings of Tory politicians at Canterbury and Ashton. At Newcastle his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, the Earl of DUR krAM, and their friends, met to promote know ledge, to foster and sustain an institution for the extension of the fine arts, and to encourage amongst the different classes of rich and poor a c9mmunity of kindly feelings. The Tory parsons their pulpits roared forth their ribald and lying ca l m :nines against the Catholics with no other view than to citeite the most unseemly and disgusting passion in tioir auditory—a hatred of great masses of their fellow-men, who have never injured them— on account of a sbacloivy,-;ntangible difference of opi nion on subjects which mu.st be equally unknown to both. Tory politicians, in like manner, belch out their scandalous aspersions against her MA JESTY and all her Court. Carefully avoiding po litical topics, the Duke of SUSSEX nevertheless vindicated the liberal opinions he is well known to Entertain, and while he paid a just homage to his ni u ,-trious Niece, whose name was received with t i tle ap erobation, he took care to inculcate by his words, as well as by his example, a due regard to courtesy in expressing political opinions. How totally diff e !ent all this is from the proceedings of the Tories we need not inform our readers ; nor will they :doubtful for one mo ment as to which line of conduct is the most pa triotic, as well as the most gentlemanlike and most consistent with that universal love which Ls the life and soul of a true Christian's faith. We hope our readers Will remember the speeches delivered at Canterbury and Ashton while they read those deli vered at Newcastle. Whom God means to destroy he humanely first deprives of sense, is an adage by which we must Hafer the speedy destruction of the Tories, for they are ,ltrieken mad. The furious bellowings of the Toty journals, for the last eighteen months, seem at length to have terrified their bewildered readers out of their wits. For them who live, and move, and have their being in authority—who are abso lutely nothing witii.out the smiles of the Court, and the supporting hand ofr the law—who have no hold of the national affections. —whose property is mainly derived from taxes--who aoe hated ten times worse than the Whigs—whose principles are condemned by reason and justice, and dete:Ated by the bulk of the people—for them to go to pub - Ilc feasts to decry Royalty, and insult those who are clothed in its irantle, is to make common cause with .the angry discontented Chartists, and to weaken and destroy the only power that can sustain them. 'This is sank madness. Yet this is what some of the .10m pany assembled at the Guildhall, on Saturt2ay, w're actually guilty of. The citizens, forgetful of what was due to their guests, and forgetful of what was due to good manners, hissed and hooted, and made a most unseemly riot in Guildhall, after the LORD MAYOR had proposed the health of her MA JESTY'S Ministers. Such conduct would be un seemly in Radicals and Republicans, but in Tories— exclusively the gentlemen of the political world, the very models of all that other men ought to be—it is senseless folly. Our Contemporary the Times, of brickbat and bludgeon notoriety, the only Journal which incited the people to brutal violence during the Reform heats, is an extremely bad guide for the Tories. It can only flourish by violence and excitement, and they, poor s i mp l e men, are urged by it into violence to answer it s own commercial purposes. They are the tools of the Times, and are sacrificing their principles and their p arty i n order to keep up the notoriety and the circulation of a journal. When answered its p urposes as t h ey they have as fully can, they will be forsaken by their present guide, who will be the first to deride their impotent struggles to save themsel ves, and to hold their pr e s ent lolly up to the scorn of mankind. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAB7, SOVEMBER 11, iB39. than a wonted supply of miscellaneous intelligence. In the Moniteur of Friday we find a list of twenty new names added to the Peerage, several of them being among the best that could be selected for de creasing the little political influence remaining to that body. We subjoin a list of their names and titles. Their estates must be sought for, with two or three exceptions, in that planet where the things missing in this world are supposed by PLATO to be stowed away for greater security : By individual ordonnances, dated Nov. 7, countersigned by the President of the Council, Minister for Foreign Affairs, the King has raised to the dignity of Peers of France : M. Aubert, formerly Deputy. M. Berenger (de la Drome), Deputy, Counsellor of the Court of Cassation. Count Octavius de Boissy, Member of the Council-Ge neral of the Cher Department. iscount Borelli, Lieutenant-General. Viscount CAvaignac, Lieutenant-General. M. Cordier, Member of the Institute. M. Daunou, ditto, formerly Deputy. M. Despans Cubieres, Lieutenant- General, formerly Mi nister of War. M. Etienne, Deputy, Member of the Institute. M. Lebrun, Member of the Institute. Marquis de Lusignan, Deputy. Baron de Malanet, formerly Deputy. Lieut.-General Count Eugene Merlin, formerly Deputy. M. Persil, formerly Deputy and Minister. Count Jules de la Rochefoucald, formerly Deputy, Mem ber of the Council-General of the Loiret Department. M. Rossi, Member of the Institute. Count de Sainte Herminie, formerly Deputy and Pre fect. Baron Teste, Lieut.-General. M. de Vanden', Deputy, formerly Minister Plenipo tentiary. M. Viennet, Member of the Institute, formerly Deputy. In the above list, PERSIL and LEBRUN repre sent the Doctrinaires ; ETIENNE and BERENGER the Left Centre; and DA UNOU and BORELLI the Extreme Left. PERSIL was one of the framers, and most active executors of the infamous Sep tember Laws, and owes his promotion to the Peerage to a base and unprincipled subserviency, as Procureur-General and Keeper of the Seals, to the will of the KING. But after all it matters very little about the composition of the French Peerage. That assembly is a mere name—a political fiction to which no one in France attaches the idea of influence, personal or aggregate. The Moniteur of Friday publishes the fol lowing telegraphic despatch, confirming the ac counts published in the London Journals of Sa turday of the dismissal . of Count D'ESPAGNE from the command of the Carlists in Catalonia : " PERPIGNAN, Nov. 5.

The number of Cattle was short of an average supply, but the demand not being very great, the trade was little better than last week, with no alteration in prices except Pork, which for the finest sorts found a good demand at an advance of 4d. per stone.

The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed this morning, and occupied the Court the whole day. VICE-CHAN CERY.-('THIS DAY.) KELSEY V. LARKIN. The further arguments in this case, which came be fore the Court upon a motion for a receiver, occupied the Court the greater part of the day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) COLLINS V. JOHNSON. Mr.,KlNDErtsrxv applied to have this cause advanced fur hearing. He knew it was against the general rule of the Court to advance causes, but the circumstances of this case were such as he believed would induce the Court to accede to his application. The case was set down upon second further directions. The first was instituted for the purpose of adminstering the aFsets and carrying into effect the trusts of the will of the testator, who devised his property in such a way that the number of persons interested in that property, and who had been made parties to the suit, amounted to no less than 50 or 60, most of them nephews and nieces. Since the institution of the suit deaths and marriages had occurred, which had occasioned supplemental bills and bills of reviver, and the parties were so numerous that before the case could be brought on abatements occurred, and thus the hearing was constantly being postponed. The MASTER of the Row—l suppose it cannot be called a " short cause." Mr. KINDERSLEY was afraid it could not be fairly represented as a short cause, and therefore he had made this application upon the general circumstances. The MASTER of the ROLLS thought he must accede to the present application. His only objection to ad vancing causes was, that by so doing he did 'not protect the other suitors of the Court, who were necessarily subjected to delay in consequence. MINISTER OF WAR. " On the 26th of October the Count d'Espagne was dismissed by the junta, together with the Members Orten, Ferrer, and Sampons. It is believed that they have en tered France through the department de l'Arriege. Se garra has assumed the command, and liberated the civilians who were imprisoned at Berga." In the same Journal we find the rumour of the Bordelais about the new negociations for the recog nition of the Queen of SPAIN by the Northern Powers, flatly contradicted. We ourselves pro nounced them a fabrication on Saturday. A letter from the Levant, the date of which is not given, states that the Belle Poule frigate, commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, ran aground in doubling the Castle of the Dardanelles• We trust this report is unfounded. It is stated in a letter from Brest, dated the 4th instant, that the Aubre corvette is in the road ready to sail for New Zealand to protect the French whalers, and to oppose the realization of the pro jects of the English nation. She is to carry out a French Consul to the Bay of Islands. The other articles in the French. Journals are not important. The following letter copied from the columns of the Siecle contains the latest and most authentic intelligence from the East : " SEVEN LEAGUES FROM THE DARDANELLES, OCT. 22. The two Ambassadors (Admiral Roussin and M. Pontois) have just passed before the squadron. Each visited Ad miral Lalandc. " Admiral Roussin mentioned that a sort of rupture had occurred between the English and French diplomatists in Constantinople in consequence of overtures made by Eng land to Russia, in reply, perhaps, to those which the lat ter had forwarded through the medium of her Extraordi nary Ambassador, M. liulow. On the other hand, M. Pontois has assured us that we and the English are on the best possible terms. " When he took his departure. a salute of 15 guns was fired by the Admiral's ship " The British squadron is to leave to-morrow, the 23d, for Malta. We shall quit our anchorage at Tenedos on the 4th of November, and proceed to Smyrna. Two or three vessel 3 will, perhaps, repair to Athens. " P. S. OCT. 23.—The British squadron has just left for Ourlac,where it is to renew its provisions and water ; tnd thence probably sail for Malta." Accounts from Trieste, dated October 22, state posi tively, on the authority of letters from Alexandria, that " Mehemet Ali, at the request of France, and to show his deference for that Power, had renounced his rancorous feeling towards Kosrew Pacha, to whom he had actually written to propose a reconciliation. It only remained to be seen if the courteous Pacha would show himself simi larly disposed to yield on points of more momentous im portance."

SlR,—Observing in The Sun of this evening a letter relative to the " Vivid Hull steamer," signed " Stephen Lee, Captain of the Vivid," may I beg to ask how it is that this gentleman has gained the rank of Captain, which I have always understood could only be conferred by the Crown. It reminds me of the liberality with which the late Lord Mayor has given this title to every gentleman commanding a collier, who had the misfor tune to be brought before him for any offence. If the Lord Mayor had inspected the ship papers of these gentlemen, or if Mr. Stephen Lee had only referred to the Custom House documents (official papers) in his possession, they would have found that men in command of merchant vessels, of all descriptions, are but Masters. Perhaps you will have the kindness to favour these few lines with a space in your valuable paper, and by so doing oblige an old friend. I remain, Sir, your very humble servant, Nov. 9. AMICUS. STURGES V. CHAMPNEYS.—We are requested by Sir Thomas Champneys to contradict a statement which appeared in the judgment given by the Lord Chancellor in this case, on Thursday, to the effect that the property of Lady Champneys had been squandered a way by him. He declares the statement is totally without foundation, and that he never spent a shilling of the estate alluded to. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN v. THE CORPORATION OF SWANSEA. In this case a :rule had been obtained, calling upon the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Swansea to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue directed to them, and commanding them to execute a bond or obligation, under the common seal of the borough, conditioned for the payment of the sum of 9731. to J. Davis, as compensation for having been removed from the office of treasurer, collector, and com mon attorney to the Corporation of said borough. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now appeared to show cause against the rule, which he said had been applied for under very peculiar circumstances, for no adjudica tion had been made in his favour by the Town-Conned, nor had any recompense been awarded by the Lords of the Treasury. The applicant proceeded upon the ground that he had made a claim, and that within six months of making it no adjudication had been made by the Town• Council, and therefore the claim he made must be supposed to be admitted. That he afterwards applied to the Lords of the Treasury, who said they had no jurisdiction ; and the Lords of the Treasury having entertained his appeal, that he was now entitled to apply for a mandamus to compel the execution of a bond for the amount claimed by him. The answer made by the Corporation to the demand was, first, that if the office held by Mr. Davis was one which entitled him to compensation (which they denied), he held it jointly with another person ( Mr. Thomas) who did not join with him in the application for compensation, and therefore they were unable to make a valuation of the office, so that compensation might be awarded to them jointly. Another objection was that Mr. Davis had not complied with the condi tion precedent required by the Statute, which provided that the person making the claim should, under his hand, furnish a statement, setting forth the amount re ceived by him or his predecessors in every year during a period of five years next before the passing of the Act. Now the Act had received the Royal Assent on the 9th of September, 1835, and the statement sent in by Mr. Davis was for five years prior to the 31st of December, 1834, which clearly was not five years immediately before the passing of the Act. Another objection urged was, that Mr. Davis was not appointed to the office by the Corporation. It ap peared that the Dukes of Beaufort were Lords of the borough of Swansea, and that from time immemorial they exercised the right of appointing the corporate officers of the borough, and that Mr. Davis was so ap pointed by the then Lord of the Borough. There was also the affidavit of Mr. Thomas, who held the office jointly with Mr. Davis, and who claimed to be entitled to half the emoluments. He (the Attorney-General) submitted, under those circumstances, that Mr. Davis had not made out a case which entitled him to the rule prayed fqr. The case was similar to that of the Sheriff of Middlesex, an office which was held jointly by the two Sheriffs of London ; and it was clear that under such circumstances one party could not put in a claim for compensation without being joined by the other. There would be no hardship or injustice in dismissing the pre sent application, inasmuch as the party was not barred from applying in the legitimate form thereafter ; and if his claim was well founded, there was no doubt it would be entertained by the Corporation. Mr. HENDERSON followed on the same side. Sir W. FOLLETT was about to reply in support of the rule, when The COURT said they did not think it necessary to hear him, because they saw nothing in the case which took it out of the proviso in the Act, that where a claim was made, if the Town Council did not determine the claim within six calendar months, then the claim must be considered as admitted. It was alleged, and not denied on the other side, that the claim had been duly made, and within six calendar months that no de termination had been come to, and therefore it must be taken as prima facie evidence that the claim was ad mitted. Certain grounds were alleged as taking it out of the proviso—these might be good grounds for reject ing the claim, but they appeared to the Court insuffi cient to take it out of the proviso, the words of which was extremely plain and distinct ; the rule, therefore, must be made absolute. BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) STOCKDALE V. HANSARD-PRIVILEGES OF PARLIAMENT, At the slain.. of the Court this morning, Mr. KEN . NICD Y resumed ° his arguments in this important case, trusting that if his Lordship should deem it necessary to take time to consider the question, that he would in the mean time grant a stay/of proceedings. When the . Court rose on Saturday, he was endeavouring to bring • before the attention of his Lordship some of the prece• dents in which the Court had exercised an equitable jurisdiction, and the last case to which he alluded was that of setting aside regular judgments. In support of this point of his argument he referred to the cases of Delafield v. Tanner, 5 Taunton, and Evans v Gill, 1 Bosanquet and Pulleyn 52. The next class of cases to which he referred was that of new trials, citing the case of llodson v. Barvis, 1 Chitty, 268. The Learned Gentleman then alluded to the interference of the Court in cases where Sheriffs were particularly interested— cases in which regular attachments had been set aside, rules to return writs had been enlarged, &c., citing Raines v. Nelson, 2 Wm., Blackstone 1181 ; Shaw v. Tun bridge, p. 1064, same vol. ; M'George v. Birch, 4 Taunton, 585 ; the King v. 3:3ridges, 7 Taunton, 294 ; Ledbury v. smith, 1 Chitty, 294 ; Bevan v. Dawson, 6 Bingham 566 ; Hurston v. Thurston, 1 Taunton, 120, the! Queen v. the Sheriff of Middlesex, 1 Dow hug 454. The Learned Gentleman then went on to say that the only difficulty which he now felt was as to the time during which the proceedings ought to be stayed. His Lord ship, if disposed to grant the application, would probably stay the proceedings until next tern), or until Parlia ment should assemble. He was aware that this would be an unprecedented rule, but the case also was unpre cedented. There was good reason to suppose that in this case the process of the Court had been abused, for he held in his hand a supplemental affidavit, filed only this morning, stating that notice of the action was not given until the 26th August, and it was not until after Parliament was prorogued that it was ascertained that this was a third action for the same libel. The plaintiff had watched his opportunity, and unnecessarily brought the Sheriff into this predicament, with no legitimate ob ject. He ought to have devised means to try the action without putting other persons into jeopardy, for if the Sheriff should be committed to the Tower, it would be no consolation to him that Mr. Stockdale should be committed also. Suppose Mr. Stockdale to obtain a verdict, he might then levy the damages, pocket the money, go off to America, and leave his Lordship and all others who had any thing to do with the matter, completely in the lurch. (Laughter.) There ,he might remain smiling at the storm which was bursting over this country, for the House of Commons would have then met, reso lutions would then have been entered into, and the At , torney -General would call down the vengeance of the House on the heads of the parties ; and the Solicitor- General, if he should be appointed by that time— (Laughter)—would:follow him in that course. But Mr. Stockdale would be safe. Would his Lordship persist in enforcing the execution of this writ, and not interpose the equitable jurisdiction of the Court on behalf of those who had been guilty of no misconduct. The case pre sented nothing but a seri es o f diffi c ulties. Th e re was one course of proceeding which he would suggest, and that was, that this Court might execute the writ of in quiry itself, and not put it on the Sheriff ; and this was a case in which it ought to be done. In support of this opinion the Learned Gentleman cited the case of Hewitt v. Mantell, 2 Wilson, 372. If the Sheriff should be called on to carry the writ into execution, the most se rious results might follow, in proof of which he cited the comments of Lord Coke, in the second Institute, 45, c, on the duty of Steriffs. But by granting t.'e time for which he now asked, the matter might be settled by a conference between the two Houses, and all the diffi culties which were now so apparent might be avoided. But what was to be done in the . mean time. Wh o were th e p er sons who had declared th a t t h e C ourt h a d . usurped its privi leges ? The representatives of the realm, who were now in direct collision with the Courts of Law. They were the tribunal who had on so many occasions exer cised their:power of committal, and had even extended it to the Judges of the land, for alleged contempt. The House had now taken a position from which it could not recede, and no one could tell what they would not do in the assertion of their rights. It, was a fear ful crisis, which might — endanger the tranquillity of the metropolis, the authority of the Courts of Justice, and even the Majesty o f the. Crown. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALR-4 think in this case there is not sufficient ground for the Court to interfere, and you must have no rule. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) THE NEW JUDGE. This morning an unwonted excitement prevailed in the usually particularly quiet and solemn Common Pleas, and a great crowd of persons rushed into the Court, anxious to witness the ancient and singular ceremony of admitting a Sergeant, it being imperatively necessary that a Judge should have attained the degree of the coil. Immediately upon the Judges taking their seats Sir Robert Rolfe, the late Solicitor-General, appeared at the bar, and the Sergeants and the other members of of the bar remained, standing, while the following forms were gone through :—The Master gave a paper to Sir Robert, and another to Sergeant Wilde ; Sir Robert proceeded to read some. exceedingly inexplicable (at least to unenlighted ears) rigmarole, about a cer tain Henry Stocks, who had been defrauded of a piece of land, value " half a mark," by some other person—" whose name we were unable to catch" (as the reporters say in the House of Commons) and the said Henry Stocks claiming the judgment of the Court to reinstate him in this valuable estate. Then Sergeant Wilde from his paper read some thing we did not hear, and Sergeant Spankie said something we did not understand ; the upshot, how ever, of the whole was, that the Lord Chief Justice addressed Sir Robert as " Brother Rolfe"—(front which it was clear that Sir Robert was a Sergeant)— and asked him if be would move anything ? to which Brother Rolfe responded by a respectfully negative bow, and forthwith proceeded to " back out," after shaking hands with as many Sergeants as he could get at, and with as many stuff gown pinions as could get at him. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, Sir R. M. Rolfe, the late Solicitor-General, was sworn in and took his seat as one of the Barons of the Court, in ti,e room of Mr. Baron Mule, whose services have betn transferred to the Court of Common Pleas. SEED MARKET. Nothing done of any moment in any description of seed ; prices of all kinds the same as they were last Monday, and the arrivals large TALLOW MARKET. The market quiet, and price of P. Y.

The sales have been 3,000 bags to the trade at yester day's prices. Various opinions exist among the mercantile commu nity in respect to the statement of the affairs of the United States' Bank, which made its appearance on last Saturday, in the various Evening Journals. On viewing it, it has a very bright appearance, exhibiting a surplus of 38,871,724 dollars, and the amount of specie at the the time of its suspension, in its coffers, was only 1,045,273 dollars ; its liabilities to the public are 33,306,520 dollars ; to pay which it has 72,178,244 dollars, amongst which are 35,000,000 dollars in bills, and 17,000,000 dollars in stocks. On the face of the above statement the Bank appears solvent, and can pay twenty shillings in the pound to all its creditors, pro vided the bills held by the Bank are duly honoured, and the Stocks maintain their prices, for the result of which we must wait some time to come. We understand that another statement has been published this morning by the agent of the United States Bank, giving a more detailed account than the previous one, but the adding up of the items amount to the same sums as already published. The accounts received by the Lisbon mail this morn ing are much of the same stamp as the previous ones, nothing in them to console the British bondholders, nor is there the least prospect of their receiving any of their dividends. It also appears th;.t the financial scheme of Baron d• Lagos has been given up, and laid aside. A Portuguese Paper has published a statement that 'the Government applied to France for her intervention in the dispute with England in regard to the slave trade, and that Louis Philippe's answer was, that he could only act as mediator if required by both parties.

Rolla Rouse, H enry Ni chols, Hamil ton Gorges, and Patrick Robert Welch, Esqrs., have this day been called to the degree of Barristers-at.law by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple. MATCHETT V. PARSES. This was an action for work and labour done, and goods sold and delivered, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the late Warwick Assizes, when a verdict was found for the defendant. Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, and for a new trial. He said the action was, to appearance, a very simple one, but from the course which the cause took at the trial, it was a very singular one. The defendant, it appeared, was owner of piece of land which he had let out upon build ing leases, and part of it had been so let to a person named Turner. The action was brought for 451., being the amount of a quantity of iron palisadinz. For the plaintiff the delivery of the goods was proved, as also frequent promises to pay, but unfortunately the plaintiff had had for several years a man named Broad way in his employment, and he was put up to prove the contract with the defendant. However, on his cross-examination it turned out that he had been tran sported, and had suffered the punishment. Of course such an admission had a very great effect upon the Jury. The plaintiff deposed that he was totally unaware of the fact until the night before the trial, otherwise he could have proved the same fact by other and unimpeachable tes timony. For the defendant Turner was put in the box, and he unhesitatingly swore that the work was done for him, and that on several occasions he had called and re quested the plaintiff to send in his bill and it would be settled. This, coupled with what had transpired respect ing-, the character of Broadway, had a very prejudicial effect upon the plaintiff's case. In his cross-examination Turner swore that he had sold some of the houses, and was enabled to pay 20s. in the pound, and have a re sidue of from 5001. to 6001. His affidavits now showed that at the very moment Turner owed the plaintiff SOL, for which he was sued and went to gaol, from which he was discharged under the Insolvent Act, and that within a few weeks of the time he gave his evidence. But the strangest fact of all was, that in the very next cause which was tried, the very same defence was set up, and though it was a different defendant, the solicitor and the counsel were the same. The plaintiff's counsel then were satisfied with proving promises to pay, and did not put up Br oa d wa y, an d th e Jury immediately found for the plaintiff. _ _ Mr. Baron 'ALDERSON—Then the Jury found both ways. Mr. HUMFREY—They were astonished, as well they might be, to find two gentlemen in different parts of the country set up the same defence, and employ the same . legal assistance.—Rule granted. MARKS V. BENJAMIN. This was an action brought to recover penalties under the 25th George 11., chap. 36, for allowing music and dckncing in a public house without a license. It was tried before Lord Abinger at the sittings in London after last Term, when a verdict, by the direc tion of the Learned Judge, was found for the defendant. Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial on the ground of misdirection. On the part of the plaintiff it was proved that the defendant was landlord of a house called Howard's Coffee House, in St. James-place, Aldgate— that he had no license for dancing and music, and that there were frequent dances held in the house, the admission to which was ls., and to masquerades Is. 6d.—(A laugh.) It appeared almost as if his Learned Friend, Mr. Jervis, had been a frequenter of the house, for he cross-examined as to the position in which so great a man as Sir Moses Montefiori danced, for it turned out that no less a personage had danced there, at some Jewish wedding. In fact, it was entirely a Jew ish case ; plaintiff, defendant, witnesses, and . all but the Counsel, were Jews. He submitted, upon the authority of " Green v. Bouverie," 3d Carrington and Payne, 471, that it mattered not whether the defendant took the money at the door or not ; if dancing took place in the house, and money was taken at the door, he was clearly liable to the penalties under the Act, Lord ABINGER said the money taken at the door was taken by the dancing-master, who had hired the room for a ball. There was nothing to show that the land lord did more than let the room either for balls or Jewish weddings, when the parties usually danced. Rule granted. The COURT gave notice that they would proceed with the new trials of this Term on Thursday next. The special paper was then proceeded in, No case possessed any feature of public interest. (Sittings at the Guildhall, before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a common Jury.) The Court of Exchequer sat this morning in the city of London, at Nisi Pries, Mr. Baron GURNEY presiding. The• Learned BARON took his seat on the bench at about ten o'clock, and a Jury having been sworn, the Court proceeded to the hearing of several undefended cases of no interest whatever, except to the parties con cerned ; having disposed of which, the Court rose at eleven o'clock. GUILDHALL. -(THIS DAY. CHARGE OF SEDITION AGAINST TWO CHARTISTS.— Two respectably dressed young men who gave their names George Pollard and Henry Pollard, and who it appears are newsvenders, carrying on business at 17, Duke-street, Smithfield, were placed at the bar, charged with the publication of a seditious placard. The pla card in question was headed insurrection in Wales, and, after stating that the Welsh Chartists were in a state of ins urrect i on, i t proceeded to desire the men of London f avoura bl e to the Charter, to meet in Smithfield, ' on Sunday morning next. The languacTe employed was of the most inflammatory description. It purported r to be print e d b y G . S . Waddington, Ormond being sworn,Pess.

He continued with them wail he saw an officer, when he gave them into custody. The police constable stated that the prisoners were given into custody by the last witness on a charge of sticking up improper bill s. One of the prisoners at the s tation-house had acknowledged that he had stuck up the bill, which he stated had been given him by a per son with whom he was unacquainted, but who requested him to stick it up. The father of the prisoner is a newsvender residing in Duke -street, and witness asked t h em is e pri es ? soner wh y h e did not stick it up on his own On being called on for their defence, the prisoner George said —I have been deprived of my liberty ever since Saturday, and locked up in a cell with felons. Mr. Alderman MAGNar —We have nothing to ('U with i with th at now, what have you to say to the charge sticking up a seditious placard.

FROM THE POLISH FRONTIER, OCT. 24.---The re lations of the Romish Church in the great neighbourial state, with respect to the Church of Rome, gi Ve grounds for various considerations, which at this 1 11 !'" ment are very interesting. The Roman Court has I s t sued three allocutions, and two state papers ag ri 'l in i s ,„ Prussia. What had P r u ss i a d one aga inst the o n 'J See compared with Russia ? r the The Russian law mai n t a i ns w ith grea t vigne jura circa sacra, no papal bull, no circular of the Bishop can be published, without th e appro b a ti o n of th Emperor. The correspondence of the Bishops w it ! the Pope must pass through the h an d s o f the Gever:t ment. No allocution has yet b een d e li vere d aga. l % these laws. Nay, more, it is nov e near l y a ye ar sin e " the Russian Government, by o ne d as h o f the year °Pa rated all the united Greek s i n t h e E mp i re , to till number of four millions, from the Romish Church , an from their obedience to the Holy See, and added them to the Greek Russian Church. All this is known a t ' Rome. Russia has positively refused to yield on ant of these points, and y e t th e P ope h as no t deliver ed any allocution against Russia. Whence comes it that Rome, which declared so decidedly and loudly a gainst Prussia, has not yet published a syllable of blame against Russia, which h as b een guilty or far more serious offences against the Romish Chure'n ?
