The case wholly depends on the wording of the WiH, and, however tightly that may be drawn, two of the most eminent and acute lawyers would form different opinions as to its construction, according as they received a fee from either side. Hew then can we give a decisive opinion on such a question ? Our Norwich Correspondent is suite correct in his remarks on Suicides in Westminster, but we gave the return as we got it. If 499 were substituted for 489, and 1831 and 1811 were to change places, Banks and Higgs and Cocker would agree. :Hl6ll-WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TC-RORROW. `...1tt0rning...... 13 minutes after 9 1 Evening."... 44 minutes atter 9 LONDON: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1339. - . *171,1 44 01 144 br te 'it; • : °-& -)11X+ V'-r. N a ' We cannot find space to insert Mr. GIBSON'S speech at the Mayor of Ipswich's dinner, and must content ourselves with expressing our satisfaction at seeing that the Hon. Gentleman undauntedly keeps the field. Every time he appears in public he adds to his reputation, and will not fail to secure himself the unbought support of some i independent constituency. On this occasion, he rontributed to expose the factious con duct of the Tories, and proved that his old party, after professing an attachment to liberal education, had cashiered him for voting for a system of Na tional Education which the Bishop of EXETER has admitted to be founded on a just and moderate principle. He happily ridiculed also the un easiness of certain Protestants, who, from want of confidence in their own faith, are eternally seeking to strengthen it by denouncing the faith of other me.a. These lived, he said, in a perpetual fear of Popery, as if the smallest breath from the POPE would blow Protestantism into shivers and into atoms- He believed that if we • sliOwcd towards one another the spirit which clearly pervades the whole Gospel, we should be more successful in spreading the practical influence than ( w e presume, for the close of the sentence was lost in cheers) in maligning the Catholics. Mr. GIBSON then passed on to the Canterbury orgies, and pointed out Mr. BRADSHA W'S denunciation of Catholics as " bigoted savages," as one of the mischievous consequences of the Protestants' ter ror. They were led by it to protest against Chris tianity altogether ; and, in fact, their apprehensions I threw teem into practical infidelity. Mr. GiusoN was also very happy in exposing the disloyal conduct of the Tories towards the QUEEN, and their factious malignity, or stupid ignorance, in confounding her conduct in carrying the Catholic Emancipation Act into execution, with that of JAMES THE SECOND'S, in appoint ing Catholics to office in spite of the law :- 1 ' The first charge \ against James (said Mr. Gibson) was this—that b e h a d dispensed with and suspended the laws of the realm without the consent of Parliament.—( Cheer iiing.) Now, I ask you, has Queen Victoria done that ? Has she, in permitting the Roman Catholics, in permitting Dissenters, in permitting men who differ from the Esta blisit."d Church to partake in civil rights — bas she, I ask suspemied or dispensed with the laws of the realm 7 Has she not raiher acted in the spirit of those laws, and . carri t ed ? out the printLiples which were intended h d ei en h actm d e m n is_ --( Cheers.) And I say, if she had olie y t t sion of a man to civil power because he was t o o t' a t different religion religion to that of the Established Church, she would have b ee n, in fact, suspending and d e i i spensng with the laws of the realm without the consent Parliament.—(Cheers.. ) And it is the headvice which the Tories woald woald give her which would put in a precisely was placed.—( conti c e ond d ition to that in w hi c h James 11.

It seems, however, a common practice w i t h the Tories and the parsons, they have been so long accus tou'ed to prescribe the laws, to conclude that what they ti:ink right must be law ; and they make, with one accerd, an attack upon her MAJESTY for not suspending the laws and acting on what they think ought to be ;,Iw. They are certainly kept some what in countenance by the Legislature, in 1829, Ihaving stupidly failed to do its work completely. As Mr. GREGO proved in his exuberant zeal at the Manchester meeting, it left in the Rubric and the Homilies, which have the force of law, so many unchristian, fierce, and savage denunciations of the Roman Catholic faith, that the Protes tant zealots are almost justified in believing that :the law still regards the Catholics as irre- 1 ~ . .._. THE SUN, LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, IM. deemably beyond its pale. The laws on this point ! ought to be brought into harmony, and as long as the Legislature authorises the State-Clergy to deal out damning anathemas against their Catholic countrymen, the Legislature is chargeable with the hatred which, by this means, fanatic priests sow and nourish in the hearts of their congregations. It is not Mr. GREGG alone who entertains these senti ments ; scores of the priests, including the Bishop of EXETER, have covertly insinuated or boldly charged her MAJESTY with committing perjury, by dealing out some semblance of justice to her Catholic subjects. In a recent Number of the Cheltenham Examiner we find this passage, in a speech by Mr. SYMONDS : Well were it for Mr. Close (a clergyman) had his politi cal performances been confined to tea party oratory, and his attacks been levelled merely at the Government; un fortunately he has assailed the Sovereign herself, and in a speech delivered lately at the Assembly Rooms, used language so nearly bordering on sedition, that the Magis trates felt it their duty to send to him to know if the speech reported was correct, and the answer delivered to the Ma. gistrates was that the punctuation was wrong.—(lronical cheers.) Here is the extract as given bp the Cheltenham Chronicle :—" It was part of the covenant into which the Queen of England entered, that she would shield her people from spiritual error and mischief, and feed and suc cour them with spiritual truth. For be it remembered that she wears the crown and sits on the throne of these realms, not only in virtue of her being a Protestant, but a Church of England Protestant. If she ceases to be a com municant of the Church of England—but be would not finish that sentence in these degenerate days. [Here there was a full stop.] Suffice it to say—the Covenant is broken. The Throne is forfeited." That language is quite consistent with the doc trines of the priests. They hold that the QUEEN has made a covenant with them, and that every other duty, both of the Sovereign and the Christian, must be trampled under foot, that her MAJESTY may keep the covenant as they choose to under stand and interpret ii. The lay Tories are not much behind the spiritual ones, and Mr. BRAD SHAW, according to the Staffordshire Examiner, has found a worthy imitator in Lord INGESTRIE. The Noble Lord said, at the Stone dinner— He trusted the voice of the country would soon make itself heard in high quarters, so that the Queen might be able to discern and judge, and not allow a wicked Minis try to make her the Queen of a party instead of the Queen of a nation. (Loud cheers.) The loyalty be advocated was that founded on the principles of the glorious Revolu tion of 1688, not as a mask for treason and hypocrisy.— ( Tremendous cheers.) The Tories would indeed make her MAJESTY the QUEEN of a party, for they insist on her go verning solely for one sect. The principles of the Revolution of 1688, which the Tories pretend, at length, to have adopted, are the principles of toleration and civil liberty, while their practices are all founded on intolerance and despotism. At length, however, their disappointment, amounting almost to despair, has made them throw off the mask, and they seek to obtain their end of tyranniz ing over the people by subjecting her MAJESTY to their sway. The present calumnious and scanda lous attacks on her—the insinuations and charges of perjury—the appeals to the Homilies and the Ru bric, are all intended to subdue her by the spiritual terrors of the Church of England into being the menial and servant of the Tories. DISASTER.—Four men, named Randalt, Vosburgh, and Brown, and a Norwegian, were drowned by the swamping of a boat on Lake Michigan, on the 11th inst. About 4,000 dollars in money was lost with them. SUPPRESSING THE SLAVE TRADE.—The govern ment has ordered a naval force to the coast of Africa, to see that the laws for the suppression of the slave trade are carried into effect, so far as regards American ves sels. We presume this measure has been adopted in consequence of the remonstrances of the British Government, and the abuse of the Consulate at Ha vanna. Better late than never.—.Nenz York Paper. MONEY MARKET, OCT. 21—SIX P.M.—The stock market presented but very little change from the prices of Saturday. Sales were not large. United States Bank closed the same as on Saturday. Del. and Hud son receded 4 per cent. ; Kentucky, 4 per cent. ; Haar lem per cent. ; Utica and Schenectady per cent. There was less demand for money to-day than on Sa turday. For several days past the State Bank has been dis continuing the redemption of certain of the safety fund bills. It is frequently said, as an apology for a gross wrong—just as the unmarried lady pleaded that her child was a little one—that the sum which each la bourer would gain by the abolition of the Corn laws is so small, that it is not worth consideration. Let us try this by facts. When a labourer gets only 9s. a week, an addition of ls., or one-tenth, is to him of considerable importance. It is almost the difference between a full and an empty belly. Now ls. a week is 525. a year, and 1,000,000 shillings would give ls. a week throughout the year to 19,230 families. One million pounds sterling would consequently give an augmen tation of income equal to ls. per week to 384,600 persons. Now it is supposed that the agri cultural interest received at least 20,000,0001. sterling more in 1839 than in 1837, which would give, in fact, an increase of ls. per week to 7,692,000 persons. But that is a greater number than all the grown labourers of the empire, and if we say, therefore, that the 20,000,0001. gained by the landlords would have given 2s. per week to 3,846,000 labourers, we shall have an approxima tively correct idea of the advantage to the labourer which would result from the abolition of Corn-laws. 2s. a week in addition to persons living on 7s. or 9s. a week, is relief from starvation. It is a rescue from lingering disease and slow death. And though the reduction would be nothing amongst the land. owners, would not cause them to drink a glass of port wine the less, or keep one horse fewer, it would be salvation, it would be independence and happiness, to the labouring classes. The following is a list of the banks, the bills of which have been thrown out, on Saturday and to-day : Chemung Canal Bank, Bank of Whitehall, Essex County, Yates County Bank, Bank of Ithica, Commercial Bank of Buffalo, ~ Lyons, City Bank of Buffalo, " Orleans, Commercialßank of Oswego, Madison Co. Bank, Oswego Bank. Sackett's Harbour Bank, Chautauque County Bank. ___ These are bought by the brokers at five per cent. discount. The probability is that all will be discontinued, with the exception of such few as have made arrangements for taking up their own paper. The Bank Commis sioners are now here, and have sent for the Committee of the Country Banks, for the purpose of endeavouring to make an arrangement with the banks of this city, by which Safety Fund money shall be received at par in payment of their debts. Such a measure is very desir able, if it can be entered into at this time. The pernicious system of holding back the crop is the grand evil, and one to which dealers and farmers adhere with a tenacity which amounts almost to a mania. The process of a reduction in prices is going forward with an irresistible force, and cannot be prevented. The crops are immense, far greater than can be consumed in this country, and can find a market abroad only at low prices ; holding it back from the market, therefore, has no other effect than to disorder the currency. The following is a table of the leading items of such of the banks as have been refused by the State Bank at their last return, as compared with the same items, at the period of suspension, May, 1837 :- LOANS.

In idle and wanton luxury. They have such superfluous riches that they must squander them on tournaments or dissipate them in drunken, ruinous brawls. They are at a loss how to get rid of theit wealth and their time, and invent all kinds of strange and even absurd pursuits that they may dissipate the treasure they wring from the poor. To them hundreds and thousands of pounds are nothing, and they can form no conception of the immense advantages, which adding 2s. a week to the wages of the labourer, by ceasing to tax his bread, would confer on him. 4,085,000 4,216,986 87,167 227,028 CIRCULATION.

Supposing such an assertion to be true —sup posing that the capitalists and shop-keepers,— which is the argument,—would fleece the labourer, that surely is no justification of the landlord's doing so. On the contrary, what they condemn in others must be wrong in themselves, We, however, do not believe that the capitalists and shopkeepers would intercept this advantage on its way to the labourers. On the contrary, they are obliged to give an increased price for everything which they sell or use, and must charge not only that to the consumer, but something more as interest for the larger sum they expend. If the sum, therefore, which the landlords levy on the labourers by taxing their bread would, if remitted, allow them to receive, each man, two shillings more per week, they would be still further benefited by the reduction of the amount of capital, on which they have to pay interest, now required t o b e em ployed in supplying them. It is clear, therefore, td us that the sum now appropriated by the corn tax to the wealthy landlords would be, were that tax abolished, diffused among the working classes, and where discontent and despair now reign it would carry comfort and contentment. 1,466,302 2,096,219 224,326, 235,277 This shows a large increase of circulation, in pro portion to the increase of loans up to the commence• ment of the present year. Since that time a great change has been wrought by the holding policy, and the operation of the new system. The object now of the commissioners to have the bills placed on a par with the city funds, will, in the present state of affairs, be a benefit to the community ; but the effect on the safety fund money will be, by making it more valuable than the red back, to drive it from circulation, and supplant it with the State security money ; in the same manner that the small bills of the neighbouring States occupied the channels of circulation subsequent to the suspension in 1837. The amount in the State Bank is now about 800,000 dollars, and although this sum is seemingly not large, yet it prevents her from affording the same accommoda tion to her dealers as is enjoyed by the customers of the other banks. She, therefore, suffers by the withdrawal of accounts more than she gains by the redemption. The other banks would by entering into the arrange ment of receiving country funds at par, greatly ame liorate the present condition of the merchants, as a re cent law allows banks to pay out such bills as they re ceive at par. Her MAJESTY'S ship Imogene, Captain B RUCE. commander, arrived yesterday at Spithead, f rom South America, bringing two million and a half of dollars in specie. She brings no news of the least importance. On arriving at Spithead, the Imogene was ordered round to Plymouth, to be paid off. The banks of this city continue an undeviating course of discounting short business paper for as great an amount as is paid in. The opinion that they would suspend, which has been entertained in certain quarters, is fast losing ground, although desperate attempts are made to force them into it. The Banks of Cincinnati have, with the exception of the Commercial Bank, suspended for thirty days, ac cording to the provision of the Ohio law, which allows that time before proceedings can be instituted against them. There is every probability that at the expira tion of that time they will again resume, more especially when they find that the New York Banks stand firm, and the New Orleans market continues to be guided by sound Banks.

If the object of the French Government were to render the Duke of ORLEANS a subject of uni versal ridicule—the laughing-stock of every militay man in Europe—it could not take a better way for the accomplishment of such a purpose than that of filling the French Journals with such pompous reports as those which occupy the Paris papers of Wednesday descriptive of the farcical marches and counter-marches of his Royal High ness in Africa. Our readers will hardly credit the fact that the Journal des Debats devotes twelve columns to the random campaigns of the Royal Heir-Apparent, including an Official Report from Marshal VALLEE of nearly four columns, full of the most fulsome praises of the youthful hero, not " of an hundred battles," but of as many marches During the first week of the present month nine teen bankruptcies occurred in Paris. The liabilities of the bankrupts amount to nearly 1,000,000 f. One of them exceeds 600,000 f., and two others 100,000 f., but the remainder, sixteen in number, are under this last sum. There were 858 failures in Paris from the Ist of January to the Ist of November, 1839, and the losses amount to between 55,000,000 f. and 60,000.000 f. The Madrid Journals received are of the 6th instant. They are barren of news of any interest. The capital continued tranquil, but the people were gloomy and dissatisfied with the conduct of the Cabinet. M. de Pontois, two days after his arrival at Constanti nople, sent off despatches to the Government. We speak of despatches addressed to the President of the Council, and not of those of a more confidential nature, which are not addressed to any Minister. The contents of the latter are not known. As for the despatches re ceived by Marshal Soult, they state in substance that Admiral Roussin, having been informed betimes of the arrival of his successor, had precipitately left Pere, and had embarked, doubtless not to have the mortification of installing M. Pontois, who takes his place. The new Ambassador and his predecessor passed each other at the distance of seven leagues from Constantihople ; and the packet boats which had them on board not salute each other. This neglect them usual civilities sufficiently shows in what light AdiniT4-Roussin looks on his recal. As for the reception he has met with at Pera, M. Pontois could not perceive that the Frank merchants, especially those cf our nation, seem ill satisfied at the removal of Admiral Roussin. A deputation of mer. chants was to pay its respects to M. Pontois, and to put him in mind how much it is the duty of a represen tative of France to conduct himself so as to afford effec tual protection to French commerce in the present critical state of affairs. The observations which the deputation will make to him will probably give him much more information than the official or secret in structions which he received on his departure from Paris. M. Pontois was scarcely installed in the hotel of the Legation, when he hastened to go and see Lord Ponsonby. He was extremely hurt at the reception given him by the British Ambassador. tie had been told that Lord Ponsonby is naturally , irritabl e , p a ssionate, and c a u s ti c , an d h e con d uc t e d I himself in such a manner as he thought best calculated to disarm the haughty Englishman. He thought, too, that Lord Ponsonby, still irritated by his disputes with Admiral Roussin, would be disposed to give a goad reception to his successor, especially as M. Plontois, when he left Paris, had no doubt but that England was perfectly agreed with respect to everything relative to the affairs of the East. He was, therefore, much sur prised at the haughty and austere manner of Lord Pon sonby, at his sallies against France, which he accused of everywhere giving its support to usurpers and rebels, and at the want of politeness to M. Pontois himself. Lord Ponsonby went beyond the bounds of decorum so far as to tell him that the business of an Ambassador in the East required a long apprenticeship, and that it would be some time before he would be able to find his way among the intrigues which diplomacy has continually contrived, and made more intricate for some years past. He could not have used other language to a mere novice. Such is the substance of the melancholy accounts which Mr. Pontois has given. This commencement is not calculated to encourage him to present himself at the Russian Legation, where, in the absence of good will and cordiality, be will at least find the manners of good company, and not those of a Lord of Northumberland, insolent to everybody, and a great fox hunter. It is even doubtful whether M. Pontois will not feel some apprehension when he goes to the Austrian Legation, where, notwithstanding very satisfactory official inter course, there is always an appearance of extreme reserve and distrust towards the French Government which is often carried to repugnance.—La Gazette de France BOURSE.---PARIS, WEDNRSDAY, Nov. 13. k irst Highest Lowest Price Pi = lee.

The suspension spreads like wild-fire to the soutl and west. We are in hopes the New Orleans bank will successfully resist the onset. Here and there a bank in the intermediate country continues to pay specie for its bills. The Bank of Charlestown and South Carolina, and the State Bank at Charleston, redeem their bills it. specie, but do not pay specie for deposits. Several other Southern banks take the same course ; they are in ge- neral banks which have few bills out. It is estimated that since the beginning of the present month property has been destroyed by fire in the United States to tilt amount of four millions of dollers. The United States Bank has declared a dividend of 4 per cent. for the last six months, payable on the stl, of November. The Mexican packet is expected daily with a freight of 1,100,000 dollars. The greater part of the ahoy( arrival of specie is for our merchants, and will soon fin, its way into the coffers of the Bank of England. The Quebec papers report the arrival of Mr. P. Thomson.

NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 12.—Our last report of Cot ton noticed an animated demand, which has been conti• nued during the past week, although the weather was unfavourable to the receipt and shipment of it. Hold ers have endeavoured to obtain an advance on the cur rent rates of last week, but without success. The de mand has been confined to the finer grades, and has been principally for France. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 14.--Today we have had a very brisk demand for Cotton, and the sales, in which are included 4,000 American on specu lation, amount to 9,000 bales. Prices are id. to id. per lb. higher for American descriptions. THE FUNDS. Our arrivals this morning are of some importanck`in particular that of the Imogene frigate with a good store of dollars on board, to the amoont of 2400,000 ; and wo soon have another from Mexico, with 1,110,000. These added to the former arrivals of specie, will replenish the coffers of the Bank of England, and restore it again to greater confidence ; and all that has been advanced for some time past respecting its solidity, and cash payments, will entirely vanish. It is not expected that the whole of the above arrival of specie will find its way to the Bank, but there is no doubt that the greater part of it will be housed there. The arrival from the United States to the 24th Oc tober, by the Quebec, at Portsmouth, is of a more fa vourable nature than the previous accounts.

Public attention (especially in this neighbour• hood) has been of late strongly directed to a project for draining the great estuary denominated the Wash, si tuate between the coasts of Norfolk and Lincolnshire. By this scheme it is proposed to reclaim 150,000 acres from the sea, and to effect a union into one outfal of the river Ouse, Nene, Welland, and Witham. This will, it is anticipated, materially augment the depth of water at Lynn, Boston, and Spalding ; whilst, by the increased facilities for the discharge of the upland waters, a great improvement in the drainage of the Bedford Level, Marshland; and other Fen districts, will be effected.—Canibridge Advertiser.

ROLLS' COURT-(THIS _. war.. - This case was opened yesterday by Mr. PEMBER TOE, who, with Messrs. KINDERSLEY and KEN VON PARKER, appeared for the plaintiff. From the Learned Counsel's statement it appeared that the bill was filed by the plaintiff, Joseph Culling worth, against Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, end Co., the bankers, and Lord Howden ; and the object of it was to set aside a security which Messrs. Lloyds had obtained from Mr. Cullingworth, and to charge them with the value of the estate included in that security, they having sold it to Lord Howden, as the plaintiff contended, at a very great undervalue. Lord Howden had since died, but the plaintiff being satisfied with the responsibility of Messrs. Lloyds, had not brought his Lordship's re presentatives before the Court. The plaintiff, in the year 1830, carried on business as a calico printer at Manchester, in partnership with a Michael Addy. They employed the Messrs. Lloyds, at Manchester, as their bankers, and to secure the amount of their account, Mr. Cullingworth deposited with Messrs. Lloyds the title (feeds of an estate in Durham, belonging to himself, called the West Moor-house Estate, which consisted of a farm-house with 65 acres of land, and under which there were coal mines of great value. The partnership not being attended with success, Messrs. Cullingworth and Addy, in the course of the year 1830, determined to wind up their affairs, and for that purpose they de ployed a Mr. Edmund Grundy, to whom they executed a general power of attorney, dated December 31 in that year, for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the partnership, realising the assets, selling the goods, and making such purchases as might be necessary for com pleting the orders on hand. Messrs. Lloyd and Co. then thought it desirable that their deposit should be converted into a legal mcrtgage, and accordingly, deeds of lease and release, dated:the 10th and 11th of March, 1831, were executed between Cullingworth, of the first part, the plaintiff, and Addy, as copartners, of the second part, and Lloyd and Co., of the third part ; and after reciting that there was a balance of 2,024/. 15s. 2d. due from the partnership to Messrs. Lloyds, it stipulated that that sum was to be paid on the 11th of September following, but there was a pro viso for redemption on payment of the debt with inte rest at 5 per cent. ; and then there was a proviso that if default should he made by Addy and the plaintiff in the payment of that sum, it should be lawful for Messrs. Lloyds, after the default, to sell or dispose of the premises with or without the concurrence of the plaintiff, either by public auction or private contract as they should think fit. The plain tiff represented that at the time that transac tion took place he was in ill health, and incompetent to understand what he was about, and that he was taken in a hackney coach in a state of great debility to execute the deed ; but Mr. Pemberton stated that in asmuch as the point on which the whole case turned was totally independent of any grounds of that sort, he did not mean to trouble the Court with going into the evidence, which was very voluminous, re lative to the state of health of the plaintiff at the time. In the latter end of the year 1831, and after that deed was executed, Mr. Grundy found the property of the partnership would not be sufficient to pay the creditors in full, and he therefore proposed an arrangement, by which 10s. in the pound was to be paid to the creditors in discharge of their debts. Accordingly on the 26th of October, 1831, a deed was prepared and executed, containing a general release of the debts and a 4-eneral release of all securities which the cre ditors might have from the partners, or either of the partners, for the payment of those debts, but reserving to the creditors the right of retaining any securities which they might have from other persons. On the 13th December, 1831, Messrs. Lloyds and Co. received 1,0121., being 10s. in the pound, and thereby, as the )laintiff contended, by the very terms of the deed dis charged the security which they had on his estate. Having received that dividend, Messrs. Lloyd and Co. proceeded in the February following to put up the pro perty to sale. On the 3d of February, 1832, an idvertisement, bearing date the Ist February, appeared in the Durham newspapers, stating that this property would be put up for sale, and reference was directed to he made to Messrs. Duckworth, Denison, and Hum phries, the defendants' solicitors ; but on the said Ist February the following letter was sent to Mr. Col lingworth, by Messrs. Duckworth and Denison : " Sir,—We beg to inform you that, in pursuance of the .trustsof the conveyance to them of the West Moor-house farm, in the county of Durham, our clients, Messrs. Jones Lloyd and Co. have this day contracted to sell the estate to Lord Howden for 8001., being the full amount of Mr. Robert Grundy's valuation. You will be grati fied to hear that Mr. Lloyd is well satisfied with having effected this sale." In March, 1832, the estate was con veyed by Messrs. Lloydand Co. to Lord Howden (whose lands, according to the advertisement, bounded it on the North and West) for 800/. Mr. Cullingworth refused to be a party to the sale. The estate thus sold for 800/. was computed by some witnesses to be worth 20,000/. The land, independent of the coal mines, was worth about 1,5001. The bill, therefore, prayed that this transaction might be set aside ; or, if the Court should be of opinion it could not be set aside, that the defend- Ants might be charged with the full value of the estate. Mr. PEMBERTON contended, first, that the transaac tion was invalid because the acceptance of the composi tion of 10s. in the pound, discharged the security in equity, and having received the composition and exe cuted that deed, by which all the creditors were put on an &ILI footing the defendants had no right to sell ; and, secondly, that even if the the power of sale re• mained, it made them trustees that they were bound to execute that trust like all other trustees, with a due re . and to the interests of their cestuique trusts ; and that therefore they must be answerable for their imprudence. Mr. RICHARDS, who appeared for the defendants, wished to know whether Mr. Pemberton intended to abandon that portion of the bill which related to the fraudulent conduct of Messrs. Lloyd and Co. Two. thirds of the bill consisted in imputing a gross fraud to the defendants? Mr. PEMBERTON replied that he did not intend to abandon any thing. There certainly was an allegation made in the bill, and, in his opinion, sustained, but which, as he had stated, he did not hink necessary to trouble the Court with, as the case might be decided on two other points. He therefore ,rep seci to enter the whole of the evidence as read, tru.l conesel for the defendants could comment on any part of it they chose, but at present he thought it was ffily necessary to read those portions of the evidence chich bore on the two points he had stated to the Court. Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Kenyon Parker having been heard on the same side, Mr. RICHARDS then proceeded to address the Court, an bellall of the defendants Jones, Lloyd, and Co , and commented very strongly on the course which the plain tiff had pursued, in having introduced charges of fraud an the record against a respectable firm, and attempted ;,o support those charges by evidence which they were .ishamed to read to the Court. Whatever view, there fore, the Court might take upon the other points of the case, he apprehended, with respect to so much of the bill as related to the charge of fraud, it most be dismissed with costs. There had been no fraud on the creditors of Cullingworth and Addy, no secret arangement with, and con cealment on the part orMaessrs Lloyd ; and if they had committed any fraud, it was a fraud for the benefit of Lord Howden, and not for themselves. The evi dence in the cause showed that the property in ques tion was represented to Messrs. Lloyd as not worth 7001., and it was not yet ascertained that there was coal under the land. Lord Howden had offered to give up the property to the plaintiff on his paying him the sum he gave for it, and the expences he had incurred. But the plaintiff could, if he had thought proper, have prevented the sale being perfected, and prevented Lord Howden purchasing the property ; but instead of doing so, although he knew on the Ist February 1832 that the defendants were about to sell the property, he had never interfered to prevent the contract being carried into effect, nor had he made any complaint of that which he now alleged to be a gross fraud. Was it therefore tolbe endured, that after the time that had elapsed, the plaintiff should be at liberty to unravel those transactions which were com pleted and perfected with his knowledge in June 1832, and seek to charge the defendants with the enormous sum of 20,0001. At the time Lord Howden pur chased the property there was a tenant in posses sion of it, at a rent of 251. per annum, and who actually quitted it because his Lordship would not reduce the rent. The Learned Counsel, in conclusion, submitted that the case of the plaintiff had entirely failed, and that the bill must be dismissed with costs.

T ag h r is ee l m va e s nt fora an act i6r house, N da o . damages, rent of 3.50 guineas per annum, an d r e fusal to pay the I, e s for York-place,not completing a t the an deposit thereon. It was tried before Lord Abinger, when a verdict was found fur the defendant. Mr. THESIGER early in the term applied for and obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, cause against which was now shown by Mr. Kelly. The LORD CHIEF BARON read over his notes of the trial, from which it appeared that the defendant had entered into an agreement with a Mr. Clark, the agent of the plaintiff for th e h ouse i n ques tion, and wile in treaty respecting it, defendant asked whether there was anv objection to the house, and Mr. Clark answered "'No." Soon after the completion of the agreement Sir Frederick found out that the back windows overlooked the house, No. 17 9 in Davies -street, which was next door (the house in question being a corner one), and that it was noto riously a house of ill-fame. He then refused to com plete the agreement. At the trial it was p rov ed that the plaintiff wa s p er f ect l y aware o f the fact, and bad been concerting measures with the 'oeighbouring pro prietors to abate th e nu i sance , but 'unsuccessfully- The rule was moved on the ground that the answer of Mr. Clark applied only to objections within the house, suc h as drains, &c., any that any answer respecting other matters made by him did not bind his princip 1. Mr. KELLY and Mr. CHANNELL DOW showed cau se against the rule, and contended that the principal was clearly bound by the answer of his agent, Mr. Cla rk ' as it was clearly within the scope of his authority; he could not act as a house agent, —no gentleman would ever take a house from an agent—if he was not prepared to answer all q u e s ti ons respect i ng i t, an d that his e answers were binding u p on hi s pr i nc i pa l . I n this case it was clearly p rove d t h at the principal was w ell acquainted with the nuisance—he must have kno wn that Sir Frederick Fowke could not, morally inhabit the ho use w i t h hi s f am i ly.

S AKSPEARE.—The Shakspeare department of our libraries is about to be enriched with an addl. tion which has long been a desideratnm—and no wonder , considering the erudition, industry, and research, whic h such a work requires. The historical plays of our great bard are those to which an interest peculiarly English, attaches ; and yet they have never been carefully iglu critically examined, in connection with the historical facts and characters which they illustrate in so extraor•- dinary a manner. As it is well known that the Right% Hon. T. P. Courtenay, the writer of the forthcoming work, entitled, " Commentaries on the Historical Plays of Shakspeare," is qualified to treat this highly curious and fertile topic with as much erudition as popular in terest, it can scarcely be doubted that the book will command a place in every library. PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS.—On Thursday a very numerous meeting of the Directors and Guardians of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras, was held at the workhouse in the King's-road, for the purpose of 'in quiring into the circumstances connected with the case of a woman named Frances Smith, who it hat) been alleged by Inspector Aggs of the S division of police , before Mr. Codd, the Magistrate, at Mr , r oabone 'Police-office, had been refused admission int 0 the St; Pancras workhouse in the middle of the n ig ht, though her case was one of the most urgent n e cess ity. T t h e following resolution was adopted oat the regula tions of that Board relative to the admission of poor persons at all hours, when the Oversee'rs are not in at tendance, be printed and hung up in the porter ' s lodge and other places, for the guid ance f the aro chial ea' cers. and that in future the - porter of the wor khouse should on all occasions persor, a lly exa mine all per sons presented for admission, aral when the slightest doubt o p existed, to report to the master, who should immediately, admit all eases of destitution at any hour, night or day.

Mr' Baker said, a lth oug h there was strong proof of culpable neglect on the part of the mother, yet, her ignorance being considered, be did not think a Jury could return a verdict of manslaughter.

A young man of the name of M‘Tagg art, twent y -t wo years of age, the third engineer, asked leave to go on shore, as his friends and relations r esided at Woolwich.
