OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS. in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 10/., 20/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most ado.;sable, for any Person having to rumit Money to Ham burgh, to forw'a'rd the amount in One N ote ; or having to receive Money from HatOburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of ,:ourse remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of En g land Note, ma y rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that ;nay as well be avoided, we reVest our Correspondents not to overl rsok these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN' NEWSPAPER commences at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. ,lii 1 C;:•3 , \ • r7/'t; , i ~~ r ~: ~ ~'t 2. e 10 y Ql', LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1836. Madrid Papers to the Bth inst. inclusive have been received. The Gazette of the 7th contains a despatch ' from General RODIL, from his Head Quarters at Joraicejo, dated the 4th inst. The Commander-in- Chief states, that the rebel GOMEZ, finding that he could not pass the Tagus in the face of his valiant division, retraced his steps, and entered Truxillo, where he remained some days, and before quitting it, levied fifteen thousand rations of meat, wine, and bread, be sides provender for his horses. Having rested his troops, and disencumbered himself of some hundreds of prisoners taken at Almarez, he marched in the direc tion of Merida, most probably intending to repass the Guadiana at that point. RODIL added, that he had just then heard from ALA IX, of whose movements he had known nothing for fourteen days previously, and that the pursuit of GOMEZ might then be commenced, but that ALAN could not move without money and shoes for his troops ! He was himself, however, about to occupy Truxillo, and he pledged himself not to relax in his efforts to destroy the rebels. This dispatch must do RODIL's business with the Cortes. The members of that body cannot be such dolts as to require a further proof of his total incapa city to command the QUEEN'S army. With his whole division so placed as to prevent the passage of the Tagus by GoMEz, he suffered the rebels to sack Al marez, a town on its very banks, and absolutely within sight of his troops. GOMEZ then wheeled round and entered Truxillo, a large and strongly fortified town, about midway between the Tagus and the Guadiana. RODIL valiantly pursued him to Jaraicejo, about five miles from Truxillo, and there remained till GoMEz had thought proper to resume his march in the direc tion of Merida. From five miles between RODIL and the enemy the distance has now increased t• thirty, and yet GoMEz had time enough to pillage towns, and carry off all the valuable booty he found in them. From Merida, GoMEz may follow the course of the Guadiana to Badajos, on the Portuguese frontier ; or he may proceed direct to Ahnendralejo, Villafranca de los Barras, Llerena, Guadalcanal, Constantia, and keeping the right bank of the Guadalquiver, re-enter Cordova. With such commanders as RODIL and Ar.mx in his rear, GONIEZ may choose in what di rection it may be most convenient for himself to escape. While we write, accounts have been received, which state that GOMEZ has actually taken the road to Ba dajos, from whence it is not improbable that lie may march upon Seville. We have not yet learned what effect RODIL'S dis patch had upon the Councils of the Cortes and the Government. That both himself and ALAIX will be removed from the command, is now all but certain. On the Gth the Chamber was engaged with discussions on the re-organization of the National Guards, and the establishment of Provincial Tribunals for the in fliction of summary punishments upon the rebels. The latter of these measures was warmly opposed, as being too revolutionary in its character. We ad mit that it is liable to great abuses, and that its existence is incompatible with freedom ; but the ques tion is—ought any measure to be rejected-necessary to the speedy pacification of Spain ? The general wel fare of the country requires that a summary process for the repression of crime should be instantly adopted. Better that a few instances of severity should take place, than that murder should be suffered to stalk arm in arm with treason through the land, because the ordinary tribunals are found inadequate to their punish ment. Better, too, that such instances of individually undue, but nationally necessary severity, should take place under the jurisdiction of a temporary tribunal, than by command of the ordinary magistrates. Insur rectionary tribunals will not demoralize the people, so long as the fountains of constitutional justice are kept pure and untainted by the breath of suspicion. The mighty bug-bear of the timid is the horror of the first French Revolution—horrors at which humanity must ever shudder. But every point of resemblance that c ould assimilate the Revolution in France with that now progressing in Spain is absolutely wanting. In France the people were in arms against the Throne, the old feudal Aristocracy, the clergy, and all the es tablished institutions of the country. In Spain they are the defenders of the Throne, the supporters of an established Hierarchy, the champions of a Constitu tion previously established, and now proclaimed by their THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1836. other evidence i❑ the cause as to the duration of the season, except Mr. Kemble's, as it stood upon the Judge's notes, there might have been some doubt on the matter ; but Mr. Cooper said there was no specific or definite time for its dura tion—that it was uncertain. The Jury had these two facts before. It was their peculiar province to consider of them, ;and putting them together they found that a season meant so long as a manager kept the theatre open during the year. If the manager attempted anything out of the ' regular way, and overreached himself he must take the con sequences. Mr. Baron ALDERSON agreed in the opinion of Mr. Baron Parke. It was evident the defendant had made an attempt to make a slimmer season for the purpose of con cluding certain contracts. He thought the case had been, properlyleft to the Jury, and that the verdict ought to stand. Mr. Baron GURNEY concurred. . The LORD CEHEB BARON was satisfied with the verdict, and he thought, if the case went before another Jury, the result would be the same.--Rule discharged. CONSISTORY COURT.-(THIS DAY) (Before Dr. LUSHINGTON.) TP.EVANION V. TREVANION. This was a suit promoted by the husband against the wife for a divorce, on the alleged ground of adultery. The point raised before the Court to-day was as to the admis sion of an allegative exception to the testimony of one of the witnesses who had given evidence in support of the charge. The arguments for and against the admission of the allegation were beard last Court-day, and the case stood over to allow the Judge an opportunity to consider a point of importance, as to the right of parties to take evidence upon matters not essential to the decision of the cause, in order to prove that the witness was undeserving of credit. Dr. LnsfuNGToN, in a judgment of some length and great research, expressed his decided opinion, after citing authorities, that the parts of the allegation adduced to show that the witness could not be believed,i ought not to be allowed to stand, as such a course would admit incalculable evils by delaying the course of justice, and increasing ex pences to an unbounded extent. The Learned Judge there fore directed the articles raising such collateral issues, should be expenged from the responsive allegation. HEATHCOTE V. HEATHCOTE. In this case the Court was called upon to allot perma nent alimony to Mrs. Heathectte, a sentence of divorce hav ing been pronounced in her favour against her husband, for cruelty and adultery in May last, the facts relative to which hare been fully reported. Dr. ADDAMS appeared for Mrs. Heathcote, and stated the faculties possessed by Mrs. Heathcote to be full 8,0001. per annum, arising from interest of money in the public funds. The Court would recollect that the wife had proved the charges fully, and that an attempt to fix on the lady a charge of adultery had failed, and that a large sum of money ought to be allotted to her. The COURT went over the facts, and allotted 1,600/. per annum to Mrs. Heathcote as permanent alimony. CORN AVERAGES. GENERAL AVERAGE PRICES OF BRITISH.

The Duke of Brunswick arrived at Paris on Thurs day morning. The Courrio• Francais mentions that, during his stay in London, he paid Joseph and Jerome Buonaparte a visit, which neither of those gentlemen had the politeness to return. The dinner of the Wakefield Tories to their defeated candidate, the Hon. W. S. Lascelles, is fixed for the sth of next month. The waters of the Seine have again risen very con siderably. It is well known that this river overflows its banks when it has risen 2i metres above the scale marked on the bridges. It is now 31 metres above it. Early this morning, a poor Irishman, whilst assist ing to lift a piece of timber on some premises in Oxford street, fell down, and although not appearing to be much hurt, expired in the surgery of Mr. Lows. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—This morning, at a quarter before two o'clock, as the police on duty in Sherrard-street, Golden-square, was passing , the parlour window of Mr. Lacey De Brun, No. 24, in the above street, be observed an immense light in the parlour. On more closely examin ing, he discovered the room in flames ; lie immediately sprung his rattle, and alarmed the inmates of their perilous situation, who escaped in a state of nudity over the roof into an adjoining house. The County engines were almost im mediately on the spot, followed by six others, with a strong body of the brigade men, who, by their exertions, saved part of Mr, Cores house next door. The flames raged with such fury, that in le” than an hour (though there was an immediate supply of water), the premises' furniture, &c., of Mr. De Brun were reduced to ashes. The stormy weather still continues,and, in back ward &illations, a few fields of barley and oats are yet ex posed, and here and there is one uncut. Grain still keeps rising with rapidity in the great markets, but we suspect bas now nearly reached its highest quotation. We believe hay has never been known since the war to be so high as at pre sent. Potatoes are very dear, though in Whitehaven the price has rather been checked by the importation of several g o op Ipqds from Ireland and the Isle of M an, whi ch sold readily at 4 1 , cpuTaratAvely moderate price of 4d. the stone. —Whitchaven geralci f ' SOVEREIGN ; and what is of the utmost importance, they neither have, nor profess to have, any cause of quarrel with the Aristocracy. They know no enemies hut those who have declared, or may declare themselves the enemies of their SovEREIGN, and the Constitution which she has established. Whatever may be resolved upon, we trust that steps may be taken to purge the army of the traitors now at the head of it. This is a harsh expression to use, but their recent conduct will justify it—even were we without other arguments to defend the propriety of its application. • • By the Iberia steamer, which sailed from Lisbon on :he 10th inst., we have been put in possession of letters and papers from the Portuguese capital till that date. Tranquillity was then restored. Among the number of passengers on board the Iberia, were the Dukes of PALMELLA and TERCEIRA, the Mar quis of SALDANIIA, and Senor JOSE DA SILVA CARVALHO, on their way as exiles to France. Thus the triumph of the Constitutionalists is proved to be complete. We trust the example which the Portuguese patriots have thus set the people of Spain, will not be lost upon the Cortes. The peo ple of Portugal have shown to the world that they deserve their Constitution by defending it alike from foreign and domestic traitors. Lct the Spaniards only prove themselves equally resolute, and they may cal culate on a victory as decisive, and a glory which shal shed a lustre upon Spain. We are rather apprehensive that the next arrivals from Bilboa will announce the capture of that city by the Carlists. An extraordinary courier from Paris arrived in London this day with intelligence, that on the 10th inst. Bilboa was closely besieged by the hoops under EGUIA. A letter, addressed by the Governor, SAN MIGUEL, to ESPARTERO, was intercepted by EGUIA, which stated, that unless the town was speedily succoured—at the latest within two days—he would be obliged to capitulate. At this juncture VI LL AREA L was in sight of ESPAR TERO, who declined giving the Carlist General battle, while EG IN A was carrying on the siege with redoubled vigour. By accounts received from Bayonne to the 12th inst. we learn that the Carlists have cut off all communication with Bilboa by the river, and that both banks down to Portugalette arc so guarded as to hinder all vessels from approaching the town. If this account be cor rect, the last hope of the garrison is the chance that ESPARTERO may give VILLAREAL battle with one division of his troops, and at the same time try to throw the other into the town. Were the besieged to make a sally, so as to engage EGLTIA's force before the walls, this would not be difficult. But we have too little confidence in the military genius of the QUEEN'S Generals to expect from them the accomplishment of a manccuvre requiring equal promptitude, bravery, and skill. We rather dread that EsPA RTERO will keep within sight of VILLAREAL till Bilboa is taken, when most probably he will sit down and pen a despatch for the purpose of proving to the world that had the garrison only held out twelve hours longer he would have sent all the Carlists in the pro vince, confined in bird-cages, prisoners to Madrid. The whole of the Paris papers of Tuesday have been received. The following appears in the official columns of the 2,ioniteur : " The Minister of the Interior has informed the Prefect of the Lower shine that the note transmitted to the French Government by that of Switzerland having con tained the desired satisfaction, no reason exists why the commercial relations which had been suspended be not re sumed, and the free pas:Age of travellers again permitted. " Orders have in consequence been issued for recalling the prohibitive measures established on the frontier." These papers contain various reports of Aliguelite and Carlist intrigues in Italy, and some of the lesser German States, but the details are unworthy of reca pitulation. Extracts from them are given in another part of this Journal. The Agricultural Bank of Ireland has, we are sorry to say, been obliged to suspend its paymenis. Intelli gence to this effect reached town at an early hour this morning. The pressure on the Bank had greatly re laxed, and hopes were confidently entertained that it would weather the storm, when the presentation of draughts from various parts of the country to which the panic had extended, left the Directors no alter native but to stop payment. It is understood that the suspension will be but temporary, and that, although considerable inconvenience must be the result, it will be much less than'the fears of the timid, and the wishes of the ,malevolent, anticipated. The Agricultural Bank is on the Joint Stock principle, and has more than 600 partners, all Of whom--and there are many of great wealth — are liable to their last farthing for its engagements. Ultimately, thereforc, every claim upon it will be li quidated should things come to the worst ; but it is most likely that when the of its affairs are laid before, the public, confidence in its resources will be restored, and its credit re-established.' This view of the case will, we think, be amini;' borne out by the Resolutions passed at a Board of Direct held in Dublin on Tuesday last, which we have in serted elsewhere. The way in which the Bank of Ire land is alluded to in these Resolutions leads us to sup pose that its conduct on this occasion has not been quite so liberal as it might have been. There is, to be sure, a certain degree of praise bestowed upon it, but it does not seem to come from the heart."' The Dublin Evening Post, indeed, is at issue wig., the Directors on this point, and scruples not to impute a great share of the difficulty under which the Agricul tural Bank laboured, to a reluctance on the part of the Bank of Ireland to afford the accommodation which it might safely have done. The same Paper at tributes the disturbance of the monetary affairs of Ire land, at the present moment, to au excessive spirit of rivalry or jealousy entertained by the Bank towards the new joint-stock Banks. This spirit has, it is asserted, been carried to such a height, that the bills of Lancashire have been discounted by this bank at 31 ; per cent., while 5 per cent. was charged at Liverpool and Man chester. If this be so, it accounts at once for the scarcity of gold in Ireland. The produce of sue bills must of necessity have been transmitted in gold to the north of England, where Irish notes do not circulate. As this drain continued, its natural tendency would be to produce an increased issue of paper to supply the vacuum ; and thus it is that the paper circulation of Ireland may have been injudiciously carried too far. That political motives have had something to do with these matters of business, seems but too evident from various circumstances. Among others, it may be mentioned, that some of the notes sent in to the National Bank, with which Mr.O'Co N NELL is connected, had a death's head and cross-bones stamped upon them. This shows both the quarter from which they pro ceeded, and the diabolical animosity which actuated the parties makin g the demand. The National B ank, however, even by the confession of those who cannot be numbered among its friends, is unassailable. Its foundations are laid too deep and too wide to be endan gered by the feeble hostility of party politics. We are indebted to our enterprising Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser, f or a f u ll report o f th e speech delivered by Mr. O'CONNELL at a meeting of the General Association, which was held in Dublin on thingsee Tuesday last. In this spe ech the lion. and Learned Gentleman developes his plan l\a\nre haveoftwo consider able to do agitation at nsidr able length. He says, , —we must excite the people to work for Ireland ; we must see that local associations are formed in every county, barony, parish, and town in Inland, to put down, in the firA place, every prospect of agrarian outrage, and to attend to the registries. We must next have in cacti parish two rcificators appointed, one by the clergyman of whatever persuasion, of whose flock there is a majority in the place, and the other by the parishioners themselves." Mr. O'CONNELL then proposed resolutions to the following effect " Resolved—' I. That the objects of this Association being to obtain, by legal and constitutional means, the final adjustment, in a manner satisfactory to the Irish people, of the Tithe Question, and the complete reform of our corrupt and profligate Corporations, it is necessary that immediate means should be taken to have ready for presentation to Parliament, on tho first day of the next Session, as many petitions. and as numerously signed as possible. " 2. That for this purpose the Committee shall forth with prepare an address to the insulted and outraged people of Ireland, and also forms and drafts of petitions for their consideration.' " This resolution should be the basis of all our acts. " 3. That the present Administration enjoy the full con. fidence of the people of Ireland, and that we know no lan , guage sufficiently strong to express our admiration of, and gratitude for, the just, firm, manly, and impartial govern ment of his Excellency Lord Mulgrave. " ' 4. That under these circumstances, we deem it the sacred duty of the Representatives of the Irish People in Parliament, to give their zealous support to his Ma jesty's Ministers upon all occasions that do not involve, if any such there should be, a direct violation of political principle.' In the justice and propriety of these resolutions every well-wisher to Ireland must concur. Let them but be followed up in the spirit which Mr. O'CON NELL recommends, and a year will not elapse ere the country has a full measure of justice awarded her. In vain will the House of Lords interpose their veto ; they will not be able to resist a united nation ; and finding this, we have not the slightest doubt that they %NA play over again the game that they played during the discussion of the Reform Bill—that is to say, abandon their position with as much precipitation as they took it up. Mr. O'CoNNELL, we see, again al ludes, and if possible, with more indignation than ever, to Lord LYNDHURST'S charge against the Irish that they are " aliens." Now, all things considered— though there can be no excusing, or explaining away the malignant rancour that prompted his Lordship's taunt—we cannot but think that he has been a greater benefactor to Ireland, by making such an open avowal of party hostility towards her, than if he had over whelmed her with flatteries, yet still voted in opposi tion to her interests. In the one case he might have thrown her off her guard, and so protracted the period of her struggle for " equal justice ;" in the other he has sharpened her wits, put her on her mettle, and roused her undivided energies from one end of the kingdom to the other. So far are we therefore from regretting, with Mr. O'CoNNELL, that Lord LYND IIURST ever taunted the Irish with being " aliens," that we rejoice at it, with all our heart and soul, for it has taught them what they have to expect from him and his. It is not Mr. O'CONNELL who is the agitator now ; it is Lord LYNDHURST. It is to him that Ireland is indebted for her General Association, which is ramifying through every part of the country. He is the legitimate founder of this Institution. It owes its origin, and is indebted for its progress solely to his seasonable taunt. Old COBBETT used to say, in those capricious moods which but too often moulded him to their will, " Thank God, we have a House of Lords ;" with fargreaterjustice may Ireland say," Thank God, we have a Lord LYNDHURST." He supplied the text from which O'CONNELL is now preaching ; and slight indeed must be Ireland's sense of gratitude, if she ever forget this. No, no ; let her cherish the memory of her LYNDHURST, as tenaciously as she cherishes that of her six hundred years of slavery. For our part, knowing well that his Lordship was once " a Whig, and something more ;" and that early im pressions arc not easily eradicated, if they be ever so at all ; we are not without a suspicion that, true to old democratic principles, he purposely taunted Ireland, in order to bring out and consolidate the democratic in fluences in that country.

The accounts from Dublin are not of that favourable nature as were anticipated. The Agricultural Bank, after sustaining a continued run for several days, has stopped ' payment, and it is feared that the Branches will be in the same predicament ; the Managers hoped to ride out the storm. It was supposed that the amount of gold received from England since the commencement of the run was not less than one million, and the Bank of Ireland refused to take Bank of England notes in exchange for their own, except at a discount. The National Bank (O'Connell's) was believed to stand its ground firmly ; a good supply of gnu had been obtained and sent off to its country Branches ; some of Directors who reside in London had arrived in Dublin to their assistance during the crisis.

He got out of hi s b o at, and walked towards the object, which proved to be a large fish, biting the sand, and gasping for life. Mr. Bell immediately se cured the fish, and brought it to Canterbury, for the gra tification of the public. It appears to be an enormous tunny—in search, perhaps, for the whale which visited the Whit s table coast about seven years since !—Kentish Gazette. It is rumoured that Mr. Robert Bond, one of the principal managers of the Junior St. James's Club, has re• tired. The cause assigned is heavy losses last season, and the great difficulty in collecting the debts due to the house. " Jacta est aka."—illorning Post.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was a motion for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection on behalf of the Learned Judge who tried the cause, and also the striking out of the evidence the deposition of a Mrs. Moray. The question which the issue from the Court of Chancery was directed to try was, whether a sum of 10,0001. was or was not the purchase money of certain leasehold premises. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found that it was ; and the present ap pilcation was for the purpose of upsetting that finding. The Lord Chancellor was clearly of opinion the Learned Judge had done most rightly in directing the deposition of Mrs. Moray not to be received as evidence, and that the Jury had come to a right conclusion ; and he therefore dis missed the motion for a new trial, with costs. N THE MATTER OF THE SHREWSBURY FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. The Loan CIIANCELT.OR also gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court a short time since, upon the petition of the Governors of the Free Grammar School of Shrewsbury, praying that it might be declared by the Court that certain ecclesiastical benefices which, up to the time of the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill were vested in the Corporation, had by the passing of that Bill, because that species of property which, under the directi o n o f the Act, should be sold, or that the petitioners might be declared the Trustees of, in the room of the late Corporation of Shrewsbury. By letters patent in the reign of Edward VI. the Free Grammar School of. Shrewsbury was founded, and certain property was given by that monarch for its support. Subsequently Queen Elizabeth gave other property for its support, together with the advowson of Cherbury. It was contended that the advowson was property held as trustees by the Corporation of Shrews bury, and therefore that it must be sold. The Lord Chancellor thought the property did not come under that denomination, and directed a reference to the Master to ap point new trustees in the place of the late Corporation of Shrewsbury, it being clear in his Lordship's mind that the petitioners ought not to be a ppointed. BRITTAIN V. PARROTT. This case came before the Court upon the motion for a new trial, Sir F. Pollock and Mr. Sergeant Bompas specially attending the Lord Chancellor upon it. ROLLS'COURT.-(THIS DAY.) WILLIAMS V. CALVERLEY. Mr. PEMBERTON moved, on behalf of the defendant in this case, that the injunction which had been granted ex parte on the 18th of October last, restraining the defen dant from transferring or intermeddling with the sum of 1161. long annuities, standing in the names of the defen dant Joseph Calverley, and Charlotte, his wife, might be dissolved with costs. The Learned Counsel stated that the injunction had been granted upon a bill filed by the de fendant's wife, and William Williams, who was a solicitor, as her next friend. The bill was supported by the affidavit of Williams, but Mrs. Calverley did not make an affidavit. The bill stated that previous to the marriage of the defen dant and his wife a settlement was executes], by which the long annuities, and all other the personal estate of the plain tiff Charlotte Calverley, were to be settled on her for her separate use ; that shortly after the marriage Mrs. Calverley transferred the long annuities into the joint names of herself and her husband, with the view thatthe same should vest in and belong to the defendant in case he survived his wife, but the fund was still to remain her sole and separate property, and that she accordingly after such transfer, with the consent of the defendant, received the dividends. The Bill then stated that the plaintiff Mrs. Calverley, had absented herself from the defendant ; but that while she continued to reside with him,he was in the habit of absenting himself from her for weeks together, of beating and ill using her, and otherwise treating her with the greatest possible cruelty and disres pect. The Learned Counsel then stated that Mr. Williams in the affidavit he had made had thought it necessary to ac count for the absence of Mrs. Celverley from her husband's house, which was attributed by the plaintiffs solely to the cruelty with which he had been treated by her husband. He (Mr. P.) was sorry to say that unquestionably on one side or the other in this case there was as great a mass of perjury as he had ever heard of, for the parties who had made affidavits and who positively swore to facts that came within their own knowledge, swore diametrically opposite to each other. He thought, however, there would be some criterion by which the Court would be enabled to determine on which side the truth lay ; but there was a great deal of matter that was not properly before the Court, and which he con sidered had been most improperly introduced into the bill, and Mr. Williams' affidavit in support-of it. The allega tions and charges in the bill and affidavit had been com pletely contradicted by the husband, and those contradic tions had been again as stoutly denied by the wife. 'What ever might have been the conduct of the husband, this fact was not even attempted to be denied, that Mrs. Cal verly was now living in adultery, and that an action for criminal conversation had been commenced by the husband in the Court of Exchequer against Mr. Courtenay, her pa ramour. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to read the affi avits when we left the Court. £3 15 0 0 4 5 4 15 5 15 2 2 £4 0 0 0 4 10 4 15 6 0 2 0 27 0 27 0 ...270 .. 26 6 .. 21 0 22 0 .. 21 6 9th section of the 6,h of Anne, which ,nrct:,d that no other partnership, other than the Bank of England, should bor row, take up, or owe upon their bills or notes payable on demand, or in less than six months from the borrowing. To put an end to the evil that then existed, viz., to prevent other partnerships from coming into the market and engag ing in this mob. of dealing, was the object of the enact ment in the 6th of Anne, which was repealed in the subsequent Acts, but the transaction at present in question was clearly a transaction of a different nature and description, and wasi not in any way prohibited by the statutes. To show the mode in which the Government dealt by the 7th and Bth of Will. 111. c. 31, it was provided that it shall and may be lawful for his Majesty, or the officers of his Majesty's Exchequer, from time to time to borrow, or take up upon their own receipts, any sum or sums of money, from any person or persons, native or foreign, willing to lend the same upon the credit of their bills, to be made payable on d2mand, with interest not exceeding the rate of 3d per cent. per diem. This was the Government mode of dealing—they borrowed, took up, and owed money upon their own bills, Ex, chequer bills as they were called, which were payable on. dt mand, and were delivered on the payment of their arnoutv.; as a security for the same amount, and these Exchequer V;ls did hen form, as they still do form, a very large par. t of the circulating medium of the country. By the sa,ne statute, sec. 32, the Governor and Company of the National Lana Bank were authorised to borrow money upon their bills, and by the 25th sec. the bills so delivered were to be issued by the Corporation under their common seal, and were payable o❑ demand to the borrower, who was entitled to, proceed by action against the said Company for the amount of the said bills. The same mode was adopted with re gard to the Bank of England. By the sth and 6 ch. of William and Mary, by which the Bank of Engl-,,nd was first established, by sections 25, 27, and 28, ;,he mode t) be adopted was in substane:d this :—The Bank was to b.) at liberty to issue bill°. to the amount of 1,200,000 1 ,, and these bills were 4 , 0 be given to persons of whom money to the tame amount should be borrowed, and the Bank of England was at liberty to borrow money, and to give these bills as security. Section 27 gave them an opportunity still to deal in bills of exchange, and he re- Led upon this to show that when bills of exchange were tueant, they were specifically described. When, they came to the 28th section, which referred to the bills given as se curity, the words " bills of exchange " weret not added, and it was therefore clear that the Act refev:red exclusively to bills under seal, which were issued as security for the mo ney borrowed. These securities were called bank post bills, and he contended that it was the issue of these bills,and not of bills of exchange, which was prohi bited by the 6th of Anne and the subsequent acts. Ho contended that. the bill of exchange in question was riot a bill within the meaning of these Acts, and that these Acts were all meant to meet a specific evil which was the issuing of paper, in the shape of promissory note, either with or without seal. The Attorney-General then proceeded to refer to the different Acts of Parliament, and had not concluded when our reporter left. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice PARKE and a Common Jury. WRIGHT V. NEWTON. This was an action brought against the defendant, who is a solicitor, for negligence in attending to the interests of the plaintiff, his client, in the disposal of a sum of 2001. upon a mortgage security of certain houses which proved to be valueless, and of which the defendant was cognizant at the time of negotiating the loan. It appeared in evidence on the part of the plaint'ff, that the defendant had acted for the plaintiff for many y ea rs in the capacity of her solicitor, and that he had possessed much of her confidence. In the year 1833 the defendant called upon Mrs. Wright, and proposed that she should lend to a Mr. Holton a sum of two hundred pounds, tak ing as a security for its repayment a mortgage upon certain houses, eighteen in number, situated at Cambridge heath, Hackney. Of these, at the time of the negotiation, Holton was in possession of only six, the remaining twelve he proposed to purchase, but had no means of paying the purchase money, 1601., other than what might be obtained by means of the mortgage. This was with the full know ledge of the defendant, and of the remaining 401., he took for law expenses 391. 10s. 6d, to his own share. The plaintiff also took as a further security a warrant of attorney against the mortgagers, Messrs. Holton and Jones, who were represented by the defendant to be in a flourishing line of business, whereas he must have known the fact to be otherwise. Mr. Newton stated that the security was perfectly solvent, and upon the faith of that representatioft the plaintiff advanced the sum required, but after the first year she received no interest for her money. The valuf3 of the leasehold was very trifling, and the mortgaKers became bankrupt. Mr. ERLE, for the defendant, submitted that the., proof did not substantiate the allegation in the declar a tion. It was then stated that the money was advanced on the mortgage only, whereas the evidence went to show that it was given as well on the security afforded by the war rant of attorney as upon that contained 'in the mortgags• Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, for the - plaintiff, h o ped, if it were necessary, the Learned Juke would allow him to amend on the record.

EX VICE-CHANCERY.-(TIIIS DAY His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in the case of the Marquis of Breadalbane v. the Marquis of Chandos, the facts of which we will give when the case is concluded. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM. MUDD V. SUCKERMOItE. The Court was occupied during the entire morning with the arg u m e nts in this case, which turned upon the admissi bility of the evidence tendered in proof of the signature of an attesting witness to a will. The case had not concluded when our reporter left. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) TOWN COUNCIL OF LEEDS. Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER applied for a rule to show cause why a writ of quo warranto should not issue, directed to Mr. George, to show by what authority be held the o ffice of one of the town council of the West Ward of the bo rough of Leeds. There were lately two vacancies in this Ward, and on the first of November instant, the Mayor gave the usual notice of an election to fill up those vacancies. There were four candidates, and at the close of the poll the numbers were declared to be—Farley, 231 ; George, 245 ; Bromley, 245 ; Hunter, 245. The Mayor declared the first two gentlemen elected. Before the official declaration of the result, some friends of Mr. Bromley waited upon the returning officers to demand an inspection of the voting papers, when they discovered that among the voting papers of Mr. George was one that had not been filled up, and which had, notwithstanding, been counted as one vote in his favour ; and that with respect to three others, there was not that description of the property which the Act required. On calling the attention of the assessors to this fact, and requesting them to strike out the objec tionable votes, by which Mr. Bromley would have a majo rity in his favour, they said, We cannot do that ; we have made our return to the Mayor, and it is now too late to alter it. Upon this an application was made to the Mayor, who struck off one vote from Mr. George's list (the one allowed on account of the blank piece of paper), but re fused to disallow the three which were objected to on the ground of the property not being properly described. The decision left the numbers for Mr. George and Mr. Bromley equal, and the Mayor then exercised the power given him under the Act, where the numbers were equal, of deciding which of the candidates should be declared duly elected ; and lie decided in favour of Mr. George. He (Mr. Ser geant M.) contended that the Mayor ought to have dis allowed these three votes, when the majority would then have been in favour of Mr. Bromley.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY THE BANK OF ENGLAND V. ANDERSON AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL this morning proceeded to address the Court on the part of the defendants. He b e gged to draw the attention of the Court to the course of proceedings in the latter end of the reign of King William, and the beginning of the reign of Anne, to show that what was intended to be prohibited by the 6th of Anne, was the borrowing of money upon the issuing of sealed bills or pro missory notes, which became part of the circulating medium of the country; that simultaneous with the borrowing was the issuing, and the Government itself did all in that line, and still continued so to deal by means of what were called Exchequer Bills. Exchequer Bills were the Bills of the Government issued in this way, and the Bank of England issued securities in the nature of Exchequer Bills, some under seal, some not, which were called promissory notes. Bills of exchange were never thought of as being exchanged for money borrowed at the time they were issued. They were never understood to be capital or part of the circulat ing medium of the country. Exchequer bills were still issued by Government, and in this manner. A person eamo and put down a certain stun of money, and received an Exchequer bill. The Government borrowed upon their Exchequer bills--they borrowed, owed, and took up money on these bills. The Bank of England in the same manner issued bills, some under seal, and notes not under seal. They borrowed money on the security of these, and there fore they, upon such bills and notes, borrowed, owed, and took up money. The object of the statutes was to prevent other banks that were not privileged from borrowing, taking up, or owing money in the same manner as the Goverpuqkt did, and as the Bank of England clid by IRX-. 4t w . as, herefoTe i that tlgre was iilirodgeecl the enaOwen% in the ,CHEQUER COURT. -(THIS DAY.) VANDENHOFF V. BUNN. Mr. PLATT appeared to show cause against a rule Nisi for a new trial in this cause, which was obtained by Mr. Thessiger on the part of the defendant. The L ORD C HIEF B ARON read over h i s notes o f t h e trial, from which it appeared that the plaintiff, a celebrated actor, entered in 1834 into an agreement with the lessee of Drury-lane, to play for two seasons at 181. a week. 1 1 ° played up to the month of May, when the defendant sud denly put an end to the season, closed the theatre for a few weeks, and then opened it as a new season, Madame Mali bran being the only new actor. It appeared that manY of the other actors entered into new engagements with Mr. Bunn for what was called the summer season, but Mr.' Vandenhoff did not ; he brought his action for his salary for the whole time the Theatre was open, and obtained a verdict for 162/. Mr. PLATT contended that the season meant to include the whole time which the Theatre was kept open, and that• according to the note of Mr. Kemble's evidence, which had been taken by his Learned Junior, he did not limit the season to two hundred nights, but said that be had never known it to consist of less. If this were not so---if the manager could put an end to a season at any time • he pleased, the performers could not by possibility make all , arrangements ; while, on the other hand, if the maaager brought out a new piece, which was very successful two or three weeks, before the end of 200 nights he wo uld very naturally wish to run it for a few weeks longer. Under such circumstances, would any one for a moment contend that the performers were at liberty to say " the season is over, we will not play any longer." There was a mutuality in the contract—the manager could no t put an end to the season under 200 nights, but if he wished to keep open after then, the performer 5 bound to play so long as the theatre was kept open. g o submitted that the only question in the cause was as to the length of the season, which was a question for the Jury, ad d they had decided it. Mr. TIIESSIGER admitted that the defendant had been in error in so suddenly putting an end to the season. kle was now fully aware of his error, and recognized the c ustom as laid down in the evidence of Mr. Kemble, that a senses must consist of two hundred nights. Being aware of tha t he was now willing to adopt the suggestion thrown out by the Court, and consent that the verdict should stand for 6°" Mr. PLATT was not instructed to consent to the 91.. rangement. Mr. TIIESSIGER then contended, that though the season must be of the duration of two hundred nights, still as AL r ' Bunn had put an end to the former contract, by silut t '' up the theatre, and had made new c ontracts with the per formers for the summer season, it was as much a tr. season as if the performances had been. held at aec't 3l , ci theatre. He (Mr. Thessiger) would admit that if e defendant had merely put an end to the plaintiff's contract' and had gone on with the old contracts of the other Pero formers, then it might be contended that the two seasi''es, were one ; but the evidence was, that the other P i : he , had entered into new engagements. He was sorry that had been led into a misstatement when applying for the rule ; but the fact was, when the cause was calle d on. P was engaged elsewhere. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Then the principal performer being a i b , s u e E nt s , siG h E is ß p_ar A t nwd as a r t ea e d xt b r y em an e o ly the sh r. o — rt ( - , o a t ui notice, t effir Lord. Mr. PLATT—But extremely well done. Mr. THESSIGER said the only evidence which was to n ga to the Jury as to the length o f the se ason , wa s the witess for the plaintiff, Mr. Kemble. There was no other evi dence in the cause, and they had no right to find for more than the 200 nights for which the season ought to have! lasted. He had the notes taken of that evidence by his Learned Friend, Mr. Cresswell, and they were in the sates Kemble put no limitation to his words—th e y words as the note taken by the Lord Chief Justice. Mr: 4 , that , in the best days of the drama a season consisted of two buil dred nights."
