DECEMBER 6 1845 The Town-council of Edinburgh, at a meeting held this week, took advantage cf the presence of Sir C. NAPIER in the capital of his native country, to confer on him the freedom of the city, which was done in due form by Lord Provost BLACK, who expressed the gratification of his fellow-citizens at finding the hero who fought and conquered in the cause of freedom on the ocean and in the field, no loss staunch in supporting civil and reli gious liberty and freedom of trade in the senate of his country. His illustrious deeds on the coast of Syria of course were not forgotten. The allusion to that affair called forth from Sir CHARLES, in his reply, the following striking remarks :—" We were sent there by the Go vernment, but I regret exceedingly, after what was done in that country for the alleviation of the miseries of the people; who were supposed to have been severely redden down by MEHEMET ALI—I regret to say that after having released them from what was called the tyranny of MEHEMET ALI, they have unfortunately fallen into a tyranny ten thousand times worse. There is nothing in my life which I regret so much as having had any hand in turning that man out of Syria, and having allowed the Turks to establish among the Chris tian population of Lebanon—the only remnant, I may say, of Christians in Asia—the most infamous govern ment that ever existed ; and this people are at this moment ten times more oppressed than they were before." That. the Gallant Officer is an excellent com mander ; that he has rendered immense services to our old allies, the Portuguese, and, latterly, inflicted a ter rible blow on MEHEMET ALI, no one can deny, but that he is a profound statesman, or saw clearly the object of the Whig Ministry in interfering with the Govern meut of Syria, is another question. In the simplicity of his heart he believes that Lord PALMERSTON sent Sir Ronewr STOPFORD with a powerful fleet to alleviate the miseries of the Syrian people, and save them from the yoke of the Egyptian PACRA, while these u ere only minor considerations, which never would have moved the Austrian and English Ministers, independent of others of a very different character. Their objects wore to prop up the falling dynasty, which has ruled the destinies of Turkey for centuries, to deprive the Russians of all pretensions for interference in the great contest between MEHEMET ALI and his liege Lord, and to avert, if only for a time, the scramble which must one day cone for the division of the extensive and wealthy provinces, nominally under Turkish dominion. And, after a ll, whatever Sir C. NAPIER may say, Lord PALMERSTON was right. Constantinople, if the great Powers had stood by idle, was at the mercy of IBRAHIM PACHA ; he could have finished in a very brief space the Syrian campaign. li e hail beaten the Turkish army in every encounter, and there was nothing to prevent his triumphant entry into the capital of the East. But neither Russia nor France would have suffered such a consummation. They had selfish views on that head. M. THIERS wanted snore power in Egypt , he was anxious to destroy British influence in that quarter, and revive the schemes of NAPOLEON for attacking British India on the side of Egypt. The French, therefore, would not ha ve consented to the occupation of Constantinople by a rebellious Pacha, without having received full ralue for their generosity. But what was to bo done with Russia ? The Sovereigns of that country have long regarded Constantinople with an anxious eye as the richest prize within their reach, and they consider the next reversion of it as their lawful property. The Emperor NICHOLAS had a large army at hand ready for the work ; he would, therefore, have offered his services to the GRAND SEIGNOR as a Protector, and as a Protector he would have obtained possession of the capital. All these certain consequences the British Government fore saw, and, with a promptitude and energy which did Lord Eatattaarott great honour, they resolved to settle the question ►angle-handed. They were eminently " In a report recently published on the operations of the French in Algeria, it was said that it would be necessary to have recourse to France for the subsistence of that colony. This opinion is borne out by the following remarks, which we find in the Courrier d'Afrique, published at Algiers : " The drought which still prevails in Algeria hag not al lowed the plough to be put in the ground. Independently of this circumstance, the Arabs appear to be less inclined this year to sow corn than they have been in former years. Con trary to the usual custom at this season of the year, they bring a number of cattle to the markets, among which are seen a great many oxen for labour, which almost all come from Kabylia. We point out this fact, because we consider it significant enough to merit the attention of the government' "On Sunday morning, says a Marseilles journal, Ibrahi m Pacha received M. Suriau, the Deputy, and the President of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, with whom he held a long conversation upon the constitutional form of govern ment, upon which he showed great information. Afterwards, the flower-girls were admitted, to present nosegays to his Highness. In Th e afternoon he went to the Prado, and visited the country seat of M. Paseo', the honours of which were done by Madame Pascal, surrounded by a great number of ladies. In the evening the Prince went to a ball agiven by the Count d'H au t peu l, w h ere h e remained a con deFable time, co nvers i ng w i th the ladies. con „ The Augsburgh Gazett e states, from Palermo,' 20th ult., that a grand gala was given on the previous day, at the Court, on the occasion of the fete of the Queen-Mother. The Emperor and Empress of Russia were present. They were received by the Kmg at the foot of the staircase. The sedan chair, without which the Empress cannot ascend the stairs, not having arrived, the Emperor took h er in his an ,„ and carried her up."_ On the Paiis Bourse, on Thursd a y, the Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 15c. ; the New Loan, 82f. 90c. ; the Five per Cents., 117 f. 75c. • the Orleans Rail road Shares, 1,170 f. ; Rouen, 965 f. ; Noraiern, 720 f. ; Havre, 755 f. ; Avignon, 875 t ; The days of the corn-laws are numbered—the people of England have answered the demand of Mr. COBDEN and of the League in a manner which it is impossible to mistake. The national will has been unequivocally expressed,, and it is a matter of infinitely small im portance by whom, as Minister of the Crown, the offi cial registration of that will may take place. The mea sure, by whomsoever proposed and carried, is Mr. COBDEN'S; and that it will be carried, and that with- out delay, there can be no doubt, for never have the British people firmly expressed their determination but what they have triumphed over all. opposition. The great towns in the north, those hives of industry, have already spoken out, and now even Bristol, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL'S Bristol, Mr. MILES'S Bristol, heretofore regarded as the very Citadel of Monopoly, Bristol has pronounced against the corn-laws. A free-trade soiree took place there last evening, at the Public Rooms, 'the spacious hall of which was crowded with a vast assem. blage of the most respectable inhabitants. The Earl of DUCIE was in the chair, and Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT were present. The former gentleman made his 364th er 365th speech on the corn-laws, and an admirable speech it was. It would be well that these 365 speeches should be collected, revised, and published. A book containing a free-trade lecture for every day in the year, by Mr. COBDEN, would constitute an admirable " anti monopolist's manual." With regard to new arguments on the subject of free trade, we feel with Mr. COBDEN, " that now it is a work of supererogation to use them, for the old arguments, whi c h h ave stoo d t h e wear and tear of seven years," are still unanswered. They have produced their effect, and, thanks to their potency, we shall at length get rid of that " alien" and enemy to Britain —monopoly. "A lecturer upon the corn-laws," said Mr. COBD!N, in his speech at Bristol, " was ad dressing an audience in Wales, and in the course of his speech he felt it necessary to translate the-word mono poly into Welsh, but he found no little difficulty in the attempt, for the ancient Britons, it appears, would not stand monopoly—they fled to their mountains from those old monopolists, the Romans, and they have no•language to express monopoly. The lecturer was so much at a loss that be applied to a very clever Welsh scholar for aid, and the way in which, he expressed the idea in Welsh is so perfectly descriptive that I will repeat it for you. The way in which he rendered it was, A one handed bargain.' Now, I don't think that a bad defini tion of monopoly. It is something like the definition which Colonel THomesoN somewhere gives of it: —Serv ing oneself with a bucket and another with a spoon." The " spoons" will be " spoons" no longer. Like the ancient Britons, they will not stand monopoly. Instead, however, of flying from it, they will make it fly from them, and oblige the " buckets" to drink fair, repu diate " one-banded bargains," and live " cleanly and soberly, as noblemen should do."

The Stock and Share-market on the Paris Bourse on Thursday was even more firm than on the previous day, and a considerable advance, both in the Funds and on the price of Railway Shares, took place. Indeed, there appears to be now quite a mania for buying, while but a few days since all were sellers. The settlement had gone off extremely well. The papers contain no articles of much interest, but we are glad to find that in one of them attention is turned from angry discussions about foreign politics, to constitutional reforms and the improvement of internal government. The affairs of the country cannot be well conducted whether regards trade and commerce, or the army and navy, according to the Commerce, without a full and fair representation of the people. "The Parliamentary reform in England," says that journal, " extended the political rights of nearly a million of British subjects ; in France 240,000 electors only are relieved from the in capacity which is suffered by the whole nation. The moral consequences of this fact have not perhaps been sufficiently remarked, and they explain but too fully the inferiority in which for the last fifteen years we have stood as compared with England. Under the restoration with the Charter, which only recognised in France 100,000 electors, the nation was subject to no debasement in the eyes of the world, for it bad not acquiesced in its own degradation. But when, having re-conquered its rights, it admitted it self in the face of Europe to be incapable of exer cising them only excepting from this decree of incapacity 200,000 individuals; when at the same time England has called into political life a number of citizens seven or eight times more considerable, the whole of the world must believe that from our own avowal France was in the same proportion inferior to England, with regard to moral and political fitness, and hence it was impossible but that the latter should exercise a constant supremacy in the alliance and entente cordiale established between the two countries. Thus may be logically explained that state of dependence against which France is vainly indignant, and from which she cannot be relieved but by a large electoral reform. Parliamentary reform was the means of removing burthens from our neighbours to the amount of 200,000,000 f., whilst our budgets have increased 500,000,000 f. This is a part of the ques tion which is not less deserving of examination." We regret to learn from these papers that Lord COWLEY, the British Minister at the Court of Versailles, met with a serious accident on Wednesday evening. His Lordship, on returning about three in the after noon from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where be had been transacting business with M. GIIIZOT, and, having to cross the Boulevard at the part which is higher than the road, descended the steps, and in doing so missed his footing and fell. His Lordship's head, being protected by the hat, escaped injury, but he had the misfortune to dislocate both shoulders. He was im mediately taken up and conveyed in a coach to the Em bassy, where Sir R. CnEnrannu, the physician, and Mr. O'GRADY, the surgeon to the Embassy, were, with M. BLANDIN, the surgeon, soon in attendance. The dis locations were reduced by these gentlemen with great skill and promptitude, and his Lordship was fortunately free from fever. During the night, however, the patient experienced considerable pain; but we are happy to learn that on Thursday morning the case was proceeding very favourably. Thursday evening was the first of Lady COWLEY'S soirees for the season.) In consequence of the accident, her Ladyship prepared immediately for a post ponement, but Lord COWLEY desired expressly that her Ladyship should receive her company. The party was not very numerous; but it was attended by the elite of the French and English society. Amongst the distin guished persons present were the Neapolitan, Austrian, and Prussian Ambassadors ; the American, Dutch, Swedish, and Saxon. Ministers; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of the Interior. The accident to Lord COWLEY, however, threw a great gloom over the party. The inquiries on Friday morning at the Embassy have been exceedingly numerous, and prove the high esteem in which his Lordship is held by all parties.

WARSAW, Nov. 17.—Many among us hope that on occasion of the journey of the Emperor through Italy, an arrangement with Rome will be effected; but they surely hope in vain. The General and superior civil officers, to whom the Emperor has given confiscated estates are to have a Greek church built in six 3 ears. In the Roman Catholic churches of the kingdom one altar is to be allotted exclusively to the cele bration of Divine worship according to the forms of the Greek Church. The choice of the altar is to be left to the Greek priest; it may be foreseen that he will certainly choose the high altar, and in this manner bring the congregation to the Russian Greek Church. The making of proselytes con siderably progresses not only here, but' in the German Baltic provinces, where great numbers are said to join the Russian Church. The nobles view with sorrow these violations of the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution, and they hope, however, that the King of Prussia, as Definsor fides of the Baltic provinces, will secure the religion of his ancestors against foreign idfluence. HANOVER, Nov. 27.—1 t is said that several merchants of Bremen have made an application to our Government, which is supported by the Senate of Bremen, to be authorised to establish a commu n i ca ti on b y means of an electro-magnetic telegraph between Bremen and Bremerhaven, and that it has been granted on conditions, the acceptance of which is doubtless taken for granted, and which will not lead to pro tracted negotiation FRONTIER/ OF GALLICTA, Nov. 21.—The numerous arrests in Posen seem to be connected with similar events in Gallicia ; for in this province several persons, both civil and military, whose politics are suspected, have been arrested. .So much is certain that the revolutionary propaganda is again ex tremely active; that emissaries, in disguise, traverse the country, distribute incendiary proclamations, poems, pam phlets, &c., threaten and alarm the well-disposed. and en courage the discontented with the prospect of an approach ing revolution extending over Gallicia, Cracow, Posen, Po land, and Russia.—Silesia Gazette.

LORD NELSON V. LORD BRIDPOIIT. This was an appeal from the decision of the Master, with respect to the right ef succession and disposition of the estates of Lord Nelson at Bronti, in Sicily, and involved the question of the distribution of feuds according to the laws of Sicily. Some of the leading features of this case have already been made public. Mr. TINNEY (for the appellant) contended that according to the law of Sicily the decision of the Master could not be sustained. To understand the subject it was necessary to call the a tt en ti on o f his Lordship to the laws that existed in the country tyrhere the property was situated. There was a gen Neal law re specting real property in Sicily, except when it was altered by local acts or judicial decisions. In the absence of these, the Roman or civil law obtained. There were different laws for the regulation of succession to becidal estates. One of these was according to the jus francorum, which gave a mo dified power of primogeniture. The succession was given to the heirs of the body, or lineal descendants of the grantee, but in the event of a failure of these it went to the collaterals. There was a preference of males to females, and of the elder to the younger branches, and there was an important rule, that there could be no retrograde succession ; - therefore male issue would take preference except when there were female issue by the elder male branches. Lord Nelson left one daughter; and in failure of her success ion the estate was to go to the Crown, in conformity with the law. Feuds, noble or ignoble, and a noble feud could not be alienated to an ignoble person. The owner of a hereditary feud was, however, in full and perfect power. The next distinction was of feuds into pure or into degenerating, which last was where there was a power of alienation given by the grant itself. Feuds were further divided into old or new, or as it was expressed, feudum novum et feudum antiquum. The former of these could not be alienated without the consent of the Crown and of the successor also. By the local law of Sicily the consent of the Crown was taken away, but still the consent of the sue• cessor was indispensably necessary. By a further law, a feudum novum could be alienated by the quesitor or pur chaser, previded he had a successor, and in the failure ( that it was to go to the Crown, but if he left successors the alienation would be complete It might be laid down as a general law, that when the feud was alienable there was nothing particular in law respecting its disposal. It could be disposed of as a tes tamentary act, which the lawyers of the country were merely to investigate. It was not necessary that the alienation should be immediate, but it might be delegated. There was some obscurity in the Sicilian law as to whether two persons could be joint successors, and also whether a person taking possession of a feud was not bound under the terms of inves titure. ThiS investiture was like the law of copyhold in this country, it recognised a right, but conferred none. Therefore if Lord Win. Nelson deprived himself ef power he recovered again by the law of Sicily. If the successor of a feudatory were his heir in the feuds, he was bound, in the case of disposing of the same, to confirm the will of the possessor of the feud to whom he had succeeded. These were the general propositions he had to lay before the Court, and which would, he hoped, when established, prove that the decision of the Master bad been erroneous. (The Learned Counsel here read the testimony of two eminent lawyers of Sicily in support of his proposition, which were most volumnious, and with other documents occupied the remainder of the day.) QUEEN'S B.ENCII.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice IV mirrmAN.) PAGE V. HATCHET. This case occupied the Court until its rising last evening, and was renewed this morning. Several witnesses for the defendant were examined to prove that the wharf which the plaintiff alleged was his private property, had been used by the public and by watermen for a number of years. One of the witnesses created a good deal of laughter by the answers he gave to some of the questions put to him ; fur instance, " How long have you worked at this wharf ?" " I have, Sir." " How long?" "All my existence, and before that-- well, since I was bound 'prentice, and before that I was a child." EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) Sittings after Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) LIBEL ON A CLERGYMAN OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. JAMES V. BOSTON. This was an action on the case brought to recover damages !or an lible alleged on the character of the plaintiff, to which ;he defendant had pleaded that he was not guilty, and a jus ,itication. Mr. Chambers, with whom was Mr. Bradley, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jervis and Mr. Stammers for the defendant. .111 Ir. M. CHAMBF.RS stated the plaintiff's case. The plain tiff was the incumbent of the parish of St. James, Bethnal green, and the defendant the churchwarden of the adjoining parish. The libel complained of was contained in a letter sent on the Bth of January last to .the Bishop of London. The letter in question was as follows :—" My Lord Bishop— A report is current in the parish of Bethnal-green and in this neighbourhood, of a most di sgrace f u l scene which oc curred in the school-room of St. James-the-Great, between the Rev. Mr. James, the incumbent, and the schoolmaster, during school hours. Report says that the schoolmaster asked the rev. gentleman for his salary; words arose—the rev. gentleman collared the schoolmaster, a stand-up fight ensued, a cry of murder was heard from the school, which brought persons to the spot, and after ineffectual attempts of others, the churchwarden parted them. I have troubled your Lordship with these reported particulars that your Lord ship may institute inquiry. If the transaction is true, it is most shameful, and such examples in the clergy, especially among a population like Bethnal-green, are calculated to bring religion into contempt, and the church and its minis ters into disrepute, instead of implanting right principles into the minds of the rising generation of that long-neg lected parish ; and it is on this account I deem it my duty as a churchman, to make my information known to your Lordship, if the subject is not so already. The Bishop for warded a copy of this letter to the plaintiff, who subsequently waited upon the defendant, and denied that there was any foundation for the report, and demanded the defendant's in formant. The defendant replied that his informant was Mr. Goodwin, a parishioner of the plaintiff, but he refused to re tract his statement, or make an apology, and the conse quence was the plaintiff brought the present action for the injury it had done to his character and reputation. The Bishop of London was the first witness called. His Lordship merely proved the receipt of the letter containing the libel, and the forwarding of a copy to the plaintiff. Mr. Bull, curate of St James, Bethnal-green, stated that he accompanied the plaintiff on the occasion of his seeing the defendant on the subject of his letter to the Bishop. The plaintiff asked the defendant if he was the author of the letter, a copy of which the Bishop had forwarded to the plaintiff. The defendant replied that he was, and added that he would do the same thing again if reports came t o hi s ear justifying such a cou rse . The paintiff retorted that lie ought to be ashamed of himself to write such a letter. The de fendant said he was not, but, to satisfy the plaintiff, he would mention the name of his informant. It was Mr. Goodwin, of the Bethnal-green -road. The letter to the Bishop having been put in, the case for the plaintiff closed. Mr. JERVIS then addressed the jury for the defendant. In the first place, he had to submit to his Lordship that this letter was a privileged communication, and the action could not lie, for by the Church Discipline Act, which was the 3 and 4 Vic., cap. 5, sec. 3, it was enacted that when any person was charged with any offence against the laws ecclesiastical it was lawful for the Bishop of the diocese, on the application of any party, to order an inquiry to be in stituted into the matter. The defendant haffmade the com munication to the Bishop in accordance with the provisions of this Act, and for the public good, and it 'was therefore privileged. The Clime. BARON said that depended on circumstances. He was of opinion that this was not such a communication as could be considered in the light of a privileged matter. Mr. JERVIS said it did not much matter, and proceeded to address the jury on the merits of the case. The history of the case could be very shortly stated. Upon the appoint ment of the plaintiff to bis present living he found the office of schoolmaster and schoolmistress of the parish filled by a gentleman named Rolphe and his wife. He wished these two persons to be discharged to enable him to appoint a person named Mull and his wife to the situation, and cer tainly he could not help stopping to remark that the reverend plaintiff had made a pretty mull of it.—(Laughter.) But to return to his narrative. The plaintiff gave Rolphe and • his wife notice to quit these situations at Christmas, but on the 20th of December •he went with his scripture reader and the sexton to turn them out. Ile collared Rolphe, and threatened to turn him out, upon which the schoolmaster's wife called out " murder," which drew a crowd to the spot, and eventually a policeman was sent for by the plaintiff, and Rolphe was quietly re moved. Mr. Boston, the defendant, did not witness the occurrence, but the report of the fracas was current in the parish from the 20th of December to the Bth of January, when the defendant felt it to be his duty to communicate the matter to the Lord Bishop. The plaintiff, however, because there had been no such stand-up fight alleged by the letter, felt himself justified in retorting a species of special pleadings by no means becoming a gentleman in the plaintiff's situa tion, and declared that there was no foundation for the report. But he (the Learned Counsel) should call witnesses to prove that there was 'foundation for the report, and it would be for the jury to say, after hearing this evidence, whether the defendant was not justified in communicating what he had to the Bishop. Mr. Rolphe, the schoolmaster, was the first witness called. He stated that the plaintiff wished to remove him and his wife to make way for some of his friends in the country. He begged the plaintiff to allow him to stay, because neither he nor his wife had any other means of living, nor had they any other situation to go to. The plaintiff replied that he did not care who they were, what they were, or what they wanted, nor where they went to ; but if they did not go on the morrow, he would come and turn them out. This occurred on the 19th of DeceMber. On the 20th he gave the boys a half-holiday, in order that th e y m i g ht no t be present to wit ness the disgrace threatened by the plaintiff. Between three and four o'clock on the same day he and his wife met the plaintiff, accompanied by one or two persons going to take possession of the school. They followed them to the school room door, when the plaintiff seized him by the collar, and shook him most violently, which induced him and his wife to call out murder. After that the plaintiff let him go, when he asked the plaintiff what he meant by treating him in that way, but the plaintiff only replied by calling to the sexton to turn him out. During the scuffle a crowd• had collected round the door, and some of them called out, " Here's a fighting parson ;" while others said, " We are at liberty to fight each other now, having such an example before our eyes ;•' and some of the men from a neighbouring factory asked the plaintiff " what lie intended to stand, after being such a naughty boy in school." The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. CHAMBERS, with the view of eliciting that he had been dis charged from the office of schoolmaster for severity to the boys, and incompetency to perform the duties of the office. The witness, however, protested that such was not the case. He admitted that he was one of those who advocated the application of the cane, and always should do while he was a schoolmaster. Mrs. Rolphe,the wife, corroborated her husband's evidence, and added that she called out murder because she thought the plaintiff was ill-using her husband and behaving himself in a manner that ill became a clergyman. She heard the crowd call out, "Goit my cripples.' " llere's a fighting clergy man." " What will you stand, old boy ?" " Won't you stand something handsome, old boy ?" Other witnesses corroborated this testimony; after which a number of witnesses were called to rebut this evidence, some of whom declared that the plaintiff simply placed his hands upon Rolphe's shoulders, and said, "My good man, ' don't make a disturbance ;" upon which Rolphe and his wife roared out with extraordinary vigour, " Murder, murder." Mr. JERVIS replied, remarking that the plaintiff's latter evidence had only served to substantiate his case, and to establish that a scene of a di sgrace f u l nature had taken place between the plaintiff and the schoolmaster. Mr. M. CHAMBERS also replied, contending that the de fendant had not written the letter with the bona fide inten tion of procuring an inquiry, because he had exaggerated the facts and circumstances of the case, and, as he would hive it, with the express view of injuring the character and damaging the reputation of the plaintiff as a clergyman of the Church of England.
