NOVEMBER 10, 1845. The present crisis in our social, as well as our political, history, is one of a kind and degree of interest rarely attach ing to the affairs of an empire in the thirtieth year of pro found peace. The importance of the elements which have created this crisis is equal to the rarity of their combination, and well deserves— let us say, rather, imperatively demands— the profound consideration of every man anxious to uphold the grandeur and prosperity of this country. Abroad we possess dominion in point of extent, variety of surface and geographical relations, natural riches, population, com merce, intelligence, and power absolutely unrivalled in the case of any other European monarchy. On the shores of Africa we have trading settlements and forts, and immense territorial possessions, with active and resolute colonists, and all the mater;el of permanent and rapidly expanding establish ments. On its western coasts we lavishly expend our blood and treasure, the health and lives of our devoted sailors and their enterprising commanders, in the generous effort to extin ',wish the Negro slave trade, and to elevate the moral cha racter as well as the domestic condition of the African peo ple. On the south and east of the same enormous continent we are peopling the primxval solitudes of a fertile wildernes s with a race of English-descended settlers, who lire in the enjoyment and exercise of the arts and comforts, the man ners, language, and religion of their mother country, and who draw from their forests and their rivers, their vineyards, their flocks, their corn-fields, whatever can contribute to the support, the health, the vigour, and the physical progress of the human race. The protection afforded by the mother country our African colonists repay by the abundant sup plies and equipments they contribute to our fleets, the sani tory resources they offer to our invalided soldiers, exhausted by service in our more Oriental possessions, and the staples of wool, &c., which they supply to our general markets. In Asia, we possess the supreme dominion of that magnificent peninsula, which proves, with the single exception of China, the noblest regiou of the finest quarter of the globe. In that Indian Empire of ours, all the majestic and all the useful bounties of nature are distributed with a stupendous profusion. The noblest rivers, after pur suing their long-protracted course through some of the wealthiest and moat beautiful countries to be found upon the globe, roll their collected waters into the ocea n a t po i nts on the coasts of the peninsula which their alluvial deposits have enriched, for ages, with all the principles of in exhaustible fertility in incalculable accumulation. The richest and most abundant products, in some quarters, spontaneously develop themselves ; in others, (reward the slightest labour devoted to the cultivation of the soil. Th e m i nera l kingdoms vie with the teeming kingdoms of animated nature in their profuse yield of the riches they contain. The finest grain, pulse, and drugs, the most delicious fruits and flowers, are found in the same country which produces the purest diamonds and the finest metals. The mountain forests furnish the largest and finest timber trees fur ship-building; the plains contribute their precious products of raw silk and cotton ; the cities manufac ture the fabrics most prized throughout the world for the purposes of luxury or ornament. From k subject population of ninety millions of souls (independently of almost as many more, over whom set nominally exercise no more than the influence of the paramount State over its tributaries,)wedraw those fine bodies of native soldiery, who, under the simple condition of being commanded by British officers, compose the bravest and steadiest troops which Asia has ever produced, and who form, at this mo ment, the great bulk of our Anglo-Indian Army-- an army which for its morale, its discipline, its high-toned courage, its experience, its varied service, its miraculous successes, its inflexible perseverance, and its indomitable spirit, is, perhaps, without a:rival even among the military powers of Europe. In America, we have extended the do minion of our flag—and consolidated that dominion by the most populous, intelligent, and powerful colonial establish ments to be found in the world--over territories of all but boundless extent, and also eminent for the value of their native products—their sugars, coffees, spices, their timber and corn, their rivers and lakes, their fisheries and their trade. In China, we have established a paramount influence and authority over all other strangers—with the single ex ception, perhaps, of the Japanese—whom the jealous policy of that; imperial government has hitherto admitted into c)mmercial and even municipal relations with its subjects. And with all these means and manifestations of power, strength, and dignity, abroad, we possess and we exhibit at home a degree of opulence, a height of refinement, an ex tent of civilisation, an organisation of resources for the en largement and maintenance of our authority abroad, and our domestic prosperity, in every way proportioned to these indications of external grandeur. The history of human societies does not produce a parallel to the rapidity, or the amount, in which capital has been multiplied among us within the last ten years. No Oriental fabulist ever ima gined, in all the unbridled license of his invention, a fund of wealth, accumulated in one country, adequate to that which must have formed the basis of railway speculations that have been brought forward, in the latter half of that period, to a nominal or hypotheticated amount of capital exceeding 640,000,0001. ; and this, too, among a people whose means are annually charged with the actual payment of 50,000,0001. of taxes, of which nearly two-thirds are devoted to defray the current charge of interest on the debt of the nation. But in the midst of all these blessings and distinctions of internal prosperity and foreign power, it is but too evident there are disturbing influences at work, which, if not counter acted promptly, may go far to sap and undermine the foun dations of this magnificent political and social fabric. Bad economic laws, such as those which regulate the trade of corn and of money—impolitic principles of fiscal administra tion—abuses or incompetency in great branches of our exe cutive departments—and, above all, un-Christian, unwise, and antiquated civil disabilities, on account of religious opi nions, still affecting certain classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects, these are fruitful sources of disunion, discontent, and disc.' , ganisation of public feeling, which it becomes, with the lapse of every day, more and more the imperative duty of the ab vern rn en t and the Legislature to remedy or to remove. In more than one quarter of the political horizon every observant eye detects a threatened explosion of that morbid animosity and insatiable envy which the grandeur and the power of the position oc cupied by this country among the nations has generated among the most unprincipled of other Governments with which, up to this moment, we are on terms of ostensible amity. Of all kinds of wisdom political wisdom is that whereof " timeliness" is the most indispensable qualification. The movement in our dockyards, arsenals, and harbours, is all satisfactory enough, as being in the right di rec ti on; b ut in the meantime the Government should reform all admitted anomalies in our legislation and our civil institutions, so as to " knit together, in the bonds of amity and peace, the hearts and minds of all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects," against the day of that catastrophe—a war —which at no distant period may be forced upon us. Whatever enemy we may have to combat with may be assured of ultimate and signal defeat, provided only that we leave him no auxiliary so formidable as the existence of rankling internal grievances affecting large masses of our countrymen, and laws specially oppressive to the poor, by their cruel enhancement of the price of the first necessary for human subsistence. The last number of the Law Review contains an article on the subject of the controversy between the bar and the press, which is well worthy of attention. As might have been naturally supposed, the writer leans rather to the side of the bar. He would fain insinuate that no insult was meant to the press by the members of the Oxford and Western Circuit in passing their too famous resolution. We will not stop to inquire whether or no insult was meant; certain it is insult was offered, and such being the case, we are glad to find that the Law Review, a periodical which numbers among its contributors some of the highest names in the profession, offers this excellent advice to the members of thos.:e circuits:— " We believe that in both circuits there has been, on the divi sion as to the resolution, an opposing, but of course unsuccessful rnie.t)rity, although on the Oxford Circuit it was a small one. This minority may then easily become a majority, and we sincerely hope that no time may be lost in rescinding the resolution in ques tion. It is painul to us to offer this advice; it grieves us to find that two bodies so eminent and respectable as the Oxford and Western Circuits, so nearly allied to ourselves, and each of which numbers among its ranks so many men whom we not only value and esteem as distinguished members of the profession, but to whose judgments we would gladly defer on other matters. But as we feel a strong conviction that it Is for the honour of the profession and the interest of the puhl:c that the step should be taken, we would only say that the sooner it is taken the better. Circuits, like all other public bodies, are fallible. If they have been led into error, they have neither been the first nor will they be the last placed in similar circumstances. It is quite possible that both these circuits acted from a generous feeling. We therefore, with all sincerity, tender them this advice." This is wise, sensible advice, which we trust will be fol lowed ; and thus will this controversy, from which no pos sible good can arise, be brought to a conclusion. The writer goes on to state that, in giving this advice, it must not for one moment be imagined that he considers the bar has anything to fear from the press. If, by this phrase, he means the abstraction called the bar, he may possibly be right, but if by the tar he means the aggregate of barristers, he is decidedly wrong, for the public would not be cognisant even of the existence of any one single barrister if the press were invariably to exclude the names of all counsel from its reports and notoriety—that notoriety which the press alone can bestow, is the Pabulum vita to a barrister. Besides, in a preceding portion of the same article, we find the following passage:— " One word more, which we address quite as much to the true interest as to the generous feelings of the leaders of these circuits. The bar owes its strength, its reputation, its standing in society, to its power of attracting to its ranks from the lowest station by far the greater proportion of the clever men of the day. It is its proudest boast that its sons rise, without any other assistance than their talents and character, from the lowest rank to be the com panions of princes, and to wield the destinies of the world. Let the bar beware of shutting any avenue to this class of men; and the public press is one which has already sent, and will again send, a large part of the talent and character of the bar. The reporter of to-day may become the reported of to•morrow. The bar of the present day boasts but little beyond mediocrity ; we look along the ranks, and, in the midst of a larger extent of average ability than was ever before known, we find but few rising above the middle height, and no one standing above the rest from his shoulders and upwards.' Let us not, therefore, poison a spring from which already so much good has flown, and which may help us in time of need." Now surely that bar which boasts little beyond medi ocrity, has every thing to fear from a contest with that press which, to use again the words of this writer, " Is a power properly called the Fourth Estate, before which the Prime Minister, be he who he may, daily trembles; which dis. poses of crowns and subverts empires; which changes the face of nations and the very habits of the people." It is most assuredly a great anomaly, that men who exercise this vast power—who are in the nineteenth cen tury what the priests were in the thirteenth—the defenders of the oppressed against the oppressor —the denouncers of evil persons and evil things, the excommunicators of those bold bad men wl:o set the laws at defiance, but who yet fear that their evil deeds should become publicly known —it is most assuredly a great anomaly that the exercisers of this mighty power should have no fixed social status. The writer in the Reniew regrets this circumstance, which in fact renders the power of the press a perfectly irresponsible power, but he endeavours to account for it by saying "It the newspapers wish to be respected, they must 'how that they respect each other. They impute to each other, in plain language, crimes which, if true, ought to drive them. ot.'t of all civilised society. Over-reaching, unfairness amounting to theft, subornation of perjury, and lying, are repeatedly laid to each other's charge." To this, as a general accusation against the press, we demur That it is true of some papers we admit, but t hat it is so of all we as strenuously deny. Besides, this very fault is owing to the fact that editors of papers have no social status. The abstraction Star may abuse the abstraction Bee in the most virulent language. Like corporations they have nether bodies to be kicked, or souls to be saved ; but if; Mr THOMPSON were known to be the editor of the Bee, and were received as such, and Mr. JotiNsol were known and received as the editor of the, Star, then these papers, being no longer abstractions„ would. be forced to respect each other, or a duel between , Tkomisox and THOMPSON would be the inevitable consequenc*.. The following accusation against the Press Iv% - meet at once with an indignant denial : " An impression has got abroad that in society no on* is safe in the company of a gentleman connected with the press ; that there must be an end to all the ease, and abandon of society in his pre. scnce, that random thoughts and careless opinions wi (I be sedzed upon, and at some future and convenient time divu lged to the world." It is not the gentleman connected with the new spaper press of England who is the penciller by the way, this sketcher of fashionable sketches, the betrayer of confidence., the purveyor of scandal. No, it is the attaché—the fashionable: member of the fashionable club—the man who has and isrho holds his status in society—that is the retailer of " the it ter-dinner nonsense." lie it is who brings his budget of pyssip to the market, and sells it for what he can get ; and he it is who is most loud in his denunciations against newspr per men, be cause his proffered services have by them been rejected with loathing and contempt. The intelligence from Switzerland is of an t infavourable character. The excitement caused by the suicid a or assassi nation of M. LEU appears to be still on the is crease, and several persons of rank and the greatest respe.s Lability had been arrested in consequence of the confesiio , a s of a man named HULLER, who calls himself an accom 11 lice. The Basle Gazette of the 29th ult. says, that no rea: K )nable and impartial man believes that Dr. PFYFFER, w 1 10 has been arrested on the pretended confession of MuLtEr as an ac complice in the reported murder of M. LEI. 7, had mything to do with the affair. The Federal Gazette of Zuric tr, expresses the same opinion, and, in announcing the arrest of Captain WRGEtax on the same charge, states that ti tnan, hint- ever respectable, is nOW safe. The Grand Council of Lucerne, however, actuated by the wildest spirit of perse cution against the Liberal party, takes all this man's evi dence for gospel, and acts on it. At a late meeting of the Council the President read the confession of MULLER, with the testimony in support of it, and also the report of the jus tices appointed to investigate the affair, from which it ap pears these magistrates assert that they have reasons to be lieve that deep and odious machinations have been carried on in the dark. We fear that from such detestable means to excite one party against another the most lamentable results may be anticipated. Switzerland and the United States are doing everything in their power to make republics odious in the eyes of all good citizens. We have received Madrid journals of the 2d inst. The Gazette of the previous day puts an end to all doubt about the assembling of the Cortes, and contains a royal decree con voking that body on the 15th of December: Before that period about forty-live vacancies must be filled up—new Members to supply the vacancies caused by the acceptance of offices under the Crown, or other causes. From all ac counts, however, nearly the whole of the new Members will be Ministerialists. The NARVAEZ Cabinet is not very scrupulous as to means; and, accordingly, arrangements have been made by which majorities must be in their favour. Reports prevailed that the whole of the garrison of Madrid was to be changed, and other regiments substituted, more likely to be under the influence of the Queen-Mother and NARVAEZ. The General, it is said, will have everything in the army according to his own views, and CHRISTINA sup ports him. He is wise in his generation, for without the adhesion of the army he could not remain in office for one week. The Bourse was closed on Saturday, the Ist, it being All Saints' Day. A sort of panic took place on the Paris Bourse on Satur day, said to have been caused by the advices from London, announcing the depression in the English Funds and the resolution of the Bank to raise its discount to three-and-a half per cent. Great crowds flocked to the Bourse, which was extremely agitated, and a great deal of business was done. For the Account the Five per Cents. and Three per Cents. had fallen about 25c., and the new Loan, 40c. Shares in the Gretit Northern line had fallen lower than on any previous occasion, and closed at 735 f. Most of the other lines fell in proportion. The Ministerial journals contain articles on the present crisis and the anticipated rise in the price of grain, which they consider greatly exaggerated. The Epoque, for merly the Globe, a Government journal, says:—" As to the financial crisis, one word is a sufficient answer to all these predictions of ruin and bankruptcy. The Chambers have decided that the railroads shall be executed by companies, and capital has been naturally invested in shares. There have been variations in prices, as must always happen. But has money been wanting? No. Have works been suspended ? Look at the numerous edifices rising around—tell us what branch of industry is really in sufferance- We proclaim with confidence that every affair which is pre sented with honour and solidity finds more capital than it re quires. The harvest has been bad in some parts of the country, but it has been tolerably good in other parts, and positively good in several departments. We do not live on potatoes alone, as they do in Ireland, and by taking the measures, required by circumstances, we shall have sufficient wheat, rye, maize, chestnuts, and potatoes, to supply those districts which have suffered in their crops. Of those who say that moral feeling is lost in France, we ask if they reckon themselves among those who have forfeited their probity and independence. Assuredly they still hold themselves to be most honest, most independent. Why, then, should they not believe their neighbours to be as much so as they are? If, then, the old press, instead of writing under the influence of its rancorous passions, would write under the influence of truth and modera tion, it would find that things are not going on so badly as it is so ready to represent." The Journal des Debats thus endeavours also to dissipate alarm as to the state of the crops : " The evil •f a panic has no limit; it is contagious, and spreads without meeting a cheek, and seizes possession equally of the most violent, and most temperate, and most cautious dispositions. No interest is more irritable than that of the stomach when it believes itself to be compromised. Under such circumstances a popular panic increases to gigantic proportions, and produces in a few days the moat deplorable results. We still recollect the disturbances which prevailed during the year 1839 throughout the country situated between the Gironde and the Loire, and the scenes of vio lence which occurred at Marano, at Lugon, and at Brault, under the influence of the fear of a famine. We refer to those events because present circumstances are similar; and we trust that the results of the present apprehension will not be more un. pleasant than what followed that momentary crisis. The harvest of the year 1839 was but indifferent throughout England, Ireland, France, and parts of Germany ; and, as it always happens under such circumstances, England, whose consumption generally exceeds its production, was obliged to make larger purchases abroad than usual. The price of wheat In England rose in that year to 735. a quarter, a price which it had not reached since the year 1816 ; and at that price the sliding scale opened a large field for foreign importation. Still the im. portation was not exorbitant ; it did not exceed 7,312,428 hecto litres—that is, only the double of the usual average amount of imports. 7,000,000 hectolitres is, at most, but the 24th part of the produce of France. Had the entire amount been purchased In our markets, the country would certainly have suffered ; but it would not have incurred the risk of a famine. The Government, however, in order to relieve the existing apprehension, thought it necessary by an ordinance, dated the 25th of January, 1839, to forbid the exportation of grain. Such a measure was economi. cally, as well as politically, a wise measure ; for political parties on one hand, and commercial speculations on the other, were already hastening to take advantage of the popular fears. Experience demonstrated how much exaggerated had been the apprehensions entertained, and aker a few months the ordinance having been withdrawn, the trade in corn re sumed its free and regular course in our ports. The expor. tation of grain in France during the last quarter of the year 1839 did not amount to more than 870,124 hectolitres—that is to say, to about the double of the annual average. But we must remark by the way, that all this great foreign trade in corn in France merely affects the re.expertation of grain, one of the prin cipal branches of commerce in Marseilles; the native produce of France feels not its effects. In the mean time English speculation is confined to the countries where grain is one-third or one-half cheaper than in France, or to the grain from those countries stored in France. What is the fact at the present moment, when specu lation and a panic combined cause the prices to rise in Western Europe. The fact is that at Odessa, Riga, Dant.xic, those great storehouses for corn, the price of wheat remains still at 12, 15, and 17 francs the hectolitre (we speak of middling quality), whilst with us the price Is 21E, and in London, at the end. of October, the price was 555. 4d. the quarter, that is 24f. the hectolitre. If we now calculate the difference between the prices in 'the Baltic and in the Black Sea, and add the expense of freight aid commission, and if we add a duty of 2f. imposed upon wheat exported from France when the price exceeds 25f. the hectolitre, we shall find that, at the price of 27f. for the English purchaser, our consumers would be sufficiently protected both by the comp et ition of foreign grain and by the nature of our tariffs." The Journal des D(bats, however, though generally con ducted with ability, occasionally diaplays crude,;:notions, which will not bear the test of examination ; for instfmce, in refer ring to the numerous Cabinet Councils held leis ly, it comes to this conclusion :—" The most likely result h; an Order in Council opening provisionally the ports of Ire land, but the ports of Ireland only, to foreign corn. Nev , g rtheless, if we are to judge by the language held by the Vi( :eroy of Ireland, we may believe that the English Ministry is ;inclined to wait until it has acquired more complete informallon. However this may be, the resolution come to will pro bably be soon known." This shows how sadly the writer is puzzled to form any idea of what will happen. The inference :that the Irish ports only will be opened displays great ignorance, for of what use would it be to confine this measure to Ire; Ind? If corn were admitted into that country free of duty, it would in a few days find its way into England on the sang e terms. The ports of both countries, if opened at all, must bet opened at the same time. In the Flotte (a Paris journal generally de‘ toted to naval affairs), we find an article on the present state o f the French and English navy, extending to more than six -columns. It claims credit, and justly, for the superiority or the French in constructing large vessels of war, but allows England the advantage in building smaller vessels, such :as corvettes, brigs, &c. It wisely, however, comes to the co nclusion that " France may build the finest vessels in the wo: rld, and have also the largest navy, but to have a grand x oarine, which may live more than a day, she must IL Ave a vast maritime commerce ; she must have large am 1 flourishing colonies, and laws for favouring navig stion, even should that be done at the expense of other `au terests. At present we have nothing of all these, not ever, the right of pre-emption for forest trees, a wise provision of the great COLBERT, of which one ruinous vote of the r spresentatives of France deprived our royal marine. Our maritime com merce is sinking more and more every day - folder the in fluence of existing laws. As regards colonies, we have only ruins. This is the disastrous state of affairs ; and when the Chambers, which wish for a grand In arine, shall have re-established by new laws whatever they have destroyed by law, then France will reap the fruits of a quarter of a century of sacrifices." Tht compara tive state of the two royal navies is thus stftted :—" The French navy is numerically about one-third of that of Great Britain. This immense inequality is moreover greatly in• creased by the great number of three-deckers which the English possess. The number of vessels upon the stocks is nearly the same in both countries. Our neighbours are far from having any advantage over us as regards the 'construc tion of first-class vessels and frigate!. They are incontes tably superior to ns as regards the construction of inferior vessels, such as corvettes, brigs, schooners, Sce. And if the artillery on board our (the French) vessels is in general as well-disposed as that on board the Eng lish ships, there are some notable improvements to ,be made on board all our vessels, by arranging our guns so :as to be used either when giving chase or when in retreat, and also in the manner in which our vessels are equipped. In refe rence to the trade with China, the Constitutionnel contains the following sensible remarks, conveyed in a letter, it says, from a person worthy of confidence :—" Notwithstanding the am bassadors and the commercial commission, we shall rot obtain advantages from the treaty as long as the French trill not make up their minds to drink tea, and the Chinese claret. Our commerce in this country will be always limited, from the want of a commercial organization, for which everything is yet to be done."

CH ANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit to.day till eleven o'clock. CLUN HOSPITAL V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This case came before the Court upon the petition of the trustees of Clun Hospital praying that 2,5001., part of a sum of 3,3501., might be raised and paid to Earl Powis. it appeared that a sum of 3,3501. had been approved of by the trustees for certain buildings and repairs connected with the hospital. Buildings and repairs to the extent of 2,5001. had taken place, and the object of the peti. tion was to have that money paid. The petition also prayed for an order with reference to the increase of the salaries of the warden, nurse, and barber of the hospital, which had been approved of by the Court. His LoaDSHIP made the order as prayed. DAVENPORT V. BISHOP. The further arguments in this rppeal occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. THE NEW LORD MAYOR. Shortly before three o'clock the new Lord Mayor, accompanied by the late one, the Recorder, and the Civic authorities, appeared in Court, and invited the Lord Chancellor to the Civic banquet this evening. We understand that the cause of the Lord Mayor arriving at so late an hour was in consequence of his Lordship not being enabled to land at Westminster-bridge, the state of the tide rendering it necessary for him to proceed as far as Vauxhall_ bridge, and from thence to Westminster.hall, in his carriage. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PRICE V. PRICE. This was a case in Which a demand was made for certain costs. The parties were brothers. His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, reviewed the whole case. He said that it happened in this case, as it frequently did in transac tions between parties so nearly allied as the plaintiff and defendant, who had implicit reliance In the same solicitor, while they had a seperate interest, and who made no provision for any contingency that might arise. The circumstances of the case were simply these:—The plaintiff, in the year 1815, becom. ing embarrassed to a considerable degree, determined to go abroad, but before he departed, being desirous that his property should be managed in a manner the most con ducive to his advantage, he executed certain deeds which pur• ported to be an actual conveyance of his property to his brother, the defendant, who undertook to manage or to superintend the management of the same. After two years absence the plaintiff returned, the property being still managed by the de fendant; the expenses incidentally Incurred to be paid by both parties. It had been urged that this was a case of mere trustee • ship, of mortgage, or of agency. It certainly was not a case merely of trusteeship, because there was no evidence to show that In the deed of conveyance the defendant was vested with that character merely, for he was at the same time empowered to manage the property. For the same reason it could neither be a case of simple mortgage or of simple agency. In fact the character in which the defendant stood was a compound of these three rela tions. It appeared that the parties differed in 1829 or 1830, and the plaintiff demanded the feral estate to be returned, which the defendant resisted, alleging that he had claims which should,be first settled. A bill was then filed in Chancery by the plaintiff, and defendant's demand of 2,4001. was reduced to 8001., of which he had established his claim only to 781. Now perhaps the demand of the defendant was just, but as he could produce no vouchers for the same, he must take the consequences of the position in which he stood. The present application by the defendant for the costs of the suit it would be hard to grant, when be had failed to establish his claims. Nor did he think defendant entitled as mortagee, when there did not appear to be any mortage ati all. Under the cir. cumstances he would not grant costs on either side, the expense if the deed of re-conveyancing must be borne by the party taking it out. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice- Chancellor Kmon - r Baum) ROBINSON V. DE LIZARD'. A demurrer was put in on the part of Messrs. De Lizardi and Co. against the bill of the plaintiffs, that the Mexican Government had been made a defendant, and that the active holders of Mexican bonds were not sufficiently represented in the case. It appears that the active Mexican bondholders filed a bill some time ago, re quiring the. Messrs. De Lizardi and Company, the late agents for the Mexican Government, to pay over to Messrs. Schneider and Company, the present agents, for the payment of Mexican bonds, the money remitted from Mexico for this pur pose to M. de Lizardi and Co. But ou the ground of claims against the Mexican Government M. de Lizardi and Co., as having been the agents of the Government mid not of the bondholders, re fuse to pay over. Mr. Wigram, Q.C., and Mr. Heathfield were heard for the de murrer, Mr. Russell, Q.C., and Mr. Maylins for the plaintiffs. Hig HONOUR overruled the demurrer, but without prejudice to the answer afterwards to be made. and that the cause should be proceeded with, the defendants having the benefit of the demurrer when that answer has been made. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) HILL V. HASWELL. This was an action on a case for an assault and false imprison ment, to which the defendant having pleaded not guilty and justi. fication, the case was tried at nisi Arius before Mr. Baron Platt, on Tuesday last, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff, with 1501. damages. Mr. Jetty's now moved either for a new trial or a rule to show cause why the damages should not be reduced. The facts of the case were simply these. The plaintiff was a parishioner of the joint parishes of St. Bennet, Gracechurch-street, and St. Leonard's, Eastcheap, and the defendant was the churchwarden of the same parish ; a short time ago the plaintiff attended at the vestry, and demanded to see the rate-book, and on his receiving a flat refusal, he put his arm across the vestry table with the i ntention of reach. ing the book. The defenda n t , who observed this p roceeding, imme diately seized him, and the r esult was that a scuffl e ensued, a police ffi sending the case to the ses si ons , binding the pl a i nt iff over in ex ceedingly heavy damages, ( 6001 ), and the pl a i nt i ff being unable to procure the bail immediately, he was conducted oin , b and e for e the the p plaintiff given i n t o custody. The plain tiff Lord Mayor, w h o determined upon 5 was er called taken to the Compter, and there confined from the Satur day night till the Monday morning. Eventually the case came on for trial at the London sessions, w h en it was clearly proved that no assault had been committed on the defendant, and of course the plaintiff was discharged in respect of the defendant's case, but he was convicted of an assault on the vestry clerk, who prosecuted jointly with the defendant and another. The plaintiff therefore brought his action for the false imprisonment, and ob. tained a verdict for 1501., and the Learned Counsel now moved on behalf of the defendant that the damages should be reduced or a new trial had. _ . • Sir F REDERICK PocLocK—Take a rule t o s h ow cause. D ir . jE damagesavis— cry good , my Lord. If the pl a i n tiff w ill ta k e reasonable the Court will hear no more of the case. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sitting& in Banco.) STILES V. NIEEK. In this case, which was originally an action for excessive dis traint, tried under the Interpleader Act, Mr. Sergeant 231-Les moved for a rule under the Act of the 7th of William IV. and Ist Victoria, cap. 53, to show cause why the sheriff shourd not be adjudged guilty of contempt, and ordered to pay the costs. Their LORDSHIPS, after a short consultation, granted a rule to show cause why it should not be referred to the Master, to inquire and report whether the sheriff was in contempt, and liable to pay.. ment of costs. Their Lordships rose at eleven o'clock, and the Court adjourned to half-past one, when the Lord Mayor presented himself with the usual ceremonial. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE CHAMBERS V. ciiAmnERs—EXPARTE HICKS IN RE EXECUTORS OF G. ELNVES, LSQ. To.day was appointed for a dividend under the estate of these bankrupts, who were formerly bankers in Bond-street. Mr. GEORGE LAW appeared on hehalf of the Rev. Wm. Hicks one of the executors of G. Elwes, Esq., for leave to withdraw a proof of 13,000!. against the estate of C. J. Chambers, and prove for the amount against the joint estate. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the claimant had made his election as to which estate to prove against. Mr. LAW said he had elected the estate beat for himself, which was at that time the separate estate, but in August last Mr. Com missioner Holroyd decided that several large estates, then supposed to belong to the private estate, belonged to the joint estate. It had been decided by Lord Thurlow, Lord Eldon, and Lord Hard wick, that a credit or might have h i s proo f remove d f rom one estate to the other, where the circumstances of the property had changed, and it h a d b een held even t h a t a cre dit or w h o had ac tually received a di v id end might refun d it , an d p rove aga i nst the other estate. His application did not go so far as that, as th ere had not been any di v i dend. The Learned C OMMISSIONER sa i d t h a t a lth oug h h e h a d some doubts on the point , yet he could not go aga i ns t suc h authority; but it was clear, if th e principle was adm i tte d , great Inpistice might be done, as a party might prove on one estate, and get his own assignees chosen on that.'and afterward/ prove against another. The SOLICITOR to the assignees said they were acting as trustees to both sets of creditors, and had only to bow to the decision of the Court. The proof was with drawn from the separate estate. S everal proofs were dared in a few days. admitted, and the amount of the dividend will be de. MARLBRO . -STREET THIS DAY.) Henry Perki ns , a person of very fash i ona bl e appearance, who was described on tke pclice charge-sheet as residing at No. 70, in the Quadrant, was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting a gentleman named Pray. Mr. Prendergast, the counsel, attended on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Pray was stated to be unable to attend in consequence of the injury he had sustained. Two professional 'certificates relative to his state of health were handed to iV.r. Maltby. Robert Sutcliffe, Porter, and one of the, constables of the Quadrant, stat e d , that about half--,,ast five o'clock yesterday afternoon, he saw the defe:ndant striking Mr. Pray with great violence over the Lead with a walking stick. He was boating him in a r'aost unmerciful man-er. Mr. Pray seemed to be trying V, get away from him Wit ness got between them, and te the defendant into custody. Mr. Pray had a cut, about an inch and a half long, on the side of his head, and was bleeding. DY I) reudertr 4s t—Did not see the commencement of the affray, or know how it was caused. Did not see Mr. Pray strike the defendant. On the part of the defendant, Edward Knight, a cab driver; was called: He stated that, between five and six o'clock Jai evening; he took up the defendant at an hotel in St. Martin's-street, Leicetter-square, and was directed to drive to No. 70, in the Quadrant. On his way there he saw two gentlemen in a phaeton following. On his setting down at No. 70 the phaeton drew up in front of him ; the defendant having removed a carpet-bag from out of the cab into the house returned, and remarked, " What can those persons be annoying me for ?" Directly afterwards one of the gentlemen in the phaeton commenced horsewhipping the defendant. ; he struck him several blows with the thong of his whip in quick succession, and then beat him with the butt-end •, the defendant protected himself as well as he could with his walking-stick, and at length the gentlemen alighted from the chaise, and a scuttle then took place. Mr. Prendergast submitted that the charge against the defendant had been fully answered. Mr. MALTBY said that under the circumstances he should only call on the defendant to enter into recogni:ltaceF, himself in 50/., with one surety in a similar amount, for his appear ance on Thursday next, when most probably the complainant would be able to attend. Two gentlemen in the Court immediately offered to bail the defendant, and were accepted. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The past week's arrivals of English Wheat coastwise were on a liberal scale ; but for the most part, owing to the pre vailing damp weather, somewhat out of condition. The first supply of Barley of home produce, as well as flour, was large—that of most other articles small, if we except that of Peas. Fresh up, only a moderate quantity of English Wheat was received coastwise, and by land-carriage and sam • ple, yet the stands were somewhat heavily supplied with last week's unsold qualities. Notwithstanding there was a full average number of buyers in attendance, the Wheat trade was, on the whole, dull. However, the finest qualities of both Red and White sold at about stationary prices ; but all other descriptions suffered a decline of from is to fully 2s per quarter. At the close of the market several parcels in bulk were unsold. Since our last, scarcely any foreign Wheat has been entered at the 15s duty ; the importers feeling confident that the late upward movement in the value of \Vheat must have the effect of producing a lower impost. We had, therefore, to-day, comparatively few samples on show, and for which full prices were de manded. This checked business, which was principally con fined to small parcels, which were mostly taken at a trifle below last Monday's currencies. Corn, under lock, was heavy, yet the holders would not reduce their demands. The additions to the stock have been very trifling during the last ten days. Of English Barley we had a large quantity on offer, upwards of 7,000 quarters having come to hand in the week just con cluded. The finest malting kinds were held at fully previous currencies, but the secondary qualities, as well as the grinding and distilling sorts, declined from is to 2s per quarter. Very little free Foreign Barley was brought forward. The quan tity of Malt on show was tolerably goed. The best parcels sold steadily, at fully the prices paid on this day se'nnight ; but all other kinds hung on hand, though they cannot be considered cheaper. From Ireland only about 2,000 quarters of Oats have come in since Monday ; but from our own coasts an increased supply has reached us. The Oat trade was in a very sluggish state, and the prices were from 6d to Is per cwt. lower than last advised, though our accounts state that the shipments from the various ports continue small. The supply of Beans was tolerably good, while the demand was somewhat inactive, at barely stationary prices. Having a large quantity of Peas on offer, that description of grain ruled very dull, and to effect sales a slight reduction took place in the quotations. A large quantity of Flour being on offer, the flour trade was dull, at barely late rates. Linseed Cakes and Canary Seed were in good request. Other seeds were heavy.

To-day we had on offer 170 foreign Beasts, and 240 Sheep, the whole of which found buyers, at full rates of currency. At the outports, 150 Beasts and Sheep have been received from the Continent. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts, fresh up this morning, were considerably less than those reported on this day se'nnight ; nevertheless, they were seasonably extensive. The attendance of both town and country buyers being large, the demand for the primeA sorts. &c., ruled active, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per lb. In other kinds a full average amount of business was doing, and the rates must be con. sidered the turn higher. From the northern counties we noticed 1,800 Short Horns ; from the eastern counties 300 Scots and Short Horns ; from the western and midland coun ties 500 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds ; from Scotland 150 Home and Polled Scots; and from Ireland 350 beasts, The number of Sheep, though not to say large, were more than adequate to meet the wants cf the trade ; hence the sale for that description of stock was heavy, at, in some in stances, a decline in the quotations of '2d. per Sibs. The Veal trade was very inactive, and the rates suffered an abatement of 2d. per Sibs. In Pigs only a moderate business was doing, yet the quotations were supported.

Although the arrivals of slaughtered Meat fur our markets from distant parts have been somewhat on the increase since this day se'nnight, they have proved by no means large for the season. The supplies of Meat killed in the metropolis having been seasonably good, and the weather comparatively mild, the general demand has ruled heavy, and, in some in stances, the quotations have had a downward tendency, while clearances have not been effected.

This market is steady, and prices are on the advance. SUDDEN DEATH OF A POST-OFFICE MESSENGER. —On Saturday an inquest was held at the Green Gate House, City road, upon James Daniel Holbrove, aged 58, a messenger at the General Post-office, St. Martin's.le-Grand, who dropped suddenly dead in Bunhill-row, on Thursday evening. William Papcott, in the employ of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, stated that shortly before eight, on Thursda y evening, he saw the deceased suddenly fall down, and ran to his assistance, thinking at first that he was merely in a fit. Finding, however, that he was quite cold, and apparently inanimate, witness procured the immediate attend ance of Mr. Smith, a surgeon, but that gentleman, when he saw the deceased, said life was quite extinct, and the deceased was carried to the poliee.station. It aippeared that a silver ticket bear. ing the Post-office mark, being found on the deceased, Matthew Peake, the police-officer employed at the General Post office, was sent for, and identified the deceased as one of the oldest and most respected messengers of that establishment. He had beets in the service twenty nine years, and employed as special messenger to suc cessive Postmasters-General, from .the Duke of Richmond to the present one, the Earl of Lonsdal e. One of the messengers, named Woatford, stated that abou t half-past six on Thursday evening the deceased left him at. the Post-office with official papers, and when going away, said to him, " Mind, if I am not here to morrow the postmaster's. .and other receipts are in my drawer." This was a very unust sal thing for him to ray, and in fact the witness never knew it to occur before. The deceased ap peared in good health, and was of regular habits. He was highly respected at the Post-office. T oe surgeon was of opinion that apoplexy or a disease of the h tart was the cause of death; he could not state precisely without a ; post mortem examination. The deceased, it was stated, was in ye ry good circumstances. He had been thrice married, and had bt it recently buried his last wife. He has left an only daughter corn fortably provided for. The jury . returned a verdict of " Died by t he visitation of God." SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.-- , Da Saturday forenoon an accident, attended with serio as consequences, occurred to Mr. Drake. junior, the builder, residing at Clerkenwell. He was superintending extensive alterations going forward on the premises of Messrs. Midd' leton and Company, the engi neers, of Loman-street, Grays 1-lane, Southwark, when on a high scaffold he fell from a 1 leight of thirty feet, whereby he sustained such serious injury on the skull and arms that he was conveyed to the neater t surgeon, and from thence to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he is now going on favourably. The Marquis of Clanric , trde, accompanied by Lord Dunkellin and Lord Robert de 13i ;ugh, arrived on Monday last at Harewood House, near Oseott, on :a visit to the Earl and Countess of Harewood during the splendid f stivit ies at tha hospitable seat, in celebration of the coining of a=t •of Viscount Le,ceeec Lord William Thynne, Lord Edwin Hill , the Hon. George Cavendish, M.P., and Lady Louisa Cavendisli4, and a distinguished circle, have also arrived at Harewood lloye, to celebrate the late. rclting event , • • LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The 9th of November, so important an era in the civic his tory of the ancient city of London, happening this year to be Sunday, the 10th, was, in due course, set apart for what has been known from time immemorial by the good people cf the metropolis as the " Lord Mayor's Show." At an early hour the eay which was to witness the decadence of one civic mo narch, and the rising sun of another, was ushered in by the ringing of bells and other popular demonstrations of rejoicing. Barriers were thrown across all the thoroughfares that com municated with the Guildhall or the. streets through which the line of procession was to pass ; and the City police, under the superintendence of Mr. Commissioner Harvey, were stationed at suitable distances to preserve order throughout the route. The arrangements within the Guild hall were under the management of the Deputy Sheriffs and a committee of management, and appeared to give general satisfaction to those who had the privilege of entree. About half-past ten o'clock the newly-elected Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Johnson) arrived in the state carriage, and was received, on alighting, with considerable applause. The Sheriffs and the late Lord Mayor arrived about the same time; the splendid, and at the same time chaste and elegant equipages of these civic dignitaries contrasting most advantageously with the large and unwieldy ginger bread carriage in which the City monarch for the coming year had to display himself to his admiring subjects. After partaking of an elegant dejeuner provided for the occasion, the procession formed in front of the Guildhall. On the state carriage driving up to receive the Lord Mayor, a circumstance occurred which might have been attended with serious con sequences. One of the carriage wheels came in contact with a portion of the temporary wooden porch fitted up in front of the Hall, and brought it with a crash to the ground. Fortu nately it did not fall on any of the parties who were crowded beneath to see the company depart, else the result might have been fatal, or at least attended with broken limbs. The detached piece of wood, however, fell within a few inches of them, and was instantly removed by the officers in attend ance. The procession left the front of the Guildhall shortly before twelve o'clock, in the following order : Police Constables to clear the way. The boys belonging to the Royal Marine Society, with banners. Man on horseback bearing the banner of The Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade, 1776.

On leaving the Guildhall, the procession passed through King-street, Upper Thames-street, Arthur-street West, King William-street, Mansion-House-street, the Poultry, Cheapside, St. Paul's Churchyard, Ludgate-street, Ludgate hill,:and New Bridge-street, to:Blackfriars-bridge, where the embarkation took place. Along the whole route, the day being fine, a vast concourse of people had assembled, while nearly every window was occupied by well-dressed females, anxious to get as good a view as possible of the " show." The Lord Mayor elect was received throughout with every demonstration of respect, and occasionally with considerable cheering; not so his predecessor. The populace had not forgot the " unaccountable" alderman, the recent meeting in Walbrook having served to revive their memories. Hence at various points in the route, especially at Walbrook and the junction of Cheapside with St. Paul's churchyard, the ex-Lord Mayor was met with loud hisses and expressions of disrespect. With the exception of these ebul litions of feeling, nothing trai:spired to mar the general har mony and effect of the procession. The embarkation of the Lord Mayor and suite for Westminster took place at one o'clock amidst a discharge of cannon and loud general cheer ing. The effect of the aquatic procession, as seen from Blackfriars-bridge at this moment, was very fine, the river, in addition to the state and City barges, being covered with a vast number of boats, many of which accompanied the pro cession to Westminster-bridge. After the presentation to the judges, and the swearing in of his Lordship at Westminster-hall, the procession returned by water to Blackfriars-bridge, where it debarked and pro ceeded in the same order as before, passing up New Bridge street to the Obelisk, where it was joined by the ambas sadors, her Majesty's Ministers of State, the nobility, judges, Members of Parliament, and other persons of dis tinction invited to the banquet at Guildhall. It then passed up Ludgate-hill, through St. Paul's Churchyard, along by King-street, to its destination. It is said that the Queen has been pleased to bestow a pension of 2001. a year en Lady Mee, the lady of the president of the Royal Academy. The FArl of arrived in town on Thurs day, from Beverley.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,0 0 bales, including 1,200 on speculation. Prices had an op ward tendency. It is said that the Ministers have resolved to a ppoint S Commission to inquire into the extent of the failure of the potato crop in this country as well as Ireland, and also t 0 express an opinion what remedial measures should be ad-OPteu before any Order in Council is issued for the reduction of the duties upon the admission of foreign corn, or of opening the pol e free. Such a course, if decided upon by the Cabinet, 111sst lead to the greatest misery among that larger portion of the Queen's subjects who are already severely pressed by the high prices paid for food, and who unquestionably must suffer sll into s further by the inevitable result of a protracted inqui r y matter whichtis beyond doubt already. The state of the market' for grain and potatoes, for rice, and all cther articles fortel the leading edibles of the millions, sufficiently testify the fse that some remedial measures are instantly required. Tbe season is already :far advanced, and, after so mild 1111 in with autumn, winter will. in all probability, soon set severity. And yet the people are to be told that a Coal: sion is now about being appointed to inquire, while, before any report can be made, famine, with all its conceelt, taut miseries, may desolate the land. If such be t he resin' of the deliberations of the many Cabinet Councils that ha!! sat of late, it may be truly said that they have ended Aisle" in nothing. It is with much satisfaction we find that a subscription be. been set on foot for the purpose of presenting a testiroonisl to Lieutenant Waghorn, for his long-continued , zealess! and highly successful endeavours to demonstrate the feas," , 1 1 , bility (now a great fact) of having communication 10 the East Indies within a month.
