That in order to secure th e b ene fi ts anti . . _ THE KING V. BALLANTINE, ESQ. This was the case in which a writ of Habeas • Corpus had been issued, at the instance of John M. Cording, a pawnbroker, committed by Mr. Bal. lantine, of the Thames Police-office, for a supposed offence under the Pawnbrokers' Act. The par ticulars of the case have been already fully detailed. Mr. Cording had been required to restore a gun which had been pledged with him, but which he alleged he was unable to do, as the gun had been destroyed by a fire which happened at his premises. A complaint was made against him before Mr. Bal lantine, the Magistrate, who committed him under the 14th and 24th sections of the Pawn brokers' Act of the 39th and 40th Geo. 111. , c. 99. A great many objections were now taken to the s'arrant of commitment, and they were argued at considerable length by Sir J. SCARLETT and Mr. FOLLETT, on the part of Mr. Cording. Mr. CAMPBELL, on the part of the Magistrate, was heard in support of the warrant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—No subject of the King is to be restrained of his liberty without a good legal warrant to be shown for his imprisonment. I am not prepared to say that all the objections token to this warrant are not good. It is, however, enough to say that in my opinion there is no power of commitment given by the Act of Parliament, even supposing the destruction of property by fire is such a " loss" as that contemplated by the Act of Parliament.

Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE was of the same opi nion. He could not see, that under the 24th sec tion any power of commitment was given in such a case as this; and he did not think that the Legisla ture meant that the same authority which was given by the 14th section, where the pawnbroker had it in his power to deliver up the pledge, or to pay its value, should exist in a case where the pro perty was lost, or that the Magistrate should have the power to commit without giving the party an opportunity of appealing; and he begged it to be un derstood that he for one did not assent to the doc trine that pawnbrokers could be held responsible for the loss or destruction of property which had occurred without their " default, neglect, or wilful misbehaviour."

FOR the CURE of COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, SHORTNESS of BREATH, &c. &c. W ALTER'S ANISEED PILLS.—The numerous and respectable testimonials daily re ceived of the extraordinary efficacy of the above Pills, in curing the most distressing and long-established diseases of the pulmonary and respiratory organs, induces the Proprietor to recommend them to the notice of those af flicted with the above complaints, conceiving that a Me dicine which has now stood the test of experience for se veral years, cannot be too generally known. They are composed entirely of balsamic vegetable ingredients, and are so speedy in their beneficial effects, that in ordinary cases a few doses have been found sufficient ; and, unlike most Cough Medicines, they neither affect the head, con fine the bowels, nor produce any of the unpleasant sensa tions so frequently complained of. The following Cases are submitted to the public from many in the Proprietor's possession:— K. Boke, of Globe-lane, Mile-end, was perfectly cured of a violent cough, attended with hoarseness, which ren dered his speech inaudible, by taking three or four doses. E. Booley, of Queen -street, Spitalfields, after taking a few doses, was entirely cured of a most inveterate cough, which he had had for many months, and tried almost every thing without success.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.---The world are pretty generally acquainted with the case of 'William Cobbett, which has gone almost the length of the London newspapers, that it will be unnecessary to repeat it here. The following testimonials may serve to confirm the facts of Cobbett's case, alluded to in his " Register " of the 23d of June : " Sir,—While serving the office of first lieutenant of a line -of-battle ship off Toulon, in 1809, I had the misfor tune, through extreme fatigue, to bring on a rupture. Since that period I have tried every description of truss Which came to my knowledge, but I never succeeded in supporting the hernia effectually until 1831, when I pur chased two of your patent trusses; and it is but justice to own that no descent has occurred since I have worn them, and I freely give you liberty to publish this testimonial in favour of your excellent invention.—l am, Sir, yours, obediently, " J.

" Sir,—Having the misfortune to rupture myself several Years ago, I purchased one of Salmon's self-adjusting Trusses, which, although it afforded me considerable relief, did not entirely keep the rupture in its place ; particularly When I had to stand for any length of time, I felt a disa greeable gnawing pain, attended with a bearing down of the hernia, so that I was frequently unable to wear the tr uss. In mentioning to a friend what I suffered, he strongly advised me to try one of your patent, which I d id, and found to my great comfort that it kept up the r upture effectually, without producing any of those painful sensations which I bad endured while wearing the Ball an d Socket Truss, and I can now stand or walk for hours together without the least pain or inconvenience ; in fact, e s Well a s th oug h I never h a d b ee n ruptured.

(From the Times Correspondent.) A great deal of inconvenience has resulted from a blunder in the Act of 2d and 3d of William IV., cap. 96, respecting the employment of the poor. At the last Quarter Sessions at Petworth a great many parish-officers were in attendance, for the purpose of getting the signatures of the Magistrates to the re solutions of the inhabitants for the establishment of a labour-rate, by which they would be enabled to take the labourers off the unprofitable roads, and employ them in the farms. In the parish of Pul. borough alone the expenditure of the poor -rate amounted to 4,4481. Bs. for the last year; and the farmers would, by giving employment to the able bodied men on the roads, considerably reduce that intolerable tax, but the deficiency of the Act presents an insurmountable obstacle, the Magistrates having declared that it is so worded as to be altogether inefficient and unavail able. The consequence is, that the parishioners are compelled to pay a rate which operates most injuriously to them, and, as it were, sanc tions the continuance of the most abject pauperism, amongst men who are competent and inclined to work. The dissatisfaction of the parish is aggra vated by the refusal of the Rector to compound for tithes; and more than one-half of the parish ac tually pay in kind. In the beginning of the year 1,0001. was offered by the parish to the Rev. Gen tleman for tithes, the farmers agreeing to pay the poor arid highway rates, and take the men off the roads, but the proposition was rejected. Many families stay away from church in consequence of this refusal. The monstrous abuse of an unem ployed pauper population has been, it seems, re peatedly attempted to be corrected in Sussex and Surrey, but the efforts have failed for want of a power in the majority of the inhabitants and rate payers to compel the general consent. At Pul borough the parishioners came to the determination that a labour -rate, affecting all tangible property alike, and apportioned after the manner of the ordinary poor-rate, which is iA fact a labour -rate, every assessment for the maintenance of the poor being, under whatever name, a tax upon the com munity for making good the deficiencies in the la bourer's wages, was the least exceptionable mode of obtaining the equal distribution of the burden. They were of opinion that if it appeared in its appli cation to effect any species of property more than the customary poor-rates had done, it was because such property had never yet been made to feel its due share of that exhausting power of pauperism which is always increasing, and which, after having extinguished all profit, threatens to absorb every particle of the farmer's capital and the landlord's rent also. In illustration of the workings of the late miserable plan of procedure, it may be mentioned, that in the year ending March, 1824 , , when the la bourers were distributed in farm labour, the money paid to the unemployed, or for labour on the roads, was 2811. 15s. 6d,, and in 1825, 2601. 4s. 10d., while in the year ending March, 1832, it amounted to 1,8071. 12s. I Id. On u Saturday a monument was erected at Theusligrove, the property of JAMES TURNER, Esq., to the memory of ANDREW HARDIE and JOHN BAIRD, who suffered at Stirling for high treason in 1820. The monu ment is a neat pillar, fluted, and surmounted by an urn, with a wreath and appropriate drapery. It bears the follow ing inscription This monument erected 10th of November, 1832, on the lands of Thrushgrove, the pro perty of JAMES TURNER, Esq. ; where, on the 29th of October, 1816, in spite of every opposition, 40,000 inha bitants of Glasgow first bravely met and petitioned the Legislature for a redress of grievances and for a reform of the representation of the people in the Commons' House of Parliament. Sacred to the memory of ANDREW H A RDIE, aged 28, and JOHN BAIRD, aged 32, who were betrayed by infamous spies and informers, and suffered death at Stirling, Bth of September, 1820, for the cause of Reform now triumphant, 1832." On one side was an epitaph to their memory, written at the time of their execution.-- Glasgow Chronicle. Just as the Court was about to rise, at a late hour, Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER moved for and obtained a rule Nisi for an information in the nature of a quo warranto, to oust Mr. Sampson Kingsford from the office of Mayor of Canterbury. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 15, RAMADGE V. RYAN. This was an action, it will be recollected, brought by the plaintiff, Dr. Ramadge, against Dr. Ryan, the editor of the Medical Journal, to recover damages for a libel published in that paper, imputing to the plaintiff that he, being in attendance upon a young lady who was labouring under an attack of typhus fever, reduced her to such a state of debility by excessive bleeding and leeching, that another physician was obliged to be called in, who refused, however, to consult with Dr. Ramadge, in conse quence of his correspondence with St. John Long, and who being retained, and Dr. Ramadge dismissed, cured the young lady by treatment the very opposite to that pursued by the plaintiff, whereas, in truth, the patient had died under the hands of the other physician. The libel had originally appeared in the Lancet, from ►which it was copied, with a few obser vations, into the defendant's journal. The plaintiff brought actions against the editors of both publica tions, in the first of which, that against the Lancet, he obtained only a farthing damages ; and in the present action, which was tried on the following day, he obtained a verdict for 5001. At the commencement of the present term, Mr. Sergeant Taddy obtained a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, upon the ground, as stated on affidavit, that one of the Jury, who had been an attorney, and whose name had been struck off the roll for fraud and misconduct, stated, ►when leaving the Court at the close of the first trial, in which only a farthing damages had been recovered, that he should be on the Jury on the following day, and he would take care that the verdict should not go the same way, his mind being made up to give heavy damages. Mr. Sergeant 'WILDE and Mr. Sergeant SPAN.. KIE to-day showed cause, and produced affidavits denying the material allegations contained in the affidavits on the other side, particularly that of the Juror himself. —Rule discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 15. EDWARDS V. SOMERS. Mr. PLATT, pursuant to leave, moved, on the part of the defendant, for a rule to set aside the verdict and enter a nonsuit in this case, tried at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Vaughan. The de fendant was the drawer and endorser of a bill of Exchange for 1,0001., upon and accepted by Au gustus M'Donough. It was endorsed to Cooper, and by Cooper endorsed to the plaintiff.—Rule us granted. NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 15. John Muir was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE for a Mr. Wilcox; and supported by Mr. COOKE. The insolvent had been a Manchester warehouse man, aad assistant to a linen-draper, and had resided at Glasgow, in Portland-road, on Ludgate-hill, in Holborn, in Clerkenwell, in Bread-street, in the Debtors' Prison, Whitecross-street, &c. In Decem ber, 1830, h e h ad marr i ed a widow Shrives, of Wil son-street, Fi nsbury. A deed of settlement h a d been executed befor e th e marr iage, by which the furniture, &c., of the widow was secured in her possessio n . I n the course of the exam i nat i on it came out th at t h e i nso l vent had d rawn var i ous bill s of accommodation, and accepted various others to the amount of 400/., for which he had only rec•-ived about 30/. Mr. Wilcox had given value for one of these bills to a Mr. Peacock, who had represented Muir, the acceptor, as an opulent man. He had lost sight of Muir for four years, but at last found him in Whitecross-street Prison. The broker of the Court had been to the houses of No. 2 and 3, (From Chambers' Historical Newspaper.) In his will, Sir Walter first directs his executors (his Avo sons and Mr. Lockhart) to sell his moveable properte at Abbotsford (given back by his creditors in 1830 as a present) to his eldest son at 5,0001., of which sum, 2,0001. to he given to Mr. Charles Scott, as much to Miss Anne Scott, and the remaining thousand to Mrs. Lockhart, in order to maks up her portion (with a like sum given at her marriage) to the same amount as the rest of the junior branches of his family. He then directs, that the future profit of the work entitled " Tales of a Grand father," and certain articles inserted in the An:inals, all of which were lately written for his own imme diate comfort and subsistence, be applied to discharge his debts incurred since the execution of the trust, the sur plus, if any, to go to the trust. He next enumerates the means which he principally depends on for the payment of all his other debts. First, the new edition of his novels, or rather his share in the profits of that edition ; then the similar edition, which was contemplated, of his poems. In the event of these being sufficient to discharge the debts under the trust, the further profits to go towards the redemption of an heritable bond of 10,0001., contracted upon the estate of Abbotsford for the support of Archibald Constable and Company; the still further profits, if any, to be divided among his family. " And if it be thought necessary (the document thus proceeds) that any biographical sketch of the author himself be drawn up, to be attached to the said collection, I do request and entreat my affectionate son-in-law, the said John Gibson Lockhart, who has, during all his connection with me, shown me the duty and kindness of a son, to draw up such a sketch, using in that matter such letters, correspondence, and diaries, as shall he found in my repositories : and I also request the said John Gibson Lockhart to carry on and conclude the publication of nay poetical works as above mentioned, if I shall leave them incomplete, for behoof of the said trust ; and also for the same pur pose, to correct and cut down the Life of Bonaparte to a less size, which may be done with a prospect of considerable advantage, or to suggest some competent person to do so ; and, in general, I name the said John Gibson Lockhart my literary executor, assigning my son, the said Charles Scott, as his assistant, to spare his time as much as pos sible ;"—a recompense, he adds, being rendered to them, either by the trust, or by the assignees under this deed. From the success which has hitherto attended the new edition of his novels, there is not the least reason to doubt that twenty further volumes, to which, at the very least, his whole works must extend, together with the biogra phical sketch alluded to, the interest of which must be very great, will far more than clear off the remaining incum. brances, leaving his estate clear in the possession of his re presentative, with the prospect of considerable wealth to the junior branches of the family. So certain does this prospect appear, that his executors have already been ena bled, by wealthy individual connected with the publica tion, to make offer to the trust-creditors of money to the amount of all their remaining claims, without interest; which it is expected will be taken without hesitation, and a discharge granted. It is further hoped that an exten sion of the copyright will be obtained from Parliament ; in which event, as cheaper editions will hereafter be pub lished, with probably equal success, the children of this illustrious person must ultimately obtain not only comfort and independence, but also a considerable degree of opu. hence. FORMATION OF THE NEW FRENCH MINISTRY. When M. Casimir Perier died, the system of peace and constitutional monarchy appeared to be ills danger. The Ministry were no longer strong enough for the direction of affairs, in par ticular to sustain the discussions in the Cham bers. All reflecting men were of opinion that the best combination would be that which should unite together 'Messrs. Dupin, Thiers, Guizot, and Humann, the four most considerable persons of the majority, and who would have formed what you call in England a Ministry of " all the talents." But this combination could not be effected : the Ministers then in office would not retire in sufficient numbers; and moreover, it could not be expected that NI. Dupin would consent to join a Ministry of which he could not be the sole actor. The Ministers accordingly made proposals to M. Dupin alone, and the post of Keeper of the Seals was offered him. M. Dupin declared that he would be President of the Council, and even have besides the Mi nistry of the Interior or that of Foreign Affairs. Now M. Dupin, a celebrated lawyer, is a pro per person enough to be Keeper of the Seals. As an eloquent speaker, full of animation, of restless energy, dealing in personalities with a fearful power, he might very well be the leader in the Chamber of Deputies; but he could by no means be considered a real statesman,—a person capable of directing a Government,—in short, a Prime Minister. Seeing him twice, would be sufficient to convince any man of the inconceivable mobility of his ideas respecting men and things. On the other hand, Marshal Soult declared that he would not consent to submit to the presidency of M. Dupin, and the Marshal possesses, in an eminent degree, the confidence of the army, and especially of the Generals. All obey him without a murmur; and in France, at the present time, a very consi derable degree of power is attained by one who can make himself obeyed ; real difficulty and true courage consist in creating power. The pretensions of M. Dupin were, therefore, rejected. All this occurred at the end of May. At the close of June the same negotiations were renewed. On this occasion M. Dupin appeared more accommodating. At one moment he con sented to be only Keeper of the Seals, but those of his friends who were eager to see him Prime Minister, so as to display his power, persuaded him to retract, and his refusal, after a consent expressed by the King himself, led to a sort of scene at St. Cloud, and made, as you well know, much noise at the time. There was a grand political dinner at St. Cloud, and the King, irritated at so many contradictions, forbad M. Dupin his presence with an unusual degree of severity. The time, however, policy, and the great services of M. Dupin, prevented a com plete rupture, and the Ministry continued its efforts to draw him into its ranks. During this time, men who have not the courage to struggle long against faction —those who wished to interpose between the republican party and the system of the 13th of March—atransaction which could succeed only at the expense of the monarchy —in short, the editors of the Constitutionnel and the Temps, who pledged themselves to M. Dupin to render him as popular as he was under the Restoration, combined their endeavours to throw him into the Opposition, or at least to gain him to an ambiguous and mixed system, which would throw France insensibly into a. position altogether different from that which *he his re tained since the revolution of 1830.. B e t v ;i en " t hese two opposite species of solicitations M. Dupin long hesitated. He quitted Paris, and' thus left the Ministry undecided abont the - future. This uncertainty, and the absence of the chief in the Council, soon led to divisions. MM. Louis, Barthe, and De Rigny, declared for the accession of M. Dupin, at almost any price. MM. de Montalivet and d'Argout opp( trd it. This schism paralyzed the action of Government, and it was at that period that the Ministerial system incurred the greatest dan gers. Towards the end of September, however, M. Dupin returned to Paris ; new proposals were made to him; he then consented to be Mir 'lister of Justice, but the next day he demanded the removal of MM. Sebastiani and de Morita. livet. He was supported by the four Ministers, but this demand was refused by the King, and M. Dupin quitted Paris once more. The Ministry, totally decomposed, felt that its existence could not be prolonged. They thought then of MM. Thiers and Guizot, who d,iclared they were ready to take office with M. Dupin, or to support, without being Minis ters, as they had done, any system of Govern ment which should be a continuation of that of the 13th of March. Two deputies were then despatched, friends of M. Dupin, two important persons in the majority, MM. Persil and Gan. neron, to negotiate on this basis with M. Dupin, who was then in the country, in the department of the Nievre. The negotiation failed. M. Dupin stipulated for a President of the Courteii i and persisted in requiring the retirement of Mil 4.. Sebastiani and de Montalivet. In this junc ture, recourse was had to M. Thiers: he was offered to be added alone to the disjointed Mi nistry, which should receive no other modifica ti.n. But M. Thiers had too much good sense and judgment to accept so feeble and inefficient a coalition : he proposed M. Guizot : this coali tion did not succeed ; all was hesitation. Time, however, pressed; the country had been a fort night, and even three weeks, without, in fact, any kind of Administration; such a state of things could not last without very serious inconvenience. It was then agreed that overtures should be made to the Duke de Broglie, whose name was then pronounced for the first time, and to M. Hu mann. This arrangement led to the retirement of General Sebastiani,who indeed had for some dm@ past felt that the illstate of his health would keep him from the tribune of the Chambers. It was further decided that there should be a President of the Council, and that the President should be Marshal Soult. Nothing remained but to make arrangements with the Duke de Broglie and M. Humann, both of whom were absent from Paris. M. Cousin, the celebrated Professor of Philoso phy, and M. de Remusat, the deputy, particular friends of M. Casimir Perier, were charged with letters to them from the King, to lay before them the situation of affairs, and to bring them to Paris. M. Cousin met with M. Humann at Baden. The Duke de Broglie, who was at his estate in Normandy, arrived the first. He con sented to form part of the new Ministry, but he expressed a wish for a large addition, which might impart to the Cabinet more homogeneousness, concentration, and authority: he demanded the admission of his political and personal friend M. Guizot, besides MM. Thiers and Humann. The latter likewise signified his acceptance, which was subordinate to that of the Duke de Broglie. At this the King fancied he perceived some dif ficulties, and he thought it would be better, be fore adopting this proposal, to make a last at tempt upon M. Dupin,--an attempt of which no one could desire the success more than MM. de Broglie, Guizot, Thiers, and Humann, and which had great chance of success, since the Ministry had now a President, and MM. Mon talivet and Sebastiani had resigned ; since, in short, the King was ready to assent to all that M. Dupin had required in his interview, with him, and in his conference with MM. Persil and Ganneron. Marshal Soult was accordingly charged to communicate these new circumstances to M. Dupin, advertising him that the King had con fided to him the task of composing a new Ca binet, and of renewing to him, at the same time, the offer, which had been already several times made to him, of the Portfolio of the Minister of Justice. An aide-de-camp of the Marshal con veyed this message to M. Dupin, and returned to Paris immediately with his reply, which was in the negative. M. Dupin explained the grounds of his refusal. He conceived that his position rendered him more useful out of the Ministry than in it, to which, in other respects, he would not refuse his adhesion ; on the con trary, he declared that he persisted in his at tachment to the system which had been pursued for the last two years. The refusal of M. Dupin had not, as you perceive, any character of hostility about it, nor even of ill-will. The King hesitated no longer ; he had fulfilled strictly his duty as a constitutional monarch, — he had applied to all the influential persons of the majority of the Chambers—he had made a sacrifice of whatever appeared to displease them —all the concessions which were asked he had granted, without even taking umbrage at want of etiquette ; he recurred, therefore, to M. Broglie, and accepted the combination, by which the Noble Duke came in with MM. Guizot, Thiers, and liumann. This was definitively arranged in the night of the 10th of October, and the Aloniteur of the 11th announced the new com•' position of the Cabinet. N. WORSTED.—BLOMFIELD, tne nistortan of Norfolk, thinks that a colony of Flemings settled, as early as the reign of thorny 11., at Worsted, a village in that county, and immortalised its name by their manufacture. It soon reached Norwich, though not conspicuous till the reign of EDWARD I.—Mirror. There is nothing so very wonderful in the rite Queen's Counsel having risen to the highest honours of their profession. The same occurred in the celebrated case of HARKEN HASTINGS. The results only prove that in both instances the parties had the good fortune to select the ablest advocates. A few evenings ago the inhabitants of Cahors, in the Lot, were suddenly alarmed by cries o f , 4 Murder ;" and it was discovered that Mademoiselle En!ssac, daugh. ter of a respectable family, had been assassinated by her lover, who had induced her to walk with him a short distance on the banks of the river. At the moment he was committing the crime a woman, attracted by the cries of the victim, came towards the spot, but the murderer cried, " Stop ! advance not a step further : she dies a virgin !" Soon afterwards some officers of the customs, called by the w oman, came and f oun d the villain still holding the body in his arms, upon which he exclaimed, I a l so am dying : the knife which has entered the bo som of PAULINE has been plunged into my own. We had mutually agreed to destroy ourselves. You who sur round me go to my father, and tell him to fulfil the en gagements into which I have entered. Know that I pro fess the doctrines of the St. Sirnonians, and that I die a republican." The wretch was seized and conveyed to an hospital, where in four days, his wounds, which were slight, were completely healed. No motive for his con duct is apparent. Many letters written by him have been found, threatening death ; but there is every reason to be lieve that the young lady did not give her c )n:ent to desperate act.—French Paper.
