THE CHOLERA. IN LONDON. The greatest alarm to-d , vailed y anay in westmin s t e r, owing to p a re rumour ester that day a private in the Goode, who was in confinement in te Military Hospital, Rochester-row, had been attacked with cholera. The P o rt reached the ears of the Central Board of Health this twain, and an immediate consultation was held upon the %Ned. A communication was sent to the medical gen tleman of the Hospital, who made his repot t of the symp toms ne discovered in his patient to the Board of Health, and Dr. Gibson and Dr. DLun were directed to visit the afflicted man, and make their report thereon. At two o'clock the abov e medical gentlemen returned, and made tie following official communication : " From the statements of Drs. Dams and Gibson to the Central Board of Health, there is no reasen to believe that the case of private Webb, of the. Guards (alluded to, in t he public prints) was one of Asiatic cholera. (Signed) 4 , W. MACLEAN, S'eretarv." CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE, GATES HEAD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, .JAN. 14. _ . . The cholera, which has been gradually declining in New castle, since the sth inst., appeals, by the report of this d dY, to have slightly rallied. By it we are informed, there are 20 new cases, 11 recoveries, and one death. But a considerable part of the 20 new cases, I under- Stand, belong, not to this town, but to the township of Byker and the township of Westgate. Nothing can he More absurd than the conduct of the Board of Health of Newcastle, with reference to their reports. They at first included the Byker cases in the report for this town with out m king any distinction—then for a few days they spe cified how many of the new cases, and how many of the whole cases remaining, were in the township of Byker. } 'Oe some time past there has been no discrimination, so that Newcastle has been obliged to bear a character of Pestilence which it did not deserve. When the reports raised to state what number of the cases belonged to Byker the public were naturally led to infer none be !coked to it—a conclusion directly opposed to truth. It has been understood here for some days past, that the vil lages, both above and below Newcastle, where the cholera has made its appearance, were henceforth to be comprised in separate district reports. lam told this is now done. But of what use is it if the information is to be withheld from the public? It is possible you may receive the dis trict reports in London, but . tbe people in Newcastle, who are most interested, are not favoured with a sight of them. Th e (Loewe, I know, is raging with great virulence in Villages both up and down the river. At Newborn, above Newcastle, considering the size• of the pare, it has been attended with as great mortality as at Gateshead, or greater, in proportion t 3 its inhabitants. At Newcastle We are comparatively easy, for though we now and then hear of persons being hurried out of existence who, a few hours before were apparently in perfect health, yet they ere for the most part not only poor, often ill fed, often dissipate!, almost always ill lodged, anti living in impute air, but they are not known beyond their own immediate connections. This will generally be the case in large towns. If we saw a list of all the names of persons who have died of cholera in this town, we should be able to recognize very few of them. The case is very different in Newburn and other villages. There every one is known to all the inhabitants, and the consternation which every euccessive death produces is much greater on that account than it would otherwise be. The disease is very virulent also at Walker and Howden, villages on the river side, be tween this town and Shields—virulent, not in the number of eases only, but in their malignity. At Walker, for in stance, a few days ago, an old woman in going from one house to another was struck down by the cholera as if by a stroke of paralysis. On Thursday night last a strong, healthy man, a blacksmith, at Walker, was seized with the disease at nine o'clock, and the next morning, that is Yesterday morning, at half-past four, he was a corpse. He had left his work at six o'clock in the evening quite well, Went borne, and smoked his pipe as usual. . . I hear a case of cholera has occurred in a child at Prest- Wick, near Ponteland, six or seven miles from Newcastle. The disease, as far as I can learn, is only virulent in the villages at the river side. It is much milder than it was both in Newcastle and ,Gateshead. I aril glad to inform You that Watty, the Captain of the Jean, of Aberdeen, Whom I mentioned in a former letter as being carried in the blue stage to the hospital at the Old Castle, is going on very favourably, and is, I believe, considered out of danger. At Gateshead there are five new cases, five recoveries, one death, and fifteen cases remaining. P.S. You have doubtless heard there is a case of cho lera at Grantham ; a letter has reached this town to-day to that effect. The following is a copy of a circular from the Chanc.llor of the Exchequer, issued on Monday, among the Ministerial Members :--" Lord ALTHOBP presents Lis compliments to Mr. —, and takes the liberty of re. Minding him that the House meets, for the despatch of business, on Tuesday, the 17th inst., and that the Com mittee on the English Reform Bill is positively fired for Friday, the 20th January.--January 9, 1832." Mr. BRAINE, surgeon to the St. James's Infirmary, and Mr. Dowmaic, jun., of Hammersmith, are gone to Newcastle and Gateshead, to investigate the nature of the cholera prevailing there, and to ascertain the Most successful mode that has yet been adopted of treating the same. They are expected to be absent about a fortnight. THE CHOLERA ALLEGED TO BE IN LON -1)°11.--Ruritnurs have been afloat for some days that cases of malignant cholera have occurred in London ; one in the Parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden--the other in Bucking ham -street, Strand ; in both of which cases death had ensued. But as no report had been made to the Medical Council, implicit credit was not attached to the reports, although alluded to by the Magistrates at Bow-street. On Friday afternoon, however, a soldier was seized with spasms and other indications of the disease in its most painful f orm, and he was removed to the Military Hospital, Rochester -row, Westminster, where on examination by Jonaasoar and other medical men, no doubt was enter tained of the character of the disease. Ail the patien is in the Hospital capable of being moved were in consequence sent away, to prevent the spreading of the infection, and the usual remedies were applied to the invalid, with some success. Although not out of danger on Saturday, he was pronounced better. The man had been under arrest, and had been kept on low diet. PECULIARITIES WITH REGARD TO CHO LERA.—The proportion of mankind susceptible of cholera seems to be decidedly smaller than holds good with respect to small pox, plague, or other malignant epidemic or con tagious diseases ; we know of no data, however, on which any rational calculation as to the relative numbers can be founded. Then there are other certain peculiarities, which are distinctly traceable with regard to cholera ; thus . children, though not entirely exempt, are much less liable to it than adults ; women, too, according to general ob servation, are less susceptible than lanai, a circumstance which shows that something more than relative degrees of strength must be taken into the account. But again, in all countries prostitutes have suffered very severely, proving that depravity is the most powerful ally to cholera in either sex alike. There are differences between most writers on nertain circumstances connected with the disease, but on this point they all agree—intemperance gives a claim to th e pestilence which it never overlooks ; in every town and every district, from the Ganges to the Wear, the drunkard has been the object of its earliest attack, and its most ruthless visitation. Nor was this principle ever more conspicuously illustrated than by the occurrence at Gateshead, where intoxication, which was indulged in to a frightful extent on Christmas day, accompanied by a strong breeze blowing from the north and over Newcastle, where the disease existed, was followed by the lamentable irruption of cholera which has been so often alluded to.— afedieal Gazette. TH E • DORSETSHIRE ELECTION.--- 44 It appears that Mr. PONSONBY will be at last the sitting Aletnber for Dorsetshire. The Anti-reformers were a little premature, both in and out of Parliament, in their statements that the Globe had misrepresented the state of Public feeling in that county. It took pains to ascertain what it really was ; and if the Tories had profited by our • o bservations, they would have saved themselves both ex- Pence and mortification." The facts are these—ASHLEY started for Dorsetshire with a promise that all his elec ti°ll expences would be defrayed by the Charles-street l e : l mmittee, and like every other person who trusted it, he al been deceived. The expenses of a contest extending t ° near three weeks could never be less than 25,0001. s here is no humbug about us, and we state the fact, e qually known to both Whig and Tory candidates, that 'ess money will not do. Out of this the Charles-street Peo ple gave to ASHLEY, in two instalments, 12,0001. leav- L jn g him t o p a y th e r e mainder, about 13,0001., as well as Il e Could. ASHLEY very naturally dislikes adding the ex- Pellet's of a p e tition to the money for which he is already and therefore declines to oppose PONSONBY before a Committee. This is the whole secret. The Charles-street Set have d one th e T or y cause infinite mischief, and we may 'all foul o f th em ye t. We wish somebody would give us a hint as to the amount of their funds, and the way they 'Were got rid of. We know something about it ourselves.

The French Papers of Saturday have been received, by which we are glad to perceive that a considerable rise has taken place in the Funds —the Five per Cents. having closed at 96f. 20c., the Threes at 66f. 60c. The Chamber of Deputies, after having dis posed of the Royal Palaces, came to a decision respecting the amount of money to be given to the KING. It may be remembered that Lours PHILIP asked eighteen millions of francs— being the same amount as voted by the Mi nistry of M. LAFITTE : M. PERIER was fearful the Chamber would not grant so large a sum, and accordingly proposed fourteen millions —but the Chamber, at the instance of ODILLON BARROT, rejected the Minister's proposal, and granted a Civil List of only twelve millions ! This is a subject which Louis PHILIP cannot fail to understand, however much he may have misconceived the spirit and tendency of the revo lution of July. Paris was tranquil on Saturday, and public BRISTOL, JAN. 15. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. fear the proximate causes of the continuance of the late outrages, are destined to obscurity from the melan choly catastrophe which has just taken place. Although an inhabitant of Bristol, I was absent during the whole of the riots, but both before and since I have endeavoured to keep my mind free from the party passion (for it deserv, s no milder term) which has latterly reigned here. -I have observed the workings of popular feeling—l have weighed causes and consequences—and 1 have been amongst all atsses, collecting evidence for the Committee of Inquiry. The result of the whole I give you. It cannot be doubted that the primary cause of the tragedy enacted in this city was the attempt to force an unpopular political Judge on the people, at a moment of unparalleled excitement ; and let all authorities hereby learn that no persons or measures can with impunity, be compulsorily thrust on the great majority, whether that majority be classed with the high or low. The utmost efforts of the Ma gistrates here could obtain no voluntary special con stables to escort Sir Charles Wetherell, hut there has been so difficulty in obtaining an army of them front amongst the most respectable inhabitants of the city, to rally round the Judge of the Special Commission ; and I have no hesi tation in saying that if Sir Charles Wetherell had been in clu4ed in it, the peace of the city could not have been pre served even by all the military which are at present in it, and that few or none of the inhabitants would, in that case, have offered their services. To go seriatim through the late proceedings—We have been told by the Judges that the law of the land not only permits but compels individuals to act in suppressing a riot, even without waiting the autho rity of the Magistrates. At the moment this charge was deli vered, there was a practical commentary on it exhibited in the person of Captain Lewis, who was then in gaol for thus act ing according to law; the consequences to him were, con cealment for some time, imprisonment, and a very consi derable expense in defending himself, and at last he is ac quitted honourably (as he really deserved) for having unintentionially shot a boy. With this example before our eyes, I presume that neither Captain Lewis, n-r any one else, will again venture to act in a similar case, without the most decisive authority of a Nlagistrate. With respect to the tnilit try proceedings, they appear to be most singular and unaccountable. The unfortunate Colonel Brereton, with the Dragoons, would not act— Captain Codrington, with his troop of yeomanry, did not act—and Captain Shute, of another yeomanry corps, could not act, for a very good reason, because his men in gene ral would not join hint. I can scarcely believe that per sonal fear had any influence on the parties. Is it possible that they could have had any political bias, or was it mis taken humanity? With respect to the first named, lam clearly of opinion, from evidence in my possession (how ever grating the assertion may be to military eyes and ears), that Major-General Pearson was perfectly correct in saying, in a note to Colonel Brereton, " that from the overpowering nature of the mob the safety of the small military force employed would have been endangered ;" and also that the latter had every reason to state, in a let ter to Lord Fitzroy Somerset, that " if the troops had been repulsed the rioters would have fired the shipping and attacked the Bank." I believe the truth to be, that at one period the small military force had no chance whatever with the mob—this military men dare not acknowledge ; and the mob at last was conquered principally by fatigue and liquor— "Le combat finit faute de combattants." _ Whether or not the problem proposed by Sir C. Dalbi is can now be solved, time alone will determine, viz, that this trial would necessarily bring before the Court the question as to what co-operation should exist between the civil and military authorities, when riots of so serious a character occur ; and he tightly says, that " on the proper under standing of this question, all that was valuable to a civi lized community in some degree depended." Front the whole, however, we learn this lesson, which all in power ought duly to weigh, that unless the public authorities carry with them confidence and the good will of their fellow-citiz , ns, they are unable to subdue a riot by either civil or military means, and that the latter ought never to be employed but when the magistrates have ample cause (if such ever exists) to " Cry havoc ! and let slip the dogs of war." A soldier should never be called on for exhibition, but for action. And is the tragedy yet concluded? An unknown num ber have died by the fires themselves created—fi%e are des tined to perish in satisfaction of the law, and one has laid violent hands on himself. Alas ! alas ! is our country ever to continue thus from century to century at mutual enmity—is one portion of its citizens always to be opposed to the other? I will not believe it— " There is something rotten in the state of Denmark." A country exists where there are no riotings or burn ing—no wars or rumours of wars—a light is shining from the west, giving us hopes that a sun of splendour will gradually rise on, and show us the true road to universal contentment, and your Sun is pointinz the way.

The Chronicle of this morning has the follow lig paragraph : " We are informed from a source that has never yet de ceived us, that there has not been the slightest inison,ler standing between Lord I'ALMERSTON and Prince TALLEY.. RAND, either with relation to the destruction of the 13,1- gian fortresses or any other subject. The Ministers of the five Porvers appointed to effect the amicable arrangement between Belgium and Holland are in perfcct amity with each other." We are glad to hear this, and sincerely trust it may be true, for nothing is at this moment so im portant as the maintenance ofa good understanding between England and France. It is well known that if the Tories could get into power, of which, thank Heaven ! there is no chance, their first act would be to embroil this country in a war with France. Indeed they have been already trying their underhand tricks with those continental Stites forming the Holy Alliance to gain that object ; but the firmness of France and England has hitherto defeated their machinations. The n on-ratification of the Belgic treaty is wholly attributable to misrepre sentation at home, and insincerity abroad. The Tories still place their faith (forlorn hope !) in the chapter of accidents, to strangle the Reform Btll ; and their old Allies—" the right divine to govern wrong" worthies—hope that the game of delay may contribute to the same desirable end ; but they must and will be disappointed. In another part of our Paper will be found a long and elaborate letter on the subject of Irish Poor Laws, addressed to Mr. O'Co N NELL by Dr. DOYLE. The Reverend Prelate professes to be a staunch advocate for the introduction of these laws into Ireland, as being the only effectual means of ameliorating the condition of the poor. But they will also have the effect of touching the rich absentees, who are impervious to all appeals save those made to the pocket, for which reason we have always advocated the necessity of introducing a modified system of Poor Laws into the sister country. Dr. DOYLE'S letter will be perused with much interest ; the more so, from the fear less, but perfectly decorous manner in which it strips bare all the sophistries of O'CONNELL on the subject of the Poor Laws. The arch agitator has also, it will be perceived, received a trimming, of no very gentle character, from his old friend Lord CLONCURRY, who, we cannot but think, has applied the branding iron with much justice. We regret to learn that on Saturday morning early a very serious fire broke out in Queen street, Glasgow. At six o'clock in the morning (the hour when the mail leaves) five or six large houses had been consumed, and the ravages of the fire were then spreading, according to our correspondent's letter, in a fearful manner. The Austrian Observer contains the firman of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, on the subject of his dispute with the PACHA of Egypt. The for mer adroitly puts himself forward as a sort of arbitrator on the claims of two contending par ties, instead:of a Sovereign about to take vengeance on a rebellious vassal : IMPERIAL FIRMAN. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. I.—The conduct of the Vizier Selim Pacha, late Governor of Damascus, having excited suspicion and alarm in the inhabitants of that city, dis turbances broke out there. Now as these disorders, al ways injurious to the welfare of our subjects, are espe cially prejudicial in that country, where it is essential to provide for the security of the Alahometan pilgrims, we have appointed Ali Pacha, of Ca ramania, to take the place of the said Pacha. But as he could not remain there so easily as was requisite, and we yet desired that order should be restored without delay, and that every thing should be prepared for the pilgrims, we despatched Hiramet, one of our Kapidgi Baschis, thither, as Deputy-Governor, with orders to proceed to his destination as speedily as possible. Before the news of these resolutions could reach Da mascus, some assassins carried their audacity so far as to put Selim Pacha to death. After these events a report reached us, that in consequence of some differences that had arisen between Ali Pacha of Egypt and Abdallah Pacha, Governor of St. Jean d'Acre, the former, without having received any instructions from us, has presumed to send troops on the road from El Atisch, and ships against St. Jean d'Acre. As tranquillity and public order are objects of our most anxious care, all our subjects must conform to our supreme will. The two Pachas have disregarded this principle, and have persevered in a contest which threatens the effusion of Mahomedan blood, and exposes the subjects confided to us by Providence to great misfortunes. Though this conduct was contrary to the holy laws and to our Imperial will, since these two Paellas are invested with the confidence of our Government, we have resolved, in order to spare them an unhappy end in this world, as well as in the next, and to prevent the consequences, to in vestigate the reciprocal complaints of the two Paellas, and ordered them to lay the causes of them at the foot of our throne, to be decided as circumstances shall require. For this purpose we have appointed Commissioners from the Ministers of the Empire and sent them to each of the two Pachas, with instructions to give them the letters,whieh direct them what they have to do after they receive them. They will give to Mehemid Ali Pacha strict injunc tions immediately to withdraw his troops and make them return to Alexandria, and to give Abdallah Pacha direc tions not to meddle in future with things which concern only the Government at Alexandria. We have likewise sent one of our Ministers, invested with full powers, to Damascus, as some wicked persons of the lowest class of people have there been guilty of the crime of murdering a vizier, and it was necessary to send troops against them, and to subject the guilty to exemplary punishment. We have, however, ordered, that all mea sures shall he taken not to confound the innocent with them, but that they shall be spared as they deserve. Far ther care is to be taken to protect the pilgrims against every kind of injury, and to make them respected by the inhabi tants. In a word, the authors of the crimes will be pu nished, and the Pachas will restore order, which the doers have disturbed. When the latter submit to mani fest their repentance by engaging to provide for the com plete subsistence and security of the pilgrims, the voice of c l e mency may then be heard. But they must immediately return to complete ob,dience. In our character of head and protector of t he Mussul man religion, and according to a verse of the Coran. every one is bound fully and implicitly to obey our com mands. The submission of the two Pachas must be the more prompt, as they both enjoy our especial favour, and fill the most honourable posts in our empire. We also expect from the inhabitants of Damascus that, in grateful acknowledgment of the care which their Sovereign dis plays to spare their city and property, they will, on the arrival of our envoys, conduct themselves in a manner conformable to our will, and to the commands given them. But if, on the contrary, misled by perfidious in sinuations they should persevere in their error, and not renounce their purpose of causing the blood of Mussulmen to be shed, we shall resolve to employ measures to inflict on them a terrible and exemplary punish. ment. All you intendants, judges, Lc. who now know our supreme will with respect to what passes in the cities of Damascus and Alexandria, we send you the present firman that you may execute our commands When p.O have meditated and understood its contents,. you will in expect , tion of our farther orders, immediately think of executing the instructions given you without de lay, and not take on yourselves to act in any other man ner. Firrnans on the same subject have been sent to the judges, mutselims. notables, and officers of the islands of Chios, Rhodes, Myt-lene, Stancho, and Cyprus, and those of the cities of Smyrna, Bodroun, and Adalia, on the coast of Asia, of the Pachaliks of Aleppo, Seide, and Tripoli in Syria, of the Sandiacks of Jerusalem, Naplour, Adana, Faraus, and the dependent districts.

On Friday the Noble 'Earl, accompanied by Lord FALKLAND, enjoyed the sports of the field, with many others, after the Brighton hariers.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Quebec Papers to the 14th of December, and Montrea Papers to the 16th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Quebec Papers.) The scheme which Colonel Elliott hasbrought forward in the Assembly of Upper Canada, for annexing Montreal to that province, appears to be highly popular with all classes there. The only point of difference is whether it would not be better to ask for the Isle of Jesus, rather thin for the city of Montreal. The Hudson, for a considerable distance below Albany, was covered with ice, the steam-boat got up, although with difficulty. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, UPPER CANADA. The address to his Excellency, in reply to his speech from the throne, was read a third time and passed, but a considerable discussion took place upon the late Act of the Imperial Parliament, in regard to free trade. The address was adopted by a majority of 13. (From the Montreal Papers.)

From the American Papers received this morning : NAVY DEPA RTMENT. —Extra CE of a letter from Mister Commandant Kennon, commanding the United States sloop of war, Vandelour, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Lynn, Haven Bay, December 14. " The whole of Brazil is in a state of tumult, and con tinual eruptions, &c. may be expected to occur, particu• larly among the soldiers, who are no doubt instigated by persons of higher rank. This is made more apparent by the circumstances of their never molesting the foreigners who reside in the country, or indeed any one except the old Portuguese, as they are termed, they being particularly obnoxious to the Brazilians, whose aim is to drive them from the country." Accounts from Vienna state that the son of Napoleon is on the eve of marriage to the daughter of the Archduke Charles. THZ FUNDS.

HALF-PAST ONE. The Funds, which were looking up in the early part of the morning, have since receded one-half per cent. Con sols have been fluctuating during the morning from 84 down to 84i to I for the account, at present they are 84 buyers. The heaviness of the market is first attributed to certain persons realizing their profits ; second, to the local state of the country, and particular the great distress at Macclesfield in the silk trade ; also the meeting of Parliament, with the expected struggle on the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. In regard to foreign political events we have none at present, The only information we have is from Berlin, which states that Russia has made a treaty witk the Porte ; if this is true, it will greatly ope rate against the Pacha of Egypt.

STATE OP TRADE AT OLDHAM.—The fustian, check, and silk weaving branches of trade are im proving here, as respects the quantity of work given out, with a trifling advance for some descriptions of fustian; those weavers who were lately destitute of work are now pretty generally employed, and their wretched condition is in some degree alleviated,— Manchester Guardian. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY,) His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied up to the time of our reporter leaving with hearing causes of no interest, except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Causes, exceptions, and further directions, of no public interest, occupied his Honour the VIOE-CHANCELLOR the whole morning. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) SANDERS V. ASHTON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit in this case should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had obtained a patent for an improved mode of manufacturing buttons, against the de fendant for an infringement of the patent. In the year 1813 the plaintiff obtained a patent for making buttons, almost by a single process or operation ; in 1825, he gut another patent, having discovered a new mode of making a flexible shank, and thus making the whole button by one operation. The defendant had infringed this latter patent, and upon the trial his detente was. that the flexible shank was an old operation, in existence long before the plaintiff's patent. The Atiot ney-Gene lal then described the whole of the mechanical process in the manufacture of the plaintiff's buti,ns, and said that although it was true, that flexible sh,-,nks were formeey in existence, the one adopted by the plain tiff was essentially different from and a great improvement upon that old plan. Their Lordships having consulted together, The LORD CHIEF JU S TICE observed, that the buttons manufactured by the plaintiff were c ,, rtailly of a very beautiful description; but as it was exe , ,hugly difficult foe the Court to understand the nature of th, v.iritma operations, it would be better for the plaintiff to furni , h the Court with specifications of his two patents, and :or the defendant to produce a button made with the old flexible shank. The Court would then consider whether it would be proper to grant the application. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir JAMES SCA KLETT [DOV,Ii to file a criminal in formation against Samuel Harris, Esq., a Magistrat,, f the county of Pembroke, on account of hi, conduct to wards Mr. David Harris. The application was made upon a variety of affidavits, and the case arose out of the last election for the county of Pembroke. Previous to that election Mr. S. Harris wrote to his lan'llo'd, Mr. John Harris, of Fishguard, the father of Mr David Harris, and who had considerable landed property, re questing him to exert his influence with his tenants to vote in favour of Mr. Greville, whose cau , e was that of " the King and Constitution." Lord TENTERDEN observed there were three perso,,s of the name of Hai ris. Sir J. SCARLETT said there were several, but he would distinguish the.o by their Christian names. Mr. J. Harris could not vote, being a Custom-house officer, but some of his tenants voted on the opposite side, and a, ong them was his son David Harris, upon which Mr. S. Harris declared he would be revenged upon him. Mr. S. Harris then issued a summons against Mrs. Harris, David. Harris's mother, requiring her to appear before him, a distance of 16 miles, (although there was a Petty Sessions only two miles from her home) to answer a charge of assault upon some female. Mrs. Harris had made an affidavit, in which she denied having assaulted that female, but ad mitted she had had a few words with her. On going before Mr. S. Harris, be told her he was determined to have her son before him for an assault he had committed, and that he would " put him fast enough for polling at the last election." He served David Harris with a warrant for assaulting one Thomas, although D. Harris, by his affidavit, swore he had committed no assault. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to enumerate other circumstances in which Mr. Harris held D. Harris to bail, once for assaulting Thomas, and another time for inso lence to him, Mr. S. Harris, while in the execution of his duty as Magistrate ; that he gave bail in one case, that of Thomas, and was committed to prison until the Sessions upon the other; that at the Sessions he was liberated, neither Mr. S. Harris nor Thomas appearing to prose cute. There were various other circumstances detailed, and it was sworn that not only was Mr. S. Harris the judge in his own case, signing the warrant and the com mitment, but that he wrote to other Magistrates and Com missioners of Taxes to attend the bearing of the charges. The Court granted a rule to show cause. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Baron BOLLAND sat at nisi Arius in this Court to day with Common Juries. His Lordship was occupied with undefended causes up to the time when our reporter left. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) DATCHETT V. WILLIAMS. The above action was tried before the Loan CHIEF BARON, at Westminster, at the sitting after last term. The action was brought by the plaintiff on behalf of the Provident Insurance Company, to recover the sum of 6,0001. on a - policy of insurance on the life of a gentleman named Stevenson, entered into between the Directors of the Provident and those of the Hope Insurance Company. It appeared on the trial, that Mr. Stevenson being rather embarrassed in his pecuniary affairs, insured his life with the plaintiffs for 12,0001. in the early part of 1826. In the June of the same year the policy which formed the ground of the present action, was entered into between these parties. Mr. Stevenson died in France in the year 1829 of a most loathsome disease, when the Hope refused to pay their policy on the ground of fraud, they alleging that Mr. Stevenson was diseased to such a degree as would shorten life, at the time of effecting the said insurance. An im• mense deal of evidence was gone into at the trial, great part of which was very contradictory, but ultimately the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. This morning Mr. ATTORNEY- GENERAL applied for a rule to shew cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. The Court consulted a long time, at last the LORD CHIEF BARON asked that the depositions on each side should be handed up to the Court, when they would give it their serious attention. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STAFFORD V. JONES. Mr. FOLLETT opened the case. Sir J. SCARLETT stated the circumstances, from which it appeared that the plaintiff, who was a solicitor, was driving in :his stanhope along Fenchurch-streer, on the 19th January, 1831, when he was met by a cart driven by the defendant's servant ; the road was very wide, and there was ample room for the cart to pass, but the carter, instead of moving on the proper side of the road, drove against the plaintiff's stanhope, broke the shafts, and other wise damaged it. The coachwaker's charge for repairing it amounted to 131. 95., for which the present action was brought. _ _ _ When the first witness was called, Mr. KELLY, the de fendant's Counsel, offered to allow a verdict against his client for 121, and the mere costs ~ut of pocket. Sir J. ScaeLETT said his client wished to take no ad vantage, and Le would accept the offer. His LORDSHIP thought this proceeding very honourable to both parties. The Jury then found for the plaintiff.—Damages 121. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice BOSANQUET took his seat in this Court this morning, and the Court had a full Bench. rArrnott V. POWELL. This cause was tried before the Chief Justice and a Special Jury in the sittings at Nisi Prius last term. It was an action of assumpsit, and the declaration stated that the defendant, in consideration of forty guineas, pro mised to return one hundred to the plaintiff, in case the Brazilian Mining Shares should be done at one hundred pounds on or before the 31st of Dece i.ber, 1829. A verdict was had for the defendant—damages, 1001. Mr. Serjeant TAnDY now moved fora rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted.... Rule nisi granted. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Their Honours the JUDGES of this Court were occupied for about an hour this morning with swearing in and ad mitting of solicitors. At the rising of the Court the CHIEF JUSTICE inti mated to the Bar that the Judges would be in their pri vate room for an hour or two, and should any gentleman have any motion to make, their Honours would return into Court for the purpose of hearing it. Up to the period of our reporter's leaving, however, their Honours had not again made their appearance. Despatches were received this day at the Co. ion a-office from the Cape of Owl Hope, dated Nov. 14.
