Vary of the Interior of New Granada, by th 4 Bishop of Popayan, then filling the office of Vice• President : " Saxon,-It is with the sincerest pleasure that I in form ynu that on the 9th instant this city incorporate , itself with your ancient state of New Granada, arnids the acclamations of its illustrious inhabitants. " Under such circumstances, I have the honour of sub jetting myself to the orders of that Supreme Government with all due submission and obedience. " God preserve you many years, " SALVADOR, Bishop of Popayan. " Episcopal Palace, Popayan, Feb. 13." We publish a decree of the Convention, which was agreed to at a secret sitting held on the 10th of February, and which authorized the executive department to acknowledge the new State in the Southern part of Colombia, consisting of Ecuador, Asusy, and Guayaquil. This recognition was granted on condition of the three departments mu tually respecting each other's limits, as those limits were settled by the law of 1824 , , and that each should be responsible for that proportion of the debt (whether due to foreigners or persons of their own country), which, as integral portions of the Colombian Republic, they were bound to make good. The above decree is a sufficient answer to the wild and calumnious imputations which have been pro mulgated by General Flores, President of the State of the Ecuador. Another decree of the Convention has directed that the constitutional act should be promulgated in every part of the State of New Granada, by solem nities to which religion gave all its sacred and im pressive sanctions. The authorities of all classes, civil, judicial, political, ecclesiastical, and secular, were directed to take the following oath :—" You make oath to God, and give a promise to your country, that you will obey, protect, and uphold, and will cause to be obeyed, protected, and upheld, the constitution of the State of New Granada, as the same has been sanctioned by the Convention on the 29th February, 1882." Whereupon the persons to whom the oath is tendered shall reply " Thus we swear." It was further ordered that when this ceremony took place in any cathedral, university, college, or religious community, a mass of thanks giving should be celebrated, and a Te Dense sung. STRAND THEATRE.—Last night WaS the first of Mrs. WAYLETC'S exclusive management at this theatre. A new and entertaining Vaudeville was per formed on the occasion, under the title of Damp Beds. The story turns upon the manoeuvres of two military gentlemen to gain possession of a fair lady, surrounded by the usual obstacles of an old father, an intended husband, &c. The adoption of the appearance of two antiquated dames by one of the suitors and his man servant was the most laughter-moving of their freaks.— Mrs. WAYLETT as an intriguing chambermaid looked and sang most charmingly. The piece was completely sue cessful, and was succeeded by The Lady of Munster and John of Paris, both of which were spiritedly acted. The orchestra is considerably improved, and the ensemble of talent, judging from the specimen of last night, will doubtless attract crowded houses. THE EARL OF DUNDONALD.-CULROSS, M AY 16 —The inhabitants of Culross take a lively inte rest in all that concerns that very gallant and popular No bleman, the Earl of DUNDONALD, whose birth-place, Cul roes Abbey, and the princely domains of his ancestors, are In the vicinity of the town ; and, on the 15th instant, a great many of the respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood dined together at the Red Lion Inn, to celebrate the auspicious occasion of his Lordship's restora tion to his honours, and to his rank in the Royal Navy. In the evening, a public meeting was held in the Town-hall, and attended by the Magistrates and Town Council, the Ministers of the parish, several Naval Officers, and, in short, by almost every person in the neighbourhood, when the chairman, Rev. Mr. BALFOUR, after passing a splendid eulogium on the public services and professional character of the Earl of DuNDONALD. read to the meetings congratula tory address to his Lordship, which was with the greatest acclamations approved of. After the usual public toasts had been given, the healths of his Lordship and the Countess of DUNDONALD were severally proposed by the Ch tirman, and drunk with the honours, and every demon stratio❑ of feelings of regard. Several other appropriate toasts were given, and, what with the public procession which followed, bonfires, a liberal distribution of good ale, dances, &c., the greatest hilarity prevailed throughout the burgh on the occasion. LIVERPOOL FRANCHISE BILL.—We hope and trust that Mr. BENETT'S Bill will be carried. The constituency of Liverpool will never be what it ought to be, until the present race of freemen shall have been dis franchised. The declaimers against the 101. qualification ought to pray that the disfranchisement may take place, for there are among the burgesses of Livetpool above 2,000 men who would never be qualified to vote as house holders. The new constituency will be sufficiently nu merous without them, while their "evil communications" would not " corrupt the good manners" of the household v oters.—Lireepool .Albion. It appears that great and extensive good has been effected in Ireland, by the mode in which the ba lance of the subscriptions raised in 1822 has been applied. At the close of the proceedings of the Relief Committee in 1822, a portion of the surplus fund, amounting to about 5 5,000/., was vested in a Board of Directors, un der the sanction of an Act of Parliament, for the perma nent establishment and protection of charitable loans, repayable with interest, and when repaid to be again lent out for the encouragement of industry and the alleviation of distress in Ireland. In connexion with the Board in London, local Boards were established in various parts of Ireland, to which sums suited to the wants of the neigh bourhood were assigned, and placed under their manage ment. With only one exception (that of Leitrim) most favourable reports have been received of the advantages derived by the peasantry from such assistance. In one county about 1,500 loans, averaging not more than 3/. each, were made in twelve months. The rate of interest paid was 6 per cent., but many of the persons assisted were in the habit of paying from 12 to 20 per cent. above the ready money price for the different articles to carry on their occupations. Many who could not obtain credit at all were wholly disabled from the pursuits of honest in dustry. By the aid of the advances from the reserved fund, the small farmer and the cottager have been enabled to purchase manure to fertilize and seed to cultivate his land, while the artisan has been furnished with the means of perfecting some profitable branch of trade, which, with out such assistance, he must have abandoned. A few losses have necessarily been sustained, but in general the sums lent have been regularly returned, and on the whole capital thus employed there has been an accumulation of nearly 4,000/. in interest since it was first directed to this very useful purpose. How TO MAKE A PAIR OF 800T5..--A MOST INGENIOUS TRICK.—A new way to get booted was put in practice yesterday, in Grafton-vreet, by a fellow in the spur of the moment. An exquisite (apparently) en tered a respectable boot-maker's shop, and called for a pair of Ex-ministers (meaning, we suppose, Welling tons); he was instantly cased in the regular shiners, which he lugged on with infinite complacency, declaring they must have been made in a moment of enthusiasm, for they were the artist's most accomplished effort. His hat lay on the counter. A man, doubtless a confederate, rushed in, seized it, and ran off. The boot-maker, thun derstruck at the robber's boldness, besought the beau to pursue the fellow—he did so, and nimbly too, laughing most heartily at the time. Neither of the partners in trade has since been heard of. He left behind him a " shocking bad" pair of shoes, for which he has not yet sent, neither did he say where they should be returned to. —Dublin Times. CHOLERA.—The cholera has now happily de creased so much in Scotland as to render the daily reports from small towns unnecessary. Edinburgh has had but few cases or deaths for the last fornight, and Glasgow and the west country may shortly be expected to present a clean bill of health.—Scotsman. A YOUTHFUL S UICIDE. —Yesterday an in quest was held at . the Black Horse, Kingsland.road, on the body of ELIZA ADAMS, aged thirteen. She was a servant in the neighbourhood, and of a very sullen dis position. On her mist! ess returning lime on Friday, she found the dece,ised out, and a piece of paper on the table, on which was written, " You'll never see me more alive." The same day a gentleman saw her plunge into the Regent's Canal, and she was taken out quite dead.—Temporary Insanity. Yesterday an inquest was held in Mansell street, Goodmates.fieids, on the body of ELISHA SHE' , ~,R D, aged sixty-eight. The deceased had been a gun lock-maker, and had accumulated some property. This he lost by a speculation. Th e circumstance preyed upon hi s mind, and he expressed his fear that he would have to go to a poor-house. In this state of mind he threw himself out of his third-floor window, and killed himself. Verdict--lasanity. FINE ARTS. DEPARTURE OF THE ISRAELITE FROM THE RED SEA. This is an engraving by Quilley, from th( well-known painting by Roberts, which, if w( remember rightly, was exhibited at the Somer set-house Academy, some two or three years since. It is altogether an imitation of Martin, not a servile one, but still sufficiently close to attract the observation of all who look on it. The display of architecture, of which the picturt chiefly consists, is very imposing, but is far from possessing that almost superhuman grandew which Martin so well knows how to throw into his productions. The crowds, too, of departing Israelites are chiefly remarkable for their almost inexhaustible show of numbers, which is not altogether in accordance with the scriptural ac count of the departure of the Ten Tribes, who were numbered by thousands, (and the aggregate amount ascertained,) whereas Mr. Roberts has swelled the host into countless millions, and poured forth such a population as never yet marched out from the gates of city, town, or kingdom. On the whole, the picture is prin cipally noticeable from its stupendous architec tural designs, on the major portion of which a strong broad light falls with tolerable correct ness, and the accurate acquaintance which the artist appears to possess of the old Egyptian statues and idols of worship. The camels in the foreground, ready caparisoned for their journey across the Desert, have a very oriental aspect. In a subject like the present, however, Mr. Roberts should have indulged in some de velopement of human pathos or passion : but he has done nothing of the sort ; human nature is wholly sacrificed to an elaborate display of palace, colonnade, obelisk, statue, and temple. Still, even with these defects, wherein the pupil has followed his master, the picture is a splendid one, and, as an engraving, admirably executed. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have just received the National of Monday la'', from which we copy the following:— (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON, MAY 12.—A courier has arrived at Lishot from Madrid, and has brought to M. Ribnira, the Spaniel, Minister, and to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Don Miguel, the copy of a communication made by M. Ray neval on his arrival at Madrid, as well as the answer given immediately by the Cabinet of Madrid. These documents ire of great importance. The communication of the French Government states that France will consider it as a declaration of war on the firat movement of the Spanish troops to enter Portugal, and to give assistance to Dor, Miguel, in the case of an invasion of Don Pedro, to be observed in the event that Don Pedro acts only against Don Miguel ; and the Spanish Government must not in terfere between the two brothers. (From the Moniteur.) PARIS, MAY 27.—The Government have received in formation that a movement was preparing in the Boccage, (Vendee) and that measures were taken to repulse all at tempts at disturbance. The factions were met on several points on the day of the 23d, and were dispersed. Letters from Germany, received to-day, state that thirty thousand German patriots, from all pills of the Confederation, will assemble for the grand celebration of Hambach. The Germans at Paris have also had a grand banquet on the same ocza%ion. The contractors for the loan of the city of Paris of forty millions of francs were as follows :—Messrs. Roth.- childs, Ilagerman, Blanc Colin, and Fould ; their bidding was in interest of four francs 87 cents, and we under stood that the interest will be drawn in a lottery. The other parties who bid were Hottengen, Delessert, and the Receiver-General ; their bidding was 4 francs 89 cents inte rest, six per cent per annum. Rothschild and his party have been declared contractors for the loan. French Three per Cents left off at 70f. 75c. ; Five per Cents, 97f. 60c. LITERATURE. HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This valuable work is now brought to a ter mination, and contains the best and fullest account of the manners, literature, history, topo graphy, and commercial character of the United States, of any work that has yet been published on the subject. The greatest pains have evidently been taken throughout to sift the truth of things, and, so far as the historical portion of the work is concerned, to avoid any thing like undue prejudice or partiality. The Illustrations are numerous, and for the most part of a high order; the best are decidedly the landscape engravings, not a few of which are admirable for their spirit and distinctness. Nor must we omit to men tion the maps, of which there are some dozens, and the best of which, that of North America, contains all the most recent discoveries of those enterprising travellers Franklin and Parry. The work is headed, as such a work should be, with an excellent engraving of the immortal George Washington, the Liberator of the New World. MR. SHERIDAN AND LORD GREY. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. Sia,—The following eloquent panegyric fell from the lips of Mr. Sheridan in the House of Commons, nearly forty years ago,* in allusion to our present distinguished Premier, whose fame was then dawning in that House : " My Honourable Friend (Mr. Grey) is a man who deserves to be supported in the cause of Parliamentary Reform, and he shall be supported; he himself lends it a lofty support—he is a man who possesses a lofty mind, seated upon a heart of honour ; and in it he must rise into fame, for the cause of justice, of honour, and of truth, never yet has been, nor ever will be, attempted to be supported in vain." As we are now happily beholding the fulfilment of the prophecy contained in it, you will, pe-haps, consider this deserving of publication at the present moment. Your obedient servant, Lincoln's Inn, May 29. AN OLD REFORMER. * 4th March, 1793. TITHES.-STATE OF CORK. (From the Southern Reporter of Saturday.) The whole city has been a scene of the most alarming excitation since twelve o'clock. At that hour about 10,000 people, headed by a hand of music, with flaf,s and colours flying, ent e red the city. AU the garrison, ca valry and infantry, under the command of Sir George Bingham, w ere soon i ntro d uce d —t h e s h ops o f t h e princi pal streets closed—all business suspended—and tens of thousands of the populace p-Tambulating the town. On the whole, such an exhibition of terror and dismay—of alarm and excitement, our city has seldom presented. Reporter office, half -past two o'clock. FAILURE OF THE SALE-RESTORATION OF THE CATTLE TO THEIR. OWNERS-POPULAR ENTHUSIAS;;. -- The transactions of the last two hours will not easily be effaced from our mind ; and our present regret is, that time does not permit us to say any thine but state a few leading facts. Amidst the yells of infuriated thousands, guarded by a squadron of Lancers, the fifteen unfortuate i.ows were driven from a field belonging to the High Con stable, where they had been since Thursday night, to the Grand Parade, and there exhibited for sale. The entire of that leading street was one dense mass of human beings, who occasionally set up tremendous cheers. Surrounded by the troops, the process of auctioneering was commenced —the auctioneer, a stranger, it is said a resident of Mid dleton. They were set up at 31. for each —no bidder ! 21.—n0 bidder ! 11.—no bidder ! in short, he de scended to 3s. for each cow, but no purchaser ap peared. This scene lasted for more than an hour, when, there being no chance of making sale of the cattle, it was proposed to adjourn the auction; but, as we are informed, the General in command of the military ex pressed an unwillingness to have the troops subject to a repetition of the harassing duty thus imposed on them. After a short delay, it was at the interf rence and remonstrance of several gentlemen—both of town and country—agreed upon that the cattle should he given up to the people, sub ject to certain private arrangements. At this hour the cattle, followed by the people, frantic with joy, have just passed our office. We never witnessed such a scene— thousands of country people, jumping with exulting feel ings at the result. When the result was known, clamorous and irrepressible cheering for the military burst forth. Three cheers were then given for General Sir George Bingham, and were followed by shouts tLe most deafening. Another tithe sale is advertised for Wednesday. Shall our city again present the fearful spectacle—shall its trade be again suspended, and its inhabitants be " fright e d f rom their propriety ?" The day will give the reply, We are glad to find that the demand for English gloves is daily increasing. This is, in a great measure, owing to the exertions of Mr. WILLIAM HULL, by whom the state of the glovers of Yeovil, Stoke, and Ali!borne Port has been brought before the public. 'fhe trade have presented that gentleman with a handsome piece of plate, in acknowledgment of his services. The workmen of the collieries in the western pert of this country, who were ad out of work the begin. ning of last week, have returned to their employments, the masters having all pledged themselves to pay the wages of their men weekly in money, instead of in goods or by truck.—Monmouthshire The skeleton of a human body was discovered on Monday, in Long Room barrack-yard, Plymouth, 13) the falling of some earth at the lower range of the bat racks ; the body must have lain there a considerable time, us the bones crumbled to dust when they were touched. It is generally supposed the person was murdered. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1832. His MAJESTY held a Court and Levee this day at half-past one o'clock at St. James's Palace. A troop of the Royal Horse-guards (blue) took up their station in the Palace-yard, and their band in their new state uniform per formed some of the most popular airs during the day. A double guard of the household troops were stationed in various directions, and a numerous body of the new police lined the streets contiguous to the Palace, whilst the entrance to the state apartments was protected by TowNsiTEND and SAYER, of Bow-street, Mr. LEE, the High Constable of Westminster, and a posse of special constables. After the Levee, a Privy Council was held in the Painted Chamber, at which Mr. GREVILLE attended as Clerk. The tithe question hastens to its eonsumma- tion in Ireland. In another part of The Sun will be found some significant particulars re specting a tithe auction of cattle, which took place in the city of Cork last Saturday, at tended by upwards of 50,000 of the peasantry of the surrounding districts, and wholly failed in consequence of there being no indivi dual found hardy enough to purchase, not withstanding that the auctioneer offered to sell the cattle at three shillings a-head I So de termined were the parties interested in effecting a sale, (no matter at what ruinous loss to the owner of the animals) that they actually engaged all the military and police force of the district, for the purpose of giving confidence to those who might feel inclined to purchase; yet all pre cautions were vain, and after the auction had been three times postponed, in the hope that the people might be wearied out by such repeated delays, the business was brought to a close by the restoration of the cattle to the people. look upon this denouement as all but decisive of the tithe system in Ireland, for it has brought home to the minds of the people the welcome, conviction that they have the means of avoiding payment of tithes without infringing the law, in their own power, and will, we doubt not, be the subject of imitation throughout the greater part of the south and south-western quarter o" the sister kingdom. We are far from regretting this. From time immemorial the tithe question has been one of the most prolific sources of misery to Ireland ; it has been the cause of an immense deal of bloodshed, and done more injury to the interests of true religion, by keeping alive a jealous spirit of sectarianism, than all the infidel books that ever yet were penned. Luckily the whole system is now at its last gasp, and the failure of the Cork auction, notwith standing the prodigious pains to make it go off with eclat, cannot but have the effect of convincing the Hon. Secretary for Ireland, that if the tithe arrears for even this year cannot be collected, it is worse than folly, it is perfect madness, to hope to be able to collect those for past years. Speaking on this subject, the Carlow Morning Post says :—" Here is a lesson for Mr. STANLEY and his colleagues, to inform him how well his Tithe Bill will be received in Ire land. Here is a case brought on by the Sheriff, supported by all the powers of the Attorney- General, aided by eleven Magistrates, and pro tected by five companies of infantry, two troops of dragoons, and one squad of police, and yet, after all, not a man can be found to buy, or even to give a drin k of water to the cattle. Mr. STANLEY may, therefore, as well go whistle jigs to a mile stone, as collect the tithes in future in this county ; he never again can have a more favour able case than the late one, and yet it failed. Lord MELBOURNE has introduced the Bill on last Wednesday, into the Lords, but as well might he introduce a Bill to collect tithes in the moon. It is all over—their day is at an end— the people cannot now be overcome—it would take one hundred thousand military even to guard the stock in Leinster, for tithe, and yet what good could they achieve, as in the end no one could be found to purchase ? Our victory is therefore complete--we have gained an im mortal triumph, and as we now know our force, we shall in future know how to use that force on every occason, where independence and freedom may demand its exaction." We have received this morning Brussels and German Papers, from which the following are extracts : BRUSSELS, MAY 26.—1 t seems that his Majesty will be accompanied in his journey to Compiegne by his Royal Highness the Duke of Aremberg, the Count d'Aerschot, General D'Hsne de Steenbuyse, M. Ch. de Brouc kere, Baron d'Hoogvorst and an officer of his staff, M. Van Praet, the King's private secretary, and M. le Gottel lerie, orderly officer. There is a report that M. de Mue lenaere, Minister of Foreign Affairs, will also accompany his Mijesty. A waggon, bringing a number of chest., containing bronzes and other valuable articles, addressed to the King, arrived at Brussels yesterday. Some persons suppose that they are presents from the King of the French. The approaching marriage gave credit to the supposition. "It is affirmed," says the Massager de Gand," that ac ording to instructions received from his Court, M. Le Hon . has declared to Louis-Philippe that there was no means left to save Belgium but the immediate union of the Princess Mary to his Majesty the King of the Belgians. It seems that it is in consequence of this overture that his Majesty Louis-Philippe, before answering or binding himself by any promise, has desired to have an interview with King Leopold on the affairs of Belgium, and for this the King goes to Compiegne." M. Van de Weyer, having obtained leave of absence, will pass some time with his family ; meantime General Goblet will supply his place in the negotiations with the conference, and M. Wallez, Secretary of Legation at the Court of St. James's. It seems that the morning after the exchange of the Russian ratification, M. Van de Weyer thought it proper, of his own authority, to address to the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Powers a note relative to the execution of the treaty. In this note M. Van de Weyer said, " that without doubt it will seem proper to the Powers to order the evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp." Some time ago a member of the Chamber of Repre sentatives questioned the Ministry on the nomination of M. Sterkt to the Archbishopric of Malines, and on the consent of King William, which, it was asserted, had been asked on this occasion by the Court of Rome. Our Ministers denied the fact. We (viz. the Independent,) are, however, now assured in the most positive manner that the consent of King William was really asked, and that the Court of Rome did not make the nomination till it had been obtained. It is farther added, that M. B ir rett had been proposed for the bishopric of Namur, but that King William having refused his consent, the pro posal was considered as not having been made. Accord ing to the concordat, the chapters were to propose candi dates for the bishoprics and archbishoprics : now no proposal of the King having been made, the Pope has been at full liberty in his choice. NUREMBURG, MAY 21.—Some journals have spoken of a plan of his Majesty the King on leaving the baths of Ischia to visit the Peloponnesus, and of an extraordinary convocation of the Diet to vote a loan. The Munich State Gazette assures us that there was never any foun dation for such reports, and that the King may be ex pected to return to the capital as soon as he leaves Ischia. A n ew pros-cution for high treason has been instituted by the Government against Dr. Wirth (who has just been released 'rom prison), on account of his late address to the friends of their country. He has been summoned to ap pear before the tribunal at Deux Ponts.—Nuremburg Correspondent, May 22. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SITTINGS ON ASCENSION DAY. His Honour the MASTER of the Botts. on coming int. Court, stated to the B .r that the Common Law Judges ha'' ',ad a consultation for the purpose of determining whetl er. according to the due construction of the Act, the husines, of the Court should proceed on Ascension day, and the) had come unanimously to the conclusion that they wer. hound to sit on that day. His Honour, therefore, wa• afraid, notwithstanding the notice that had been given 5. the contrary, that he was bound to follow their conch]. sion. He should, therefore, sit to-morrow and procer, with the general cause paper. Mr. PEMBERTON stated that his Honour the Vice-Char cellor would not sit. His HONOUR understood that he would. Mr. PEMBERTON observed that he had seen his Honour the Vice-Chancellor last night, when he stated to him that he should not. Mr. GIRDLFSTONE, jun. stated that his Honour the Vice-Chancellor had mentioned the subject in Court tha morning, and fearing his sitting might be attended with inconvenience to the Bar, had stated his determination not to do so. The MASTER of the ROLLS inquired whether his sit ting to-morrow would he inconvenient to the Bar ? Be thought the Court ought to see what it could do, as it wa , the unanimous opinion of all the Judges that they were bound to sit ; his Honour, therefore, directed public no tice to he given of his intention to sit to-morrow. His Honour will in future sit from eleven o'clock to four, instead of from ten to three. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red S 4 VS 3 per Cent.

YORK, MONDAY EVE SlNG.—Notwithstanding the great im portance of the Races, the attendance of the upper classes was very small, and quite unworthy " a list of fashionables." Of the lower grade, however, the muster was unusually strong; the " first year" of the York Derby, the high character of the horses engaged, and the influence of the Race on the Great St. Leger, having created an interest almost without parallel of late years ; its unexpected result has produced an immense sensation in all the sporting circles here. The weather was fair but gloomy, promising a fall of rain. We subjoin the particulars of this day's Races : Produce Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. for two-yr-olds. The Duke of Leeds's f. by Whisker, walked over, and rec. from two other subscribers. Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, for three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst. 51b.; fillies, Bst. 21b.

The favourite went off in front at a good Leger pace, leading at least three lengths, Lord Scarborough's lying second, Sparrowhawk third, and Tartar last to the rails, where Primendorf gave over. Nel son, on Lord Scarborough's, then took up the work, holding hard, his opponents having obviously had enough of it ; he won in very clever style by three quarters of a length, without being touched; he is a large promising-looking colt.

O❑ taking his seat this morning, his Honour the Vice CHANCELLOR observed that he had received a communi cation from the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, in which he stated that the Judges had tak n into consi deration at Serjeants'-inn, whether under the proper con struction of the Act it would be right to consider to morrow (Ascension -day) as a holyday, and they bad all of them come to the determination that they ought not. The Learned Judges in settling the returns bad named that day, not regarding it as Ascension-day, but as being a day following in a certain number. As notice had been pre viously given of his Honour's intention not to sit, he should certainly not like to make any alterations which would in the least trespass upon any gentleman ; and, therefore, unless the Bar wished ir, he should adhere to his first de termin ition, and not it. Sir EDW. SUGDEN felt glad to hear his Honour say so, for he was sure had the Court sat every body would have been in a state of confusion. Consultations had been appointed for that day in consequence of the Court not sitting. His HONOUR observed that as the inconvenience which had occured during the present year in consequence of the alteration of tse terms, could not happen again ; and as that Court could do its business as well out of term as in, he saw no reason why they should not keep their own bolyday. His HONOUR, therefore, will not sit to-morrow. COURT of KING'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) WHITCHURCH V. CIIAPMAN• This was an action of debt, to recover the amount of certain penalties from the defendant, who was the clerk to the guardians of the poor of the parish of Southampton, for refusing to allow the plaintiff to inspect the rate-books. The cause was tried before Mr. Justice Taunton, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. On a former day a rule was obtained, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, on the ground that the defendant was not a person having the legal custody of the rate-books within the meaning of the Pith George 11., chap. S. Mr. FOLLETT to-day showed cause against the rule, and contended that the verdict was a good one, and ought to stand. He submitted that the defendant came within the term " other persons" in the 3d section of the 17 Geo. 11., which applied to " churchwaraens, overseers, or other persons authorized to take care of the poor." To show that the defendant WJil an officer so au thorized, he referred to the local Act for the government of the parish of Southampton, which gave the power of the guardians of the poor to appoint their officers. In the cause it was proved that the rate-books were in the custody of the defendant, and taken care of by him, and also that he refused the inspection of them. Under those circumstances the Learned Counsel submitted that the rule ought to be discharged. Mr. SELWYN admitted that the verdict could not stand. The declaration contained two counts. The first charged the defendant as being a person autho rized to take care of the poor. That was disproved, for, by the local Act, the whole of the management and care of the poor was vested in the Corporation of Guar dians, to whom the defendant was only clerk or servant. The local Act, therefore, negatived that charge. The se cond charge was, that the defendant came within the meaning of the words " churchwardens, overseers, or other persons authorized to take care of the poor," and that in such capacity he had the custody of the rate-books. He (Mr. Selwyn) was of opinion that the sentence did not apply to the defendant, who was only clerk to the guardians of the poor, and had no management of the poor himself. It was true, be had the charge of the rate books, but he was not the person i❑ whom the legal cus tody was, so as to bring him within the operation of this very penal Act. Their Lomasurrs were of opinion that the defendant was not an officer having the management of the poor, or having the legal custody of the rate-books, as required by the statute. An application should have been made to the guardians of the poor, who would have given an order on the defendant to allow the inspection of the books. But at all events the case was not within the meaning of the statute, and that therefore the verdict could not stand. The rule was then made absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) MOXIZY V. CLARKSON. This action, which was brought to recover a sum of 641. 14s. 6d., for biscuits, &c., supplied for the use of an East India ship, of which the defendant was captain, was tried before Mr. Biros Bayley, at the London Sittings after last term, and a verdict found for the defendant. This morning, Mr. Mu. applied for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted, upon the ground that it was against evidence, that improper evidence had been admitted, and, on one• point, that the Learned Judge had improperly charged the Jury. The Learned Gentleman said all the evidence went to show that the goods were supplied to the defendant, and all the invoices were made out in his name, and were signed by him as being correct. For the defendant it was put in evidence, that the captain bad no interest in the passengers ; but as that was against the usual rule of the trade, he apprehended that it ought not to have been re ceived, unless it was shown that the plaintiff was aware of the fact. Mr. Baron BAILEY said, it appeared on his note of the trial, that the plaintiff was aware that the goods were i•upplied for the use of the on ners, and that he knew Mr. Andrews, to whom he applied for payment, was the owner. Mr. HILL believed that the plaintiff only knew Mr. Andrews to he the agent for the ship, in which character he had applied to him for the money. His third point was, that the Learned Baro❑ ought to hae left it to the Jury to say whether the goods were supplied to the use Captain, and not whether credit was given to him or the owners. The rule was granted on the first ground—the Court thinking there was no foundation for the application on the other grounds. CAPEL V. CHILD. This case was argued last Term and occupied the Court two days. The question was as to the power of the Bishop of London to appoint a curate for the parish of Watford. The LORD CIIIFF BARON this morning said, the case was one of very great importance, and the Court wished that it should be argued again by two civilians, one on each side, and appointed it to come on on Wed nesday next.

The as signees now accordingly petitioned for that purpose, in or der to save litigation. THE CouaT.—Did the petitioners want the costs to come out of the estate ? Mr. MoNTAGUE—Certainly, for the application was made to save the estate the greater yr pense of each of these parties making a separate applica tion. Lord Eldon had granted such an application in the ca.e of Marsh and Fontleroy's bankruptcy. The COURT said that it was quite satisfied as to the principle of the application, but would like to see the pre cedent. ~' ~} The case then stood over for Mr. Montague to produce the precedent. COMMON PLEAS..-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice ALDERSON sat at Nisi Prius this day, iu the Duchy of Lancaster Court, Westminster, and pro ceeded with the remanets from la-t Term. THOMPSON 2.`. FRANCE. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS stated the case. It was an ac tion brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 1.4001. from the defendant, Mr. France, a solici!or, in Bedford-row, •he having made a misrepresentation of the credit and responsibility of a Mr. Henry Thompson, the partner in the firm of Wyatt and Thompson, the ale brewers, in Portpool-lane, which firm some time ago by which misrepresentation the plaintiff hail been induced to accept Mr. Henry Thompson as security for payment of an annuity upon four lives of 112/. per annum. The misrepresentation was contained in a letter from the defendant, in answer to one sent by the plain tiff's attorney, which was to the following eff •ct : " Gentlemen, I received your letter yesterday, inquiring whether Mr. Henry Tompson of Portpool.lane. was a good and sufficient security for the payment of 112/. per an num by way of annuity. You must be aware that Mr. Thompson is a partner in the firm, Wyatt and Co., the ale brewers, besides which, he has property of his own to a considerable amount." Upon this representation the plaintiff was induced to accept Mr. Thompson as security, and the 1,4001. was paid over to hint. Within site months after the house failed, and the whole stock was sold for the benefit of the creditors. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS said he could •how, by the evi dence of his witnesses, that at the time this repres. ntation was made, he (the defendant) was acting as the solicitor to the concern, and consequently must have known the state of its affairs. He would also show that the house had for some time been obliged t• resort to accommodation hills to meet its demands, which the defendant must also have known, and if he proved these important facts, Le (the Learned Counsel) was certain he should have the verdict of the Jury. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) EX PARTE Mr. Hucltits applied to the Court on behalf of an assignee, aged 72, to be discharged from his assigneeship on the grounds of infirmity. There were originally three assignees, but two were dead. The COURT dismissed the petition with costs, on the ground that if the petitioner were discharged from his as signeeship before the choice of other assignees, there would be no one to represent the estate. The course for the petitioner to take was, to procure a new choice of aa• signees in the place of those dead, under the general order Afterwards the question as to the discharge of the peti tioner might or might not arise.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have a blank morning for information up to the present hour, there being no arrivals of consequence, as it is expected that the express from Paris will be of political note. The Pitt dinner this day engrosses the attention of the public in the city, and, no doubt, measures will be taken to keep the peace of the city. By the London line of packet ship Ontario, Captain Sehor, Quebec Papers, to the 25th of April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The river was open at Montreal, and the ice had occasioned no dam *ge. The ice in St. Peter stood fast and was strong on Saturday last, and from appearances it was not proba ble that a steam-boat could arrive thence before the middle of next week. The Legislatures of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, were to be prorogued in a few days. The express from Paris has arrived ;—it is reported the Rentee are 70f. 60c. Consols, which left off yesterday on C , ange, at 854 for the account, opened this morning at 85i at which price they are at present, with little or nothing doing. The speculators are waiting to ascertain the prices of the French Funds. Consols close to morrow. The unfavourable account from the 9razils, said to have been received via France, is not credited in the city. Not a feature in the Foreign Market worth noticing. RALF-PAST ONE. Consols are a shade better than in the early part of the morning, when they were S 5/ for the account; at pre sent they are 85i sellers, with little doing. The express - from Paris has brought the Three pet Cents., after 'Change, '7of. 75c., which is an improve ment on the last prices. There have been some commotions in La Vendei., but not of that serious nature to give alarm to the French Go vernment. The printed prices of the French 3 per Cents. was 70f. 60c. Up to the present hour we have no political news of consequence. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. 7 RREE O' CL 0 CK. Consols for account 85k. FOUR O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES.
