It is reported that the Vernon frigate, Captain COLLIER, has been taken off the coast of Hol land by two Dutch men-of-war. The account Is said to have been brought by a fisherman, who has arrived at Deptford, who witnessed the en gagement, and who has in his charge communi cations for the Admiralty. We need scarcely add, that we do not believe the report. The Vernon is commanded by some of the best officers in the service, and her crew is most excellent. Our opinion i., that it would puzzle th e two best frigates, of equal size, in the Dutch navy to take the Vernon. She would sink first. It is stated in the Brussels correspondence of a Morning Paper that the French army now in Belgium is not likely to return to France when the object for which it entered that country shall have been attained. As we do not happen to be gifted with the powers of discernment which the foreign correspondents of some of the Papers pretend to the possession of, and cannot under take to gather the intentions of a Government fro m the peculiar look or shake of the head of any of its agents, we shall not take upon our selves to contradict the prophecy in question, although we shall presume to examine the degree of probability to which it is entitled. In the first place, the French were not allowed to enter Belgium without the most solemn pledges and guarantees for the speedy evacuation of it when th e immediate object for which they were put in motion should have been gained; and, as the co operation of this country in the coercive measures against the Dutch was only given on the receipt of such pledges and guarantees, we do not think the French would venture, if they were even so inclined, to detach Great Britain from its alliance with them, and force it by a breach of faith to abandon France to her own resources ' against the Powers of the continent, if our Cabinet should not be unwise enough to go so far in the indignation which such a breach of faith would cause as to join other Powers against France. In the second place, we would ask what the French are to gain by remaining in Belgium after the object for which they entered has been settled, even supposing that their re maining in that country should not offend us ? It has been said that they want to annex Bel gium to France, and to attack Prussia. Now, as Belgium is open to France and can be overrun by French troops at any future time as well as now, the mere permission to enter that country is of no importance to the French, and therefore they can lose nothing by retiring, and thus fulfil ling their pledge to England, though they should hereafter attempt—we do not see why, having by a family alliance as much counted on Belgium for any useful purpose as if it were their own— to annex the Belgian territory to that of France. Then, as to an attack upon Prussia, can any man be so weak in intellect as to suppose that the French Government would choose the pre sent moment for such a proceeding, without any overt act of hostility on the part of Prussia— without any funds provided by the Chamber— and without those means of prevailing against so extensive and powerful an army as that of Prussia, on her own soil, which the French would possess, if the Prussians were ever to make an attack upon them ? Is it likely that France will try war against the Holy Alliance by a breach of faith to England, on the offensive, when by remaining on the defensive, she will have such a command over her resources as to defy the united power of the continental des pots ? We think not. Whatever may be the wishes of the French Government, or the nation, there is too much good sense in both for so quixotic a scheme. France will, probably, have occasion to curb the insolence of the absolute Powers, but she will be able to do it under cir cumstances more favourable and honourable than would present themselves were she to break the covenant under which her troops have en tered Belgium, and rush, without previous pre paration, into an European war. It would be well, we think, if the politicians who correspond with the London Press would borrow a little common sense from the experience of others, or the facts which come immediately under their own eyes, instead of attempting to alarm or juggle the credulous people in this country, who set down every speculation from abroad as a piece of real news. Extract of a letter from Captain BALL, of the Everthorpe, dated Downs, Nov. 19 : " Yesterday afternoon I passed the Talavera, 74 gun!, with her cutwater carried away, and much damaged, ap parently having run on board of some ship, and the French frigate Calypso, with the appearance of shot holes in her sides, both in the Queen Channel bound to Sheerness. Late in the day the following letters from the Custom-house were received at Lloyd's : " Custom-house. Nov. 20, 1832. " Sir,—ln reply to your letter of this date, signifying the request of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, to be informed whether orders have been received by the Board of Customs fur giving permission for all Dutch vessels which had clearances outward., previous to the embargo, to sail for Holland, I have it in command to acquaint you, for the information of the Committee, that the Board has not received directions to the above effect ; but that orders have been issued to the officers of this department not to stop any British ship or vessel which may have cleared out previously to the date of the Order in Council of the 6th instant, and I herewith trans mit a copy of the order issued upon the subject. (Signed) " C. SCOVELL, Secretary. " To John Bennett, Esq., Lloyd's. " To the Collector and Comptroller at —." " Gentlemen,—With reference to the Order in Council of the 6th instant, directing that ❑o ships or vessels be longing to any of his Majesty's subj• cts be permitted to enter and clear out for any of the ports within the do minions of the King of the Netherlands until further orders, the Commissioners direct that no stop be made of any British ship or vessel cleared out previously to the date of the said Order in Council, but that the Masters of such vessels, after being warned of the probability of their detention in the Dutch ports to which they may be bound, be forthwith permitted to proceed on their voyages. (Signed) " C. SCiArELL. " Custom house, London, Nov. 19, 1832." The following are Extracts from German and Frankfort Papers received this morning : FRONTIERS OF POLAND, NOV. I.—The Russian Go vernment has for some time past dropped all judicial in quiries against subjects of the kingdom of Poland, impli cated in the revolution, and proceedings are now continued or commenced only against those members of the two Chambers who voted the deposition of the House of Ro manow, against the members of the late Government, and the leaders of the military party. A great number of Poles, who have been residing in foreign countries, returned home, without any notice being taken by the authorities. All this passes without any notice being issued by the Government, of this kind of amnesty, and it seems that political considerations have influenced the Govern ment in making this omision. In the Grand Duchy of Posen, on the contrary, all persons who went to the kingdom of Poland are subjected to judi cial proceedings on their return, though an amnesty has long been expected in that province. The penalty of con fiscation is indeed now in fact abolished with respect to all those persons, though the tribunals are properly still bound to pronounce it. But the penalty of imprisonment decreed against those who went to Poland remains, and it is there fore asked, if an amnesty is not published, how more than 4,000 persons are to suffer the penalty of imprisonment pronounced against them ?

SPIRE, Nov. 11.—The account of the proceedings of the provincial circle of the Rhine, for the year 1832, has just been published. It contains—first, the resolution of the Government, on the proposals of the Council; and at the end, the Government adds:— " As much as we formerly took pleasure in giving as surances of our favours to the provincial Council of the circle of the Rhine, so much are we now grieved at being obliged to reprove the arrogant language used in the spe cial protocol of the deliberations of the provincial Council of the present year, which convinces us that the Council, insensible to our beneficent intentions, has not re mained a stranger to the artful excitement which has been produced in the minority of the inhabitants of the circle of the Rhine. We must severely reprimand the term concession which the Provincial Council has under its financial resolutions. The law of the 16th of August, 1828, gives to the Provincial Council only a right of ex. amining and presenting subjects of complaint. " We must not permit an infraction of this law even though it were only in form. " We must also decidedly disapprove the opinions which the Council has expressed towards respecting the prepara tions for the festival at Hambach, and the mode of execut ing the third constitutional edict. "It is the duty of the Government to defend the Consti tution against every attack. The projects of the party which has ventured to show itself openly in Germany also, are now exposed to the judgment of the public ; the events at Hambach have removed the veil even from the eyes of the Members of the Provincial Connell, who to our great dissatisfaction slid not hesitate to attend that fete. We confidently rely on the approbation of all the real friends of the Constitution by ordering (as we do by these presents) both our Regency of the said circle and our Attorney- General, to continue, regarding only their duty, to apply the measures of prevention and repression prescribed by the 3d. supplementary Article of the Constitution. They will continue to interpose with force against all interruptions of the publla tranquillity, They will oppoe with must on orgy the efforts which for the::: I..l,,liteen months have hazarded in so inexcusable a manner the tranquillity of the circle of the Rhine,--efforts which evidently had nothing less than , the overthr ow o f t h e Th rone , o f th e C ons tit u ti o n, and o f all legitimate institutions. " LOUIS. " Prince WREDE. De WEINRICH. " Baron de GISE. " Prince of OETTINGEN-WALLERSTEIN. "De MIEG. " By his Majesty's command, " De ROBELL, Secretary-General Munich, Oct. 19, 183 e. —Franckfort Papers, Nov. 13. The advices from Hesse Darmstadt are of the 9th inst. They furnish us with the following Ordinance : "Louis 11., by the Grace of God, Grand Duke of Hesse and the Hesse-Rhenish provinces. " Having resolved to call our faithful Estates together, on the I st of December, of the present year, we invite all th e Deputies to assemble on that day, in our residence, at Darmstadt, to discuss the principles of the Constitution, and in virtue of the rights which are given them, the pro positions which we shall judge fit to submit to them." The Morning Chronicle contains the follow. ing : 76 We mentioned, about a week since, that Prince TAL LEYRAND had been exerting his influence with Lord PALMERSTON, in order that England and France might interpose their authority to terminate the dispute be tween Donna MARIA and Don MIGUEL, by recognizing at once the claims of the QUEEN. We have reaso❑ to believe that the PRINCE'S exertions have been so far crowned with success, that Ministers are making arrangements for the accomplishment of an object no less desirable on the score of policy than on that of humanity and the cause of good government. Austria and England, during Mr. Canning's Administration, were the Powers who, at the request of Don Pedro, recognized Don Miguel as the Regent of Portugal, according to the Constitutional Charter which had been previously accepted and sworn to in Portugal, and by which the succession of Donna Maria to the Throne was secured, during the mino rity of the young Queen, between whom and Don Miguel a marriage was to have been consummated. The intrigues of the Tories of England instigated Miguel to break faith with England and Austria the moment he reached Lisbon. Under the pretence that the nation were discontented with the Charter, with the succession of Donna Maria, he assumed the Kingly power. The cir cumstances which then occurred, and the whole of his conduct since, afford but' too strong a justification of the course which, we are glad to find, is about to be taken. The connection between England and Portugal places the former out of the predicament to which the rule of non interference strictly applies." We made a similar statement ill The Sun some time ago—and we now repeat our opi nion, that the immediate recognition of Queen Donna MARIA, would be one of the' most popular acts which Government could do. In fact, the public expect, and have a right to ex pect this concession to justice and the in terests of:the country, at the hands of Ministers, who have been shilly-shallying too long on this important question. If they hesitate on the point of non-intervention, they have gone too far already ; and having done wrong in the cause of the rightful heir to the throne, they ought to repair it without further loss of time before their interference be too late. Their present position is doubly critical, for if PEDRO fail or succeed, the interference of England will be thrown away. A pleasant alternative truly I Bis dot qut cito clot. The immediate recognition of DONNA MA RIA would secure the triumph of liberty in Portugal, and the consequent establishment of liberal institutions throughout the Peninsula. That one act would have the moral force of a hundred thousand men in favour of the Queen Of SPAIN. By the accounts from Madrid we learn that General O'DONNELL,and General CHAPERON, and several monks, had been arrested. General CHAPERON was conducted to the fortress of Saint Anton, at Carague, and the monks of St. Catherine to Cadiz. General O'DoNNELL remained in secret confinement at Madrid. We learn, by these advices, that a department, called Foment° general del Reino, equivalent to Mi nister of the Interior, had been created, and that ENEIMA Y PIEDRA, Minister of Finance, had been named ad interim to the new post, with the obligation of constituting, with as little de lay as possible, the Ministry. Don FRANCISCO XAVIER DE CUSTANOS is named Captain- General of New Castile, in place of the Marquis GAMBRANO, who retires with a pension of 30,000 francs. MANUEL FREISE had been named Commandant of the Guard Royal, in place of the Marquis. In consequence of the advanced age of General CusTANos, Lieut.- General CONTERA is named second in com mand in New Castile, in order that he might assist General CUSTANOS. Some question was agitating in the Cabinet respecting an ordi nance, inflicting very severe penalty on all re taining the denomination of Negros, Commu neros, Free-masons, Anelleros, &c. It was re ported that M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA was charged with reducing into a project the as sembling of the Cortes, which was expected to be ; upon the principle of the French Chambers. Ihe Ambassadors of Austria, Russia, and Naples were very little at Court, and great cold ness existed between them and the Ambassadors of France and England. Since the change in the policy of the Spanish Government there has been great coldness between these Plenipotentiaries and those of France and England, and not a single conference has .taken place among the corps diplo»zatique. The Ambassadors from France and England repaired almost every day to the Palace and the houses of the Palaces. We find by the accounts from Copenhagen that the King of DENMARK was using great exertions to improve the condition of his subjects and advance the interest of his nation. The Minister or State, Count DE RANTZA DE BRISTENBURG, had arrived there, it was sup posed to open the deliberations of the Council of State on the subject of the Provincial States. The promulgation of the new laws was to take place on the 28th of January next, the anni versary of the birth of the KING. The sitting of the Provincial States would be held at Copen hagen for the Isles, and at \Viborg for Jutland. The opening was fixed for the approaching autumn. Steam-boats were about to be gene rally introduced ; one was to ply between Kiel and Altona, and a similar one was to be built for the purpose of perfecting the railroad about to be constructed between Lubeck and Ham burg. Steam boats were to ply incessantly on the route of Kalundborg, Zealand, and Harlem, in Jutland. A series of diligences were to be established between Kamedborg and Copen hagen. These establishments would open an un interrupted communication with Jutland. An order relative to the Island was about to be published, containing essential ameliorations principally for the administration of justice and improving criminal process. A project was about to .be started at Copenhagen to erect an Exchange upon the model of that of Hamburg. The Hamburg and Erichsen merchants were at the head of it. The harvest had terminated in Jutland and had proved generally abundant. We have only time and space to call the at tention of our readers to the important and in teresting correspondence, in our front page, of the different candidates for Westminster. 165 46% 17% FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Nouvelliste. of Nov. IS, received this morning.) Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Peers in Paris assembled at the Luxemburg, to be present at the drawing of lots for the twelve Members who are to compose the deputation which is to meet his Majesty upon the opening of the Chambers. The lots fell upon the following Peers The Comte de Pascher, the Comte de Bondy, the Comte Caffarelli, the Comte Clement de Ris, the Comte Simeon, the Comte de Segur, the Comte Excelmans, Vice Admiral Comte Emerian, the Baron Moonier, the Comte Guille minot, the Comte de Montesquiou, and the Comte de la Rochefoucault. The Comte Germany, the Duke de Marla, and the Baron de Lascours, have been appointed to supply the places of the Members of the deputation who may not be able to be present at the Royal sitting. A young French officer, in the service of Donna Maria, writes thus on the 31st of October :—" The Miguelites no longer attack us ; they refuse to begin a new assault, say ing they will not be led to a slaughter-house. Insubor dination is at its height in their camp, and their chiefs, despairing of making theinselvea obeyed, have at length abandoned the offensive. We are let off at present with some shells and balls, which they send us from time to time, and which produce no great effect. Our army (that of Don Pedro), is, on the contrary, very fine, well disciplined, and is recruited every day by reinforcements from England and France. The day before yesterday 560 English landed, and the arrival of SOO French is announced. In short our position becomes every day better, and I have hopes we shall be at Lisbon on the Ist of January, 1833. Within about a month we have received a reinforcement of 1,500 men. In a short time the army of Don Miguel will be obliged to retire upon the Voga. Deserters came in to us in crowds." (From the Illessager des Chambres.) We are assured that five Dutch ships of the line, and several other vessels of war have entered the Scheldt to strengthen the Dutch squadron already in that river, and to oppose the entrance of the Anglo-French fleet. A revolution at Madrid in favour of Don Carlos has been spoken of on 'Change; but we have received no letter in confirmation of the report. At the preparatory meeting of the Deputies to-day, the news and arguments of the Journal des Debuts have produced a very unfavourable impression upon the Deputies, not only of the left side, but upon those who last Session voted with the Ministry. Their votes were given from a desire to maintain peace, but it is at war that we have arrived, and the little success which has attended the course which has been pursued was sufficient to detach from the Cabinet of the Doctrinnaires, all who feared from it a loss of peace, not only to the country but to Europe. . . There was yesterday a meeting of the Deputies of the Opposition in the Rue Neuve, St. Augustin, consisting of 80 members, among whom were several who have not signed the conite-rendu. The meeting was first occupied in discussing the nomination of a President and two Se cretaries. Messrs. Salverte, Comte, and Cormenin were elected. Messrs. Third and Laboissiere have consented to remain Commissaries. The question of the choice of a President of the Chamber was next discussed, and it was unanimously agreed to vote for M. Laffitte. The patriotic Deputies were resolved to render homage to his great virtue, and revenge him of the ingratitude of the Court and the attacks of the Doctrin noires. The names of the three Presidents were not de cided upon. With respect to the Secretaries, five gentle men have been named ; they are Messrs. Cliaigneau, La guette-Mornay, Havin, Dubois-Ayme, and Beslay, jun. However, as this is not a question of politics, but merely one of confidence, it was decided that the meeting would come to an understanding with the Ministerial party, to elect in concert two deputies of the Opposition, and two deputies voting with the Ministry, so that the two parties might be equally represented, and have a just confidence in the decisions of the office. DISPOSITIONS OF PRUSSIA. One of the French Papers gives a letter from Berlin' dated the 11th November, upon the dispositions of Prussia, of which the following is an abridgment : The presence of the Queen of Holland at Berlin, the efforts of the Prince Royal, and of the future Queen, a daughter of the King of Bavaria, and relation of the Empress's, and the cry for war, raised by the needy nobility, with which the Court of Prussia swarms, have all concurred to change the pacific intentions of Frederick William. Already the official Paper has spoken, and the warlike preparations are pushed with an activity unknown since the time of the Great Frederick. The King of Prussia has an army of 160,000 well disciplined troops, and a militia of 350,000. But the latter cannot be relied upon ; and many provinces would be glad of an opportunity to make common cause with France. A numerous body of troops is assembled on the frontiers of Hanover. Prussia has always nourished the design of conquering that country, and she desires it more than ever now that England is acting in concert with France. It is to be deplored that the policy followed by the Ministry of Hanover of late has not been of a nature to inspire the population with a very lively enthu siasm; but if Hanover has little sympathy with that policy, she has less with Prussia, who has all the libe ral part of Germany against her, on account of the part she took in the Frankfort decrees. To conclude, war does not appear to be certain, espe cially if France confines herself to the taking of Ant werp. The case would be different if she were to march an army upon Maestricht. In the latter case, Prussia would commence the attack without waiting the artival of the Austrians, and the neighbourhood of Venloo might see a renewal of the reverse of Jena. It is the hope of the Germans, who only see this means of accomplishing the deliverance of their country. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE BENNETT, A LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment upon this pe tition. The two points were, first, whether Mr Burton, the petitioner, had satisfied the Court that he had been retained by the unfortunate old lady as her solicitor; and, secondly, whether he had acted duly as her solicitor, and had a right to have his bill of costs taxed, and the amount made a charge upon the real estate? With respect to the first question, his Lordship was far from thinking that it was free from suspicion, still looking at all the affidavits, and particularly those of Mr. Haggie and Miss Clarke, he was inclined to think the bill ought to go to the Master for taxation. The Master would have to inquire whether the whole, or any part, of the proceedings bad been properly undertaken by Mr. Burton. As regarded the next point, the Court could not order the amount prospectively to be made a charge on the real estate, more especial'y in a matter where it was uncertain that there would be any amount found to be due to the petitioner.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff for, we believe, about 32,0001. On a former day Counsel were heard upon a motion for a new trial on se veral grounds, the chief of which was that of excessive damages. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, in delivering judgment, said the Court were of opinion that the Rule should not be granted. The first objection made by Mr. Sergeant Wilde for the defence was, that certain orders of the Quarter Sessions, made between the years 1654 and 1660, had been improperly received in evidence. It appeared that those orders were merely re ceived as evidence of reputation to show that the castle, its brewhouse, and other buildings belonging to it were within the wapentake or hundred of Broxton, and in that respect the Court were of opinion that they were admis sible and were properly received. The second objection was, that the Learned Judge who tried the cause laid to, great weight upon the evidence of modern usage and re putation, and too little on the documents produced on the part of the defendants. Documentary evidence could not be too closely watched, but it was only when it appeared that the Jury bad relied too much on it, and formed a wrong conclusion, that the Court would interfere with their finding. In the present case it did not appear that the Jury would have come to any other conclusion upon those documents than they did, for they showed that from a very early period, viz., from the time of Doomsday, that there was a borough of Nottingham, and that subse quently the borough was made a county of itself, excluding the castle and its precincts. The Jury had, therefore, a rea. sonable inference that whit existed, legally existed. The third objection was, that the damages were excessive; and on that point the Court did not think that the damages were the result of the Jury's proceeding on an erroneous prin ciple. They should not have considered how long tin castle bad been in the possession of the noble plaintiff's ancestors, nor whether, from its situation and the sur rounding neighbourhood, the plaintiff was ever likely to make it a place of residence. The Jury acted on the principle of calculating how much it would cost to put it in the same condition in which it had previously been, and in that view the Court thought they acted properly. The motion for a new trial was then discharged. SIMS V. BRITTON. Mr. Justice J. PARKE said, this was an action to reco ver the amount of freight, earned by a vessel called the Princess of Wales, in the hands of the defendants, an the plaintiffs were nonsuited. A new trial had been ap plied for by Sir James Scarlett, on behalf of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs were the surviving part-owners of the Princess of Wales, of which a Mr. Dribble, now de ceased, was Captain, and part-owner; be was also th ship's husband and managing owner. It appeared that Dribble and he only kept an account with the defendant., and employed them to receive the freight from the East India Company, to do which it was necessary to have the signature of some of the other owners to the receipts ; but the obtain ing of those other signatures did not raise a new account with the defendants, so as to make them liable to the owners generally, it was only the mode by which the mo ney was to be obtained from the East India Company, and when obtained by the defendants, it was put to Dribble's account. It seemed that there was a general account be tween Dribble and the defendants, and also the account headed Princess of Wales," but the defendants were only accountable to Dribble. If the plaintiffs had ever intended to make the defendants liable to them, they should have opened an account with them ; but the money being ob tained, it could only be called a loan from Dribble to the defendants, for it appeared that there was no privity be tween the plaintiffs and defendants, so as to make the lat ter liable to any one but to Dribble. The Court were therefore of opinion that the nonsuit was correct. Rule for a new trial refused. JEFFERSON V. PRETTYMAN. The Court were of opinion that the verdict in this case, which was for the defendant, should not be disturbed, and therefore discharged the rule for a new trial. DOE, DEM. SMITH V. GALLOWAY.-DOSS V. LORD NUGENT. Their Lordships were of opinion that these two cases de served further investigation, and therefore ordered new trials. TILE KING V. SLANEY. Sir J. Sc A aLErr, on behalf of the prosecutor, Mr. Fane, stated, that, upon consideration, his client was content to receive a verdict on the third count only, which charged merely the authorship and publication of the libel by the defendant. After sonic little discussion, it was agreed that the defen. dant should appear on Friday morning to receive judgment. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY•) i UDGMENT.-.-.SMALL V. ATTWOOU. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord Lnin rtuasr said that a motion in this case had been made be fore him on Saturday last. He had read over the papers in it, and seeing nearly all the parties pressnt he might as well state the opinion he had formed upon the case. The original bill bad been filed for the purpose of setting aside a contract entered into by the plaintiffs, as directors of the British Iron Company, with Mr. John Attwood, for the purchase of certain iron works situated in Stafford shire, upon which contract a sum of upwards of 200,000/. had been paid. The Court, after patiently hearing Counsel for both sides, bad made a decree by which the said contract was declared null and void, on the ground of legal fraud and wilful misrepresentation, and ordered that the plaintiffs should account for the profits of the works while in their possession, and that the defendant should refund all the money received under the contract, with the dividend to which it had been entitled. The motion was made for the purpose of asking the Court to interfere and prevent the defendants from parting with or transferring a quantity of stock, amount ing to the sum of 192,7601., alleged to be the produce of ' the bank notes received by the defendant, John Attwood, from the British Iron Company under this contract. Now, as the contract had been set aside as fraudulent, it clearly would follow that nothing done under it could be considered as legal or could stand ; therefore, if those notes, so received by Mr. Attwood, had still been in his hands, it was clear that they would be considered as the property of the British Iron Company. Many cases at common law had been cited by Counsel for the plaintiff, which on the part of the defendant were said to I e no precedent for that Court, and that they had been im properly brought under its notice. He considered they were very properly cited for the purpose for which they were used, viz., to show that where property acquired by fraud was clearly traced, it could be followed. As ke said ‘., tote, hod those notes still b er. tt.t , ituvol l / 4 :013 of 311:. Attwood, he would have interfeted to prevent him from parting with them. It was said for the defendant that this case was similar to that of Lord Bolingbroke v. Cator in 2d Brown; there Lord Bolingbroke sold an estate as free from incumbranees, and applied the purchase money to the purchase of stock, which was vested in trusjf, tees. Cator did not apply to the Court to set aside the contract, but that he might have a lien on the stock to compensate him for the loss he sustained by the incum brances ; in fact, by his very application be confirmed the contract. In his opinion that case did not at all apply to the present one. These notes having been laid out in the purchase of stuck, the next point to he con sidered was, whether any injunction should issue as ap• plying to the said stock. _ _ _ " - Tl;e case of Taylor v. Sir Thomas P:umer, had been cited. By it it was decided that where property obtained ny fraud was applied to the purchase of other property, the substituted property, if clearly traced, was liable, and could be followed ; therefore, if this stock had still con tinued to stand in the name of Mr. John Attwood, and had been clearly proved to be the produce of the notes in question, an injunction must have been granted. fhe question then was whether the stock was the pro duce of those notes. The evidence upon that point vas extremely clear up to a certain point—the checks r id by the British Iron Company to Mr. , Attwood were presen ed .t the Bank of England, and that of Poole & Co., for which marked notes were given, and these identical notes are traced into the bank of Hammersley and Co. The evi dence on this point is, that Mr. Attwood delivered these same notes to his broker, in order that he might purchase ,tock. The broker pays them into the hands of Darien and Co., his bankers, in order that they might apply them to the payment of those stockholders from whom he might purchase it. Darien and Co. pay those stockholders, not in the identical notes, but certainly on account of them they pay them an equivalent ; therefore, in his opinion, the stock could only be considered as the produce of those notes, and as much so as if the notes themselves had been paid by Darien and Co. Therefore he should be of opi nion, that if the stock bad continued in the name of Mr. Attwood, the injunction would have been granted. But such was not the case ; for in 1831, when this suit was originally instituted, it was found that this same identical -um of stock, even to the fractions, was transferred by Mr. Atwood into the name of Phoebe Attwood, his mo ther, sod it is strongly stated on the other side that this transaction took place without any consideration. An. other circumstance that was strongly insisted upon by the plaintiffs was, that, after the transfer, Mr. Attwood re ceived from his mother a power of attorney, by which he received the dividends ; but at the time when it was ex pected the Court would have given judgment it was found that that power was revoked, and a new one made to a stranger named Wells. It was insisted that these circum stances clearly showed that the property was still in Mr. Att wood, and that his mother acted merely as trustee for him. There were no affidavits made on the other side. They had had the opportunity of showing that the property be longed to Mrs. Phoebe Attwood, and that a valuable con sideration had been given for the transfer. That they had not done ; therefore the injunction must be granted in the terms prayed. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DA Y.)

CITI', TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the French mail this morning the accounts from Amsterdam state, that although the cold vreather for these few days has been severe, there has not beta any sick sent to the hospitals from the army, and it is impossible to de scribe the enthusiasm that prevails amongst the troops ; the various entrenchments and inundations baying been accomplished by the soldiers. Accounts from Brussels state that two Prussian regi ments have arrived at Neuss, a short distance from Bel gium, on the side of Veratoo, and the head quarters of the Belgian army are to be esrablished at Lierre to be near that of the head quarters of the French army. A letter from the Hague states that the Prince of Orange insisted at a Council held, on an immediate attack of the Belgian army, and that he was sure of victory, -yen if the French army had entered Belgium, but the King opposed the resolution. Letters from Frankfort state that symptoms of war now appear in all directions. The Russian troops are can toned on the extremity of Poland. Great masses of Prus sians were proceeding to the Rhine. Travelers who were proceeding from Dusseldotff to Brussels could not pass the frontiers, as the roads were encumbered with troops, and in Germany the reserves were called out. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals this morning, not even a sbip letter. Indeed we cannot expect any important informa tion from the theatre of war at Antwerp until the latter end of the week. It will require two or three days for the French to bring► up their heavy battering train and break ground, as well for their army to take up a position to cover the siege, previous to which, no doubt, they will sumnicals General Chasse to surrender the citadel. At a Council held at Brussels, it was decided that the French army should only act, but should General Chasse fire one gun on the town of Antwerp, that would be signal for the French army to commence hostilities. According to the great enthusiasm which prevails both in the Dutch nation and her armies, it is not likely that the Prince of Orange will remain long a quiet spectator, and suffer the citadel of Antwerp to fall without trying to relieve it ; therefore there is every pro bability that the courage of the Dutch army will be put to the test.
