(Late Colburn and Bentley.) -- rte 47 - * tilt* LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1832. No further intelligence has been received from Belgium, nor can any be expected until to morrow, as Marshal GERARD was not to sum- Mon the citadel of Antwerp before yesterday morning, or late on Tuesday night. Such is the information brought by a Spanish courier, with despatches from the Belgian Minister, dated on he morning of the 20th. It was understood t hat Marshal GERARD would allow Gene ' al CHASSE twenty-four hours for his an swer; so that it could not be known until 1 ast night, even supposing the summons t o have been made in the night of the 20th, whether the Dutch Commander would hold out or not. Every thing indicated his ntention of refusing to obey the summons ; :Ind as it was by no means probable that the 't'ench Commander-in-Chief would allow fig t her time to enable CHASSE to communicate with his Government,—the intentions of the Fre nc h having been made sufficiently known 'tt the Hague,—hostilities would commence t his day, unless the citadel surrendered. these, however, would, in the first instance, lie confined to the Dutch outposts, as it Would require four or five days to prepare t he trenches for a regular siege. By the 27th every thing was to be ready for operations on a large scale; and here, perhaps, has arisen the error of the Brussels Correspondents of the Morning Papers, who state that hostilities were lint to commence before that time. We have t'eason to believe that if the citadel has nut been already surrendered, the French army have this day given oth er i n di cat i ons o f t h e wor k w hi c h t hey have in hand than mere menaces ; and in he course of to-morrow we may expect the news. The following letter, dated Antwerp, Nov. 20 , has been received in town this morning : " Yesterday the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours arrived "'fore the gates of this city, and proceeded by the village :,Bergerhout to the village of Mercieu at the head of the °t l l regiment of the line a n d t h e Lancers of Nemours. 1 t hey have established th e i r h ea d- quar t ers a t th e l a tter vil age, where it is supposed Marshal Gerard, who was yes. te rday at the count r y ho use o f B aron O sy , w ill a l so repa i r . the following troops passed through Alalines:-28,427 14 funtry, and 8,236 horse ; passed through Boom, 14,552 Irlfantry, and 4,277 horse. Total, 42,872 infantry, and 12, 513 cavalry. • " Yesterday morning all the Belgian posts were relieved 6 Y the French, the whole line round the citadel. None of the French troops have, however, entered the town. It la rumoured that Marshal Gerard was last night in this to wn, and that the question would be made to General 'retard, if he would consider the town as neutral ? Should th , case, however, be contrary, that 10,000 troops were enter the town and replace the Belgians, who were to ''aeuate. Several persons believe in this, especially as efts of the French officers make mention of the difficulty of attacking the citadel outwards." Extract from the agent to Lloyd's at Antwerp, slated Nov. 20 : " The navigation continues uninterrupted, and all ves v ,„"' are allowed to sail through the Dutch gun-boais." We have given copious extracts from the F rench Papers of Tu es d a y i n another part of \ lie Sun. All accounts concur in stating that t 7' DUPIN will be elected to the Presidency of le Chamber of Deputies. It now appears that the assassin, or mock assassin, who fired at Louis PHILIP has e ffected his escape ! This simple fact has awakened a world of suspicion in Paris. The contents of the Brussels papers, received t his morning, almost all refer to the movements f the French and Belgian troops. It appears 'Y the accounts from the Hague, that the Se oticl Chamber of the States General were not 4( ) unanimous in voting the supplies for war as w e were led to believe by previous reports. The numbers were 24 to 12 and 31 to 15, I o that one-third at l eas t o f the Senators were t ,°/* peace. Perhaps in a week two-thirds will 'e of that opinion : liausszts, Nov. 18.—Marshal Gerard has addressed ‘Proclamation to the French army. It is said that Sir R. Adair has protested against an expression in this ad dress. The Marshal tells his army that Holland, by not conforming to the arbitration of the five Powers, and by refusing to execute the decisions of the Conference, has by that circumstance declared war against the Powers, and that France and England have taken up the gauntlet thus thrown down by the Dutch. Sir R. Adair affirms that England does not make war on Holland ; that there is a great difference between coer cive measures, tending to the execution of a treaty, and war, tending to the invasion of the territory, and some times to the overthrow of the state ; that the difference between the results of war and of coercive measures shows that war is not intended, at least on the part of England. The grand headquarters of the Belgian army will be fixed at Lierre, on the 18th. The head-quatters of the several divisions are now as follows : First division at Diest ; second at Herrenthals ; third at Tirlement ; fourth at Terveuren. The van-guard of the French army, which arrived yes terday evening, is to march this morning to Malines. The following is the arrangement for the passage of the French troops through Malines : Men. Horses. 1 dth , 11,220 19th, 6,150 20th. 7,600 21st, 6,150 22d, 520 2.3 d. 520 Total, :312060 Rogier, Minister of the interior, has been re-elected Deputy by the district of Turnhout : out of 156 he had 145. BRUSSELS, Nov. I9.—The Duke of Orleans and Ne mours left yesterday, with the Van Guard for Milines. The head-quarters of the Doke of Orleans are now at Contich, and are going to be fixed at Merxem beyond Antwerp, where they will probably remain during the siege. Marshal Gerard will be there this evening. A Belgian Cabinet Messenger set out yesterday after noon with despatches for London. A number of officers of the staff of the French army set out yesterday, in different directions, and aho estafettes. The Courrier Belge says, "according to all appearance, the first operations against the Citadel of Antwerp, will not begin in less than eight or ten days. Marshal Gerard has declared that he will make no proclamation to his army till it is all assembled before the Citadel, and till he has re ceived his final instructions from Paris." The protest of Sir R. Adair was against a passage in the proclamation of General Evain. It does not appear that Marshal Gerard has yet made any procla mation. Yesterday evening (says the Gazette of the province of Luxemburg), an express from Luxemburg brought three despatches to General Tabor. Two hours afterwards a courier was despatched from Arlon to Brussels. One of the despatches relates to M. Pescatore. The Diet de mands that he shall he released in eight days, promising that M. Thorn shall be immediately set at liberty. Prussia❑ troops are continually passing through Gre nenmacher, coming from or going to Luxemburg. It is observed that the garrison of that fortress is gradually increasing. From 15,000 to 20,000 Prussian troops are expected at Cologne in a few days. BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—The day before yesterday the King gave audience in the morning to Marshal Gerard and General Desprez, and transacted business with Ge nerals Goblet and Evain. The deputation of the Senate will to-day present to the King the address in answer to the speech from the :hrone. The day before yesterday, despatches from Paris ren dered a conference necessary between the King, Marshal Gerard, and General Evain. Immediately after this conference, expresses were despatched from the Palace to General Hurel, at Diest ; General Gcethals, at Tirle ment ; General Duvivier, at Liene. The Union has the following article :—" It is said that despatches of great importance were received by the Government the day before yesterday; they made several conferences necessary between the King and Marshal Gerard, who has also had several conferences with the Ministers ; whether they relate to the best mea sures to he taken before beginning the siege, or whether some incident has occurred to render the situation of our Ministry still more embarrassing, it is certain that on Sunday and Monday there were many communications backwards and forwards between our Ministers and the French and English Ambassadors." The Courrier says 1—" The news that a considerable number of Prussian troops is assembling on our frontiers is confirmed by depatches received yesterday evening by the Government, and at the head-quarters of Marshal Gerard. Crevel and Aix-la-Chapelle are the chief places of rendezvous of these troops which thus threaten not only the province of Limburg, but that of Liege. The French Government is said to have lately advised our Go vernment to put the citadel of Liege in a respectable state of defence." General Evain returned last night from a tour in East and West Flanders. General Desprtz, who set out for Antwerp yesterday morning, was expected to return last night, and will finally leave Brussels to-day for the head quarters, fixed for the present at Lierre. nix HAGUE, Nov. 18.—On the 17th the Second Chamber of the States-General voted the financial laws for 1833 ; that of the expenditure by 24 votes to 12 ; those in the ways and means, the ordinary taxes, and the forced loan, by 31 to 15 ; and that after the Minister of Finance had given the assurance that the Government, in union with the nation, would merit the approbation of posterity ! In this sitting the same Minister being asked whether the citadel of Antwerp would be evacuated, anti whether the 2d ban of the militia (schuttery) would be called out, answered, that the point in question now was, not the discussion of one or more articles of the treaty, but that the object was the humiliation of the Nether lands; that at the present moment force must be opposed to force ; and that we must endeavour to retain what we have ; that the evacuation of the citadel was considered as a measure of coercion, which would be succeeded by a second, that by a third, &c. As fur the 2d ban of the civic guard, he would not say whether it would be called out in twu, three, or four days, but he could, however, state that his Majesty had this very day signed a financial decree to give more energy to the measures' that may be adopted for calling this ban into action ; the King having received the faculty of doing this if necessary. BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.—There is something not quite clear in this affair of the intervention, viz., that the French army, which at first was to he of only 30,000 men, is now above 75,000 men, including 15,000 cavalry. Of what use is this cavalry to besiege 4,000 or 5,000 men in their citadel ? Are their sallies feared ? Or is some other contingency foreseen against which it is necessary to take precautions ? One thing, however, cannot be doubted, in the midst of all this uncertainty ; it is, that if we have not the honour of taking the citadel of Antwerp ourselves, we shall at least be allowed to see it taken, and to pay the expense of the show.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 19. We have Jamaica Papers to the 4th of October. Some display of bad feeling had been exhibited at Savannah-le-Mar, but nothing se rious. The prorogation of the House of Assem bly l•had been further extended to October 30. We learn by the advices from New Orleans to the end of September, that the city was very sickly, and there was no doubt the yellow fever was prevailing to a very considerable extent, and that even some creoles and acclimated persons had been attacked. As, however, the season was far advanced, it was hoped the sickness would not be of long duration. We have commercial advices from Calcutta to the 25th of June. Business remained in the same dull state as at the previous advices, and the indigo prospects continue to promise well. The market was not very largely supplied with silk, or silk piece goods, and prices were steady. Rice was in some request for England. Piece goods were without any improvement, but woollens were in rather better demand, although the price was without alteration. Cotton twist effected but small sales, as the holders were look ing for higher prices. There was great back wardness in the purchase of all metals ; and copper, iron, and spelter were rather lower. A large supply of ale had been received, and the prices had materially given way. Wines also did not find ready sale. The Exchange and freight were unaltered. During the month of May, seven vessels had arrived at Calcutta from Eng. land ; one from Boston ; and one from Bordeaux One of the French Papers (the Messager des Choral-es) has beet.' publishing a series of arti cles in the shape of a literary review, against the free trade bias, which, it appears to apprehend, the French Ministry entertain. We must confess that the ignorance of the first principles of com merce which some of the most influential men of all parties in France have manifested, do not give us much hope of any French Ministry soon altogether abandoning the short-sighted policy to which our contemporary is so warmly at tached; but we are induced to notice these arti cles of the Messager des C'hatares, on account of the resemblance they bear to the lucubrations of the anti-free-traders on this side of the water, and the singular manner in which the facts and arguments of one monopolist, are opposed to and destroy the facts and arguments of another. The illessager des Chatares, in its third commer cial article says, with the greatest gravity : " In order to obtain success, that is to say, any profit, in free trade, we must fulfil three conditions : " Either produce that which no other nation has, or can have ; " Or produce cheaper ; " Or, lastly, navigate at a lower price, or at least at a price as low as that of rival nations. It may wound our national vanity, but we must confess that we do not fulfil one of these conditions." We will comfort our French friend, by assu ring him that he must be mistaken ; for if France did not fulfil any one of these conditions, it would be impossible for her long to have any fo reign commerce whatever, inasmuch as no trade can be permanently carried on at a loss to any party whatever. The French reviewer thus proceeds:— " One article only, in tolerable demand, is peculiar to us, and it is wine, particularly I3ourdeaux wine; but we are not without rivals in this article, for all the nations of the English, American, or Spanish races, prefer stronger and better keeping wines in hot climates; and it has besides its limit, because, being an article of luxury in the country which produces it, abroad, it can only be consumed by the rich." Whatever weight our French neighbours may think due to these assertions, it is an indisputa ble fact that the wines of France furnish her with an article of large export, which, under a system of free trade, would inevitably become larger. The writer then proceeds in a strain which would make us believe that he had copied from the Morning Herald or the Morning Post, if, unluckily, the lines in italics did not directly contradict, the often, and hardily repeated assertions of our unscrupulous contemporaries:— " Prussia consumes our wine to the amount of a million of francs, and Sweden to the amount of 500,000 francs." Haying stated as much as will suit his argu ment, our French friend does not mention the quantity consumed by England, but proceeds thus : " The English Cape wines, the culture of which is rapidlg extending, do not give us much chance of the consumption of our wines being increased in Africa, Ame. rica, or Asia." This is a fine sweeping sentence, full of false assumption, worthy of the cause the writer ad vocates. He continues:— " We have no article of any bulk or value among our manufactures which is not to be found cheaper in some other parts of the world. In the silk trade even, Germany is already on a level with us ; in the plain silk stuffs (the only branch which is of any importance) England is at this moment surpassing us ; and the whole of Europe has long since been beaten by China. Is further proof wanted to show our inability to cope with these countries?" We by no means wish all that is said by the French writer to be taken an pied de la lettre ; but there is sufficient truth contained in the last paragraph to make us desirous of impressing it upon the minds of our own manufacturers. They complain of French goods interfering with the produce of their looms, but here is the charge retorted by a French prohibitionist. That English manufactures of all kinds do find their way into France, in spite of prohibitive duties, is well known to all who have visited that country ; and although no one can deny that French silks come to England, yet the increase in the quantity we manufacture clearly proves that the employment of our labourers in silk is not diminished by the comparative free dom of importation allowed by us. If we re turned to prohibitive duties, French silk goods would still be imported, but by smugglers in stead of by merchants. A great outcry has been made about the cheapness of foreign shipping, including that of France, but let us see what the writer before us says upon this subject An official inquiry, made in our ports, has proved that our navigation is the dearest in the world. At the time of the expedition to the Morea, the French ship owners required twenty francs per ton per month for the use of their vessels, whilst the American captains, acci dentally in our harbours, asked only fourteen, and Nea politans found a reasonable profit in twelve francs." The following sentence, as coming from an enemy, will, perhaps, have more weight with those of our manufacturers who place faith in the fallacious arguments addressed to their fears and selfishness by the RosiNsoNs and DAvisEs of the Legislature, than any thing we could urge. The French political econo mist says : " England has only abandoned so much of her prohibi tive system as has been demonstrated to be useless, and consequently superfluous. In the facilities which she has appeared to offer to foreign commerce, she has taken care to stop short at the point which suffices to guarantee her monopoly. In fact, of what service is it to impose a duty of 100 or 150 per cent, when one of 15 is sufficient ? Not only is the excess of duty superfluous, but hurtful, for it only acts as a premium upon smuggling, whilst the reduced duty insures its own receipt." Is it not strange that a man who sees so clearly the effect of a high duty imposed upon French goods in England, should advocate a prohibitive duty on English goods entering France ? The article of our contemporary concludes in a fashion worthy of the Herald. He gives the following table of the dealings of France with the respective countries named ; and although he fears the absurdity of saying that France is a loser by the difference between the two sets of figures, contends that they afford a proof of the wisdom of restrictions on foreign commerce : " The following seems the state of our commercial re lations with the undermentioned Powers in 1825, and they have not since then improved :.

It would have rejoiced the hearts of our friends at the Morning Herald and Post, and would doubtless have been extracted by them as a proof of French wisdom. Fas est ab poste doceri, and we shall occasionally hold up the nonsense of the French soi disant political economists to the ridicule of our countrymen, in hopes that they will more readily see and repu diate their own kindred absurdities.

Their Honours severally gave their opinion at some length, but the question being one purely of law, the result only will prove of general interest. The ques tion was, whether the petitioner could prove against the separate estate of one of the bankrupts, under these cir cumstances. The debt was originally joint, but by way of security, tke bankrupts gave a joint and separate bond to the petitioner, and also a warrant of attorney, which gave him a right of entering up a joint judgment. He entered up judgment shortly before the commission was issued, and having done so, the question was, whether the bond was merged in the judgment, so al to deprive the petitioner of the power he bad under the bond, of proving against either the joint and separate estate, and throw him entirely upon his power of proving against the joint estate under the judgment. Their Honours were unanimously of opinion, that the bond was merged in the judgment, and that, therefore, the petitioner could not prove against the separate estate till the separate creditors were satisfied. Petition dismissed with costs. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Sta,-I❑ order to have the full benefit of the late Act, allowing proceedings to go on in vacation, a Court should be held stAtedly, say once a fortnight during the year (a single Judge would do, and an Act might autho rize him to act to this extent for all the Courts) to give judgment on sham demurrers and pleas ; and a plaintiff ought also to be at liberty to give notice of trial for any of those days, if undefended causes or such as the plaintiff may elect, reserving a right to the defendants to apply to the Chiefs to transfer any of them to his paper. A PRACTICAL MAN. City, Nov. 22, 1832. TI-IE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Buenos Ayres Papers to the 19th of August, and Quebec to the 18th of October, have been received at the North and South American Coffee•hous , but their contents are not of the least interest. The New York Packet of the Ist of November, has also arrived at Liverpool; the Papers are not as yet received. The Buenos Ayres Paper is filled with Bulletins from Montevideo of the insurrection of the negro soldiers, who had made a sortie from the citadel, and no opposition was offered to them. A communication from the Pre%ident, Revera, dated, Head-quarters, Aug. 9, states that he was marching towards Montevideo, with 1,800 men, to sustain the movement for the re-establish ment of the laws and the constituted authorities. THE FUNDS. According to all accounts from the German Papers a general war is approaching. Prussian troops in abundance are coining down to the Rhine, still we have every reason to believe that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed, and all these demonstrations on the part of Prussia is to keep down the revolutionary spirit which prevails in Ger many as well as to curb the French army from approach ing towards the Rhine or going beyond the limits of the Convention between France and England. It is true what a public journal states this morning, that the Pi ussian Funds fell on the 12th instant 3 per cent., but the writer was not aware that an express from Berlin brought later dates yesterday with an improvement in the said Funds. Consols opened this morning at 83a for the Account with little doing. We can expect nothing of importance from Antwerp until next week. No further news from Portugal. HALF-PAST ONE. A great deal of business has been doing in the Funds since the early part of the morning. Consols, which were 831 for the Account, went up to 83k, and for next time 834 ;at present they are 831 for the Account. This rise is attributed to a good money market, and a scarcity of stock. The Dutch steamer has not, as yet, arrived ; it is not expected it will bring any news of importance excepting the price of the Dutch Funds. In the Foreign Market little is doing. Jamaica papers to the 3d of October, have been re ceived. The House of Assembly was to meet on the 30th October. The Dutch Budget has been carried by a large majority. THREE 0' CL 0 CX.

His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS having disposed of all the causes in his paper to-day, none of which were of any public importance, rose shortly before one o'clock. At rising, his Honour stated that be had been informed by the Registrar that there were now no causes ready for hearing, the subpoenas to hear judgment not being return. able, As, however, there are plenty of causes set down on further directions, his Honour would proceed with them to-morrow after the consents. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. His Honour, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, proceeded with motions to-day. DEWS v. BERESFORD. In this case an order had been made calling upon the defendant to pay a sum of 1,200/. into Court, which he having refused to do, an attachment was issued against hitn ; he was taken by the Sheriff on that attachment, and was subsequently committed upon a Habeas Corpus Cul7l causis, to the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench. There he was admitted to the rules on giving the usual security, and, having made his escape, Mr. Knight applied upon motion for an order on the Marshal to pay in that amount. The VICE•CHANCELLOIt inquired if there had ever been any such order made against the Marshal. Mr. KNIGHT was not aware that there had. Mr. KINDERSLEY, who appeared for the parties, trusted that the Court, as the amount was large, would give time for its being paid in. His HONOUR ordered the money to be paid in a month. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. ROBERT OAKLEY AND OTHERS. Mr. Anom.uus on the part of the five defendants, who had been in confinement by an order of the Justices of Bedfordshire for ten months past, appeared to support a rule for their discharge from custody, on the ground of several informalities in the proceedings. The defendants, who were poor labouring men, had been convicted in penalties of 501. each, on the complaint of Edward Penfold, for holding forcible possession of a mansion-house, called Heath-house, and divers out-houses, in the parish of Ley ton Buzzard, in Bedfordshire. The Learned Counsel pro ceeded to show that the conviction, which was male under the statute of Richard 11., when Mr. LLOYD in support of the conviction said, he should not rely on that statute, but on that of the Bth Henry VI., cap. 90. Mr. AnoLnaus said the statute of Henry VI. provided that, upon the Justices going to the place which was forcibly held, and inquiring into the matter, by calling a sufficient number of persons of the same county, they might re-seize the premises, and put the party dispossessed in full possession of them. It also provides for the pu nishment of the parties for the forcible entry. One ob jection to the conviction was, that it did not state that Edward Penfold, being in possession, was forcibly put out of possession, or that he had not assigned the posses sion. Another was, that it did not charge the defendants with obtaining forcible possession, but merely holding it forcibly. Mr. Justice TAUNTON—If you were inclined to con tradict the facts you might have traversed. Mr. ADOLPHUS—My Lord, these are five paupers,who have no money to do that. Mr. Justice TAUNTON-The law is the same to the poor as the rich, and it is open to all. I see the con viction states an entry, but not a forcible entry. Mr. AnoLPHus said that was one of his objections. The statute of Richard evidently contemplated a forcible entry as well as a forcible detainer. Mr. LLOYD contended, that the conviction was good ; the defendants were not charged with obtaining forcible entry, but with a forcible detainer. The CHIEF JUSTICE.-.-It must be a forcible detainer of that which they had no right to possess, that must be your argument. Mr. LLovn said he should contend, that, although there bad been a peaceable entry (for in the present case the entry though illegal was peaceable), yet, if the reten tion were forcible, it came within the statute of Henry VI. The sth of Richard 11., chap. 8, was an Act merely declaratory that the forcibly obtaining possession of land, houses, &c., and holding them with strong hand, was an offence punishable at the King's will ; that Act was found inoperative, and then the 15th of Richard H., chap. 2, was passed, by which Justices were empowered to view the premises with a sufficient power to commit to gaol all persons found in forcible possession, to answer and pay fines to the King. That Act was found according to the writers not to answer the intended purpose, and the Sth Henry VI., chap. 9, was subsequently passed, which confirmed the former statutes, and as he (Mr. Lloyd) contended so enlarged the remedy as to provide for the punishment by fine or imprisonment of persons forcibly entering and for cibly retaining possession. The Learned Counsel, there fore, submitted that the conviction was good. Their Lonnsuirs, after a long consultation among them selves, delivered their opinion seriatim. They were all of opinion that there was not enough stated on the face of the record to sustain the conviction, and to show that the Magistrates had jurisdiction to fine and im prison the defendants, or even to turn them out of possession. It was true that a forcible detention was made punishable, even where the entry had not been made forcibly, but where the forcible detention only was charged it should be made to appear that it was an un lawful detention, which did not appear in this case. A possession might be originally peaceable and lawful, and the subsequent detention might be forcible, if it be in re sisting an entry by other parties; but it did not follow that forcible detention was an unlawful one; and it could only be a fotcible and unlawful detention that gave the Justices jurisdiction. It did not appear in this case that there was any unlawful detention, and therefore the con viction was invalid, and the defendants were entitled to their discharge. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court would give no opinion whether an action would lie against the Justices. Air. LLOYD said he feared that that would be the certain result. The case occupied the Court all the forenoon. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) FISHER V. DE BEGREY. The plaintiff, in this case, is a judgment creditor, who had sued out, and placed in the bands of the Sheriff of Middlesex, a writ offi. fa. in June. On the first day of the present Term, the plaintiff ruled the Sheriff to make a return to the writ; and, on the 12th of November, Mr. Holt, on the part of the Sheriff, obtained a rule to show cause why he should not be relieved from snaking such re turn, on the ground of the defendant's being a servant to the Bavarian Ambassador, acting as a chorister in his chapel. Mr. FoLLET-r now appeared to show cause against the rule, and contended that the rule must be discharged. The defendant came to this country in 1814, and was a native of France. From that time up to 1828 he supported himself as a public singer, giving concerts, &c., and was also a mu sical composer, and had sold various pieces of music, so that he was clearly a trader, and was liable to come under the bankrupt laws. It appeared that in 1828 his name was returned to the Sheriff's•ofyice as connected with the Bavarian Embassy by Lord Dudley, then Foreign Secre tary; and Lord Palmerston, since that time, had also in serted it in a list which he had sent to the same office; but this only proved that his name was returned to them by the Ambassador as in his service. Now it was matter of history-that about 60 years ago there was an Ambassador from Bavaria, who was supposed to have made a large suns of money by selling places to parties, in order that they might claim the privilege. The Learned Gentleman cited many cases in which the privilege had been refused, unless it was clearly shewn that the parties were actually the ser vants of the Ambassador and receiving wages from him for performing services. Now what was sworn here ? Merely that the defendant's name was in the list, and that on the 4th of November he did sing in the chapel of the Ambassador. They did not venture to swear that on any other day he had ever done so. Besides, the statute did not protect the whole of the goods of the parties ; there fore the Sheriff must make his return. Mr. HOLT, i❑ support of the rule, argued that the very fact of the defendant's name being inserted in the list, authorized and sent by the Secretary of State to the Sheriffs office was ground sufficient for the Sheriff to ask the Court to grant the present application. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to another part of the case, when he was interrupted by Mr. Baron BAYLEY, who believed that the Court were against him on the first point, therefore it would be unnecessary to go into the other. The law was that when a writ was put in the hands of a Sheriff, he must make a return to it. In the affidavits of the Sheriff there was not sufficient to justify the Court in coming to the conclusion that the writ ought not to be executed. The case was not made clear to the Court, therefore, without deciding any other point, the Rule must be discharged. The other Judges agreed, and delivered their opinions at great length.—Rule discharged accordingly. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince TALLEYRAND had a long conference yesterday with Viscount PALMERSTON at the Foreign office. Sir W. Sriturir, from St. Vincent's, had an interview yesterday with Viscount GODERICH at the Colonial-office. The Right Hon. C.

The Neapolitan Minister and the Austrian Minister on a special mission transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. A numerous deputation of the Australian Company headed by Mr. J. Smrrit, M.P., and Mr. Davis, had a conference with Viscount GODERICH yesterday at the Cc lonial-office. Viscount ALTHORP left town at an early hour on Tues day morning, to join his father, Earl SPENCER, at his seat near St. Albans. The Noble Viscount was expected to return to town last evening. The President of the Board of Trade and the Belgian Minister transacted business at the Foreig❑-office on Tues. i'ay. A King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign-office yi s tet-day, with despatches for Viscount PALMERSTON from Viscount GRANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris. The Austrian Minister on a special mission paid a visit to Baron Manly, the Prussian Minister, yesterday.

Dr. YOUNG'S tragedy of The Revenge, which, how ever beautiful as a poem, is, as an acting drama, deficient in spirit-stirring interest, was last night revived. The part of Zauga was performed by Count TAROJSTRO, an Italian nobleman (said to have been the friend and com panion of our illustrious BvitoN). The features of the new candid ite for scenic honours, are intelligent and ex pressive. His voice is remarkably full, sweet, and clear. His action is not good, it wants grace and freedom ; and his mode of treading the stage, is open to the same objec tion. These faults may, however, be easily remedied, if he seriously intends to adopt the theatrical profession. He pronounces the English language extremely well, infi nitely better tha❑ foreigners, even after a long residence in this country, are wont to do; but still the continental .went prevailed, and sometimes broke unpleasantly on the native ear. His conception of the character was just, and his reading, if we except a few passages, where an undue emphasis was laid on the pronoun, was accurate. The scene in which he first excites the jealousy of Alonzo he played with much ability. In the succeeding scene, he gave the well-known lines... " If you forgive, the world will think you wise, If you forget, the world will think you good ; But if you take her to your arms again, The world will think you very, very kind," with striking effect. The passage which follows, where he incites Alonzo to eclipse the Grecian and the Roman fame, by the immolation of his passionately-beloved bride, was forcibly delivered. The final scene, where Zanga exults over the dupe of his deep-laid machinations, was well acted. The new performer was loudly applauded throughout the evening ; and on the falling of the curtain w,s constrained, in consequence of an almost unanimous c.ll, to come forward and pay his devoirs to the audience. Mr. COOPER'S Don Alonzo is a performance of merit. Miss PHILLIPS sustained the character of Leonora with a beautiful and most becoming modesty. We desire not to see the part better performed ; an i if we did, we do not think our wish could be gratified. Her concluding scene was exquisitely pathetic. The tragedy was re ceived by a crowded house with every mark of satisfaction. It is reported that Prince AUGUsTUs of Prussia is gone on a minion to ascertain the real state of the Austrian forces in Italy, and study the genuine feel ings of the people of the country. The Marquis and Marchioness of LANS- Dowma are expected in town on Saturday next, from Paris. Yesterday morning, while a groom of the Duke of WELLINGTON, who was apparently in liquor, was exercising his master's horses in Hyde Park, he rode up against a one-horse chaise, in which were two ladies; their horse took fright, and after running a short distance, overturned the vehicle and threw the ladies to the ground ; one of them was :severely bruised, the other fortunately escaped unhurt. Two policemen who were near at the time of the accident refused to in'erfere wi4i the groom, ors the plea that they were off duty. We are sure that the Duke of WELLINGTON will not let this outrage pass un punished. Proof will be given if required.— Times. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--KEAN and MACREADY are, we perceive, announced to play here to gether in a night or two, in Oth e ll o . Thi s is t h e first tune of their joint pet formance—a novelty which cannot fail to whet public curiosity. Othello, it is well known, is KEAN's master-piece; MacitEmar's lago we have never seen, but should suppose, he would play it con amore. LIVES OF BANDITTI AND ROBBERS.--We are requested to state that Mr. MACFARLANE'S new work " The Lives and Exploits of Banditti and Robbers in all parts of the World," was published this day by Mr. BULL, Holles-street, Cavendish•square. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. BELL and BRADFUTE ; and for Ireland, Mr. CUMMING, Dublin. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE REGENT'S PARK. —Orders have been issued by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for making a most extensive, and, to the public, a very beneficial alteration and improvement in the eastern portion of the Regent's Park, which has hitherto been left in an unfinished and unsightly state, be• ing principally let out fur the grazing of cattle, &c., and presenting but a sorry comparison with the western por tion of this delightful and healthy place. It is intended that a road, in continuation of the one already formed in a line with Portland-place, shall be made through the pre sent enclosed part of the Park in a straight line to the Zaological Gardens, having an entrance into the outer circle. This will be of vast accommodation to the public generally, and has been a long time much wanted, as nearly three quarters of a mile of ground will be thereby saved. On each side of the road, which will form a no• ble carriage drive, rows of trees will be planted, forming very agreeable avenues fur pedestrians ; the adjacent part of the Park will be laid out as pleasure grounds, similar to those opposite York, Cornwall, and Hanover Terraces, with gravel walks leading through the shrubberies to dif ferent entrances in the outer circle. Extensive plantations in tastefully selected situations, to heighten the effect of the different views, will be made, and the whole, when completed, will form one of the most delightful resorts in the vicinity of the metropolis. The ornamental piece of water in front of the principal entrance to the Park opposite Marylebone Church has been drained, and is plentifully sing sthoroughlystocked cleaned e dh a ve beenout the preserved, fish with and w which will i it i s be s re stored.o A stately mansion is also to be erected nearly opposite to the northern extremity of Cumberland-ter race, in the open part of the Park. It is generally under stood that on the completion of the object intended, the grounds will be thrown open to the public, with the ne cessary restriction for their preservation. SUPPOSED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT CAMDEN TOWN.—A paragraph under the above title was inserted in yesterday's paper, giving an account of the discovery of a dying man, named JOHN WHITBREAD, near Camden Town Bridge, who soon after expired and further stating that the whole neighbourhood had been thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement, in consequence of its being suspected that the deceased had been murdered. An inquest was yesterday held on the body, before Mr. STIRLING, at the King's Arms, Kentish Town, when there appeared no ground whatever for supposing that the unfortunate man had met his death in so horrible a man.. tier. When the deceased left his home he was not in possession of any money. After his death the sum of 9d. %vas found in his pocket, which it is supposed had been given him by charitably disposed individuals. It was proved that he was subject to fits, and the Jury, after hearing all the evidence, came to the following verdict : " That the deceased met with his death accidentally, and it is supposed that he fell down in a fit, and received the bruise upon his head either from a horse or carriage pass.. ing. The Jury express their regret that the part of the road where the deceased was found lying is so badly lighted." SUICIDE. —Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest teas held before Mr. HIGGS, at the Coach and Horses, Dean's yard, Westminster, on the body of a female known only by the cognomen of " Irish Elias," who for a length of time resided in that sink of vice called the Almonry, West !Muster. It appeared the deceased had been comtnitted to the House of Correction for 14 days, on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The term of her imprisonment ex pired on Friday last, when she returned to her old quar ters:he c h e u , t a h a e s r n e o p t a h i i r n e g d b t u o t p s e o v v e e t r a t l y c a b n y d m m i t i misery r s yt h s o t p a s r e a d o d h e p r o i r r! chased small quantities of laudanum from each, which she swallowed previous to lying down on her wretched bed at night. In the morning she was found quite dead, and a bottle containing a portion of the poisonous liquid lying near her. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died from the effects of laudanum." The deceased, we understand, was once a beautiful-looking female, and was formerly called " the handsome Irish girl," ald DO• ate
