and I will oily add, that whilst advocating the re novation when decayed, or the improvement when safe and practicable, of our Constitution, most fer vently do I join in the prayer of the commentator on our laws (Blackstone)—Esto perpetua ! I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ALPHA. 'law FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF MUNICIPAL POLICE. Let districts be formed. Let those districts he under superintendants. Let the districts be divided into sections of parishes ; or several united parishes may form a section. Let these sections be divided by companies of twenty, under serjeants. Let the sections be distinguished by the letters of the alphabet ; and the companies by numbers. Let each constable be obliged to wear a badge, with the letter of his section, and the number of his company. In case of disturbance, orders would be directed by the superintendants of sections, to the serjeants of companies; and thus the force would be speedily called out, and would be able to act in concert. Let mounted special constables be enrolled, whose ser vices should be available for the whole district; whilst those of the foot constables would be available only for their own sections. Let the whole be under the controul of the superintendant of the district. In large towns, such as Frorne, Bristol, &c. it seems desirable that a police should be formed on the plan of the London police, and in communication with it. If an organized plan of police of this description were formed, it is suggested that the discovery of offenders would be much facilitated; as accounts of a burglary, or other offence against the peace, would be communicated, without delay, to different parts of the kingdom. This police must he paid by rates, levied on the towns ; and it must lee conducted on the principles of the Metro politan Police Act. Let an amendment be made in the Acts of Parliament respecting constabulary forces ; and let the magistrates be empowered, at any time, to swear in constables for a county, as well as for tithings, or parishes. Let the jurisdiction of magistrates for towns be so far extended, that constab'es sworn in by the authorities of towns, having jurisdiction of their own, shall be able to act for the whole county in which such towns are situated. MONTAGU GORE. MIDDLE SEX SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced yesterday morning before THOMAS CONST, Esq., the Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates. William Smith was indicted for assaulting Edward Dear, on the 30th of December. The prosecutor, an elderly man, was formerly a butcher, and lives in Skinner -street, Somers-town. COURT—WeII, and what are you now ? Dear—l lives by crying— Counr—Live by crying--crying what? Dear— Tatees all hot, your Worship.—(Laughter.) COURT—WeII, what did the young man at the bar do to you? Dear—Lawk-a-daisy, Sir, I leads such a life with these butcher boys ; I went with my taters to the young master, and he was going to put a skewer and paper to my back, which they meant to light ; I was only lighted in that way a few nights before, go I gave him a gentle kick fur his pains, and down he knocked me, and I have been in pain ever since. A female was called to confirm the man's testimony. The defendant denied that he attempted to " placard" the complainant, nor should he have touched him but for his kicking him first over a leg already lame, and then be turned him out of his master's shop, as his language was shockingly " wulgar." A young man of the name of Loft, who saw the tran saction, said the young man (aged 70) was very turbulent to the defendant. By the COURT—Had never heard that boys were in the habit of fixing paper to his back and lighting it. Dear—Oh dear Lord God ! what next. Why, your Worship, this witness was the very fellow who did it, and I kicked his for it.—(Laughter.) - The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The COURT sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 40s. with leave to speak to the prosecutor, which reduced the sum to one• half. The prisoner was quite pennyless, and was locked up till the fine be paid. The Jury were then discharged till Friday next. CHOLERA AT LIMEHOUSE.-MEETING OF THE PAROCHIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Last evening, at eight o'clock, a very full meeting of the Parochial Board of Health took place at the Board room of the workhouse, for the purpose of adopting the most active measures to prevent the extension of the cholera, which has presented itself in the parish in three decided cases. The members of the Committee sat for several hours, and expressed their determination of adopt ing such measures as may be recommended by the Lon don Board, in consequence of the three suspected cases of Asiatic cholera which have recently occurred in the parish. The cases alluded to were these : On Sunday afternoon a man called on Mr. Livingston, one of the Overseers of the parish, to request that he would send the parish surgeon to see a female, named S *rah Ferguson, who resided in White's-rents, Fore street, and who lie described to be suffering, the greater part of the night and day, from violent spasms. Mr. Liv ingston, in consequence, accompanied Mr. Cumming, the parish doctor, to the house, and that gentle man, as well as Mr. Barnet, another medical gentle man who was called in, having declared the case to be cholera, the patient, with as little delay as possible, was removed to a building at the rear of the parish workhouse, but quite detached from that institution, and the most active remedies resorted to, to check the disease and re lieve her sufferings, but it was all to no purpose, for after suffering the greatest torture she at five o'clock breathed her last ! For some time previous to her death her body, and particularly her extremities, became quite blue, so that there could not be the slightest doubt of the case being Asiatic cholera, and what is generally termed the blue cholera. The deceased was in the enjoyment of the most robust health, and obtained a living by picking up coals and pieces of timber along the river side, and Was in the constant habit, even in the most i nc l ement weather, of wading knee-deep in the water and mud. It is not a little singular that her child, which is about eighteen months old, during the temporary cessation of pain of its mother, sucked for some time at her breast, yet it is still in perfectly good health. The next victim to this dreadful disease was the wife of an Irish labourer, named Shay. She had exhibited symp toms of the disease on Thursday, and was attended by Mr. Cumming, who considered her much better on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, however, she was much worse, and her daughter, a girl of twelve years of age, becoming seri ously ill, they were both removed to the workhouse at fiv% o'clock in the evening, and every attention paid to them. The mother died at about midnight, and the daughter at seven o'clock yesterday morning. Yesterday two medical gentlemen belonging to the Cen tral Board of Health examined the bodies of the three de ceased persons, and at three o'clock they were first rolled up in a pitched blanket, then placed in a coffin, and buried at a great depth in the corner of the church-yard. Shay, the husband of one of the deceased persons, and a second child, still remain in the building at the rear of the workhouse, where every attmtion is paid to them, and they appear in good health. At eleven o'clock last night there were no fresh cases either in Limehouse or the adjoining parishes. CITY COMPANIES.—The other day a very old Liveryman of one of the first companies of the Corpo ration of the City of London, who has been reduced from affluence to humble circumstances, applied to the Court by petition for the assistance of 51., but instead of giving any relief, the petition was rejected, apparently as a matter of course. A abort time since a move was made, and public meetings called, to bring these aristocratic and jobbing companies (for many of them deserve no better name) to account in a trifling measure to their poor Liverymen for their conduct and appropriation of their funds, but from What cause we cannot say (whether the parties were bought Over or not), every thing was dropped, and not a word snore beard on the subject. In the instance we now allude In, the funds are very extensive, and the Master, Wardens, and Court of Assistants are bound, in point of law as well al equity and justice, according to the wills of the parties Who have left money for that purpose, to relieve those of their Livery in distress. But no, they prefer spending hundreds a year in gorging, extravagance, and luxury; and whilst they continue the practice of calling every Member upon the Court merely on account of his pro perty, and putting aside even the eldest member because he may be in humble circumstances, so long will those Who ought to have some (aimoli] be shut out from all management and knowledge of the concerns of the com pany, and the poor man who may want relief apply for it in vain, as nothing but private interest with the Court of Avastants will prevail.--Prom a Correspondent of the Timm ZS PRIG Or THZ STOCKS TF Bank Stock "195 4% 3 per Cent.

The rumours respecting an intended alteration in the currency, by the issue of one pound notes, were last night put to rest by the declaration of Lord .A LTHORP that Government had no inten tion whatever on the subject. This announce ment was received with loud cheers. Though it may eventually be found necessary to have re course to some such remedy for the relief of the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural interests, we think Government act wisely in ab staining for the present from any measure that may distract their attention from the Reform Bill. Reform once carried will ensure the re dress of all other grievances. In the present state of the country Reform is the one thing needful. The cholera last night was the subject of a conversation in both Houses of Parliament. In the Lords, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for a series of papers (which were granted) il lustrative of the character and progress of the cholera, in order that the country might be put into full and speedy possession of all the facts connected with this extraordinary pestilence, observing at the same time, that a Bill would be brought in to enable Government to compel the different parishes to make increased ex ertions ; and in the Commons, Mr. POULETT THOMSON, in reply to one or two questions put by Mr. CROKER on the same subject, ob served that it was undoubtedly a fact that cho lera had reached London, but that the strictest medical inquiries were on foot, and that, as the best means of preventing any unnecessary ap prehension, Government had come to the reso lution of giving the earliest, the fullest, the cor rectest information on the subject through the me dium of the Public Journals. The Right Ho nourable Gentleman confirmed the statement of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE on the subject of the introduction of a new Bill, to furnish the most efficient means for correcting the spread of the pestilence. lhe House afterwards went into a Com mittee of Supply on the Navy Estimates, when Sir J. GRAHAM proposed resolutions for the service of three months. It was proposed that, for the future, the year's estimates should be from April to April. Sir H. PARNELL, who rose from the Opposition benches, spoke in favour of this new arrangement. Messrs. PEEL and GOULBURN also expressed their approbation of it. The Reform Bill was not proceeded with, consequently another night has been lost. It will be seen by reference to a letter from the Secretary of the Custom-house, that no vessels are to leave London with clean bills of health. This must be a serious blow to our commercial intercourse with other countries, but it cannot be helped ; vessels which have left for the last two days ought to have had foul bills, and they will consider their escape fortunate. We have received the Journal des Debuts o Tuesday, from which we copy the following : " ROME, JAN. 21.—The Civic Guard has announced to Cardinal Bernetti that they will consent to adopt the Pontifical cockade, and will give assistance to the Govern ment ; and they only demnad some new modifications in the civil and common laws. All this will be arranged without the assistance of the Austrians. The regular troops are to remain in the provinces, and it is expected that the Austrian troops will soon take their departure. " MADRID, FEB. 2. " The despatches our Government have received re lative to the expedition of Don Pedro, have been the cause of sending secret despatches to all the authorities in the provinces, inviting them to take the strictest meaoures in regard to those persons in favour of Don Pedro." German Papers of the 7th inst. have been re, ceived, but they contain little or no news. In reply to the questions put to him in the Chamber of Deputies, in respect to the ratifica tion of the protocols, M. DE MUELENAERE, Minister for Foreign Affairs to the King of the BELGIANS, appears to have said " that the refusal to ratify cannot be founded otherwise than on an allegation, and even a proof, that the Plenipo tentiaries have exceeded their powers." There must be some plausible pretext assigned for the non-ratification by either of the Great Powers of so solemn a treaty as the last of London, and inasmuch as it does not seem that any one of the Powers in question has suggested the excess of authority by its Ambassador, we must wait for a solution of the mystery in which their present conduct is involved. There are various considerations which we have before urged, as reasons for the disinclination of the Northern Powers to a continental war. Nevertheless, he would be a bold man who shuuld attempt to predict with certainty what the policy of the Holy Alliance will really lead to. Lord PAL MERSTON has already stated distinctly, in his place in the House of Commons, that which is a familiar axiom with every diplomatist, viz. that the ratification of a treaty by one or more of the contracting parties is equally binding upon them, though the other parties should never come in and ratify. Great Britain and France cannot, now, under any circumstances, depart from their solemn engagements to main tain inviolate the integrity and independence of the Belgian kingdom. We are at this moment solemnly bound to expel the Dutch from the citadel of Antwerp, if the Belgians call upon us to do so, and, in like manner, to fulfil every other stipulation that we have deliberately entered into, without reference to any course that the Emperor of RUSSIA may think fit to adopt in respect of the contracts which he has made in common with us. Let us only hope that the fulfilment of those stipulations may not involve us in dangers and difficulties, which would, at the present crisis, come upon us, to say the least, not very opportunely. The conduct of the Dutch KING, of whose new loans and new levies we hear daily, has for its object the same end for which the SULTAN stood out for so long a period against Great Bri tain, France, and Russia, viz. delay. Never were refusals more positive, or professions of hostility more decided, than those with which the Porte for a season successfully opposed the parties to the Greek Treaty, and yet the result was, that the Porte was obliged to yield to inevitable necessity. When we consider that the Spanish Government has not to this day recognized the independence of her South American Colonies, which have been de facto free for so many years—that there is a very large party in France who will never stoop to the recognition of the Citizen KlNG—and that a century elapsed before the claims of the STUARTS to the British Crown altogether vanished ;—when, in short, we reflect a little on the natural reluctance of men to yield their assent to being deprived of what they have once enjoyed and believed to be an inde feasible right, whether it be a Crown, or other enjoyable property—the obstinacy of the Dutch KING will appear to be sup ported by not a few precedents, all of which, however, lead to the conclusion, that it is unavailing to resist what is brought about by powers far superior to our own. The King of HOLLAND clings vainly to the hope that the Great Powers will, for his sake, inflict a war upon Europe. Whether, with such a war, Europe is, or is not, destined to be visited, the policy and duty of England and France is to throw their shields over Belgium, and so, with good faith and firmness, to await its approach. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of SUSSEX visited Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury.

Mr. Alhusaa had staked 5 to 1, and it was said wanted much to be off; at starting, even betting, and Abjer the favourite, who seemed ready to run over the other till the end of the first mile, when, either the horse or rider, or both, tired, and Mr. Usher, who, by t he bye, rode his maiden ride in a very neat steady stie, had it all his own way; perhaps there never was seen so bad a piece of horse manship as that of Mr. Heald's, who, to add to his funny appearance, wore spectacles. It is understood a fresh match is made. Lord de SAUMAREZ left town yesterday, to attend the funeral of his brother, JOHN SAUXIARTZ, Esq., who died last week at Guernsey. This morning, at a late hour, a duel took place at a field near Battersea, which is likely to be at tended with the most disastrous consequences. The par ties are General MoonE, a Knight Companion of the Bath, and a gentleman of the name of STAPLETON. Upon the parties firing, the shut of General Moona entered the body of his opponent, immediately beneath the heart. Mr. STAPLETON instantly fell, an d was c onveyed to his resi dence at the west-end of the town. Since then Mr. GUTHRIE has been called in, and has pronounced the wound to be fatal. The duel took place in the presence of nearly fifty persons. General MoonE was instantly taken into custody. The causes which led to this unfortunate event have not transpired.

To render every assistance in their power to obtain early accounts of Sickness, to cause faithful Reports to be made, and to communicate in all cases of difficulty with the Central Board. To suggest arrangements to forming Dispensaries at public places, where medicine may be administered at any hour o the day or night, for establishing Cholera flospitalsß for removing wherever practicable, and keeping apart those who have been in communication with the infected, for dis infecting bedding and clothing by heat or other methods, for publishing hand bills in the plainest medical directions, and the names of places where assistance may be found, for obtain ing subscription for soup and warm clothing. Such arrange ments are nearly completed at Limehouse and Rother hithe, and are in forwardness in other parishes. The Board of Admiralty have placed an hospital ship at the disposal of the Central Board. It has Leen fitted up for the reception of seamen, and will be immediately moored off Limehouse, and an officer, with boats and medical men, attached to her, so that assistance may be conveyed to vessels lying in the river. At the same time that the Central Board endeavour by these means to arrange a system which may secure the most prompt assistance in any quarter of the metropolis in which the disease may appear, they feel that all their ex ertions must be ineffectual without the most cordial co operation of all classes, and they earnestly exhort all those who have power and influence readily and zealously to second their efforts.

SUGAR.—The market this morning was rather fully attended but not much has as yet been done. Prices low and heavy. The delivery last week from the West India Docks amounted to about 2,200 casks. In the foreign, East India, and refined Sugars there is no alteration. . COFFEELY.fhis market wears rather a better appearance this morning, but still prices are heavy at the reduction of last week. Good middling are at from 91s. to 935. ; fair ordinary, from 84s. to 955. per cwt. In foreign Coffees there is scarcely any thing doing. The Dutch Trading Company have declared 99,000 bags for sale next month. RUM AND BRANDY.—The Rum market wears a more brisk appearance. The demand - for home consumption is increasing. Last week about 430 puncheons were delivered from the Nest India Docks, of which 315 were for home use. The stock in the West India Docks is now 25,500 puncheons. Proof Leewards are at Is. sd. per gallon. Brandy is very firm. INDIGO.—There is but little doing at present, owing to the near approach of th e C ompany ' s sa l es. PEAS.—The market continues brisk. Low qualities are in steady demand at the late advance in price. The consumption of the country continues steadily to increase. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SALES.—This morning the Company's periodical sales of Spices, Saltpetre, &c., took place at the East India House. The sale was very fully attended. 10f Saltpetre 533 tons were declared of different refractions. The whole sold freely at from 365. 6d. to 375. 6d. per cwt., and 41% tons not refracted ;etched 345. to 355. per cwt. These prices establish a declining market, as compared with last sale, of from 2s. to 3s. per cwt. The appearance of the cholera in London has tended much to paralyze commercial activity, and great fears are indulged that serious consequences will result, should the disease spread itself extensively. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, we are informed, has conferred the valuable appointment of General of Marines on Admiral L or d d e S AUMAREZ, w h o, i t i s un d erstoo d, will be succeeded as Vice-Admiral of England by Viscount EXMOUTH. The First Lord of the Admiralty, in com municating the appointment to Lord de SAUMAREZ, stated that his MAJESTY had bestowed it as a testimony of Royal approbation of his Lordship's eminent public services. It is evident, from the contents of the letters from the interior of the country, that every day the passing of the Reform Bill is delayed, adds not only to the dim_ ti eases of the manufacturing districts, but to the de pression of trade in general, and this should teach the Opposition the responsibility which they incur by delaying and obstructing its progress through Parliament. If it were absolutely known that by the creation of Peers or otherwis e , t h e Bill was cer t a i n of being carried, trade would revive, the distress of the working and industrious classes would be mitigated, and it would also prevent a , onsi.lerable addition to the poor rates.—Morn. Advert. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY) NEW BANKRUPTCY COURT JURISDICTION. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL obtained leave to bring again to his Lordship's attention the subject of the jurisdiction assumed by the new Bankruptcy Court. He believed he was concerned in two petitions whit .h he was anxious to have an early opportunity of bringing before this Court. As he thought they would raise all the questions now re quiring to be considered. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he would afford all the facility in his power. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said that the new Cilia had heard an elaborate argument on the extent of their juris diction, and in the result had decided that they had the power, and that they ought to proceed to hear (as they were at this moment hearing) appeal petitions from the Vice• Chancellor to the Lord Chancellor. The two questions, therefore, to be decided by this Court were, whether the new Court had a right to review the decisions of the Vice-Chancellor, and thereby to interpose that Court as a Court of Appeal between the decisions of the Vice-Chancellor and the decisions of the person who holds the Great Seal ; and next, whether that Court had the power to review the decision of the holder of the Great Seal ? It was highly important these questions should be disposed of, because the new Court had actually assumed jurisdiction in the matters that had been disposed of by Lord Lyndhurst, and which had stood by petitions of appeal for hearing before the present holder of the Great Seal. The Loan CHANCELLOR considered that such instances could scarcely occur again. Sir E. SUGDEN was by no means of that opinion. There was not a decision that the Vice. Chancellor had come to for the last two years, that might not be appealed to the new Court if the parties were so litigiously disposed, and should the newly-assumed jurisdiction be permitted to continue. The LORD CHANCELLOR only meant his observation to apply to the cases now pending. He was pleased to appoint Saturday morning for any petition to be brought before him on which the bar might think the necessary questions to lo disposed of could be raised. ARREAR OR MOTIONS. Sir E. SLIGDEN was perfectly surprised at the arrear and accumulation of motions. In his opinion, the motions could not be got through in less than three weeks, and he had to propose for the approbation of the Court, that his Lordship would proceed for the next two or three weeks to hear motions, allowing such hearing to be interrupted only by matters of a very pressing nature. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought this would be a good arrangement. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no objection whatever to agree to it. His Lordship, therefore, directed notice to be given, and that at any rate, until after next week, the cause and lunatic petitions will not be taken ; and that before the expiration of next week, suitors will have notice of when those petitions can be taken. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with arguments on pleas and detnurrers none of which possessed any points of public importance. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and a Common Jury. SMITH V. JONES. Sir JAMES SCARLETT and Mr. BALL appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. WILLIAms for the defendant. This was an action to recover damages for an assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff, who was an old and infirm man, blind of one eye and nearly deaf, was a plumber and glazier, at Kennington, where the defendant also lived. There had been for some time pig considerable ill-feeling between the plaintiff, defendant, and the father-in-law of the latter, a person named Tipping. On the 13th of May, 1830. the plaintiff was near Tipping's house, when Mrs. Tipping citne out and abused him; Tipping lifted up the window, and also abused him, at the same time shaking a stick at him ; directly afterwards the defendant came up, seized the plaintiff by the collar, pushed him violently against a fence, and struck him several blows. High words ensued, and a policeman coining up, the defendant gave the plaintiff in custody. He was taken instantly tii Union-hall, and charged by the defendant with an as sault, and he was locked up until he found bail. Bail having been procured, he was liberated. The plaintiff at tended at the Surrey Sessions, but the defendant never followed up the prosecution. It was sworn by a number of witnesses that the plaintiff never attempted to strike the defendant. Mr. WILLIAMS, i❑ his address to the Jury, said that he would prove, on the part of the defendant, wh had pleaded a justification, that the plaintiff first as saulted the defendant, and created such a noise as to ex cite the attention of the policeman to whom the defendant gave him in custody. He then expressed his willingness to let the plaintiff go if he would refrain from further violence ; but instead of accepting that offer he put him self in a menacing attitude, and created so much disturb ance that the defendant was obliged to send him away in custody. Several witnesses were called to prove the facts as stated by the Learned Counsel. The case had not terminated when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. COLERIDGE having been appointed a Serjeant-at- Law, took his seat within the bar as such, and received the congratulations of his friends. REETSON AND OTHERS V. FOSTER AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover 3,0001., the amount of twelve bills of exchange, which the plaintiffs had put into the hands of Messrs. Wood and Poole, bill-brokers, for discount; that grin being pressed for money, pledged these bill., along with a quantity more, with the defen dants, from whom they received a sum of money. The plaintiffs considered the transaction was a collusion be tween these parties, as this took place on the Saturday, the 22d of November, and on the Tuesday, Wood and Poole stopped payment, and have since been made bank. rupts. The case seemed likely to occupy the Court the greater part of the day. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) GARTH V. HOWARD AND ANOTHER. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE said that this action was brought by the plaintiff, Captain Thomas Garth, of the Hussars, to recover certain property, consisting of plate to a considerable amount, from the defendants Howard, a money lender, and Fleming a pawnbroker, which bad been by them detained from him, without his authority. Captain Garth is a gentleman well known in the world, and is the son of the late General Garth, and had latterly excited great attention. He had for some time been deeply involved in difficulties, and of such a nature that be was compelled to procure legal assistance. Unfortunately for him he was induced to resort to the defendant Howard, who had been known in the Courts of law for the last ten years, and was the son of Howard of the well-known firm of Howard and Gibbs. In /819, Howard persuaded the plaintiff he was indebted to him a considerable sum, and obtained from him a security for the amount. After the security was given, Howard immediately acted upon it, and levied an execution upon the Captain's property, and after the sale had taken place upwards of 1,300/. came into the possession of the defendant. The Captain's embarrassments continued in the latter part of 1829, and he was living near Windsor, and Howard, in order to have an unlimited command over his property, wished to get him out of the way altogether, and to effect his purpose he wrote him a letter advising him to be off to Scotland instanter, as the Sheriff's officers were after him, and he would be soon in the jaws of a prison, and that his utter ruin would inevitably be the result. The Captain acted instantly upon Howard's advice, and pro , ceeded to Newcastle, and whilst there he was persuaded to give him a power of attorney upon the whole of his plate left him by the deceased General. The moment he (Howard) obtained the power, and had full command of Captain Garth's property, he immediately proceeded to Dorchester and obtained posses%iion of the family plate con tained in his boxes, and eposited at the bankers for se curity, for whial he gave a receipt, and no sooner had be got pcssession, when be deposited it in the hands of the other defendant Fleming, who ad vanced upon it the sum of 2001., and at the tine he was so doing, he was indebted to Captain Qarth in the sum of 7001., so that there could be no pretence for any authority for having appropriated the property to his own use. The Learned Serjeant concluded by s lying he should call his wimmes, and he had no doubt but the Jury would give a verdict in his favour. The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to call his witnesses. The trial was proceoi - c.g when our reporter left. Sir WALTER SCOTT was presented to the 11ing of NAPLES on the 12th ult. Mr..Toitx REEVE, it is said, had been en gaged in the celebration of the SSd anniversary of his birth on the evening when he dived into the orchestra, ARCHES COURT.--(THIS DAY.) NEW ORDER 01' COURT. Sir J. NICHOL directed the Registrar to read an ori!er f Court which had been drawn up relative to the alter a ion of the terms. The Registrar read the order. It stated, that in con sequence of the alteration made in the periods for the terms in the Common Law Courts, the Official Principal of the Arches Court, with the concurrence of Sir C. Robin son, &c. had ordered that the terms of the Ecclesiastical Court should commence at the same periods as those of the Common Law Courts, the remainder of Court days to be fixed as at present. PREROGATIVE COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Sir JOHN lsticuor. sat as Judge to hear caus.es in this Court. LONG AND FEVER V. SYMES AND HAAINAN. This was a suit of some importance as regards the question of executorships, and what acts constitute an executor. Dr. LUSHINGTON appeared on the part of the plain tiffs.—He stated that in bringing this question before the Court, he would state that the general principle of law from the earliest period, relative to executors, had been that when parties named as such in wills, intermeddled with the affairs of the deceased, they were bound to per.- form the duties of executors. The facts of the case were these :—The deceased, Mr. John Fever, of Horsington, i❑ the county of Somerset, left a will, appointing Me‘si , . Symes and Hamnam executors, and they inserted an advertisement in the Sherborne Gazette, desiring all debts to be paid to them. After two years, however, the exe cutors came forward and declared they would not act, finding, perhaps, the estate was embarrassed, and the parties for whom be appeared, the plaintiffs in the suit, as legatees under the will, now called upon the Court to pass probate to the executors (the defendants), in order that they might distribute the property. There could be no doubt but that the inserting the advertisement and receivinq money, was intermeddling with the affairs of the deceased, and that the executors named in the will could never give up their trust. Dn. ADDAMS, on behalf of Mr. Sytnes, contended that the executors had intended to relinquish the duty inn the first instance ; that his client had acted from kindness to the widow, who was residuary legatee, and that he could not be compelled to act. Dr./STICI3OL, for Mre. Hamnam, pleaded a similar release. Sir J. NICHOL gave judgment. The law was clear, that while executors intermeddled in the affairs of a de ceased person, the parties must act. This doctrine was clearly laid down in Swinbourne and Bacon. He need not go one step further than the advertisement to be con vinced that the executors had intermeddled, and that they must therefore administer to the will. lie should con demn the defendants in costs, not to be paid out of the estate, at least till all the legatees had been satisfied. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) 'AWE V. AARON. The arguments in this part heard bankrupt petition were resumed this morning before their Honours, and had not concluded when our reporter left. We shall give the facts of the case in detail when the Court givrs judgment. FUNERAL OF THE REV. DR. BELL. This morning the remains of this excellent man were deposited in a vault in Westminster Abbey. The funeral left Cheltenham on Thursday last, and was followed a mile out of the town by nearly all the gentry in the neighbour hood, and the shops were partially shut. The funeral procession consisted of ten mourning coaches and four, in which was Lord Kenyon, one of the executors, and many other distinguished individuals, and twenty-six carriages belonging to the nobility and gentry. Deputations from the Naval and National Schools, to which the late Doctor had been such a munificent benefactor, also attended. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. T WEL YE 0' CL 0 Cif. The north-easterly winds prevent us again from arrivals this morning. This day we have two topics for conversa tion in the city; the first is a commercial failure to some extent, that of B. A.Goldsmith,'a Hebrew house. Six years since the same firm laboured under the above misfortune. The second topic relates to the cholera moibus, which is now officially confirmed to have taken place in the out skirts of the city, and in consequence of which a discus lion took place in the House of Commons last night. Lori Althorp intends to apply for leave to bring in a Bill to give the Privy Council increased power to prevent the dreadful malady from spreading, and no doubt every precau tion will be taken both by Ministers and the city authorities to give immediate and prompt assistance to such parts of the metropolis where this horrid evil takes root. We also find that the Lord Mayor has, in a handsome manner, placed at the disposal of the City of Llndon Board of Health, his mansion in Abchurch-lane, to prepare for the imme diate reception of fifty patients; should it be required, it is also recommended that the children of the schoolhouses and ward-schools should remain at their respective houses, the Fchool-houses being airy, and well adapted for hospitals in case of need. Persons who have come from Limehouse this morning do not report any new cases. Great fear is entertained in the city for the stoppage of commerce, par ticularly when it is known in France and other parts of the continent. The accounts from Brussels, state that the King of Belgium gives every day a private audience to General Desprez, Chief of the Etat-Major. The preparations for the service of the Artillery are renewed with great activity, and all the Civic Guards are going to do garrison duty, and the troops of the line are to proceed to the frontiers. After the late diplomatic Conference, held at Paris, the Austrian Ambassador sent off a courier to his Govern ment, which was soon followed by a courier from the French Government. These Conferences are very fre quent, and kept very secret. THE FUNDS. Yesterday and this morning several sales of Consols were made, in consequence, it is supposed, of a large commercial failure, a Hebrew house of second note. Consols, which left off yesterday at 821 for account, opened at the same price, soon after went down to 82 for money, and 82- t i for account ; at present they are 82k. We have no foreign political news, although the esta fette has arrived ; but the Belgians and Dutch are con tinuing to make the most active preparations for war, though it is nut supposed the Dutch will be the aggressors. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We now find that the failure which took place this morning, is not to the extent that was at first reported, the house having not stopped for more than 30,0001. and this was owing to a lota they sustained by a failure at Bremen, which owed the house of Goldsmith a considerable sum. Consols have rather improved since the early part of the morning, when they were sei for the account, and at pre sent may be quoted at 82i Numerous enquiries are ;till made in the city in regard to the progre..s of the, cholera, but up to the present hour we have no information on the subject that can be depended on ; had any further serious events taken plaice it would have been known in the city ere this, the distance being so short. The ospatches which the Russian messenger brought over in an open boat have not as yet transpired. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. We have a report of four new cases of cholera in the Borough, but it is not to be depended upon at present. THREE O' CLOCK . Cansols, 821 It was rumoured yesterday in the military cir cles, that the Court-martial upon Captain WARRINGTON have sentenced him to be cashiered, but have recom mended him to mercy. As the sentence cannot i e regu larly known till it has received the Knqc's approbation. we •hall abstain from any remarks till we see the docu ment, with its reasons, in an official form.— Times. CHOLERA AND THE HOUSE OF COMMONF. —Now that the Asiatic pestilence has visited London, and it is thought Westminster, there is no atmosphere more susceptible of its malignant influence than that of the House of Commons, particularly the strangers' gallery. ROBERT LB DIARLE.—This chef d'(Tuvre of INlEvEaustt is announced for performance at Drury lane Theatre on Tuesday next, which has set all the mu sical world on the qui vice.
