TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. St. James's•place, Dec. 5, 1832. GENTLEMEN, I BEG to inform you that the Poll is fixed to -11 - take place at CAMBRIDGE, on WEDNESDAY, the 12th inst. I have not disguised my political sentiments, but the grounds upon which my friends have advocated my claims to your support are not of a political nature, and I consider it of so much importance to establish the principle that attachment to scientific pursuits should not constitute a disqualification for political distinction, that I am ready to contend to the utmost for that principle, although I most sincerely wish it had been intrusted to one of greater ability and superior pretensions. Should I succeed in attaining the high honour of repre- Betting you in Parliament, I shall use my utmost endeavout s to support the interests of the Established Church, and to Promote the welfare of the University. I again most respectfully solicit the honour of your vote and support, • And remain, Gentlemen, with great respect, Your most obedient and faithful Servant, J. W. LUBBOCK. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. THE LONDON COMMITTEE, for con ducting the ELECTION of J. NV. LUBBOCK, EN., beg to inform the Members of the Senate, that the I ' o ll will commence on WEDNESDAY, the 12th instant, at Nine o'clock in the morning, and finally close on Fat])Ay, the 14th inst., at One o'clock. Every arrangement has been made for the conveyance of Mr. Lubbock's friends, Iv} lo are requested to send early intimation of the day whe n it will suit them to go to Cambridge, to the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, where the Committee SIT DAILY. J. G. SHAW LEFEVRE, Esq., in the Chair. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The parcel, containing Tuesday's Suns, has been regularly for warded to Mr. Mansell's address, Birmingham, from this Office, and must have been missent by the General Post-office to some other place. ebr „‘,z-) *int. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 6, 1832. The activity of our Morning Contemporaries l eaves little room for information from Antwerp, th rough official channels. It will be seen by the extracts we have made from them, that the Prench batteries opened their fire on Tuesday. On th e average, the couriers who arrive with l etters from the correspondents of the news- Papers, take several hours less for the Journey than the Government messengers, or those who are employed by the Embassies. Lord PALMERSTON and Prince TALLEYRAND are indebted for the earliest information to the column s of the newspapers, and, with the excep tion of telegraphic communications, even the French Government may almost expect to re ceive news from Antwerp as soon through Eng land as direct from Antwerp to Paris, so supe rior are the arrangements of British enter prize to the machinery of the present esta fette service. By a letter from Paris this morning we learn that the first official ac count of the proceedings before Antwerp did not arrive there before Monday evening. A copy of it has reached us, but it has very little interest now for the English reader. Although strictly official in its character, it seems to have been in tended chiefly for the gratification of the Court, where it must have proved highly acceptable to the Royal Family, who see, in the conduct of the Duke of ORLEANS, one of the surest gua rantees for the permanency of the reigning dynasty. This young Prince has already rendered himself popular among the National Guard by the way in which he has mixed with his fello zeus, and he is now rising rapidly in favour with the army. He appears to study the great Master whose military reputation is still so brilliant, and to aim at renown by winning the affections of his soldiers. Whether France will gain or lose eventually by this intimate union between the Heir Apparent and the army is not for us to de cide ; but we do not hesitate to declare, that with troops such as Louis PHILIP can send forth, and with their future Sovereign at their head, the reigning Monarch has nothing to fear from the Continental Powers. To be inde pendent of foreign influence he has only to avail himself of the support of his army, commanded by his son ; but, to be quiet and happy, he must take care that the army does not trample upon the laws, and with the military renown of the reign of NAPOLEON, restore the despotism by which, in the end, that extraordinary being fell. We subjoin a copy of the report received in Paris on Monday last to which we have alluded : ANTWERP, SUNDAY.-The opening of the trenches was accomplished under the happiest auspices. The works were begun at 8 o'clock at night, and owing to the dark ness of the night, and the dead silence preserved, were continued till day-break, unnoticed by the garrison, though within so short a distance of the citadel, that the voices of the Dutch soldiers were distinctly heard by the French troops. The Duke d'Orleans commanded in per son, and passed the whole night on the line of entrench ment, exposed to a heavy rain, giving his orders with the coolness and perspicuity of an old soldier, and cheering on the men in their enterprise, with the ardour and energy fitting a youth high in blood and courage. The fire from the Dutch batteries did not begi❑ till noon, and was very slack during the whole of that day and the night follow ing, so that the preparatory works have been accomplished with little interruption and inconsiderable loss. There is a report current in the diplomatic circles that the Russian Cabinet has remonstrated with the French Government against the en couragement afforded to some distinguished Polish refugees, who are in active correspondence with those patriots who have been able to escape from the fangs of the Russian vulture, without altogether abandoning their native country. It seems, that for some time past arrangements have been making for another attempt to throw off the Russian yoke, and it is by no means improbable that the French Government, foreseeing what was to arise in Belgium, was willing to strengthen itself in other quarters. We have no means of ascertain ' inc , whether the report to which we have alluded is well founded or not; but we know that -if France be driven into a war, she can only make it popular by gathering to her cause the friends of liberty in every country. The same may be said of our own Government. If, instead of looking on coldly, whilst the Northern Despot was carrying forward the work of murder and spoliation in Poland, our Cabinet had demanded the freedom of that country, Lord PALMERSTON would not have found the war with Holland so unpopular. The people of Great Britain are not willing to accept his reasons for a Dutch war, whilst he is able to offer none for having refused to maintain our national honour by vin dicating the rights of Poland. We perceive, by the French Journals, that the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of the address were terminated on Monday evening by a majority in favour of Mi nisters of 114. The number against them were 119 ; with them 233. As the question of the continuance in office, or the resignation, of the French Cabinet, depended on this discussion, its triumph must be considered, for the present, as a decisive one. But the Opposition, too, have had their victory. On Mr. BIGNON proposing an ener getic amendment to the 18th paragraph respecting Poland, in place of the tame allusion to it that previously existed in the address, the Minister for Foreign Affairs deprecated the amendment, on the plea that as Government was reduced to the necessity of employing only expostulations, and exerting an influence purely moral, it ought to place itself in the most favourable position pos sible with regard to the Government of St. Petersburgh. Despite, however, this objection on the part of Ministers, the amendment was carried against them by an overwhelming majority. The Liberal Journals are much an noyed by the result of the discussion, which they look on as almost the death-blow to a free Constitution. The funds, as was to be ex pected, have risen in consequence. The KING'S reply to the address contains little or nothing worthy of notice, with the exception, perhaps, of one passage, wherein he observes, " We shall soon see our soldiers, our children, return with honour to their country, and bring back from the banks of the Scheldt a new pledge of the preservation of peace." The following extracts from the Belgian Papers add nothing to our previous knowledge of the state of affairs before Antwerp. It will be seen that Prussia still preserves the guarded attitude, but pacific intentions, which prudence and self interest dictate:— (From the Memorial Belge.) BRUSSELS, DEC. 2.—" Information coming from good authority enables us to give our readers satisfactory assu rances respecting the policy of Prussia. Faithful to its Preceding engagements, it desires the solution of the Bel. gian question, according to the terms of th e t reaty o f t h e 15th of November ; it desires it even by the employment of coercive measures, provided that it can refrain from taking part in them, and leave them to England and France. Meantime it is watchful, as prudence prescribes, to preserve the peace of Europe from being disturbed in consequence of these movements. The relations lately established between the Prussian and Belgian Govern. ments, daily become more intimate. Far from the Prus sian Government having shown any coolness to our Envoy at Betlin, since it has been resolved to employ coercive measures against Holland, General Merex, with his Se cretaries of Legation, was lately invited to a grand ball, at the residence of Baron Van Kamptz, Minister of Justice, at which the Members of the Dutch Legation were also present. All the Princes of the Royal Family, who were at the ball, behaved pith the most flattering attention to our Legation. The person who sends us these particulars adds, that at Berlin those persons who are ve►sed in political affairs are generally of opinion that nothing is less probable than a rupture, at this moment, between Prussia, England, and France. It would be otherwise if the national indepen dence were threatened by foreign invasion. Meantime no steps have taken for assembling the landwehr. BRUSSELS, DEC. 3.—The King arrived from Lierre at half-past twelve. His Majesty had a conference at that place with Marshal Gerard, who went to the head quarters of the Belgian army to meet him. M. Rodney Mundy, a Captain in the English Royal Navy, arrived here yesterday, with despatches for the English Ambassador. A Belgian Cabinet messenger was sent yesterday with despatches for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to London. The fourth battalion of the 3d Belgian Regiment of the Line arrived here yesterilay from Cilloo, having been re lieved by French troops. Two battalions of the Ist Regiment of the Line left Brussels for the environs of Louvain. The reserve division under General Schramm, entered B-lgium the day before yesterday, in the morning. BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—The Dukes of Orleans and Ne mours came yesterday to dine with the King and Queen at the Palace, and returned to their head-quarters at eight o'clock in the evening. Numerous couriers were despatched yesterday to Paris, London, end the French and Belgian head-quarters. 111. de Muelenaere is gone to Bruges. The ground round the citadel of Antwerp begins to he thoroughly soaked. Three batteries of artillery w ere almost entirely buried in the mud. The whole of yester day was employed in getting them out, which was not ffected without great difficulty. A great part of General Sebastiani's division has passed the Scheldt at Burght. The civic guards that were can toned in that Village and the environs, have retired to Termonde. LIEGE, DEC. 3.—The garrison of the fort Chartreuse has been reinforced. The Il th Belgian Regiment is ex pected at Tongres. It is reported in that town and the neighbourhood, that a corps of observation is going to be formed. GHENT, DEC. 3.-Besides three Cabinet messengers that passed through here on Saturday night, two others, both from Antwerp, on their way to London, have passed • hrough to night, the latter, preceded by an avant courier, seemed to be in great haste. The news of the summons to General Chasse was re ceived at the Hague on December 1. Ministerial instructions have been issued to the pro vinces and communes informing them that the orders given for li-vying the Landsturm are not to be understood as if the men were to be immediately called out to serve as soldiers, but merely as a preparatory measure, that the men may be ready, in case the defence of the country should require it. ST. numLas, DEC. I.—The French occupied Fort St. Marie yesterday evening, and placed a battery in it. There is no indication at present that the French will attack the forts situated on this side of the Scheldt, which are protected by vast inundations, and must naturally share the fate of the citadel.—Brussels Papers, Dec. 5. We have received intelligence from Switzer land, which would seem to imply that the autho rities there contemplate the possibility of a gene ral war. The Federal Directory had instructed six military officers to station themselves respec- tively at Bellinzone, Coire, St. Gall, Liestal, Guerdon, and St. Maurice, to watch the fron- tiers, make frequent reports, and in case of immi nent danger, to assemble certain bodies of troops specially named. It was proposed to assemble the Diet at Zurich on the 6th January. A mob of some hundreds of persons had attacked and burnt a manufactory, in which weaving machines were employed, at Uster, on the 22d November, when large numbers were assembled to celebrate the overthrow of the old constitution of Zurich two years back. Ulti mately, however, the rioters were dispersed, and a hundred of them committed to prison. We had not time on Tuesday to call the at• tention of our readers to a very singular trial which took place in the course of the morning in the Court of King's Bench. All the parties resided at Swansea, in Wales, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 6s. Bd., at an expense of at least 1501. or 2001. The bare statement of the case is so gross a libel upon the administration ofjustice in this country that we should fear to publish it, were it not that the supineness of the legal profession, in so long permitting the continuance of such a state of things, would seem to argue that it is con sidered as no disgrace. Lord BROUGHAM'S County Court Bill, were it in full operation, would have prevented the occurrence of such a circumstance as that to which we allude, and in spite of the clamours of interested attorneys, we trust his Lordship will persevere in this, one of the most beneficial of the many improvements he has given us hopes of enjoying. That the bringing of " justice home to every man's door" is not a mere speculative fancy, desirable but im practicable, is abundantly demonstrated by the experience of France. That the expense of Local Courts,with a jurisdiction to prevent trifling causes being sent to a distance, isgreat, is no answer to the proofs we have for their necessity. Unless justice be made speedily and easily attainable by the whole population, Government fails to at tain its main, we might almost say, its only, ob ject ; for what benefit has a man derived from the payment of taxes, and the surrender of a portion of his natural liberty, if the law does not protect his person and property ? That being the object men have in view by contri buting any thing to the State, to save money in the actual administration of the laws is but an illustration of the wisdom of the man who should spare tar after building the ship. We recollect that that exceedingly profound statesman, Sir JAMES SCARLETT took upon himself, some sessions back, to compare the expense of administering justice in France and England ; and, finding that more was paid in the former country than in t i tle latter, very wisely jumped to the conclusion that the English sys tem was the best. Doubtless it would be con venient to Sir JAMES SCARLETT, and one or two others, to compel all causes to come up to London for trial, or wait till they could go the circuit of the country to be engaged in them ; but it happens that the public have a convenience to be consulted also, and we fancy that if Sir JAMES had taken into consideration the ex- pense parties are put to in England, in bringing actions to trial, he would have found that, even in a pecuniary point of view, the French public was in a better situation than ourselves. In how many cases justice is not sought by ag grieved parties in England, because even success would entail a loss, none who have not consulted persons i❑ trade can imagine ; and although we are aware that, for the same reason, it is not sometimes sought in France, yet we hesitate not to affirm, that in the latter country instances are co►nparatively rare. The whole of the truly liberal part of the Bar, we believe, and a large portion or the more respectable London attorneys are in favour of a better system in this respect, and although we know that some interests are opposed to it, we trust that the LORD CHAN CELLOR will feel himself strong enough in public support and favour to " do justice and fear not." England tvat obliged to support upwards of twat/ thou. sand men, in ord, r to govern that unfortunate county) like a conquered one. That was a most shameful system, and must be abolished in a Reformed Parliament. It wa , upon these principles that lie tin ew himself upon the electors of Middlesex, and if they thought he had done his duty, then it only remained for them to do theirs. He had never been either Whig or Tory, and hoped those names would be now abolished, and that there would be only two parties in the State, and that the one for the people would be the largest. The Hon. Gentleman at down amidst applause. Sir J. S. LILLIE then ro.e, and was left speaking. ELECTION for MIDDLESEX—(THIS DAY. A meeting of the electors of Middlesex was held this day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, for the purpose of giving the candidates for the representation of that county the opportunity of declaring their sentiments. Shortly after one o'clock, ROBERT LITTLE, Esq., took the Chair. The CHAIRMAN regretted that so humble an in. dividual as himself had been called to fill so important an office, hut though humble, he would yield to no one in a desire to forward the cause in which they were all engaged.—(Hear, hear.) flaying read the re quisition, which was agreeable to a resolution passed at the meeting at the Riding School, Finsbury square, on the 31st Oct., inviting the several candidates to attend such meetings as might be appointed to be held, be observed,that the electors were now required to call upon those candidates who had already been in Parliament, to state what they had already clone for the country, and what they intended to do. Some Members, when they were asked what they had done, might answer, " Oh ! I have been in Parlia ment thirty or forty years ; I have assisted in tax. ing the people to the tune of 800,000,000/., and I have put in my own pocket as much as I could."—(Laughter.) As to Mr. Hume, who had been as a giant in the cause of the people, he (the Chairman) would merely observe that he should like to find another mail similar to him,—( Cheers.) He (the Chairman) was brought up a farmer, and he should have been laughed at if he had yoked two horses to a team to pull different ways. He would rather be like the Yorkshireman, who I said to his horses, " Good luck to you, pull one way, and we shall soon get along."—(Laughter, and consider able cheering.) They had now to inquire for two good men who would pull one way. The county had one eood Member already in the person of Mr. flume, who, it was to be hoped, would he returned—(Cheers)—and another one was present—a Gallant Officer from the siver kingdom, who had promised to yoke himself by the side of Mr. Hume--he alluded to Sir John Scott Lillie. In his opi nion those two men were the hest in the field, and he should vote for them.—(Cheers.) The Worthy Chairman then read a letter from Mr. Byng, who apologises] for his absence, and also one from the Chairman of Lord Henley's Committee; the latter stated that Lord Henley had re ceived the letter, inviting him to attend, but the Com mittee did not feel themselves at liberty to reccommend his Lordship to attend, because the names affixed to the re quisition were those of persons who had already taken a decided part in opposing his Lordship.—(Hisses.) As to Mr. Hume and Sir John Scott Lillie, they were both pre sent.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME on being called for, presented himself, amidst loud cheers. He said, be attended the meeting in obedience to a requisition, signed by a great number of the electors of Middlesex. It had been his misfortune to have but little intercourse with the electors of Middlesex, because when he was called upon, in 1830, to become a candidate, he had no opportunity of personally canvassing them, and he had acted upon the principle that it was nut only for the good of the electors, but also for the elected, that no votes should be personally solicited. On the present occasion, also, he bad felt it his duty not personally to canvass any one for a vote, but he had left it to the electors to consider the past, and what they had a right to expect for the future, and he had no doubt they would do their duty honestly by re turning the most fit men to represent them. It had been, however, his determination to pay his respects to the electors long before he heard of any opposi tion in the county, by meeting them in different places, and asking if in any part of his conduct he had differed with their opinions and wishes, in order, that if be could not altogether satisfy any one with whom he might possibly have happened to differ, he could at all events have as opportunity of stating the reasons and the motives by which he was actu ited—(Cheers)—for he considered, that next to the good principles of a candidate, accounta bility to the electors was most essential, and that it was a right which the constituents bad, to question a candidate, and to hear his opinion on any sub ject which they might think required explanation. He had not called together his immediate friends, but all classes—enemies, he hoped, he had none.—(Cheers and cries of " No, no.'') He held it to be the best and fairest mode of ascertaining the opinions of his consti tuents, and even of the non-represented,--(Cheers)—their interest being equally dear and sacred as those who had been fortunate enough to obtain that valuable privilege. He was happy to say that much of the misrepresentation which had gone abroad, accusing him of insincerity, was likely to have the effect with the electors which it de served, every one of the prejudices and charges that had been raised by them, having been removed.—(Cheers.) He courted public investigation into his conduct, consi• dering that if a man's public conduct would not bear investigation, be was unworthy of being a representa tive of a county like Aliddlesex.—(Cheers.) He came there that day ready to explain to every individual, by which he meant elector or non-elector, any part of his public conduct, or his opinion upon any subject likely to engtge the attention of Parliament.—(Cheers.) He had at the unanimous request of 1,800 electors, in 1830, stood forward as a representative of Middlesex ; to that honour he had been raised, not for bis own, but, he trusted he might say, the public good. He had been so elected in consequence of his public conduct, from the line of which he had never swerved. He had always supported every question in which civil and religious liberty was advocated—(Cheers)—and every measure cal culated to extend the rights and privileges of Englishmen, and had always been a sincere advocate for the re duction of all the unnecessary expenses of the State. He had always been anxious to remove all monopolies in commerce, and do everything that lay in his power to raise the lower classes from that state of indigence and want in which so many were plunged.—(Continued cheers., He had opposed at home and abroad all means of con ruption, and he defied any man to say that he had lat terly, notwithstanding the reports circulated against him, at all departed from that course.—(Cries of " No, you have not.") The Reform Bill would be pro ductive of much good, if the people did their duty, though it had not gone so far as was necessary. To make it perfect, and to protect the elector from party influence, the vote must be by ballot. In conse quence of the course he had thought it right to pur sue, his conduct had been decried as revolutionary and as cal ulated to pull down and destroy the institutions of the country. The feeling in favour of Reform, as all must be well aware, was extremely strong throuehout the country—it was that feeling which hail brought Brougham and Morpeth into Parliament for Yorkshire, and Ebrington and Russell for Devonsbire.—(Cheers.) He trusted the time had now arrived when the people were not to he in timidated with the cry of the dangers of the Church ; the people were no longer to be taken up with words ; they thought for themselves, and that ienorance which surrounded them some years ago, and under which their rights had been invaded, was fast disappearing. He hoped, on the day of election, to find many friends who had stood aloof from him lately, come forward in his cause, and rejoice in his success ; for he could assure all, that the principles he had started with, would always guide him in his future conduct in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He would make the Bill as efficient as it was possible. it was an honour to the electors of Westminster that they were the first and only persons who peti tioned the House of Commons against the clause which rendered the payment of taxes necessary, in order to qualify for voting, and he was sorry that on that question he was one of only twenty-one who supported it. Ha trusted that it would soon be removed, and would do all in his power to help. Every man had personal rights to support, and he ought not to be deprived of them because he could not at a moment command a sum of 101. or 121. He would still continue to do, as he had formerly done all in .his power to abolish all taxes upon knowledge, so that the people might know what measures were going on, that they might support only those which deserved it, and not, as heretofore, regret their support of particular measures when it was too late. He was not one of those who were afraid of an enlightened peopie, for he had seen the sad ravages committed by an unenlightened one. He would do every thing in his power to lessen the sanguinary character of our criminal code, and to render justico cheap, so that a poor man might be able to defend his rights as well as a rich one. The law bad hitherto been a monopoly for the rich and, like every other monopoly, it must be abolished• He would also do his best to relieve the millions from the great weight of taxation which pressed so heavily on them. It might be easily done by reducing the expenditurr, sad yet keep the public faith in violate. One more measure he must touch upon ; be meant the Church Establishment in Irelaad.—(Cheers.) Wheo he saw that fine country in civil war, on account of the Tithes, he said he should not believe that it was to uphold religion that it was done. COURT CIRCULAR. The Right Hon.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING v. PETTIT. This was an indictment against the defendant for a nuisance. The alleged nuisance was erecting a wooden house upon wheels, similar to some of the caravans used in exhibiting wild beasts, converting it into a shop, and placing it near the highway. It was what might be called a " moveable house." Mr. THESSIGER stated the case for the prosecution. The indictment was preferred at the instance of the inhabitants of St. Pancras parish. By a statute of George 11. it was enacted that between Edgeware-road and Islington no building should be erected within a certain distance of the road side; but the de. fendant had constructed a sort of building of wood, and placed it upon wheels, in the front garden of a Mr. Sputt, at the corner of Tottenham-court-road, only a few feet from the road side, and considerably in front of the range of buildings. This building had been opened as a shop first for the sale of fruit and oysters, and subsequently of tobacco, and the defendant had set the parish at defiance, alleging that they had no authority over him, as it was a moveable building, and in the nature of a carriage, and that, therefore, it was not within the provisions of the Act. After several witnesses had been called, Mr. THESSIGER said that no Counsel appeared for the defendant, which he was much surprised at, as there were se. veral such buildings in the parish, some of them of a more an. cient standing than the present, and he had thought that this case would have decided the question whether they fell within the Act of Parliament or not. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in addressing the Jury, said that as no one appeared to defend the indictment they were bound to find the defendant guilty ; he observed, however, that the question would be really one of some importance if it had been fairly brought before the Court. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) GIBSON v. HEATH. Mr. Knight applied in this case on Tuesday, for an in., junction to restrain Messrs. Hough and Greenfield, merchants of the city, from delivering up certain bills of exchange to the defendants, the Heaths, which had been drawn in America. Mr. Twiss on that occasion stated, that an affidavit had beets filed, which he had not had an opportunity of reading, and requested that the matter might stand over to give him time to read it. This Mr. Knight had no objection to, provided the bills were brought into Court and placed in the hands of the Registrar. A Mr. Eager, the clerk of Mr. Biggs, the solicitor. of Bedford.row, stated that the bills were locked up in the strong box of Mr. Biggs, who was at Reading ; that he would write to him, and get him to produce them on Thursday (this day). Mr. KNIGHT, at the sitting of the Court this morning, again mentioned the case. Mr. Eager stated that he had written to Mr. Biggs, but had not, as yet, received any answer. The Court then ordered the case to stand to 11 o'clock, at. which hour it had been stated the Reading coach would arrive in town. Mr. Biggs not having then arrived, nor the bills produced, Mr. KNIGHT said he must press on the motion. Mr. RUSSELL said his clients were willing to undertake not to part with the bills until the motion had been heard. Mr. KNIGHT observed, that unless the bills were deposited with the Registrar he should be compelled to bring on the motion. Mr Biggs had been personally communicated with, and the case had begun to wear, as fir all it respected some parties, a most serious aspect. Mr. RUSSELL considered it a great breach of good faith to press on the motion. He could not understand what his Learned Friend wanted to obtain by pressing for the de posit of the bills with the Registrar. He was sure his Learned Friend (Mr. Twiss) had never, on behalf of his client, un. dertaken to deposit the bills with the Registrar. Mr. KNIGHT was confident he had, in which assertion the Learned Gentleman was borne out by reference to the Registrar's book. Mr. RUSSELL observed that no' less than ten affidavits had been filed yesterday, of which his clients had not been able to obtain copies. Mr. KNIGHT—If the bills are not here I must go on with the motion. Mr. Biggs has been personally served with the order of the Court, and is acting most contumaciously in being absent. Mr. Eager, in the Court of Bankruptcy, will have to abide the consequences of the improper conduct of Mr. Biggs• Mr. RUSSELL—We will undertake not to part will: the bills. Mr. KNIGHT—Whose undertaking will you give us ? We know the value of Mr. Eager's already. I don't consider your undertaking worth a bad farthing, and unless the bills arc produced, I must and will make the motion. Mr. RUSSELL (with great warmth)—Then you may take the order upon the affidavit of service. It certainly is a great breach of faith now to press on the motion. Mr. KNIGHT—I think it's a great breach of good faith on your part. The Court has been exceedingly ill-treated, and the course that has been pursued appears to me to border a little upon a conspiracy, Mr. RUSSELL—Ten affidavits were filed last night. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—That cannot b?, because in the letter which Mr. Eager wrote to Mr. Biggs, he locutions the filing of 10 affidavits. Mr. RUSSELL—I cannot do more than give Mr. Bigg'. , un dertaking not to part with the bills. Mr. KNIGHT—Then I must press on the motion. Mr. RUSSELL—WeII, then, you must take the order on t he affidavit of service. Mr. KNIGHT—So I shall, if you don't choose to oppwie the motion. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Take your order, Mr. Knight. Mr. KNIGHT—It now becomes my duty, Sir, to move ex parte to be allowed to serve a notice of motion personally upon Mr. Biggs and his clerk, Mr. Eager, respecting these bills ; and I do so upon the affidavit of a Mr. Waller, one of the clerks of the plaintiff's solicitor, who states that on his serving the order upon Mr. Biggs, at Reading, that person had stated that he knew nothing of the bills ; that he had not locked them up In his strong box ; that he presumed his clerks were doing what they considered right ; that he had never had the custody of the bills, except for a few minutes, on Friday last ; that the statement of his clerk (Mr. Eager) was false ; that he was determined not to be made responsible; and that he would not leave his house to attend the older of the Court, as he could not throw any light upon the matter. The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired what the notice of motion would be for ? Mr. KNIGHT could not at that moment say ; but it would, probably be, for the committal of both parties. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Give notice, and I will take it on Monday morning. His HONOUR rose shortly after l 2 o'clock, there being nothing to proceed with, in consequence of the absence of Counsel from town, and adjourned the Court to Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) SITTINGS. There was great difficulty in getting any thing to go on with this morning. His Lordship had to leave the Court once or twice, to afford suitors an opportunity of procuring the pre sence of their Counsel. The greater proportion of the learned leaders at the Bar were out of town. It was stated as not likely that Sir Edward Sugden would be back before this day week, and that Mr. Pepys (who has gone to Yorkshire) would not return till Friday week. The Lord Chancellor was sure the Bar must be sensible that he bad every desire to accommodate gentlemen who were necessarily absent on public business in e very pos sible way in his power, but still he was exceedingly anxious that the juniors should endeavour to go on with some of the appeals. The juniors were usually well informed in the facts oftheir cases, and he could not see why they, on each side, should not be prepared to go on. The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, had been applied to specially on account of the elections, and had refused to make any alte ration in his paper, even with respect to special Jury cases, ob serving, that if certain gentlemen were obliged to be absent, others, quite competent to go on with the business, would still be in attendance. So it might be said here—why, because a few of the gentlemen of the Bar were absent, should the Court here be shut up ? This of course could only apply to cases where briefs had not been delivered, because it would be too hard on suitors, whose briefs had been dc_ livered, that they should be put to the expense of delivering other briefs, and also lose their counsel in conse. quence of the absence of gentlemen over whom they had no control. It was necessary, at all events, that the solicitors in the cases in the paper should be in attendance either themselves or by their clerks, to be privy to any arrangement to be made respecting their cases ; and, whenever it was possible, the ju. nior barristers must be prepared to proceed. COLEMAN u. SMITHERS. This appeal was ordered to stand over till the first appeal day after the next Term, in consequence of the absence of Counsel, and also because one of the country solicitors (Mr. Lloyd), who took a great interest in the case, and who had been here from day to day for some time past, in expectation of its being heard, had to leave town last night, in consequence of having heard of the unfortunate death of his wife. ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. SMITHIES. This was an information in which the juniors, Mr. Ander don on the one side, and Mr. Spence and another gentleman on the other, were called upon to go on.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Charleston Papers, to the 6th of November, have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE. Extract of a letter from the Consul of the United States to the Secretary of State, dated Tampico, Sept. 29 : I have the honour to inform you that an express arrived in town last evening, with the information that a battle had been fought at a place called Galtener, between General Montezuma, with an army of 5,000 men, and General Bustamenta, the Vice.P resident, with 3,500 men, in which the former had been entirely cut up ; 1,500 men were killed on the part of Monte. zuma, and the remainder of the army fled." Accounts from Pernambuco, of the 15th of September, state that the affairs of Brazil remained in a very unsettled state. At Pernambuco murders and assassinations occurred daily, and the inhabitants were threatened by hostile approaches of the In dians. THE FUNDS. It appears by expresses received this morning, that the French opened their batteries, with S 7 pieces of cannon, on the citadel, on the morning of Tuesday last, which has been answered by General Chasse. When the express left, the cannon continued roaring. Chasse appears to be a man of determined character, and we apprehend, when pushed to ex tremities, he will take his revenge on the old city of Antwerp. This will be the signal for the French to make the attack on the citadel from all sides. By the estafette from Paris we learn that the French Funds improved If per cent., owing to the address to the King being carried by a large majority of 114. It is now the general opinion that the French Government is more firm than it has been for some years past; and in conse quence of which the Funds this morning have improved. Consols, which left off yesterday at 8311 for the Account, opened at 831 At present they are 83i, sellers. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We have seen letters from Antwerp and Brussels of the evening of the 4th inst., in which they describe the bombard ment of the citadel with 100 pieces of cannon as tremendous; but up to the present hour no later accounts than those al ready published have been received, although expected this evening. The Dutch steamer has not as yet arrived ; we do not expect that it will bring anything later from the theatre of war. The roaring of the cannon at Antwerp, is distinctly heard at Brussels. Consols have been the whole of the morning at 83 jj % for the Account ; nothing doing in Money. Consols are shut. There is a stagnation in the Foreign Market, consequently nothing worth noticing. THREE O'CLOCK Consols 83i i. It is now confidently stated that the Duke Of RICHMOND and Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE have been appointed to replace Lord ANGLESEA and Mr. STANLEY.
