We are happy to understand by our Chancery report that the rumours circulated respecting the LORD CHANCELLOR'S health have been as false as they were malicious. His Lordship was never in better health. The French Papers of Saturday have been re ceived by express. Their contents are more im portant than usual. The affairs of the Continent are not so pacific as they have lately appeared to be. Though Austria and Prussia have both rati fied, their reservation on certain points is looked at with suspicion. The recent conduct of Hol land, too, adds to the apprehension naturally entertained that the ratifications are only made as blind for ulterior purposes. The unaccountable delay of Russia, supposing the other Powers to be sincere, tends still more to embarrass the friends of " order" in their wish to believe that peace will be preserved. In the present uncertainty it is really very difficult to see clearly what course Holland will adopt—or what Russia means by her insulting delay. One re- Port says that the ratification is in London—an other that it is positively on the road. A third report is, that the French Government, resolved not t o be caught napping, in case of surprise, has ordered the Colonel of every Regiment in France to be prepared to repair to his post at a moment's notice, and that the Regiments are to hold themselves in readiness for active service. This May either be true or not; but the probability is in favour of a vigilant preparation. The present internal condition of France is likely to create much uneasiness at Paris—the more so as the " three powers" are constantly on the watch to take advantage of circumstances. The affairs of Ancon a and Belgium are again said to be in an umatisfactory state ; while the health of young NAPOLEON is also reported to be precarious— what truth any or all of these reports may have, remains to be seen. The cholera, we are happy to learn, is greatly abating in Paris. On Thursday, the number of death s was 245, on Friday 194, and on Satur dap 182. The health of M. PERIER was improving, but till his perfect recovery some other Minister is to act for him.

The disgraceful and most unjustifiable arre s t of M. THORN by the Dutch still occupies the attention of the Brussels Government. It appears that a similar attempt had been made to carry off M. DE BROUCKERE, but failed. This petty spirit and the refusal of the Dutch Go vernment to liberate M. THORN do not increase our faith in the sincerity of the Prussian and Austrian ratifications. The Belgians are in dignant, and the French are on the alert. 'he news in the Dutch and German Papers, received this forenoon, is of a more warlike character than usual. The Dutch troops are on the mov e , an d t h e Rus sian armyis concentrating its several divi sions. Many of the regiments which were on their way into the interior of Russia are on their return to Poland. Other demonstrations are talked of, which, if correct, do not redound to the honour of NICHOLAS for sincerity certainly not for moderation : THE IlAouE. APRIL 26.—There is a general report in the army of an approaching change in the position of the troops. It is said that Lieut.-General Van Gem, commander of the first division, will remove his head-quar ters to Tilburg, and the Duke of Saxe Weimar to Boxtel. The 4th of May next is to he observed with great so lemnity at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, in honour of the brave Van Speyk, whose mortal remains are to be removed on that day to the 'plendid monument in the New Church at Amsterdam, erected by the citizens in his honour. Their Majesties, accompanied by Prince Aldabert of Prussia, set out yesterday afternoon for Amsterdam, the inhabitants of which place were prepared to receive them with every demonstration of loyal affection. Price Frede rick set out for Berlin yesterday. The cholera having appeared at Nantes and Tours, on the Loire, that river, and all places situated on it, are to be considered as infected ; and the coast between the Seine and the Loire as suspected. Ships from those ports to per form fifteen or seven days' quarantine respectively. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 20.—The King, who arrived here Yet,erday evening, had a Levee this morning at the Palace, which ryas - very brilliant. This evening we expect the andpleasureof seeing their Majesties, with Prince Adalhert Prince Frederick at the theatre This le Due.

In spite of the English, who had represented the ruin of the Dutch as certain, and had already announced it, every body was transp , :rted with enthusiasm. It seemed as if the colony, which is now very, very unhappy, was at once delivered from ill its distress, and flourishing- as it formerly was. A subscription was immediately opened among the more opulent inhabitants for a public entertainment in honour of the glorious victory of the Dutch over the Belgians, which will soon take place, and at which we shall enjoy ourselves in a truly patriotic manner, as a proof of our universal sentiments.

At diff , rent points several divisions are concentrated, and the previous reso lution to place the troops in more extended can tonments seems to he abandoned. Many of the regiments that were on their march to the in terior of Russia have turned back. Two battalions of infantry have received orders to march to the principalities, where they are to be stationed so as to be able to reach in the shortest possible time the port of Odessa, where, it is said, preparations are making for the embarkation of 15,000 men. This in asure seems to be connected with some important political combination. Some persons be lieve that Russia desires to exercise a more decisive in fluence in Greece, if the adversaries of the Russian Co vernment in that country should obtain too great a pre ponderance. Others fancy that this measure is connected with the events in Italy and their probable consequences. Others, again, are of opinion that the expedition of Me hemet Ali is the inducement to these military precautions, it being intended to support the Porte, in order to paralyse the great influence of France in Egypt. All these, however, are but conjectures, resting on no cer tain, or at least no known facts ; but at all events seem to shew the intention of the Russian Court to have a large force in the vicinity of the theatre of the impor tant events in Europe, which have already taken place, or which probably may take place, in order to cooperate in them. Prince Paskewitsch is said to be almost exclusively engaged with military affairs, and to correspond on the subject with a distinguished German General. This does not seem to indicate a long continuance of peace, unless on the strength of the old maxim, that to insure peace we must be prepared for war. VIEN;iA: Artur, 18.—Five per Cent.

The Conservatives, as they impudently style themselves, have again been uplifting their " sweet voices" in Gloucestershire. A meeting of these very peculiar patriots took place on Tuesday last at Gloucester, and had the singular advantage of being graced by the presence of the Duke of BEAuFoRT—a lofty aristocrat, whose intellect is unquestionably of the brightest order, as any one who has once had the good fortune to see him, cannot fail to admit. Lord ELLEN BOURGH was in the Chair—Lord ELLENBO ROUGH ! What volumes of morality—of wis dom—of liberality—of refinement—of every thing, in short, that can adorn and dignify hu man nature, are comprised in these two magical words! His Lordship was more than usually eloquent, and talked and prattled about Reform, as glibly and as prettily as children talk about their play-things—and with equal strength of argument. Reform, said his Lordship—and he shook his well-anointed curls as he said it—was a gross delusion ; but for his own part he was " not unfavourable to such a moderate, safe, and temperate amendment of our representative system, as the altered circumstances of the times, the increased refinement and cultivation of the age (vide his Lordship's perfumed tresses, which might almost justify another Rape of the Lock), and the augmented wealth and population of the country, might render ex pedient." The tame elephant here speaks in hieroglyphics ; we feel it incumbent on us therefore to translate his language. By the safe, temperate, and moderate Reform, he means neither more nor less than such a Reform as shall have for its leading object the preservation of all sinecures—his own more especially. Let his snug pension of ten thousand a year, for which he has the exceeding labour of doing nothing, be preserved, and he, too, will become a Reformer. But any amendment of the representative system that may have the effect of infringing on this sacred possession, is not for him. He will have none of it. It is revolu tionary—jacobinical—unconstitutional, and such as no true lover of his country can or will support. This is clearly his Lord ship's i nterpretat i on of Reform, which, we doubt not , will have considerable weight with the people, as any remark falling from the lips of so consummate a statesman necessarily must have. A variety of other sp this not a bl e meet i ng of theeecchoeisisewr've a re tiv m es a , de an a d t among them was one by his Grace of BEAU FORT, which we regret not to see reported at full length. So great a Duke cannot but be a great orator ; it is a thousand pities, therefore, that all the informati on posterity is t..e.y to gain of his effurts on this memorable occasion, must be confined to the one simple fact, that " his Grace returned thanks ! Why a Manchester operative could do no less ; and shall this great Duke's oratory be no better known to fame than that of a common weaver ? Perish the thought ! It is an indignity to the ducal coronet. By way of neutralizing the effect of this bril liant fleeting of titled and untitled Conservatives, the Birmingham Political Union have wisely resolved on a general muster of the neighbour hood on Monday next. The speeches delivered at this gathering of the clans will, we suspect, be widely different from those mouthed at Glouces ter. Here at least we may reckon on something like common sense—eloquence —argument and sincerity—though it is more than probable that not a single speaker will have a star glittering on his breast. Still notwithstanding this defi ciency, the Waverers, when they shall hear that upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand resolute Reformers have decided that the ten-pound franchise shall not be raised, that, in short, no alteration shall be made in the Bill, will be apt to waver once again, and sullenly give in to what cannot he longer w i t h. held. We repeat our conviction that the fran chise cannot be raised. If the question be even taken into consideration by Earl GREY, instead of being scouted out at the threshold of discus. sion, e can solemnly assure his Lordship that from one end of the country, a cry, long, loud, and unanimous, will be raised for the Ballot, Uni versal Suffrage and Triennial Parliaments.: COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) T REPRESEI;TATION or nzs LORDSHIP'S STATE OF 11 EA Llll. The LORD CHANCELLOR, it will be recollected, rose at one o'clock on Saturday. (as he bad stated on Friday he would be obliged to do), to attend a Cabinet Council. On rising, he said that he would he absent for about an hour. At a quarter before three, finding that he could not get back as mon as he hid expected, and not even then being :,hleto ascertain at wh a t t i me p rec isely lie might have it in his power to r e t urn i n t o C our t, h e sent, that Counsel 'night not be kept waiting any longer, to say that he would not return again that day. Having soon afterwards, however, unexpectedly got released in Downing-street, he did return to the Court, but finding the Counsel had immediately gone away on having heard that he would not return, he of course could not have the arguments resumed which had been interrupted by his rising, and had no alternative left but that of going home. When his Lordship took his seat at ten o'clock this morn ing, lie stated the circumstances attending his detension or, Saturday, expressed his regret at not having beeen able to return so soon as he had intended, hut begged distinctly to state, that his detention had not been owing to having been taken ill, as it had been represented, but to business— ,olely owing to business. [His Lordship looked well, and appeared in good spirits.] Mr. JACOB expressed his happiness on hearing this cintradietion, given from the best quarter, to the misre presentation that had been circulated of his Lordship's health, and immediately proceeded to resume his argument in SMITH V. STARKEY. After the arguments were heard out, the LORD CttaN CF•Lt.oR postponed giving judgment until he had further considered the important questions that had been argued on the construction of the very intricate will which the testator had made himself. [ln pointing out the circumstances of this case, which, to us, chewed the extreme hardship imposed on the le gatees by the protracted litigation the questions upon this will had undergone, we did so, not only after having heard facts stated at the bar, but from the lips of the parties themselves. I❑ doing so, however, we used an expression which, without explanation, some of the Fifties, we are afraid, may calculate to injure them. Now nothing we stated was intended in the slightest degree to reflect on the parties, or to convey the notion that some of the leg itees are not in very respectable spheres, and fully entitled to that credit and respect which are very justly meted out to them by those who have their acquaintance.) ROLL'S COURT-(THIS DAY.) ,` WILLIMOTT V. OGILVY. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied up to the time of our reporter's leaving, with the opening of the pleadings in this case, in which the documents were almost as voluminous as the celebrated case of Small v. Attwood. The ohject of the suit was the setting aside of two deeds, which:it was alleged had been obtained by Mr. Ogilvy (who was one of the Directors of a fund, called the Customs Annuity and Benevolent Fund, established by Act of Parliament in 1816) by fraud ; and also to set aside two minutes entered on she boaks of the Directors. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Cause petitions and causes totally uninteresting to the public occupied his HONOUR, till half-past one o'clock, at which hour the Court rose, having gone through the whole of to-day's paper. KING'S 13ENCEI.-(THIS DAY.) lIEWSON V. R0(711E. This was an action brought by th e plaintiff, as surviving executor of the late Mr. Lee, collector of the rates for the parish of Sr. Paul, Covent-garden, to recover the sum of 194.1. 6a. from the defendant, who, when the cause of ac tioa an a., was Vestry Clerk of that parish. The action was tried at the Sittings after last Trinity Term, before Mr. Justice PATTISON, and a verdict found for the de fendant. The circumstances of the case were these :—Mr. Lee, who had been an old servant of the parish, about the year ISIS, became a defaulter in his accounts, but upon his giving security to pay the money by instalments, he was continued in his office of collector, and in the course of time that debt was liquidated. From time to time bonds were taken from him for the due performance of his duties ; but at leneth he became so involved that he could not get any person to become surety, and, from the kind feelings displayed towards him by Mr. Roche, the vestry clerk, sureties were not insisted upon ; hut it was customary for Mr. Lee to place money in Mr. Roche% hands belonging to the parish, it being always under stood that such money was to be applied to the purposes of the parish. Mr. Lee died in M a.ch 1829, and upon an examination of his ac. counts, it was found that he had incurred a new debt to the amount of 7481., which he had received on behalf of the parish and had not accounted for. He left a will, in which he named the plaintiff and his widow as joint ex ecutors. Tile latter had since died. Various meetings of a Committee of the parish had taken place upon the sub ject of deceased's accounts, and the defendant produced a book in which all his transactions with Lee were entered, and which showed that he, the defendant, had a bdance of 1941 Gs, in his hands, which he had received from Lee on behalf of the parish. That sum lie was, prepared to pay over to the parish, but the plaintiff put in his claim as executor to the deceased for the money, en the ground that it was the deceased's private property, and merely intrusted to the care of Mr. Roche. The pa rish at last ccepted the money, giving Mr. Roche a re lease and an indemnity against all liability in respect thereof. The plaintiff then brought the present action, which the parish defended for Mr. Roche. The question way, whether or no there was any agreement in Lee's time that the money was placed in defendant's hands for the purposes of the parish, and the Jury believing that it was, found for the defendant. On a former day Sir James Scarlett obtained a rule to show cause why a new trial should not he had on the ground that there was no proof of an agreement that the defendant held the money for the use of the parish. To-day Mr. POLI OCK and Mr. CII ANNELL showed cause against the rule. Sir JAMES SCARLET? supported it. Alter Counsel had argued the case, Their Lordships delivered their opinions sPriatiln. They were clearly of opinion that the question as to any agreement that the money was lodged in Mr. Roche's hands fur the purposes of the parish was entirely one for the Jury. They had found in the affirm 'tire, and in their Lordships' opinion very properly so, and therefore they re fused to disturb the verdict.—Rule discharged. COURT OF EXCIIEQUEB.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. RIDDLE. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, who is a paper-maker, for sending out a quantity of paper without its having been properly stamped as having paid the duty. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the sittings after Ali. chaelmas Term, and a verdict was found for the defendant In last term a rule to show cause why there should not he a new trial was obtained by the Attorney-General. This morning the LORD Cuter BARON read over his notes of the trial, when the facts of the case seemed to be as follows :—The defendant being a paper. maker, and having occasion to be a good deal from home, his wife was in the habit of transacting such parts of the business as were then necessary, such as giving notices for charging, &c. Some excise officers being taking the stock of a grocer and draper in the neighbour hood of the defendant, found a quantity of paper lying loose, without those stamps required to be put on it by the maker before its being sent out. This paper was proved to have been left with the grocer by the defendant wife as security for a sum of 5/. which she borrowed from him, in order, as she said at the time, to pay some duties. A verdict was found for the defendant, under the direction of Lord Lyndhurst, as he considered that a case of agency had not been made out strong enough to render the defen dant liable, at the same time reserving the point for the Attorney-General, so that it might be brought before the Court. Mr. FoLLErr appeared against the rule. He said the point at issue here was whether the criminal acts of a wife were to he given in evidence against the husband, so as to render him liable to the penalties for such acts. He considered tnat unless it could be shown in some way that the husband had given orders connected with those act', it would be stretching the law too far to say he was to be liable f or a ll acts committed either by his wife or servant, of a criminal nature ; fur though it had been laid down that these informations were not criminal, still they were of a criminal nature. His argument was, that no evidence had been produced at the trial to show that the husband had in any way given authority to Mrs. Riddle to pledge the paper ; that it was never attempted to be proved that lie was even aware of it, and be had never been seen at all in the transaction. He would a'so contend, that even by the defendant V ivi"_ the wife leave to conduct his business, it could not be ply , n evidence as against him, that she had been engaged in breaking the Excise laws, unless it could very clearly be shown that it was done with his knowledge. Great stress had been laid on the fact that Mrs. Riddle had bor r,) this money for the purpose of paying the duty, but th re was nothing in the case to show that the money was applied to that purpose, or that she had not math a,vay with so much money in ally other way, and had re .ort e d to this plan in order to make it up. In this view n' th e subject, it would naturally have been done without hu.b ind's knowledge. Nothing had appeared at the trial t show that the wife had any general authority, or authority to send out paper, but merely that her authority extended t, th:- giving of these notices for charging, and that, be con tended, could not be considered as an act of the business. Under these circumstances he trusted that their Lordship• wou'd discharge the rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule, said That he felt grrat anxiety as to the result of this case; for if the Irw should be laid down that the wife of a paper maker could in this way part with, or send out paper, without the husband being made liable, there would be great facility given for the evasion of the Excise laws ; in fact, they would be rendered almost nugatory from the dif ficulty of giving evidence of agency more strong than had loyn proved at the former trial of this case. It had been produced that in eighteen different cases Mrs. Riddle hal, in the absence of her husband, given these notices to the officers, and it was also proved by the Act of Parlia ment that paper should not he disposed of, or even manu factured without these notices, therefore they must be con sidered as part of the general business. It had also been proved, that she, on former occasions, had p rid her husband's duty, and he contended that these acts rendered the case strong enough to to to the Jury. Mr. CLARK, and Sir GEEORGE GREY, followed on the same side ; and their Lordships, after consulting for a short time, said they woo , d take t me to consider of their judgment. ARCHES COURT.-(THIS DAY.) RIcKETTS V. BODENHAM AND OTHERS. This was a suit for the substraction of church-rate.— The plaintiff appealed from the decision of the Consistory Court of Hereford, against a decision adjudging him to pay 345/. for rates. The appellant considered the rate not properly made, and therefore brought the case before the Court. Dr. LUSIIINGTON appeared for the churchwardens, and said the rate was legally made ; that the appellant had given in no exceptive allegation in the Court below, and that the sentence of that Court ought to he confirmed. Dr. DonsoN, for the appellant, contended that no pro per notice had been given to hie client ; and that, there fore, the sentence of the Court below might to be re versed. The appellant pleaded an improper use being made with the church rate as his ground of objection. Sir J. Nu.Hof, was at a loss to kunwhow the sentence could be appesled against, and dismissed the appeal, as vexatious, with costs. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Up to the present hour we cannot trice to any authentic source the prevailing report during the morning, that the ratification of the 24 articles of the Dutch treaty, by Russia, had arrived in London, which was the cause of an improvement both in the English and Foreign FuHds,— Should Count Orloff have been instructe t to send the result of the second reading of the Reform Bill to St. Pe tersbureh, previous to the Emperor's ratification, it will take some time yet for the answer from St. Petersburgh. We this morning conversed with a Military Gentleman, just arrived from Brussels, and if we can credit his opinion and assertion in regard to the quality and numbers of the Belgian army, it is more formidable than we expected. He says it amounts to 90,000 of the best disciplined troops he ever witnessed, besides 20,000 militia, who can be called into action at a few days' notice ; and he repre sents them as very eager to come in contact with the Dutch troops, which is expected daily to take place. The Funds, which were in the early part of the morn ing at 85 for the Account, are at present 85,i to with little doing. In the Foreign Market it is settling day, and up to the present time all appears to be going off well, and most of the foreign securities maintain their prices.

RUSSELL, THE GA OL ER.—TIIC Judges have agreed that the objections so forciEdy argued by Mr. KELLY', on Saturday, in favour of RUSSELL, are sus tainable ; and that under the circumstances, it is their duty to recommend to the KING that the criminal's life should be spared, on condition that be be transported for 14. years. This determination has the effect of not only saving RUSSELL'S life for the present, but of preventing the possibili t y of indicting him again for murder, in re ference to this unfortunate affair. One of the Protestant Bishops has, we are 'told, literally entrenched himself at a mansion in the county of Wicklow. He has laid in his store of provisions, and ordered that neither egress nor ingress shall be per mitted on any pretence whatever for a given period. Fu migating apparatus has been prepared by his orders, at a distant house, and here his letters and newspapers go through the sanitary process before they are debvered to Item.

Ihe return of Flour was also considerable for the time of year. During the week there was a dull sale for all sorts of Grain. This morning there was very little disposition on the part of the millers to buy Wheat, and 101 sorts may be reported Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. The Malting season being nearly over, there is at present very little trade for Barley at last week's prices. Beans and Pease continue heavy in sale at former prices. The large supply of Oats has not depressed this trade, but good samples sell for full as much money as last week. In the Flour trade there is no variation in price, but sales are very heavy.
