FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Mesrger des_Chambres of Friday.) e NOTE AND DECLARATION OF RUSSIA. Count Orloff, after having recounted in minute detail the cirrumstances showing that, through the whole course of the B lkian neeotiations, he has not failed to give the unequivocal proofs to the King of the Netherlands of re spect and friendship which were conformable to the de claration.' of the EMperor his master,—a ter having said that the Cabinet of the Hague cannot refuse to him the justice to believe that he has acquitted himself of his task with zeal and perseverance,—proceed as follows : " A voluntary adhesion to arrangements (which the treaty of the 15th of Nneeinher sanctions) as to admissible amendments in a transaction that is to be final be tween two States, alone can termin ite this long and pain f tl negotiation. " The Cabinet of the King of the Netherlands has thought differently. " His Excellency will not pronounce upon the motives which hive influenced his Majesty in this :-!ecisiye circum stance, as his Majesty h formerly explained them. He claims to be sole judge in a determination which so nearly affects the rights of the Crown. " j3ut his Majesty cannot conceal, and we announce it with a prafound feeling of regret, that the Cabinet of the Netherland has lost, beyond recall, a last opportunity ot terminating tie Belgian affair in a marner conformable to its true interests, anti its Allies (more especially in Russia) must vainly hereafter seek tie means of being useful to it " The Emperor has faithfully fulfilled towards the King of the Netherlands the duties of a sincere and ingenuous friendship; hut he cannot forget his duties to the Euro pean alliance, and, least of all, his duties to the people whom Providence has confided to his care. These are the obligations which it is his Imperial Majesty's duty to con sult in the determinations which he shall hereafter make with respect to the affairs of Belgium. "In consequence his Majesty has charged the under signed to make the following declaration : " After having used all means of persuasion and every mode of conciliation to aid his Majesty King William to establish upon atnicible term', and in a manner consistent with the honour of his crown, and the in:erests of the f.ith'ul portion of his subjects, a separation between two great divisionsi of his kingdom, his Imperial Majesty does lint see any opportunity of hereafter rendering to the King of the Netherland. either support or suss " Faithful to his promisee, his • I ty will not become a party to the employmenr6 'rcive measures for corn; ening the King of the Netherlands, by force of a- ms, to subscribe the twen•v-four articles; but consider ing that these articles comprise the only basis upon which a separation I e: ween Belgium and Holland can be eff-cted, and they being oven to amendments, admissable in a final treaty between the two countries, his Imperial Majesty considers it just and reasonable that Belgium should re main in the enjoyment of all the advantages resulting from the articles in question, and more particularly of that neutrality, in principle, recognized by the King of the Netherlands. " Ai a necessary consequence of this principle, his Im perial rtlajersty will offer no opposition to any repressive (measures repressive:) which the Congress may adopt for the purpose of guarantee ng and defending this neutrality, should it be violated hy a renewal of hostilities on the side of He land. • In this case, should it unhappily arise, his! mperial Majesty reserves to himself the right to con-ert with his Allies as to the moans most proper for promptly re-esta blishing the neutrality of Belgium, in order that the ge neral peace of Etnope may be protected from even the least danger of violation. " His Excellency thinks than here he ought to pause, as be is not. aware of any thing further which, at the pre sent juncture. he ran usefully submit to his Maj. sty. H resigna it to the wisdom of the Cabinet of the. Hague to consider the consequences of a state of things which the most sincere and disinterested friendship could have wished to obviate." After having presented to the King of the Netherlands the foregoing declaration, Count 0,1.-ff demanded of his Majesty a can-gm-it-al answer. This answer being in the negative, the Count demanded his passports, ann on the next foil -wing day s:t out for London, where doubtless he halt afriied. (From the Messager des Chambres, dated Saturday.) PARIS, Manors 29.—The epidemic, the appearance of which we announced yesterday, had proceeded in the manner which usually characterises it; more patients have been received to day into •he hospitals, several died yes :terthrar and to-day. The fallowing is the armunt of the patients received at the Hotel Dieu up to to-day at noon: —Three on the 27th, ten yesterday, and five this morn ing. in all eighteen, of whom eight had died. The authorities had taken the wise resolution to pub lish every thing with the greatest franknesa, in order that fe ,r rn ty hive no pretext to exaggerate the import tnee and the ravair. s of a disorder which is generally more 1- ared than really 'ormirlede in our el:mate. We think that the alarm which the appearance of the disease causes will sub side in a few days, and that we shall see an end of the sod rl. n tl. parr ore of strangers and persons in good cireum at.tncvs, who, as experience ha• tiemonstrated, have, from th sir .itoation, less,rraAnn to fear the effects of the epide mic. The example of .Lonaon, as we said yesterday. ought to make the citiz n- easy, fir in that city the ra vages the cholera are so inconsiderable that the WI ibi . o tants deny its existence. Tninors, Marten 24.—The two battens of artillery destined for the expedition to Ancona remain for the pre sent at Tool, n. Three comp 'tries t f the Foreign Legion embarked yester day in the Vignyne, ie hich srtiled immediately for Algiers. The Calypso frisate, which has just returned from the Mor e a, is ordei e d to sea again. Some pers ns affirm that they have s , en, in the haunts of some well-known legit'lrists at Toulon, printed copies of a i.l,:n of a Constitution, which the Duchess of Ve. y woutd grant to France, as Regent of the Kingdom, in the name of her son Henry V. ; this Constitution is said to be Mora liber than the Charter of 1830 ;it would insure the provincial and commercial liberties,. of which the men of the juste-milieu have only given us the appearance. N-twitbstanding their pompous promises. we recommend the patriots to distrust these palpable sn ires. Parts. 1l I( CIL SO, 6 P. sr.—There are now 35 ra,tients in the Hotel Di, u, among whom are only four women. The disorder seems to have manifested itself in different parts of the capital. Everybody fears it, but it is not everywhere that terror fancies it is The physicians show great zeal—they go to the hospitals to offer their services. The cherniSts calm their neighbours' feirs by simple re ro,ilies, which they keep ready made up. ( From the Journ,l des Dehats.) The remedy agjsst the cholera morhus is in cleanliness and sobriety, and not in the place we inhabit. It strikes you in the country and spares you in town. The Official Report of the Academy of Medicine of Berlin proves. that 20,000 persons died in towns, and 80,000 in villages. For this difference in the mortality we can give two rea sons; in the first place, life is easier, more comfortable, mere substantial in some sort in towns than in the coun try ; n , et, in the country medical assistance is obtained liter, and with more difficulty than in the towns ; and in this disease the best remedy is that which comes quickest. It adds—. We shall not speak of contagion, in which there are no longer any believers." (From the Moniteur of Friday, March 30.) PARIS, MARCH 29.-The Moniteur gives a detail of the sanitary measures recommended by the Central Board of Health against the cholera, and also popular instruction, on the principal means to be employed as a preservative agair,s , the cholera morbus, and the conduct to be adopted when an nitests On the 29th, in the evening, there had been in ail 62 tn.awn ca , es of cholera since the commencement of the disorder. Of the 62 p rsons attacked, 24 haaldied. The German Papers brim word of the death of the crlelanited Goethe, at Weimar, on the 22d, in consequence of a cold, in the 83d year of his age. The celebrated cheinis zelius is also dead.

APRIL 2 18:i2. The French Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received by express. Their contents are entirely pacific. The cholera caused very ~e neral alarm in Paris, from witich numbers were flying into the country; but this panic must be of short duration when the people find that they are as safe in the capital as in the provinces. " The official account) made up to twelve o'clock Frid ty night, an•l publudied in the Moniteur, state that the number of eases of chub :t amounted to 178, of which 11S were males and 60 fetnales The deaths were 60; namely, 11 m Iles and 19 females. 01 the 118 remaining eases, there are '77 males and 41 females. There has been one case of cholera at St. D- nis; a soldier died there yesterday, after a few hoots' ,utferings. Umm the whole the tzeneral mortality has not been increased on••• sixth." Private letters, however, a , sert that the num ber of cases amounts to GOO. Being pressed for room w•e must refer for further particulars to extracts from the French Papers and to our City article. The news in the German Papers of the 25th, merely relates to the motions of the Austrians in Italy and the earthquake, near Cosewza, in which 700 lives were lost. VIENNA, Manor 22.—Metallies, Five per Cents. were 87i; ditto Four per Cents. 76a. In the present number of the Westminster I Review, there are several articles pre-f.nninently calculated to support the high character of the publication ; but there is one to which we wish particularly to call the attention of the public. ' It is an article upon the Law Reforms of America; and at a moment like the present, it is peculiarly useful to our countrymen to compare the reforms they have made in their laws with those which have been effected by their-trans atlantic descendants. Pra.:ti , ing lawyers are less numerous and less influential in America than in England, and the aristocratic division of the profession into barristers anti attorneys does not exist. Any person, not of the profe,sion, may plead or conduct a suit for a friend, and the law in every respect is more cheap, prompt, clear, and certain, titan in any country of Europe, not excepting even Denmark. The Americ,ms have no feudal tenures, manorial rights, tithes, or law of primogeniture, and their conveyancing is brief and simple beyond the imagination of an Eng lish lawyer. The special pleading and technica -1 lities which in England d e f eat a ll t h e o bj ec t s 1 of law are unknown in the Unit e d States. I Even in our colonies, where we have reduced I our title deeds or conveyances of land to what we have deetned the shortest form, they are four times as long as those of America. " Convey ancing," says the Reviewer, " was studiously divested of those forms which have been the dis grace of English lawyers ; and before the Revolution of 1776, a conveyancer wa , found willing to do this for the colonists in practice what it has been truly asserted prac- titioners might do, but which none have been hold and honest enough to accomplish in Eng land."—" In an English colony new lands are fettered by half a dozen serious previsoes and conditions. In the United States they are free from all restraints." A registration of deeds, mortgages and legal obligations, exists through out the Union, and all artificial rules, useless offices, and useless functionaries, are banished from the practice of the Courts. The law pro. ceedings are recorded by stipendiary reporters, and the Judges are made to analyze their sentences and judgments, and to record the principles and reasons of their decisions. Throughout America the professional lawyers are in the habit of studying the juris prudence of other countries, with a view of meliorating the condition of their own. In England we assume as a first principle, that the Common Law is the perfection of wisdom ; and except a few patchwork repairs by hole and corner Acts of Parliament, we deem an altera- lion of the law to be worse than sacrilege. Ec clesiastical Courts, probably the vilest in every respect that were ever constituted, are unknown in America. It is impossible within the space of an article in a newspaper to convey an ade quate idea how immeasurably superior to our countrymen are their descendants, in the public spirit and enlarged intelligence with which they reform all practical abuses in the State. Imme diately America threw off our yoke, she commenced a purification of all the abu ses, jobs and prejudices which had ema nated from the Tory country. The Presi dent JEFFERSON says, " Before the Revolution (of 1776) a judgment could not be obtained under eight years, in the Supreme Court, where the suit was in the department of the common law, which department embraces nine-tenths of the subjects of legal contestation. In that of Chancery from twelve to twenty years were re quisite. The reformation of this was among the first works of the Legislature after our inde pendence. A judgment can now be obtained; in the Supreme Court in one year at..Counnon law, and in about three years in the Chancery." This was written in 1785,—and such were the benefits of getting rid of English connexions. THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Posted at the North and South American• Coffee-house : " PORTSMOUTH, APRIL L—The following order was issued by the Customs here this day :—Clean bills of health will no longer be granted at Portsmouth, unless the vessel loads there, or laden at an infccted port, not till she has left that port ten days, and provided all on board are in good health. It will be stated on the bills of health where the ship was laden and when she sailed. Ships arriving here with all on board in good health, will be cleard on arrival as heretofore. THE FUNDS. The only fresh arrival this morning is the Express from Paris, which relates to three important subjects ; first, the French prices coming considerably higher, 71; secondly, the spreading of the cholera in the above capital, which seems to have greatly alarmed the Parisians, and numbers are flying to the country; thirdly, the approaching general pacification of Europe. In consequence of the improvement of the French Rentes, our Funds have experienced a rise, but not to that extent which might have been expected, owing to the speculators be ing still timid in entering into considerable speculations, before they know with certainty that the Five Powers have ratified the Dutch Treaty. We understand that the Bank clerks have been for several days occupied in counting and weighing the immense quantity of sovereigns remitted to this country, the exchange being so high that bills cannot be obtained on the continent, upon Eng land, particularly at Hambro and Holland. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 83% , / 4 for the Ac count, opened at 833 %, went up to 83 3 %, and at present they arc 83%. Although we have no arrival of a Dutch Mail, still we un derstand that the Dutch Funds have also got up : this account came by the Flanders Mail. In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock is 42 to HALF-PAST ONE. By our estafette letters of this mornimr, we have received the price of the French Three per Cents. after Change, 71f. i2tic. buyers. The private account 3 from the above capital, state the cholera to be very bad there—above 6th) cases since the commencement of its appearance. A letter from Naples, dated March 15th, says A shock of earthquake was felt he, eon the Sth inst about seven o'clock in the evening. but was very slight. The day before yesterday, however, expresses arrived from Cosenza and Catanzaro, with very dis astrous accounts. Catanzaro must have suffered most severely, as it is reported that 700 persons have lost their lives. We have not yet any intelligence from Lower Calabria or Sicily." PARIS.—To -day all persons who profess to be niedical men are to assemble in the hospitals to be present at the consultations, amongst is h is the chief doctor of the Polish army, with several others. Several cases have taken psace where the per sons stied in nine hours. BOLOGNA, MARCH 2.1.—1 t is stated that the whole of the second corps of the Austrian army, under General Geppert, is approaching Ancona. The Austrian force in Lombardy is esti mated at eighty-five thousand men. They write from Paris (30th March) that the pacification of Europe a year agi was looked Upl mas a de'usion, but to-day it is a certain fact. The great ability of Talleyrand, and the open faith of the French Cabinet, have assured the peace of the worl.l. The Improvement in the French Rentes has not hail a material effect on our Funds. Consols, which were in the early part of day at 834,14, went up to 8314 3a for the Account, owint , to some good purchasers in the market, since which they have been done at 83li % ; - at present they are 5314 14, for next time ti 337. 84. It is sad that despatches were sent off last Thursday by the Conference to the King of Holland, demanding his categorical answer on the sth of April to sign the treaty, and should he still remain obstinate the Five Powers are imme diately to sign the treaty. England and France are to take pos session of Antwerp. In the Foreign Funds Dutch Stock has rather improved to 42 to %. Consols for Account 83.1, THREE O' CL 0 CK. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, (Tins DAY.) — This morning these sessions commenced, before F. Const, Esq. and a bench of Magistrates. Nothing of importance took place up to the time when our reporter left. In a small town in one of our northern coun ties a strolling company lately arrived to " astonish the na tives," and the gentle Desdcmona of the dramatic corps con. sented, during her short sojourn, to domicile at an humble cottage near the scene of mimic action. The barn—we beg pardon, the theatre—being duly prepared, the play-bills thun. dered forth the tragedy of Othello, our heroine, of course, sus taining her " original" part. The rustic cottagers received a complimentary card of admission, and during the progress of the tragedy expressed themselves " woundily pleased." All Proceeded well until the scene between the Moor and our he roine, where he taxes her upon the subject of the " handker. chief," which, he says— " An Egyptian Sid to my mother give." This was not to be borne, and the bumpkin roared out, "That's a nation lie, Maister Black Chops—it wor' nae gypsy that did gie it, but my )teary, who lent it to the poor thing to come here to hact wi' it; I bought it mysen' yestere'en : and if she liar lost it, why she mun buy anither—there be plenty m ore like 'un at John Tumrnas's, in t' High-street."-0110. The two heaviest engagements now (after the remit retirement of the Woods and H. Phillips) pressing upon Captain Polhill, are those of Farren and Macready. They have both articled to be paid during Lent as at any other period of the season ; and Farren has bound the lessee down to allow him his full salary, even if Drury-lane should close, until the opening of the Haymarket. A prospectus has been issued for the s a l e or letting of Covent -garden Theatre, and we understand that a new and plausible scheme is in agitation, viz.—for the same person to hire both Drury-lane and CovLsrit-garden (at a reduced rent of course), and according to circumstances nightly, to play comedy at the one and tragedy at the other. At present each theatre is obliged to keep a tragedy and a comedy company ; but should this scheme be carried into effect, only one complete body of actors will be necessary, while the public have greater variety, both in the pieces and in the performer'S. it i s also in contemplation, in this case, to reduce the prices of ad mission—the boxes to 55., the p it to es. 6d., and the gallery to ls. 6d., abolishing, if possible, the shilling-gallery. ... . i l l . • ti r, .4 4 f., ' .... - 1 .g 0 0 . .8,.. 1 E Places and Dates. :o ... t.) . :,' 79: 1 C eq, ':' 13 4 .... = t.)

ACL (Signed) DEATH OF GOETHE. Goethe has just expired at Weimar. During the last two years, and particularly since the death of his son, his spirit lost its energy, and he was but the shadow of that which he once had been. To his daughter-in-law was he indebted for that tenderness and assiduity which soothed his declining years. Goethe retained his faculties to the last. Though more than go years of age, he still meditated literary projects, and talked of completing his " Faust," and of executing other elaborate works, with as much confidence as if he was in the vigour of his youth and genius. Few men, in the walk where Goethe shone so conspicuously, enjoyed more happiness than he did. His superiority no one attempted to dispute : he maintained a tranquil empire over the literature of his country, which was implicitly acquiesced in by every candidate for literary fame. In his intercourse with the world Goethe acted as a man of practical good sense : his en thusiasm and romanticism he reserved entirely for his produc tions. He lived to see his name universally worshipped; and upon Weimar, the place of his residence, he has conferred an undying interest. The death of Goethe cannot be regarded as an event of im portance merely to the literary world; it marks distinctly the termination of one era and the commencement of another. He expires with the literary age of his country, at the instant al. most when its political existence begins. KING'S THEATRE —A new Opera, by Donizetti, entitled, Olivo e Pasquale was brought out on Sa turday night for the first time at this theatre. The plot is governed from the beginning to the end by incidents aris ing from a stern and harsh determination on the part of Olivo, a rich merchant residing in Lisbon (Signor ma_ riana), that his daughter Isabella (Madame Merle) shall marry Monsieur le Brosse, a merchant settled in Cadiz (Signor Cu rioni), whom Isabella has never seen, and whom she does not choose at all to accept as a husband. ()Neu teases and torments his daughter incessantly for that purpose, and his fits of ill humour and decided anger, which surely afford nothing of a comic kind, chiefly fill up the two acts into which the piece is divided. Isabella's unconquerable aversion to the match, which her father has prepared without consulting her, princi pally arises from a strong attachment which has long subsisted between her and young Camillo, one of her father's clerks (Sig nor Arnaud), which has been, to a certain extent, unintention ally encouraged by Isabella's good-natured and fond uncle, Pasquale (Signor Vincenzo Galli). Ilappily for the lovers, Monsieur le Brosse is a very reasonable man, who, soon after his arrival, having discovered, by Isabella's own confession to him, how matters stand, generously resolves to lend himself to a scheme whereby her wishes may bo accomplished. The father is at last made to relent, through a variety of contri vances, which it is needless to explain here, and the lovers are finally made happy. Tne music of this opera is good, but very little of it original, being chiefly taken from Rossini and pre_ vious works of Donizetti. Madame Meric played and sang with much ability. After the opera, a new grand ballet, en titled, L'Anneau Magique, was produced, and received with much favour. It is very splendidly got up. DRURY-LANE I . III..:ATRE. lie 111211 t re ceipts of this establishment, during the present season, have averaged 2011., and the night's expenses, including every thing, are about 2401. ; consequently Captain Polhill has sustained a loss on each performance of 391. He stated, a few days since, to the principal performers—viz., W. Farren, Harley, Cooper, Wood, Phillips, &c.—that he was minus this season near 10,0001., and hoped they would come to a similar arrangement with that which had taken place at the rival theatre, and con sent to some reduction in their salaries. Wood and Phillips immediately declared that they would rather cancel their arti. Iles. The latter course has been adopted, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and H. Phillips are no longer members of the Drury. lane company. They, however, appear in the Oratorios, as usual. The matter as to the other performers is still at issue. It is understood that " the little people" (i. e. persons receiving small salaries) are not to have their niceties in the slightest de gree reduced. COVENT-GARDEN.—Saturday iiight, after Miss Fanny Kemble's Francis the First, Rosina was revived at this theatre, probably for the purpose of introducing Mr. Wil son as Racine, and• Miss Romer as Rosina. They were both highly and deservedly applauded. Miss Romer was encored in " Whilst with village maids,"" The moon retires," and" Sweet transports." The other parts were well sustained, and the performance very well received. The very scanty audiences at the two great winter theatres in the beginning of last week, led to the most gloomy reports regarding the intentions of the managers ; and the belief that Drury-lane would close suddenly was strength. ened by the fact, that nothing was advertised in the bills to be played after yesterday. On Thursday night, however, the attendance on the part of the public was so good (at least 2701. having been taken at both houses), that a new prospect seemed to open, and it was resolved to try the experiment for another week. However great may have been Captain Polhill's loss, it is understood that it has not been so heavy by more than 2,000/. as at Covent-garden. The long-projected arrangements for the new street from Waterloo-bridge to Long-acre are about to be car ried into effect. Workmen are now daily employed in clearing the foundation of Mr. Arnold's theatre, which will be com pleted in the course of the summer. The principal entrance to the boxes will be under a handsome portico in the new street. That which was formerly the chief part, in the Strand, will afford admission to the pit, and there will be various other pas. sages to the private boxes, stage, &c.; so that all the incon veniences which resulted from the confined position of the for mer theatre will be completely got rid of. When the building is completed the houses in the Strand will be removed, the te nants having for some time received notice to quit, and the street, as far up at least as the entrance of the theatre, will be forthwith opened to the public. Mr. Beazley, the architect, has long been prepared with his plans ; the first stone of the new theatre is expected to be laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, in about a fortnight. A c tors and actresses at both theatres have be gun to talk eagerly about their benefits, even thus early. Mr. Charles Kemble is to play Macbeth, a part which, we believe, for many years he has not sustained in London. Of course his daughter will be the Lady Macbeth, and we earnestly hope it may not be found a character above her power's. All we venture to say is, that she is at least as competent as any actress now on the boards. Lady Dacre's Isaure is to be put into rehearsal for Miss Kemble's benefit as soon as the success or failure of Mr. Sheridan Knowles's experiment in The Hunchback has been ascertained. It has been said that Graham intends to revive The for r a hisn t igh O t raniembaum i s t aug ht u p on thhee' Cabinet La i i l i e school c i a n s e t t erian system, but, instead of sand, chalk and sponge are used, it having been found that sand produced a species of ophthalmia. HAMBURGH PAPERS.

MESSRS. DUCKETT AND COS'. BANK RUPTCY-(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Duckett, Morlani, and Co., was convened at the Thatched-House Tavern, St. James's-street, this day, at twelve o'clock, by Mr. Barber Beaumont. The meeting was very numerously attended, and after some hesitation on the part of different members declining the office, Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT took the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said he was a creditor to the amount of 13,870, and could not but feel interested in the amount and dis posal of the bankrupts' propesty, which he did not think had been satisfactorily shown and proposed to be done at a former meeting—when not the creditors of the property, but actually persons who are debtors to it, took the lead, not only in the statements, but in the vote of thanks to Messrs. Duckett and Co., for what they were pleased to term an honourable candid and fair statement. This he thought not so correct as candid : for though there was said to be a surplus of 90,0001. on the items of the property specified, he thought that the standard of the calculation was incorrect, and that each particu lar was not only over-valued, but was in existence, subject to considerable exigencies. First, the two Canals, the Stork and Hereford : the Stork Canal was averaged at 5.0001. a-year, and was stated to be worth 30 years purchase. He had reason to believe that 5,0001. was not the average rental of that canal : and he was un. willing to believe that that or other similar property was worth more than 20 years' purchase—and this would make a consi derable diminution in its valuation, not to mention the probabilities concerning the uncertain existence of such property, if a railway or other convenience near to the canal were projected and completed. The same arguments applied also to the new canal near the Regent's canal and the river Lee, where it was said there were 45 acres of freehold property, although it was known that 28 of these were occupied by the cut of the canal, and all were averaged at 1,0001., which was certainly too extravagant a calculation, as he himself had lately purchased six or seven acres, wholly land, near Stepney, for 600/. Besides, there were considerable drawbacks, as expences, on these estatablishments. Other arguments he also adduced ; so, too, concerning the pictures, the wines, &c., which the Chairman said were enormously valued. He urged, in con clusion, the necessity of caution in the creditors concerning the appointment of assignees,&c.and that the property, (whatever amount might be realized,) might not be swamped in law ex penses. Mr, WALFORD (solicitor for the bankrupts) answered the objections seriatim of Mr. Beaumont, proving that the canal property was bonafide worth thirty years' purchase, and the average annual value stated. He proved his opinion by that of Mr. Giles (engineer) and others. He also ratified the state ment of the chairman concerning the books, wines, china, ancient manuscripts, &c., and said that a fair and separate of each would be given. He then said that the assignees pro posed were—Messrs. Henry Ellis, Baldwin, M.P., and Fowel, the petitioner's creditor. The business of the meeting was proceeding when our re porter left. It was announced that the assignees, &c., would be appointed on Thursday next. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

This was an action brought by the executors of the late Mr. Bird, an attorney at Birmingham, against the Norwich Union Life Society, to recover the sum of three hundred thousand pounds upon a policy of insurance effected by Mr. Bird, in March 1827. The claim was resisted by the Office, principally upon the ground that there was a want of sufficient communi. cation of a particular disease under which Mr. Bird had been labouring in June, 1825, and December, 1826. The pleadings in the cause were so framed as to call upon the Office to esta blish by evidence the concealment of such disease, and in the progress of that investigation an objection was taken by the plaintiffs' Counsel to a point of evidence as to whether Mr. Bird could be ignorant of the existence of the disease at the time he effected the insurance, when the following discussion ensued : Mr. Baron BAYLEY.—How do you propose to make that evidence, brother Wilde ? Mr. Serjeant WILDS.—My Lord, the ground on which I submit it is evidence is this. In the outset of the case I stated that I should endeavour to point out a ircumstances to show a consciousness on the part of Mr. Bird of the state of his own health ; but that is not essential to this case, it is a point I am not desirous of establishing, because I feel that many observations may be fairly and properly urged to rebut any such impression ; but at the same time it seems to me material to show that the state of Mr. Bird was such as ought to have been communicated to the office, because that is part of the general inquiry as to what his actual condi tion was I have no desire to proceed a step beyond that, even if 1 had the means of shewing that Mr, Bird was aware of it, be. cause I am perfectly satisfied what ideas individuals of sanguine expectations may entertain as to matters relating to their wel fare. I am not desirous of bringing home a charge of direct fraud to Mr. Bird, because by the condition of the policy, the Norwich Union Office have the power of retaining the premium effected upon every life they run the risk of, where there is an intention to commit a fraud upon them. I am not desirous of establishing fraud ; but I am ready now, as the office always has been, to return the premium, and treat the case as free from fraud. The office, of course, would not feel themselves authorized to do that, if they felt that fraud was intended ; they are perfectly willing to put the case on this footing, that there was not due care and attention to the facts material to enable them to form a judgment of the ordinary risk, and therefore that they are entitled to a verdict, and are willing to take a verdict by consent, the plaintiff's agreeing to enter a stet processes, re nouncing all claim in the policy and costs, the premiums being returned. I apprehend my friend, after that, will with draw his objection. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS--My Lord, Mr. Bird, as a profes sional man, was well known to all the members of the Midland Circuit ; he was a highly respectable man, and perfectly in. capable of fraud. Whether lie thought the disease would tend to shorten his life or not, is a question for the Jury, but I must confess that I think there was a con cealment, though not intended on his part, that ought to have been made known when the insurance was effected. The executors are highly respectable men, ,and they as well as the family are desirous of acquitting Mr. gßird of any intention of deceiving the office ; they feel satisfied with what my Learned Friend has said relative to that, and I think they will best discharge their duty by accepting the handsome proposal which he has made on behalf of the office—returning the premium. Under these circumstances, therefore, I am sure your Lordship will not think I am sacrificing the in. terests of my clients, either in point of character or the money, which is of the least importance. I confess, in my opinion, the best termination of this case will be the office returning the premium. Mr. Serjeant WILDE—My Lord, to show the spirit with which the office has acted, I come prepared with a resolution of the Directors of the Norwich Union Office, agreeing to leave it to my Learned Friend, myself, and the Office Solicitor, to dispose of the case under your Lordship's sanction. Mr. Baron BAYLEY.—/t is behaving exceedingly hand some on the part of the (eke. There certainly is no imputation upon the character of Mr. Bird, and, in my judgment, the Executors have exercised a very proper discretion in acceding to the liberal offer which has been made by the office ; because although I admit that there was no fraudulent concealment, yet I have no difficulty in saying that there ought to have been a communication of the disease under which he had been suffering in June 15•25, and in December ISX, and even if the plaintiffs had obtained a verdict to-day lay firm opinion is that the Court of Exchequer, from which this case comes, would, upon payment of the costs, have set aside the verdict, and have given the office the opportunity of introducing upon the record a plea of non communication of material matter. lam perfectly satis fied, if there had been a plea of that description, I should have expected any Jury would have come to the conclusion that there had been a want of material communication at the time the po, licy in question was effected ; there must, therefore have been a verdict for the office. Gentlemen of the Jury, you will find a verdict for the defendants. The case for the plaintiffs was conducted by Mr. Sergeant Adams, Mr. Balguy, and Mr. Humfrey ; and for the defen dants by Mr. Sergeant Wilde (who was brought special from Western Circuit, Mr. Clarke, KC., Mr. Sergeant Goulburn, and Mr. Hill COLLIERY DISTURBANCES IN THE NORTH. (F&011 OUR OWN conaEsrownincr.) Newcastle-on-Tyne, Saturday, March 31, 183 g. There is at present every appearance of a strike" or cessation of work on the part of the colliers in this part of the country. The bonds which are entered into by the masters and men annually expire on the sth of April (Thursday next) : by this time the pitmen should, accord ing to the usual practice, have renewed their engagements for another year. They have been bound, however, at comparatively few of the col- l'eries yet; and emboldened by their having suc ceeded in obtaining their own terms from the coal owners, when a difference took place last year, they appear by their conduct resolved to throw the district again into confusion, in the hope of deriving still greater advantages for them selves. A. few days ago they required the prin cipal viewer at Helton colliery to be discharged, otherwise they would not be bound. On Tues day or Wednesday last six of these men were committed to Durham gaol for ill-treating another pitman. This day (Saturday, March 31), a considerable sensation has been produced here by the report that thirteen more of the Hettoh men who were taken into custody last night, for assaulting some two or three pitmen who had left the Union, were forcibly rescued by a large body of the colliers. The magistrates of the county of Durham have just sent to Newcastle .for the assistance of the military, and a troop of horse has been de spatched to aid the civil power. It is hoped matters may be peaceably settled without further disturbances, but the aspect of affairs is at-pre sent rather gloomy. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCLIANGE. In the past week the arrivals of most kinds of grain were tolerably good, and the market was very dull for the sale of nearly every article. This morning the fresh supplies are mo derate. The who:esale trade retains its late dullness, except for very fine parcels, which sell readily at an improvement in prices. Barley remains in the same dull state as lately reported. Beans are heavy in sale and, rather cheaper. Pease meet little inquiry, and remain as last quoted. For Oats the demand is not free; and unless for good parcels, this article may be re ported is. per quarter lower. The supply of flour is good, and the trade heavy at last quotations.
