Whitwick,Thringstone,and , Swarthington, has at present but use Church. Of these the ToWuship of Whitwick alone, in which the Church is situates has a population of 1004: for which the Parish Church has sufficient, hut, it is conceived, not more than sufficient room . he Township of Thringstone contains 1181 persons, and that of Swannington 541: and out of this joint population, it is es timated that not less than 1200 live at the distance of a mile and a bait', and from 400 to 500-between two and three miles, from the Parish Church. To remedy this deficiencY in Church room, as well as to af ford increased facility of access to the National Church for the Parishioners who are at present 'most distant from it, it is proposed to erect a Chapel on a site to be hereafter ob tained, which shall be so far central to the Townships of Thringstone and Swannington, EIS not to be more than a mile, or at farthest - a mile and a quarter from any closely in habited part of either of these Hamlets. The expense of the undertaking cannot be precisely estimated, as the extent to ' , 'Lich it is . catrieel will depend on the nature and degree of the support received ; but supposing the building to be ex tvaded to the utmost limit proposed, viz. to be capable of cbsttaining from 330 to 400 persons, it is computed that a 'din from Eight Hundred to One Thousand Pounds would be -4 Ltheient ; and should the building be contracted, the expense l'utild fall short of the lowest of these sums. • ' fo meet this sum required, it is feared that no very consi derable supp or t c an h e an ti c ip a t e d f rom t wo Townships: b o th lit{ "13 very poor and indigent. Thringstorre burdened with 4 P°Pttlation of Frame-work-Knitters. Swannington also ins- Pverished by heavy demands from Colliers,wlio have formerly obtained Settternents there. The remaining sources from whence .support is looked fur are, Ist, from Voluntary Dona tions; 'idly, from applicatio n to the Society for promoting the building of Churches and Chapels. It is to advance the for mer of these two modes of support, that the present state ment is resp..ctfully submitted to the public. And when the foregoing facts at c generally considered—when, in particular, it is suggested to the affluent members of the Church of Eng -1 tAdibrinighout the County of Leicester, that no prospect of a similar (and certainly none of a more urgent) appeal to their Charity immediately presents itself throughout the County, it is hoped that it will not be for want of an ade quate share of public liberality that the Parishioners of -rhringstone and Swannington continue deprived or abridged of the inestimable blessing of worshipping Almighty Gad, .ACtording to the pure and Apostolical Rites and Ordinances of the Church of England. Subscriptions will• be received at the Banks of Messrs. Snow and Co., 217, Strand, London ; and Messrs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J ANUARY 5. THE MARQUIS DE DELLOIR V. LORD WATERPARK. Mr. SCARLETT stated, that this was an action on a promis sory note for 8001. given by the defendant to the plaintiff, drawn at Paris ' and dated the 27th December, 1787. The defendant pleaded the Statute of Limitations; to which the plaintiff re joined, that he had not been in England during the time the bill had existed. The facts of the transaction were as follow : In 1787 Lord Waterpark, then Mr. Cavendish, son of Sir Wil liam Cavendish, was in Paris, where he became acquainted with the Comte de Belloir, as he was then called. The Comte was the eldest son of one of the noblest and most opu lent families in France. Mr. Cavendish, resembling other Englishmen, was not the most prudent economist, a n being in want of cash, he applied to his friend to assist him, who ad vanced him 8001. and took his promissory note, payable at Crofts and Co. Bankers, in Pall-mall, six months after date. The de fendant, however, was not prepared to pay it on its becoming due, and the Comte did not press his demand. Ultimately Mr. Cavendish quitted Paris without repaying the Comte, and a subsequent correspondence took place between the parties on the subject. He would put in a letter written by the defendant to the plaintiff in 1792, informing him that his father was ready to advance him 2001. towards liquidating the Comte's demand, if the latter would take his (the defendant's) bond for the remaining 6001. payable six months after his (Sir William's) death ; but on no other terms would he advance even the 2001. These terms were not acceded to by the plaintiff, and time passed on ; the war broke out, and all intercourse between the two countries ceased. The revolution in the state caused a re volution in the fortunes of the Comte, now become Marquis of Belloir, and he caused an application to be made for pay ment of the note in question, but without, success ; war again breaking out, no further steps were taken till the general re storation of peace in 1315. The application for payment was then renewed, but Mr. Cavendish, who had in the interval been created Lord Waterpark, answered the application by a bill of equity, which suspended the plaintiff's claim till this time, and he now sought, by the present action, to recover the amount of the bill and interest. Mr. Noble, late partner in the house of Crofts and Co., proved the hand-writing of Lord Waterpark to the bill, and also that, at the time the bill became due, they had not effects in their hands to answer it. • The Bill was put in and read. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the defendant submitted, that the plaintiff could not recover upon this bill. By the Acts of the 48th and 53d of the late King it was provided, that no bill or promissory note made out of Great Britain in favour of any person residing out of Great Britain, aitho' made payable in this country, should be negociable here, or be paid in this coun try, unless such instrument was legally and regularly stamped, and had paid the legal stamp. duty. The present instrument was not stamped, and therefore, he submitted, could not be put in evidence. The CHIEF-JUSTICE was induced to think that those sta tutes related only to notes made abroad, which were payable on demand. This note was not payable on demand, but six months after date. But supposing the matter to be otherwise, he was by no means satisfied that these statutes had a retrospective operation. He, however, would not decide this point at Nisi Prius ; it was open to the defendant hereafter to agitate the objection, if there was any thing in it. The SOLICITOIt-GEI4ERAI then addressed the Jury, and described the note in question as, one originating in a gambling transaction, having been • Oven b y defendant to plaintiff for money lost at play, at the house of the latter, one day after din ner. The plaintiff was well aware that he could not legally re cover, or he would long since h a v e .en f orce d hi s d eman d. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, there was no proof of this fact; it rested only on assertion ; and assertion alone must not over turn the plaintiff 's right to 'recover, if the Jury considered the proof of hand-writing, &c. complete. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, when 'the Foreman asked his Lordship if they were bound to give the plaintiff in terest for the period the bill was over due ? The ClliEr JusTicE said, that was smatter of discretion resting with themselves. The Jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff' for 8001., the amount of the note, but no interest. Mr. SCARLET T begged to say that there was no truth in the insinuation that plaintiff' kept a gambling-house a t P a ris. He vouched this upon the authority of Mr. Manning, who knew the plaintiff personally. It was extremely hard.that the plain tiff should have his character, as well as the interest of his mo ney, taken from him in this manner. The CjIIEF JUSTICE.--.The case is over. POLICY. OF INSURANCE. DIXON V. IIEID. This was an action on a policy of insurance upon a vesse called the Governor Milne, at and from London to Sierra Leone. The vessel sailed from London in Oct. 1819, with a cargo of bricks, &c. fit for the AfriCan coast ; she arrived at Sierra Leone on the last day of the year, and her commander, Mercer, proceeded to dispose of her cargo, and take in a cargo for England. This return cargo - consisted of African woods, and having completed her I+ding, she fell down the river into the offing, preparatory to sailing for England, the latter end of March. The crew consisted of the master (Mercer) and 19 men, and they also took on board six invalids from the Myrmi don. Whilst at Sierra Leone, the first and second mates left the vessel, and the Captain took; two men, named Paddon and Holyoak, on hoard, to supply their places; they then sailed for England ; but after about three' - day's sailing, with light airs, the Captain (Mercer) quitted the vessel, to return to Sierra Leone, alledging,,as his reason for doing so, that he had not disposed of the whole of his outward-bound cargo; he would therefore remain behind to effect that, and return by another vessel. The Governor Milne continued her voyage, the command of the vessel devolving on Paddon. After a short time had elapsed Paddon died, and the second Mate, Holyciak, then assumed the command. When they quitted Sierra Leone, they took in a supply of water and provisions sufficient for 14 weeks ; but, in the course of their voyage, after the death of Pad don, the carpenter, Rogers observed, th a t several of the wat e r casks had been broached, and that the bungs were out of others. Roberts represented to Holyoak that this waste of water was highly improper, and the reply was, " What business was it of his, the water was for the use of the crew, and they must have it as long as it lasted." Thus things went on till the Bth of April, on which day a survey of the state of the water and provisions took place, and it was ascertained that the water was so short, that it would be impossible they could reach England, • and it was determined to make for Barbadoes ; they arrived there in due course ; and the vesscl, on being submitted to the usual inspection, appeared to be in such a state as to be unfit for sea, and she was condemned, and her cargo disposed of in various ways, at considerable loss; and to recover this loss the present action was brought. The defendants resisted payment, on the ground that at the time the vessel left Sierra Leone she was in a state of rapid decay, and by no means sea-worthy ; and further, that at the time the vessel deviated from her course to go to Barbadoes, she was at such a distance from that island, that she might have reached England with as much ease as she reached that island. To prove her unworthiness, the defendant called Mr. Fletcher; Lieut. Peake, of his ;Majesty's frigate Euryalis ; Mr: Thacker, the master of that vessel; and Capt. Compton, the master of a trading vessel ; all these persons signed the survey, as drawn up, representing the timbers of the vessel, her bow frame, upper and lower decktimbers, &c. as being in a state of entire decay ; their evidence now went no furthur than to prove that the bow-frame was to a certain extent defective ; that her breast-plates were partly decayed, and her lower deck-beams two or three of them broken and decayed at the ends. The CHIEF JUSTICE strongly recommended to the witnes ses to be careful in future not to sign and survey till they had carefully read it over, and foam' it to contain their opinions correctly stated. Mr. SCARLETT replied, and commented on the exaggerated statement contained in the survey, which he said had operated now with the witnesses in the testimony they had this day given ; and he was persuaded, if these Gentlemen had not been to-day shackled by what they had formerly inadvertently signed, their evidence would have been much more favourable for the vessel than it had been. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up,again adverted to the little caution used by persons signing surreys ; expressing a hope, that in future, more consideration would be given to this subject. The question, in this case, his Lordship left to the Jury. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned with a ver dict for the plaintiff: Damages, 2001. THE ARMY.

The Keeper of the •SealS.—The King has Ix- tiered us to subMit to you the project of a law relative to the police of the Periodical Press. A more general and extensive project,' the ez sential object of which differs from that of the new project, is that of indistinctly repressing all offences committed by means of the press. ll_t is at present under the examination.of one of yoUr Conceived according to other views and other systems, that project will perhaps now appear to yod susceptible of some modifications. We could not, ther , fore, Postpone making known to you the fundamental changes which the system of the Government has undergone, with regard to this subj Pct ; as it is by these changes you will judge in what resuects tkw said law of repression may be modified.—(Sensation on the left.) That licentiousness in the journals would be fatal, is universally admitted. Nobody disputes the necessity of regulating by a particular law the forms of their publication. But what aught these regulations to be ? Thls is the point, gentlemen, at which obstacles mul tiply, and minds begin to be divided. The greatest difficulty exists, perhaps, in the very nature of the securities which it is possible to obtain ; for some which are efficacious are ac companied with several inconveniences; and others, which would certainly be attended with less inconvenience, are, for the most part, in effectual. It will, therefore, be necessary to reject as il lusory and insufficient all those formalities of de tail—all those combinations, more ingenious than useful, an attentive examination of which at once demonstrates their weakness and imperfection. (The same movement.) • . This being the state of the question, it only remains to 'inquire whether it be possible to frame a small number of regulations, simple and certain in their nature, which, without violating the rights of legitimate liberty, may nevertheless diminish the chances of impunity, and thus con tribute to render the excesses of the journals - less frequent and less dangerous. But, gentlemen, circumstances are not at all times equally favourable to public peace, and the nature of our institutions does not admit of their receiving at all times the same supports. The securities ought therefore to conform to these differences, and vary according to these wants. in ordinary times they may be more simple and less extensive ; but in perilous eircnmstancec, in times of trouble, when the safety of the State is menaced, if the ordinary regulations are iusuf ficent, recourse roust he bad to 4.mporary mcx sures, the efficacy of which experience bus proved.
