Mr. JAMES CANNING FULLER, a Quaker, who has come over to represent the Abolitionists of New York in the Anti-Slavery Convention, shortly addressed the meeting, but the same remark applies to him. A resolution of thanks was then passed with acclama tion to Mr. Knibb. Thanks were also voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL. RE-EXAMINATION OF COURVOISIER. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Inspector J. Tedman, D.—The position in which the candlestick was placed was calculated to throw a light directly on his Lordship's face. I found there the two silk purses produced. One had half a sovereign in it, the other was empty. I asked him if an ything else was missing. He said, Really I cannot tell you ; but Ellis can. I asked who Ellis was, and he said, The late valet, now living at Lord Mansfield's. I then went to the table between the middle and the third window, and found there a pair of boot-hooks and a gold pin —(produced)— ' there was likewise a tooth-brush and a tumbler, which I have not brought. The prisoner said " His Lordship wore that pin yesterday." I next examined the table on which was the looking-glass in the corner of the room, and found the silver articles now produced, they are all silver, and were lying there as for use. I found also there a pair of gold eye-glasses. I found two razors there, which I produce ; they were in the case as they are now. I examined them ; there are no marks en them. They have been examined by a hair-dresser, and be could find no marks. I found another case, containing 4 razors, hanging ou a nail by the side of the fire-place, close to the dressing-table. There were six walking-sticks, four gold mounted. I said it is a very curious thing to leave all this valuable property behind. The prisoner said it was cer tainly very strange, I said, " Is there anything missing from here ?" He said, " No ; I do not think there is." I next examined a table at the foot of the bed, near the middle of the room, and found on it this dressing-case (produced). It was broken open. I re moved the top, and found five rings inside, four mourning and one chased, and a gold seal, four glass bottles, and a paper knife. I asked the prisoner if anything was missing, he said, Yes, the five gold rings his Lord ship wore yesterday, they are missing, and some brooches. I said is there anything else ? He said I can not tell, but Ellis can. The prisoner assiated me to exa mine every article. I next examined the cupboard close by the fire-place, and found a silver-mounted tobacco-pipe and an opera-glass. In the wardrobe between the door and the cupboard I found a quantity of wearing apparel. The locks were perfect. I found a rushlight stand at the foot of the bed. It contained a rushlight, about one-third burnt out. I asked the pri soner at what time his Lordship went to bed ; and he said, at from half past twelve to one. I examined the back of the bed-room door. There was a key in it inside. I asked prisoner if his Lordship's door was locked last night. He said no ; his Lordship never locked thedoor. The door is covered with green baize, and shuts with a spring. It opens and shuts so easily that a person awake even would not hear it. I next went into the front draw ing-room, there was nothing particular there; in the back drawing-room there are two sofa tables, all the drawers of them were half open. There was a writing desk at the corner of the room fronting the window by the side of the fire place. Mr. HaLL then suggested that as the evidence as to the state of the bed-room was concluded, they should now, to accommodate the medical gentleman, Is hose time was valuable, proceed to examine them, and afterwards resume the examination of Inspector Tedmar. Mr. nobler and Mr. Flower were willing to accede to the suggestion. Mr. Henry Elsgood, Jun., of 14, Upper Brook-street —I am a surgeon. I was called to the house of Lord Wm. Russell et half-pest seven on the morning of the 6th May. I went up to his bed-room, and found some policemen there. I examined his Lordship's bed. I knew his Lordship by sight. I found his Lordship in bed, lying partly on hia right side. I turned the clothes down to examine him, and removed the cloth from his face. I found him lying i❑ an easy, quiet position. He appeared as though he had net moved at all. His countenance was composed, He was dead. I found a wound in t.is neck, extending to a considerable depth and length. I should say it was such a wound as would instantly destroy lite. It extended from the top of the left shoulder to the right side of the thyroid cartilage, which, though ossified, was entirely divided, together with the cesophagus, the carotid artery, and a portion of one of the cervical vertebrae. It was about three inches in depth. The muscles of the neck were entirely divided. His Lordship was a man of spare habit. The greatest depth of the wound was at the shoulder, and exposed the vertebrae, The wound was there about five inches in depth ; the vessels had contracted to a certain extent. I examined the bed, and there was no instrument of any sort whatever near his Lordship nor within reach of him. There were razors at the further end of the room, but they were shut. His Lordship's death was produced by that wound. It must have been a very sharp instrument, and there must have been con siderable purchase. I should hardly think a razor was an instrument of sufficient power. I should think the wound had been inflicted by the right hand. I should think the wound had been inflicted in the situation in which I found him. There was blood upon the pillow close by his neck. I saw a great deal of blood in the bed. I should think his death was instanteoous. The wound was an incised one. I think the blood was prevented fly ing about the bed, by the application of the pillow to the wound immediately it was inflicted, which would direct the stream of blood downwards. The wound appeared to be one cut. It is impossible he could have done that him self. On the Friday I saw two cuts on the thumb of tke right hand. The ball of the thumb s►as nearly severed, and beneath it was a smaller cut. ' Mr. Nussey, 4, Cleveland-row—l am a surgeon. I was the medical attendant of the late Lord W. Russell. I was sent for to his house on the morning of the 6th May. He was 73 years age ; he wes of spare habit. I went to his house on the morning in question a little before nine, and went to his bed-room immediately. I found him in bed dead. I examined him with last witness, and found the appear ances he had described. Seeing what had happened, I desired thoss present to replace everything on the bed as they found it. 1 could feel the cervical vertebrae ;it was the fifth or sixth, and 011 C of the processes coming from it had been actually cut off. It was physically impossible he could have inflicted the wound himself. I remarked that the left hand had a tight grasp of the sheet ; it was perfectly free from blood. I removed the sheet. The ball of the right thumb was nearly cut off, and hanging by a piece of skin. The elbow was bent, and the hand on the chest. If the hand had been raised it would have fallen so in the act of death. I ap prehend the wound of the thumb arose from an almost in voluntary effort on his part to put up his hand, when the same instrument that inflicted the wound in the throat would cut the thumb, and the hand would fall in the act of death. I have never attended him for any wound. I coincide with the explanation of the last witness as to the flow of blood. There was none on the top of the bed or the counterpane. Inspector Tedman recalled—He continued his evidence as to the state of the back drawing-room. I found a Devonport writing-desk broken open, and papers scattered about.' There was a bunch of keys on the hearth-rag ; There was a chair near, on which was a chisel. I took it up. The prisoner was there. I said, Does this chisel belong to you? He said, It does. I said, Did his Lordship use it yesterday ? lie said, Ido not know. I then went down into the front parlour, and found three drawers in the side. board pulled out. On the carpet a silver dish and stand, and a plated candlestick. I asked the prisoner if there was anything moved, and he said, " Yes, some spoons and forks," that was after looking them over. Me said he did not know how many. I looked into the back-parlour, where there was nothing particular. I then went into the passage, and found the napkin pro duced tied up, and inside it the silver dish-cover, sugar dredger, teaspoon, thimble, and the top of a pepper-castor, and a Cayenne spoon, a gold pencil case, and tooth-pick and a gold mounted case, and a pair of spectacles out of a case—the last three articles were in the folds of the napkin outside. I found a cloak folded up and an opera glass upon it, in the case as it now produced. Prisoner said it was his Lordship's cloak, and that the other articles were his property. I said no thief would ever leave this property behind. He said, It is something very odd. I asked him about fastening the street- door that night. He said, I fastened it myself. He showed me bow, by putting the chain up, locking it, and bolting it. I asked him how ,he found it that morning. 1 - 1,3 said, as you see it now; he meant unbolted, unchained, and the lock back, so that All the d any one could let themselves in with a key. I then pro ceeded to the front kitchen. I exami n ed the drawers ; they were all drawn out, and everything in t h em disordered. T ra he we p rs ri h so a n v e e r lo a c n k. housemaidd s the Noneof them seemed present. forced.A cupboard doors were open, and the locks spru n g. The bolts were shot as if open. The locks of th e drawer s did not appear disturbed. There is a door from the kitchen to the front area. There is no appearance of da ma g e t o i t. It has good fastenings. I then went into the butler's pantry. There is a large press there ; I found it open. It seemed to have been forced as if by seine circular blunt instrument, and there was also the mark of a chisel. There were locks in the drawers and the door. Great force seemed to have been used. The bolts had been shot. There is a window over the sink ; it looks into the back area ; it was unfast ened and is close to the fire-place. I asked him if he had fastened the window last night ? He said, Ido not think I did, but am not certain. I asked him if there was any thing missing then ? He said he did not think there was. I then vvent to the back area door and examined it in prisoner's presence. There were various marks en the door and door-posts. 1 pointed them out to him, and he pointed out others to me which I had not ob , erved. Mr. Baker came in, and prisoner left me, I examined the other parts of the premises, but could see 110 marks on the walls anywhere. There is a slating on the top of the wall, and that was not touched. No one could have come over without disturbing that slating. I afterwards went up to the sleeping -rooms of the servants. The prisoner took me and Inspector Beresford into his room. He pointed out and opened his boxes. There was a box, a portmanteau, a carpet bag, and a chest of drawers. In his box where he kept his clothes, I found this purse containing a 51. note and six sovereigns. I showed it him and asked him where he got the note. He said, " I changed it for his Lordship a few days ago. I gave him change for it." He said the whole of it was his own money, and that he had had it some time. I saw Beresford take a chisel out of the portmanteau. There were two shirts examined then, but we could find no marks of blood upon them. There were eight other shirts in the room, and one the prisoner had on. There was no blood on any of them. I asked prisoner if he had anything on him. He unbut toned his clothes and turned out all his pockets very readily. He had a few shillings in his trowsers pocket. I did not perceive any locket. I remained in the house. On the Wednesday and Thurs day night the prisoner slept alome. We had searched the bed on the Wednesday; the bed clothes were down, and it seemed hollow in the middle ; but it is difficult to say if any person lay in it, as a person lying in it would make but little impression. He had access to those rooms in the day time. He was watched so as to prevent his communicating with the other servants, but n o thi ng further. He had opportunities of going into the room un accompanied by any person. He had a clean shirt on on the Wednesday. I should not think it possible for any thing to be concealed in the bedroom. The search was a general one. The prisoner was removed on the Sunday night to the station-house. There wa s an app li cat i on on the day of the last examination, the 13th, for the prisoner to be supplied with fresh linen. I got it out of his room, accompanied by the Sergeant, D 13. I looked out from the portmanteau in which I had seen those shi r t s t h e li nen that he desired. On that occasion I unfolded the shirt, as I had done in the first instance. I took it up and shook it, and those gloves (produced) dropped out of it.—(The gloves are of white cotton, and are spotted with blood. ) They were not there when I searched it. No linen had been placed there to my knowledge after I searc h e d i t, unless the prisoner placed it there himself. There has been other linen brought for the prisoner since he was taken away, which I have taken charge of. It bas remained untouched until to-day under lock and key, so that it could never have been in his possession. It is a clean shirt. The gloves were marked with blood, as they are now—the left-hand glove. I have examiqed the prisoner's hand, and find no mark of any cut or scar. By Mr. Flower—You found those gloves eight days after the man was searched? Witness—Yes, Sir. By Mr. HALL—There is no lock on the bed-room. The portmanteau was unlocked. No one but the police and the female servants had access to the room. Inspector Davis, C division of police—l went to Lord W. Russell's on the morning in question. I saw the prisoner and last witness there ; we went up stairs directly. I saw the room in which Lord William was lying, in the state Mr. Tedman has described it. I afterwards exa mined the marks on the back door leading to the area. I should say that if the door were shut many of them could not have been made, as the marks on the door-posts did not correspond with marks on the door. Some were con siderably lower than the corresponding marks. Mr. Flower—This is mere matter of opinion after all. By Mr. HALL—I should say the marks, were made by some dirty blunt instrument. At the lower bolt, which would not catch at all, there were marks of great violence where there was least violence necessary. There was a slight black mark in the bruises of the wood. This did not appear to have been done by re gular means. Had it been done with a jemmy outside, there must have been marks on the outside of the door post. The socket of the upper-bait was an the floor, with two nails in it; it had been forced off; it was lying on the ground inside. If the bolt had forced it off, the socket would have presented the same appearance, but there must have been marks of much greater violence on the outside of the door. My opinion is, that it was forced off by an instrument after the door was open. There is a mark in the door post as if this bad been the case, and in the mortar beyond there is a mark as if some blunt instrument had gone through the socket and made it. This mark could not have been made by the bolt, for I have shot it and it will not reach the mortar. I should say it was recently done, because part of the loose mortar was hanging from it. There is a place called Ham-yard, at the back of Lord William's house. I went there and got on the roof of the house; at the top I saw no marks on the roof. I came down on Mr. Cutler's leads, and saw marks which I understood to have been made by other constables. I returned to Lord William's room, and the prisoner described various articles as missing, amongst others a gold watch and three seals. The watch had the words " Lord William Russell" en graved inside, and one of the seals had his Lordship's arit,s on it. After saying the coat of arms was a goat, he said I can give you the impression, and he gave me the ono produced. He said the watch was by a French maker, but he did not know the name. I assisted in searching the rooms of the female servants, and found nothing there. I searched the prisoner's portmanteau ; about the centre I found a carpenter's chisel ; this was on the Wednesday. I produce the chisel. The prisoner saw it when it was found, but made no remark. I produce the rushlight found in the shade in his Lordship's room. I asked the prisoner about it, and remarked to him that it must have been blown out, as the tallow had run down. I procured a rushlight from the same parcel and lit it, and it took an hour and a half to burn down to the same length. The prisoner told me he had lit it up at half after 12. By Mr. Flower—Tedman was present when I made the observations about the wall and bolt. Prisoner was in his pantry at the time, and came out to see what we were doing, but no observation was made to him. Arr. Hobler said that the next witness to be called was Inspector Pearce, whose evidence would take a long while; he had besides nine other witnesses to examine ; therefore he would propose, if it met with the approval of the Court, that the further consideration of the case should be postponed until to-morrow morning. Mr. HALL--. Very well—let it be so then. Prisoner you are remanded until to-morrow morning—ten o'clock. The prisoner was then removed. He looked much paler and thinner than on the last examination, and was, during the latter part of the day, accommodated with a chair. The Court was crowded during the whole day. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS , FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) There is a double character in the Church, which has lately been vet) , visible in the various modes of agitation which have been carried on in its name. There is the proprietary and the properly ecclesiastical character—the private End the public element in the present constitution of the Church. Till late times, these are almost avow edly hostile to each other; the vis inerticc of the clerical body decidedly discouraged its extension. Those who were in the enjoyment of what Gibbon called "the fat slumbers of the Church," had no wish to have those slum bers disturbed by bringing new labourers into the vine yard. We may affirm, without fear of contradiction, that the Church, as a body, opposed extension. The Church did not want anything done for it, hut to "let well alone," its maintenance in possession of its rich endowments, and the mere ignoring and non-recognition, on the State's part, of other commuaions--or the positive exclusion of that which had formerly been deemed the most dangerous —fully satisfied the representatives of clerical interests. Far from compassing sea and land to make proselytes, the Church, as a body, declined the aid of those of its friends who would have extended its means to do so. ( Fiom the Standard.) The motion to get rid of Lord Stanley's rim was made by a Repealer, Sir William Somerville. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. H. Grattan, and all the other Repeaters, were the most active supporters of the Ministerial Opposition. Can there be a doubt that these gentlemen feel themselves in debted for their seats, not to the honest votes of honest constituents, but to perjury and fraud ; and that having effected a Repeal of the Union, they would be careful to place perjury and fraud in the position of power ?---[Truly an amusing and conclusive sample of Tory logic !3 (From the Courier.) We understand the Ministers do not find the Stanley majo rity so contemptible as their underlings affect to consider it, and that a Cabinet Council is sitting, while we now write, discussing the question of retirement from the scene of continuous disgrace, or immediate dissolution. As to the former, it would be hailed with satisfaction by all Europe, Asia, and America; but with respect to a dissolution of Parliament, the Ministers have not the moral courage to encounter a measure which must inevitably terminate in their utter defeat. After another general election, the whole power of the Court, backed by all the potent and highly respectable influence of the Bed-chamber folks, would not be able to support them a week longer in office. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN YORK inquirers were assembled near different parts of the fabric, the public being carefully excluded from the interior. The manner in which the disastrous conflagration origi nated remains enveloped in mystery, various ru mours being prevalent, but that which is most current as well as most probable is, that it has accidentally originated during the proceedings of the workmen engaged in the belfry in the repairs of the clock. But this at present is mere conjecture. Doubtless a searching and minute investigation will be made by the Cathedral dignitaries, or the Lord Mayor and Magistrates of this city, and every individual connected with the building will no doubt be examined before them ; whose evidence, we trust, will clear up the mystery in which the origin of the catastrophe is now enveloped, and establish the fact, that the regret which all must feel at a large proportion of this venerable fabric—so long the pride of England and the glory of Yorkshire—becoming a heap of ruins, cannot be added to the indignation that it has been destroyed by a malicious enemy, or a wild and wan dering fanatic. Various estimates have been formed, some of them per haps by persons well qualified to judge, of the amount which will be required to restore the Cathedral to some hing approximating to its original grandeur. These esti mates, however, are premature ; but we have no doubt that whatever may have been the origin of the fire, there will not bo wanting a spirit of high-minded and honourable generosay amongst the nobility and gentry of this county, and throughout the kingdom, to restore the edifice to its wonted beauty and magnificence, whatever may be the expense, and whatever the consequent sacrifice, which they may again be called upon to make. That portion of the Minster, whose destruction we now sincerely deplore, was begun in the year 1291, by John le Romaine, then Archbishop, son of John le Romaine, treasurer of the church, who built the north part of the transept in the year 1260. The Archbishop himself laid the first stone with much ceremony, attended by the Canons, in their richest copes. It was afterwards finished, with its noble towers, by Archbishop William de Melton, about the year 1330. Thus, after having withstood the changes and mutations of time, and after having had its aisles paced by splendid and ecclesiastical processions of the ancient faith, occupied by the less ostentatious display of the Protestant Church, filled with Cromwellian soldiers, threatened by gloomy iconoclasts, and rich in the recollec tions of more recent and peaceful times, through a period of 510 years, in one night has its glory been brought to nought. It be remarked, that the very tower, in which Jona than Martin made his first attempt to destroy the Minster, on the night of the 2d of February 1829, but which he could not accomplish, is the one in which the present dire ful calamity commenced. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, MA Y 22. (Sittings in Error.) VALIDITY OF THE CHARTER OF THE MANCHESTER CORM RATION. RUTTER V. CHAPMAN. The Judges met again this morning in the Exchequer Chamber for the purpose of hearing the appeal in this case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL entered one by one into the objections of Mr. Cresswell, for the purpose of showing that these objections could not invalidate the charter. He contended that it could not be invalidated by the fact of its having been granted to a smaller district than that which had petitioned, and that it would have been impossible that the charter should have followed the mode in which formerly corporations were started, but that the charter was a good one at common law, and was one on which the power given by the Act had been superinduced. The Learned Gentleman then went on to show from the statute that rate-payers residing within seven miles were not excluded from its operation, and that the omission of a provision for a copy of the bur gess-roll was immaterial. Having referred to the various cases referred to by Mr. Creswell, the Learned Gentleman said he had now gone through the various objections urged by his Honourable and Learned Friend, and after hearing the reply from the other side, it would be for their lordships to decide upon the matter. He could not help stating, that he felt consider able anxiety upon the subject. He admitted that enormous public inconvenience would arise from their Lordships yielding to any of the objections that had been urged, but he did not mean to say that that would relieve their Lord ships from giving due weight to them, if in point of law they ought to prevail. At the same time these inconveniences showed that it was not the intention of the Legislature to subject any of her Majesty's subjects to such multiplied mischiefs. If these objections were maintainable, then all that had been done under the Charter was void—the Coroner was liable to be sued by any person he had committed by nt, warrant—the Jury having found a verdict of murder or manslaughter, the presentments were void, and all rates are void, and the Recorder could have no jurisdiction. lie would be liable to an action for false imprisonment, from every person whom he had sentenced to transporta tion. He trusted, under all the circumstances, their Lordships would come to the opinion that this was a charter granted to the Crown according to its common law prerogative. It was a charter on petition by advice of the Privy Council, and if so, then it was a charter on which the machinery he had referred to, might be erected, and statu tory power exercised, and, if so, then he submitted that Mr. Chapman was well appointed, and that these objec tions could not prevail. Mr. WinuTmANT, in the absence of Mr. Creswell re plied. He would o.bserve at starting that he had no ob jection to the praise his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General had bestowed upon the Municipal Cor poration Act. It might be beneficial or it might not, but at all events, it could not be said that it should be forced upon the inhabitants of any borough against their will. He would now come to the petition upon which so much had been said on the other side. It appeared that the number of signatures to the petition. out of 48,000 ieliabitant householders, was only 4,000, while 6,000 signed the counter-petition. Now it must be in ferred (notwithstanding the direction of the Learned Judge) that a majority of the inhabitants petitioned, and that must imply either a majority of all, or a majority of those who took part in the proceedings. Lord DENMAN—Suppose all the parties had previously had notice? Mr. Wieursteei would have a word to say upon the pub lic advertisement by and by. He contended, however, that if a majority of the inhabitants were opposed to the granting of the charter, her Majesty would have no power to grant it. Lord DENMAN—The J ur y h ave d eterm i ned that point, Mr. Lord( Jury had decided the question under the direction of the Learned Judge, but to that di rection exception had been taken. Chief Justice TINDAL—The evidence was that these 6,000 aro but a small portion of the 48,000 householders. It assumes that the remainder were present or neuter. Mr. WIORTMAN would take it at the highest, and assume that the remainder were neuter, and, therefore, they could not be taken as petitioners at all. The question was did the 4,000 petitioners represent the whole body? He submitted that the 8,000 counter petitioners might just as well be said to represent the wishes and feelings of the inhabitants. It was stated that the meeting was called by public advertise ment, but where or how that advertisement was published, or whether it could be taken as a legal notice to all the inhabitant householders, was not proved. In fact the legi timate way in which the sentiments of the householders could . be obtained was , t h at parties should go round and obtain the signatures of a majority of the householders. That might be a troublesome mode, but it was one which was frequently adopted. Now he contended that if the charter was originally bad by reason of its not having been granted at the prayer of the majority of the inhabitant householders, no acceptance afterwards could have made it valid. He submitted that the Learned Judge had misdirected the Jerry in telling them that al. though an apparent majority had petitioned against the charter her Majesty had a right to grant it. On that part of the case, therefore, for the reasons that had been urged by his Learned Friend, Mr. Cresswell, and those which he had now submitted, he contended that the Bill of Exceptions ought to prevail. He then came to most important objection which had been taken to the charter itself, namely, that it was not granted to the parties who had petitioned for it. Three of the townships had been excluded from the charter, and yet their Lordships might very well conceive a case in which, although the benefits (if benefits they were) of a charter might be advantageous to an entire district, yet, that confining it to a particular district, might be injurious to the interests of the great body of the petitioners. Several objections were taken to the details of the charter, and the manner of its working, and a rather sweeping answer had teen given to them by the Attorney.. General, who said that the Municipal Corporation Act was so framed that they could not grant a charter exactly under its provisions. If that were the case, why had not an Act of Parliament been passed to meet the case of these new boroughs, instead of granting a ch ar t er in a way which he must characterise as irregular and illegal. As in the ease of the first elections under the Municipal Cor poration Act, when an infinite number of quo warrantos were brought before the Court of Queen's Bench, and which resulted in the passing of an Act for the amendment of the Municipal Corporations Act, so there might be difficulties which it was incumbent on the Crown to re move, in order to carry out the first time a charter under the provisions of the 141st section. He came now to another part of the question, the grant of a Quarter Ses sions. He contended that in their petition to the Privy Council they should have set out the fact of whether or not a gaol was established, and other matters connected therewith. He contended that the charter must be invalid, because it differed from the Corporation Act, inasmuch as those who lived without the borough, although they might be rated, they had no benefit from the charter. Also the charter gave Mr. Rutter power to hold a Court for the revision of the list of burgesses, he took evidence upon oath, and the Crown had no right to give such a power. It was not following the words of the Act—it was exceeding the prerogative, and Mr. Rutter had no more power under the charter to hold that Court, or to take evidence upon oath, than he ( Mr. Wightman); on that ground alone he submitted that the charter was invalid, and that the judg. ment of the Court ought to be for the appellants. He had troubled their Lordships long enough, and would then with confide nce l eave t h e case i n t h e i r Lordships' band s . Lord D ENMAN— W e must ta k e t i me to cons ider this case. The ATTDRNEY-GENERAL—WiII your Lordships name any time fo giving judgment, as the case presses ? Lord D ENMAN—We w i l l l ose no time, and will give the earliest notice of the time we fix. SALE OF A WIFE.—On Saturday last one of those disgraceful exhibitions of a man selling his wife was about to take place in this borough, but the same coming to the knowledge of Air. Rust, sergeant of police, he, in company with three other policemen, went to the parties just before the sale was to have commenced A halter Was at hand, and everything ready, when the police appeared, and, as far as regarded a pub lic safe, stopped the proceedings. We understand the woman was afterwards sold for a guinea. The man who sold the wo • man is named Charles Kisby, and the man who bought her Thomas Foster, beer-shopkeeper, both of Wisbech High Fen. Cambridge P-ess. MINSTER. ( From the York Courant of Thursday.) On re-visiting the scene of the melancholy occurrence of last night, it reminded us of some shattered and desolated abbey of the olden time. The roof of the nave was com pletely stripped off, presenting the vault of heaven to un interrupted view, and the sun was shining with softened brilliancy on the mass of ruins below. The fire was still smouldering, both in the walls of the nave, and amongst the wood which was strewed in heaps on the floor ; but it was not deemed necessary to bring the engines again into requisition, as it was expected the fire would g r a duall y linger and di o away. O ne of the windows near the western entrance was partially destroyed; the great western window was entirely preserved and the others have sustained but trifling damage. The dragon, however, remains ; and the singularity of its preservation, together with the legends so well known respecting it, rendered it an object of marked interest. During the progress of the fire the vergers removed the books, cushions, and other valuable articles from the choir, and the music books from the organ loft, into the vestry. This was an excellent precaution, but happily no dan ger has a r i sen to t h e choir—nor indeed to the beautiful screen or valuable organ, which at one time were placed in so much jeopardy of total destruction, there not being visible or, either of them the slightest marks of disfigurement.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING.) HERALD.—The quotations of stocks remain without alteration. Yesterday Consols cicsed at 92} to for Money and Account. Some rather singular fluctuations occurred in money rates to-day. In the morning money was to be had for short periods -at 3i- per cent., but later on it was worth 5 per cent., and even higher rates still wore talked of. Bank Stock was 176 to Exchequer Bills improved to 23s to 25s premium. The periodical notice advertised for paying off the bills issued, and dated in April, May, and June, of last year, or:for delivering new bills in lieu at the same rate:of interest, was supposed to have some effect on the Exchequer Bill Market, as ap prehensions had been entertained tdat a reduction in the rate of interest was in contemplation, to which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, it was conceived, might be en couraged by the late rise in stocks, and the easiness of money to which it was originally owing. The very incon siderable advance in the premium on Exchequer Bills to day would, however, hardly seem to bear out the inference, unless it be assumed that the greater demand for money within the last day or two may have served to check the tendency to a further rise. POST.—Consols left off at the former quotation of 92 tog money and account, at which they were nearly sta tionary the whole of the day. Exchequer Bills closed at 245. to 265. prem., and India Bonds at 2s. to 4s. prem. The Government broker came into the market in the course of the morning and purchased Exchequer Bills to the extent of 50,0001., the price given being 275. prem. ; but something, subsequently to this, was done in them 3s. lower, owing to a very great scarcity of money that was experienced. Loans from to-day until Tuesday, the first transferring day in the week, were effected at 8 per cent. per annum on the deposit of stock, and there is no doubt that large amounts must have been borrowed at exorbitant rates, but for the appearance of an influential party, through whom business was done at more reasonable limits. The current rates, eventually, may be said to have ranged between 5 and 7 per cent. for the short period named. It is said that the Bank of England having required of the parties who became guarantees for the three Anglo- American firms, which suspended payment some time ago, that they should make good whatever deficiencies may appear on the respective accounts in the ensuing month of July, one of the number, more disposed to be troublesome than the rest—a banking concern—has demurred to the application, on the ground that there was no clause in the undertaking which rendered it imperative upon the gua rantees to pay anything uutil the whole of the affairs of the houses alluded to should be wound up. It is added, that the demand of the Bank for the reimbursement of their advances will, under the circumstances, be allowed to stand over till the July of 1841. After the great patience and liberality of the institution, we should have hoped the wishes of the Directors might have been met in a better spirit, and so, indeed they have, we believe, with the single exception referred to. At the expiration of the extended period, the recusants will, it appears, have no loop-hole by which to escape from the due performance of their engage ment. It is a pity, as things have turned out, that the Bank should have left any room in their original agree ment with the sureties for so shabby an interpretation of its provisions. SUN.—Money was scarce to-day, as much as six per cent. having been asked for it on the deposit of Stock. There was not very numerous borrowers on these terms, especially now that some doubts are entertained as to whether the Directors of the Bank of England really do intend to contract their issues. Consols left off this afternoon at 921 - for Money, and about 93 to for July ; Bank Stock was at 176, and the New Three and-a. Half per Cents. brought 101 i ; Exchequer Bills realized 275. to 255. premium ; and East India Bonds 2s. to 4s. premium. A sale or two in Spanish Bonds this afternoon, con stituted almost the sum total of the business transacted in the Foreign Market ; Spanish Active Bonds were at 281 i for present delivery, being the turn better: The Deferred Stock was at 13L'- ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. brought 353 : ; Danish Bonds, i 9 i ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 5-1, 1 1 . The Share Market has been less buoyant to-day, but a fair business was transacted. The more current quotations were for the Great Western, 26,i ; for the New, 13 ; the Birmingham, 88, the Quarter, 23. ; the Manchester and Leeds, New, 11 ; the North Midland, 31, the New, ; and the South Western, 18i premium ; the Brighton, 4-ig- ; the Greenwich, 9$ ; and the Manchester and Birmingham, 6 discount. National Provincial Bank of England shares touched 3, and London and Westminster remained at prem. The Foreign Exchanges were not better this after noon. Bills on Paris were taken at 25f. 50c. to 52.1 c.; on Antwerp at 12 ; on Amsterdam at 12 ; on Ham burgh at 13 8$ ; and on Frankfort at 149 to A singular announcement has appeared in many of the London journals relative to the claims of the Bri tish Auxiliaries on the Governments of Spain and Por tugal. The advertiser declares his ability to disclose a " simple, quiet, and legal plan," by which a full set tlement of all claims shall be effscted in two or:: nree months, and requests a meeting of those interested at the Crown and Anchor Tavern to-morrow at half-past twelve. If this be not a cruel hoax, the " discovery" will certainly be counted one of the wonders of our wonder-working age. THE MARKETS PRICE Ut The highest price of Bread in Loaf.
