EVENING !AID I ON ___ TO CORRESPONDENTS. To the complaint o f th e Subscribers to the Sheffield Commercial News-room respecting The Sun news- P,Ver (ecntaining the announcement of the b i rth of 410 Princess Royal) not being in the room on Sunday evening last before half-past twelve o'clock, we have made the necessary inquiry, and find that the Papers were in the Post-office at forty minutes past Seven but owing to the gaeat pressure at the small win. " 14 , where newspapers are delivered to those who won't Pay the Postmaster the usual fee of one guinea a year for 4 b°s, Mr. Rodgers, the proprietor of the news-room, could kit possibly approach the said window, but that he did apply at the upper window, but not having a box, Mr. Wreaks, the Postmaster, positively refused to accommodate the Po em, and it was not until half-past twelve he w as enabled to procure the papers. We have s everal other complaints of the late, and, in b a° or two instances, non-delivery until the b est day, though the parties applied for them more than once on Sunday at the Post-office. We understand Complaints are of daily occurrence of irregularity, in civility, and often downright insolence. We think it is tim e i lsomeinquiry was instituted. .' Henley's letter has been received. The charge which it contains against a public officer is of a very serious ellaracter, but we cannot give insertion to it in its pre- Seat shape, and besides we are confident the Postmaster 9eneral will not fail to , make the fullest investigation Mete all the circumstances of the case. THE MAP OF CHINA WILL BE PUBLISHED IN .THE SUN, 0 N SATURDAY NEXT, NOVEMBER 28.

As he is a pract.:i man, 11c suggests: the following mode of combined action My plan, then, is, thet the Reformers in each locality in England should elf:et delegates, to sit in a Convention, to be held in Londuu F;e ‘ , ..,eks . before, and also dur ing the early part of, t he approaching Session of Parlia ment. I propose teat it, esch district a number of de legates shall he selected, et ()portioned to the body of Re formers in that district ; end that especial care shall be taken to have as tn:ny as ;,,Iss;ble of the cities and towns which now send Mernbsrs t. Parliament, represented in the Convention. Every exertion should be made to procure the attendatteti (IS lei eliesent and influential men as delegates, from, the tlifF•ro,t loceities. The Irish people are eteectited by an Irish statute from sending delegates to seell a Convention. But I could easily get. myself eltieted by the Irish resident at Liverpool, Manchester, et. any of tee other great towns ; and many other Irish Members of Parliament would, I know, adopt a sinnler course. You could reckon on the punctual attendaeea ef many of us in the Eng lish Convention. To this body should be re'erred the duty of agreeing upon a plan for Parliatnenta-y Rctorm, sufficiently ex tensive to en!'srace all tine Parliamentary 'Reformers of Great Britain. It should be carefully prepared to let in all the sound portion et the working classes; so that a very substantial portion of the operatives should enjoy the franchise, and as ten' as possible be excluded. It should embrace the Belle', the non-qualification by nro entity of Members, the shortening, and the precise defi nition of the duration el each Parliament. When such a plan thall have been agreed on by a majority of the Convention, it should be, as much as possible, adhered to by all. The Convention should also turn its attention to at• taining funds to defrsy the expenses of petitioning, and the other necessary - expenses of advancing the cause of reform ; especially fer the registration of voters in the Liberal intetest, and for the vindication of the right of eetieg for all those unable to assert that right I,:r themselves. It should also sustain Liberal canii,lates upon every practical occa sion. It should distritaeo tracts favourable to reform. send round lecturer;, collect instances of bribery and intimidation, expose tie enormous inequalities and abuses of the pr_ sent. system, and take every other measure calculated to ()ring the moral power of the English people to boar down all resistance to the este blishreent of a fiLl refry In in the representation of the English people. Such a Convention should sit from day to day ; its doors should be open to the press, but no inducement should be held out to reporting, save what may arise from the intrinsic value of the subjects discussed. Do not, I pray you, be te: rifled by the idea that an attempt of this kind will fail. Believe me (and I have some experience) that it could not fail. We should be so thoroughly in the right in our peaceable agitation, that we could not fail. At first there may be but few members attendieg the Convention ; but the spirit proceedings would soon attract to and energy of (mt . us all honest Refotat. is. The nature of our business would give it puqe importance. I was mare than three months tverking at the Catholic Associa tion before I had thirty members. Everybody knows how they auenteeteel afterwards. It would be so with us. You and I wculd attend every day. We should get many others to assist us. The showing up of the venality and inriall(`etion in each particular borough would have not only a local but a general interest. We should take Leases, Sudbury, Cambridge, Ludlow, Harwich, and otitsr places, endpoint out the prac tical working in cesli of tile present scheme of mis-re presentation. I,a :leen there is so much real business to be done in acm ,, :•s; rating the defects, abuses, corrup tions, and criaiss present system, that public in terest never would tier.. nor would public attention be diverted from us, Ve should gradually accumulate so powerful a pn'.!:c, bf,dy as to secure the attainment of all practical all soietitutional reforms. Consult with tel.srs upon this subject. Separate associations fir rtfcrin, in different towns in England, cannot correspotei i.sAl each other without infringing the law. By tiateieg a convention you could easily procure the co-opc ration of each locality. Consult, I pray you, every snicere Reformer of your acquaintance. Let them either this plan of mine, or suggest some other more p-actical one. It is idle to conical, and dishonest to deny, that this scheme aims at overruling or constraining the decisions of tl.e present legally constituted Parlia ment by the force and union of the unrepresented classes, aided by such of the represented classes as see in our ;:resent unjust system the seeds of destruction. That is the avowed object of the proposed, Conventine. It is a means of quietly effecting a greet revolution, and so preventing the coming of a vide . iit revolution. Whether it will succeed or not, e hailer the Legislature will be wise in time, and itself take the lead in doing jus• Lice, we cannot possibly predict, but we hold the publication of such a plan to be an event of great public importance. Mr. O'CONNELL does not however give up the union for this new scheme. He says the Irish " have darling objects of their own which they can neither abandon nor postpone," and it appears that he would use the combination to promote these objects and secure the liberties of England. Mr. O'CONNELL is quite right in saying that therp'are many obstacles to a cordial union of the two people. Their mutual animosity is the root of their adversaries' strength. He is not very far wrong, too, in describing the hostility which exists between the master class and the operative class as a great obstacle to success. Their differences give them as a prey into the hands of the landowners and the priesthood. Amongst the master class, some of whom have contributed quite as much as the Tories to make the Reform Act a failure, there is a great and decided aversion to extend the fran chise. They desire to enjoy by themselves their newly-acquired power. When they see their pro perty going to ruin, when they find the landowners continually turn a deaf ear to their just complaints, when unmitigaixd suffering shall drive men into in surrection, and the master class feel in their persons a share of the numerous privations and evils to which the unrepresented are exposed, they may consent to a full and fair representation of the people, as human beings, not. as accessories to the work of their own hands ; but till then we are afraid that the hostility of the middle classes in England to a fair and equal representation of the Irish, or the working classes of the English, would be insurmountable. We deeply regret this, because we hold it to be impossible for any combi nation or coalition 'O i f parties long to govern this em pire in peace unlese the present Legislature make just administrative lae.s, or admit all classes without a property qualitica . ion to a full and equal share of ‘.he representation. Earl:, and Marquisses, would probably join in the fun. They would not run down a customer, for the starving wretches can buy little or nothing from the farmers. The priests would probably bless both the steeds and their riders ; bless their red coats and their swords, as they went forth to the chase of the "poisoned.heathens." The gentlemen of the Surrey hunt who are eager for a sensation may not approve of our suggestion, but to us it seems quite as moral to hunt down weavers as to kill them by hunger, and the farmers might then be saved the consci entious pangs of nourishing vermin for the amuse ment of the gentry. In the Standard of yesterday appeared an ex tract of a letter from the Duke of WELLINGTON, admirably characteristic of the old soldier. We pub lish it in another part of The Sun amongst our ex. tracts. It requests the Editor of the Standard to name any one person who ever heard him say what the Editor declares to be well-known, viz., " that he (the Duke) had been deceived throughout the whole affair" of the Municipal Corpora tion Bill, or "deceived at all." The Editor of the Standard entrenching himself behind we kn©w not what—respect to the Press, declines to name any sponsor for its statement, and prefers even the reputation of having written falsely to "render- ing his Journal the instrument of destroying con fidence." But when the Standard broadly states a thing to be well-known, it does not imply that it has had any secret information, and this declining to name, appears one of the usual modes by which our Contemporary escapes always from its state ments, after its purpose has been served. .With all deference, such a proceeding appears to us more likely to destroy all confidence, than tib mention the name of any one of the tattling Conservative Peers who have reported falsely of his Grace. The pithy letter of the Duke, as the Standard acknowledges, implies a contradiction to its state ment ; it is anything but courteously, it is rather rudely expressed; but the Standard, generally so pugnacious, so wrangling about its fair fame with its brethren of the press, most spaniel-like submits to the castigation, and kisses the hand which chas tises it. It has, in its timidity or its terror, implicated some " Noblemen," its friends of course, as the authors of the calumny on the Duke, and piteously calls on them to clear up the misunderstanding They will be silent, and thus the care which the Standard takes of the dignity of the press, ends in making it calumniate some more of its own friends. The honest soldier will see through the subter fuges of the Standard, and treat its yesterday's explanation with even more contempt than its first false statement. We must, in conclusion, express our gratitude to the Duke for condescending to correct the libel with which his fame has for some time been sullied by his pretended friends, who stick at nothing, not even at calumniating him, to attain their base party ends. In another part of The Sun we publish a letter on the Bank of England, which comments on a statement of ours made some time ago. We notice the letter here, though otherwise quite will ing to allow it to make its own impression on the public, because the writer is not the only person who appears to have misapprehended the gist of the article, on a portion of which he comn ents. Our object was merely to show that while the capital of the Bank of England has remained stationary, and its circulation has diminished, the great progress of society in numbers and wealth, had made it relatively of much less importance to the commercial worlil and the community at large than it was thirty years ago. We had no intention to discuss the value of its circulation, or the propriety of its amount, still less had we any wish to recommend an issue of 60,000,0001. paper, nor did we so recommend, as a Morning Contemporary has stated. We only implied that it should have 60,000,000/. paper in circulation to be of as much importance to 16,000,000 people, whose wealth has increased even more than the number, as it was to 12,000,000 people, when its circulation was more than 30,000,0001. From that we drew the deduction that the Legislature had most foolishly raised the Bank of England paper at the time when it had be come of comparatively little importance to the character of a legal tender. A circumstance stated at the begining of our article—the, great increase o private paper—was alleged as a satisfactory reason why the Bank of England paper was comparatively little wanted, and we advocated no increase of its amount. The Queen Regent of SPAIN, who is exceed ingly anxious to be regarded by the different State of Europe as a Royal martyr, has been foolish enough to crown a tolerably long career of caprici ous imbecility, by addressing a pla;ntive memorial of her sufferings to the Spanish nation. We can excuse much in the conduct of a w eal - , vain woman so little conversant with what appertains to the sphere of regal duties as Queen CHRISTINA ; but we cannot to lerate with unruffled tamper an insidious attempt to cast another faggot upon the gradually-expiring flames of civil discord in Spain. The ex- Regent, through the mouth of some apos tolic monk, is made to parade her many vir tues as a Queen, a wife, and a mother, during the last days of FERDINAND, and her subsequent de votion to the Charter and the Constitution ; but a regard for public decency should have prevented the wife of MuNoz from recalling the death-bed of FERDINAND ; and before taking to herself the whole credit of giving a Constitution to Spain, it would not have been out of place, as it is not quite out of popular remembrance, to recal Sergeant GARCIA'S part in that affair, and to enumerate the rewaids which she bestowed upon him, for having prompted her, with the point of his halbert, to bestow such a blessing upon her MAJESTY'S dear Spaniards I Her MAJESTY would further persuade the Spanish nation, that in refusing to abandon the Corporations Bill, she only evinced her profound regard for the - opinion of the Cortes ; but her MAJESTY takes good care not to inti..riate that the Cortes, who passed that Bill, did not re present Spain ; and, furthermore, that the main object of the Bill was virtually to abolish that Con stitution, which she boasts having sworn to main ain, and for which she professes such ,a deep reverence. In replying to this second manifesto of Queen CHRISTINA, the Regency has observed a dignified forbearance, which cannot be expected from the Liberal press of Europe- If the Regency has chosen not to blazon forth the faults of the woman, and the errors of the sovereign, it is not the duty of the press to treat a political incendiary, of whatever sex or station, with equal courtesy. Queen CHRISTINA, by her not very creditable 'nuptials with MUNOZ, of whom the world has heard so much, renounced the guardianship of the children of FERDINAND, and so stained the royal purple, that the Sp a nish people lost all their accustomed reverence for it. For the present w e care not to revive the recollections of the system Of royal bribery resorted to by the loan contractors in 1831 and 1836, because Queen CHRISTINA being now the guest of the King of the FRENCH, it is likely that that sagacious Monarch will impress \ upon her the necessity of making no further pa rade of her pretended wrongs. Queen CHRIsTINA has bidden an eternal farewel l t o sovereignty in f ( ii ) LI:L LONDON : THIJRSDAY,, NOVEMBER 26, 1840.

Spain, and if she consult what her glory," she will learn to forget the ra i, :nal, so far as she can, make the world forget it ten. The throne of her august daughter will suffer nothing from any lack of her endeavours to support it. The capture of St. Jean d'Acre and the proposed Address of the Deputies, in answer to the Speech from the throne, occupy exclusively the editorial columns of the Paris papers of Tuesday. We have given, in another part of The Sun, the opinions of the journals upon the proposed Address, which it appears, does not meet with the entire approba tion of any party. The debate Upon it was fixed for Wednesday, when it was expected that various amendments upon it would be carried. But But though it may be rendered a little more war like, or to speak more properly, blustering in its tone, we have no longer a fear that any language will be employed which can compromise the peace of the two countries. Even the war party will be content with swaggering about the dignity of France, which no person calls in question, and with giving expression to menaces as foolish and as undignified as they are unnecessary to the recogni tion by Europe of French irresistibility in arms. THE INUNDATIONS.--The southern papers, the Sema phore de Marseilles in particular, continue to present a frightful picture of the ravages and disasters occasioned by the inundations. During several days the rain fell in tor rents in the mountains adjoining Grenoble, and the burn ing southern and south- west winds, which prevailed during three weeks in the Upper Alps, had melted immense ma!ses of snow, and caused the rivers to overflow a second time. So intense was the heat in the country of Gex, that the soldiers shut up in the fort of the Ecluse would have been suffocated, if allowed to remain in it any longer. At Aigues Mortes one hundred and sixty custom officers, stationed here and there through the country, had been surprised by the waters, and obliged to take refuge on the tops of their houses, where they would have perished but for the courageous and indefatigable ex ertions of M. Gonet, their chief, who, mounted in a boat, saved them all at the risk of his own life. Round Arles the whole country was still under water on the 15th. At Barbautane the united waters of the Rhone and Du rance had ravaged the plain, carrying with them houses, trees, and cattle. The Rhone had in many places broken its dikes, and continued to pour its waters through the apertures it had made in those of Boulbon, Tarascon, and Lauriscct, into the districts of Trebon, Coustieres de CI au, Plan de Bourg, and the Camargue. The Journal de l'Ain of the 20th, states that 455 houses had been com pletely destroyed in the districts of Pont de Veyle and Bage, and 620 in the arrondissement of Trevoux, along the banks of the Saone. The Coto Tier de Lyons an nounces that the floods in that city had diminished. CAPTURE OF ST. JEAN D'ACRE. (From the Journal des Debats.) _ _ _ " The despatch which announces the taking of St. Jean d'Acre by the A.iies does not inform us whether it was by capitulation, treason, or a resort to force that that place fell into their hands. That fresh reverse is a very serious affair for the Viceroy. Morally, the taking of that town, which had stood out against Napoleon, will exercise great influence in the country, and it materially deprives Ibra him Pacha of his most precious resources, for he had made that town a place of arms, a depot for provisions and ammunition, and for the materiel of his army. Pending the fresh letters which will inform us how the Allies obtained that important success, we shall only observe that the news has reached us by an indirect channel, on the verbal com munication of the Captain of the British steamer Fheenix. It is therefore possible that the advices that we may receive from the Levant by the mail-packet Eurotas will contain nothing on that score. Letters f-orn Alexandria and Con stantinople, which have been brought by that packet, are dated on the 6th and 7th of this month, at the latest, whilst it is possible that the Phoanix, strictly speaking, may have left St. Jean d'Acre, or the coast of Syriaat the said dates, if not even later. In short, why did the Eurotas, which is one of the ten mail-packets for the Levant mails, and whose usual station is at Marseilles, put into Toulon, from whence the despatch is dated? We are still with out direct news from Ibrahim Pacha and his army, that is to say, deprived of every means of understanding how it is that, from no part yet, in all the engagements be tween his troops and those of the Allies, he only opposed to the latter (save at Saida) but bodies of from 1,200 to 1,500 men at the outside—how it is that in each of those engagements he was always unprovided with artil lery Allies ; fo r have i t may be obtainedsai d w i with their the success strictest upcortre the ectn presentess,tbat the time without experiencing the effect of a single cannon shot. Shall we soon have the key to all those mysteries ? (From the Courricr Francais.) This afflicting news completes the di sasters w hi c h h ave befallen the Paca ; it now only remains for him to yield. English gold has done more than their cannon. The ab sence of French forces has paralyzed, moreover, the cou rage of those who relied in the East on our protection. We shall not be the last to suffer from it. The Eastern population must believe us to be quite degenerated, and will no longer recognise us as the conquerors of Egypt. Perhaps one of these days it will be necessary to send upon that coast to revenge some injury received the vessels which might have, and ought to have, protected our allies. This affront is greater than that of the London Treaty, for we have voluntarily accepted it. Let us, then, hide our tricoloured flag ; the abandonment of an a lly is much more disgraceful than a Jost battle. But the Ministry must believe itself saved ; for the success of our enemies dispenses It fur the future from all precaution and energy. (From the National.) A telegraphic dispatch, published by the Ministerial Journals, announces the capture of St. Jean d'Acre. Thus the last rampart between English usurpation and Egypt no longer exists. Commodore Napier's pounds sterling have opened those gates against which the army of Na poleon, victorious at Aboukir and at the Pyramids, could not prevail.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and heard appeal motions. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE- CHANCELLOR heard petitions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the RoLLs sat this day at his Court in the Rolls-yard, Chancery-lane, and after hearing about 90 solicitors sworn in, proceeded with the short causes. SEIMOUR V. BELL. Mr. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the plaintiffs, stated that the bill was filed by Lord George Seymour and Sir George Seymour against a gentleman named Bell, for the specific performance of an agreement for the purchase of Norris Castle, in the Isle of Wight. Lord Henry Sey mour made his will in 1826, and devised his property to the plaintiffs. His Lordship died in 1630, apd, after his death, they put up the property for sale by auction. It was not sold on that occasion, but subsequently an arrange ment was made with the defendant, Mr. Bell, for the pur chase of the estate for 16,0001. An abstract of the title was delivered to Mr. Bell ; he expressed his satisfaction with it, and an agreement was entered into by which he was to be let into possession upon paying down 5,0001., and paying 4 per cent. interest on the remainder of the purchase money. He was accordingly let into possession, and was about completing his contract when, unfortunately for all parties, in passing over in a steam-boat from Portsmouth to Ryde, he heard some idle report that Lord Henry Sey mour was not in a sound state of mind at the time he made his will. In consequence of this Mr. Bell set up an ob jection that he had heard those rumours; that he bad re ceived two anonymous letters, which had been produced, and required proof of the validity of the will, under which which Lord George Seymour claimed. The plain tiffs had proved that there was never a more idle or unfounded pretext. By his will Lord Henry gave legacies to Lord Hertford, his heir-at-law, and other members of his family, but bequeathed the bulk of his property to the two plaintiffs. The Learned Counsel stated that his clients had examined the Solicitors employed to make the will, and every person who could give the least informa tion upon it: and they bad found not only that the will was made after the most mature deliberation, but that the reason why he had made it so favourably to his son, Lord George, and his nephew Sir George, was, that they were not in such affluent circumstances as Lord Elertford. In deed their case had been established in such a way, that he (Mr. P.) believed that if the case were gone into, the Court would order the defendant to pay the whole of the costs of the suit; but, as, if such an argument were gone into, the cause could not be heard as a short cause, and as it was of importance to his clients to have the matter con cluded as speedily as possible, be was content to take the decree without costs. The MASTER of the ROLLS—Then you purchase celerity at the expense of the costs. Mr. PEmnEwroN—Yes, my Lord ; we give up the costs to avoid the delay that would arise in the prosecution of the suit if it was not now heard as a short cause. Mr. KMDERSLEY appeared for the defendant, and stated that Mr. Bell was about completing the purchase when the rumours which had been mentioned reached him. After due consultation with his legal advisers, and considering the purchase as of some magnitude and importance, Mr. Bell tlkubht it right to have a judicial inves tigation of the title of the plaintiffs, even if that investigation should be at his own expense. He (Mr. Kindcrsley) was bound to say there never was a case more completely proved on the part of any plaintiff than the testamentary capacities of Lord Henry had been, and he was therefore perfectly ready to submit to the de cree. Justice had been done, by the other side, to the motives of Mr. Bell, who had not required proof of the validity of the will for the mere sake of delay, but in order that all doubt respecting the title might be removed. It had been agreed between the parties that the cause should be set down as a " short cause," on the understanding that the question of costs should not be gone into. The MASTER of the RoLLs—By that arrangement the parties purchase a speedy decree. Prima facie the plaintiffs would be entitled to costs, but undoubtedly that is a ques tion which would require a great deal of discussion. After disposing of the remainder of the short causes, the Court heard Counsel on the part-heard case of Rad burn Jervis. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ( Sittings at Nisi Prius.) ( Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Cornmou Jury. DOYLE V. WILCOX. This was an action for an assault, alleged to have been committed upon Captain Doyle, the plaintiff, in the hall or Messengers'-room of the Army Pay-office, under the follow. ing circumstances : It appeared upon t the case for the plaintiff, that upon his going, accompanied by two other persons, to the Paymas ter's office, to receive his half-pay, he was met there by his wife, with whom he was at the time upon unhappy terms, when the seized him by the cloak, and after behaving in a very violent manner, fell down in a fit. His two witnesses positively swore that the Captain offered her no violence whatever. He took them with him, in order by their assistance—one of them being known to her as his friend and agent, he might avoid corning into collision with Mrs. Doyle, as he anticipated she would be there to annoy him. When he succeeded in extricating himself from her, and got out into the street, the defendant Wilcox, being a messenger in the office, followed him out seised him by the collar and dragged him back into the hall, and detained him whilst a police-officer was sent for ; to whom he was given into custody upon a charge of assaulting his wile. For the defendant, several persons who were present at the time, messengers and clerks in the Paymaster's-office, stated that the plaintiff shamefully assaulted Mrs. Doyle upon her laying bold of his cloak, and saying " She would not leave him until he gave her money for the support of her children, as hi had turned her into the streets at twelve o'clock at night." The Captain, they said, twisted her arm round until she screamed with pain, and then struck her a violent blow and knocked her down the stairs, at the bottom of which she lay in a state of insensibility. Several persons called out " Shame—do not let him go, until a policeman is sent for." One of the messenger s, by ender of a superior clerk, attempted to stop the who however passed him, and got into the street. Witness followed, and brought him back. The officer was sent for, and one of the clerks (not witness) gave the Captain into custody. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said that the very circumstance of such a disturbance as the wit nesses on both sides had spoken tu, occurring in a public office, was a sufficient cause to send for a constable, who would be justified in detaining the plaintiff until the cause was ascertained. But the defendant was not justified by law in seizing and detaining the plaintiff, though he seemed to have acted from a praiseworthy motive, and in a mis taken opinion that he was acting lawfully. On the plea of justification, therefore, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, in such reasonable compensation as the Jury might consider adequate. The fact that Mr. Doyle first as sailed the plaintiff, and if, as was stated by his witnesses, he did not strike her, the Jury should take that also into their consideration. The Jury, after a few minutes deliberation, found for the plaintiff on the first plea (the general issue). Da mages one farthing. And for the defendant on the second plea, the justification of giving into custody for the assault on Mrs. Doyle. The effect of this verdict, under Lord Denman's Act, is to leave both parties to pay their own costs on the first plea, unless the Jadge certifies for the plaintiff that the as sault was malicious. But the defendant recovers his costs in the second plea against the plaintiff. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY bill he found the marriage breakfast was charged, with bride-cake, ringing bells, &c. He was not astonished that no gentleman was instructed to appear for the defendant. He would prove so much of the bill as would entitle him to the balance he sought to recover. After considerable difficulty, evidence to the necess,ry amount was given, and the Jury found a verdict for the sum claimed. TAYLOR V. CARRUTHERS. This was an action for work and labour done to the amount of 241. ss. 10d. The plaintiff was a carpenter and undertaker, who was employed to do some work for the defendant, who was pro. ceediug to India. The defendant had paid 151. into Court. Witnessi s were called, who proved the work done, and the reasonableness of the charges. Many of the things were ordered by a black servant. Mr. JOHN JEavts, for the defendant, Fut in a bill in the handwriting of the plaintiff, charging to the amount of 3/. 12s. 6d. for the same goods to Mr. Savoy, a gentle man who accompanied the defendant. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 9/. .ss. 10d. ARCITES' COURT-(THES DAY.) PEMBERTON V. PEMBERTON. This was an appeal from a decision of the Consist(); ial Court of London. It appeared that the appellant's wife sued for a separa tion in the Consistorial Court on the ground of cruelty, which was granted, and the present appellant being then in the receipt of 3501. a year, the sum of 1101. annually was allowed as alimony to Mrs. Pemberton Some re duction having taken place in the husband's property, he again applied to the Consistorial Court for a reduction of his wife's allowance, when the Court decided that she should receive only 95l a year. With this decision the appellant was still dissatisfied, and he now appeared in person to appeal and seek a further reduction of the alimony. Sir HERBERT JENNER having minutely recapitulated the details of the case, said, it appeared to him that Mr. Pem berton, notwithstanding every allowance being made, ac cording to his own showing, was still in the receipt of 300/. annually, and although he had the expense of sup porting two children, yet a fair allowance in the ratio of the husband's property should be granted as alimony. He should therefore confirm the decision of the lower Court. CRIMINAL COURT-(TIES DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) THE POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.- William Frost, 30, a Post-office letter-carrier, was indicted for feloniously steal ing a Bank of England note for 40/. and three sovereigns, the property of the Earl of Lichfield, the Postmaster_ general. - The Solicitor. General, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Adol phus conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Phillips appeared for the defendant. The prisoner pleaded Guilty to the charge. Isabella Frost, 26, the wife of the above-named prisoner, was then indicted for feloniously receiving the same note, well knowing it had been stolen. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL addressed the Court, and said that the prisoner was the wife of the last prisoner, who had pleaded guilty, and the Post-office, under these circum stances, did not wish to proceed against her. With the permission of the Court, therefore, he consented to her ac• quittal. Mr. PHILLIPS said that the prisoner ought to be deeply grateful for the lenity shown to her 'ay the Post-office authorities. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL then said that, with regard to the prisoner who bad pleaded guilty, the Past-office left him entirely i>a the hands of the Court, to apportion the punishment. Mr. Baron PARKE said he would look over the deposi tions, and the prisoners were then removed from the bar. William Gifford, 34, was then indicted for feloniously receiving the same note, knowing it to have been stolen. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Adol phus conducted the prosecution. Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the facts of the case, and called the witnesses in support of the charge. Verdict—Guilty. MONEY and COMMERCIAL.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, Nov. 23.—The non-arrival of the courier from Paris, and being ignorant of the prices from daris of Saturday, caused a stagnation in the opera tion of the National Funds, which did not vary; still the prices were firm ; the Actions of the Society of Commerce were better. Ardoin's Spanish remained without varia tion ; the prices were 21 7-16ths, and after the closing the Coupons were done at 16 1-16th. We are happy to state that the general report which prevailed during yesterday of the total loss of the steamer Antwerpen is not true. Letters are in town stating her safe arrival after a passage of 26 hours. She was insured at Lloyd's yesterday at 70 per cent. Much anxiety is experienced this morning in the city respecting the steamer President, and numerous inquiries have been made at the North and South American Coffee house respecting her, owing to the intelligence received from Bristol in the morning journals, stating that a gentle man bad just arrived there from Ilfracombe, saying that a portion of a steamer had been washed ashore, and amongst the fragments was a handsome mahogany door of a state.. room berth, with gilt mouldings, and No. 28 on it, sup posed to belong to the President. It gives us pleasure to state, as a certainty. that the steamer President has not a gilt door on board ; they are all painted in imitation of oak : consequently, it could not be the President steamer which was seen.

(Sittings in Banco.) POOLEY V. PATCH. This was an action brought to recover the va'ue of 186000 bricks supplied to the defendant. Sir F. POLLOCK and Mr. WARREN, who conducted the case for the plaintiff, contented themselves with merely proving the delivery of the bricks upon land belonging to the defendant at New Kingston. Mr. KELLY appeared for the defendant, and said his Learned Friend had presented one of the most meagre cases that had ever been presented to a Jury. He would lay the whole case before them. A new town was rapidly rising at one of the termini of the Southampton Railway, in the neighbourhood of Kingston, where the plaintiff was a large proprietor of land. In the summer of 1839 an at tempt was made to get up a :tontine, for the purpose of building some houses upon that land, but after very con siderable preliminary arrangements, the attempt wholly failed. During the discussion of the matter the plaintiff ordered two houses to be proceeded with, and the de fendant, who was a builder, in company with Mr. Wyatt, having sent in a tender, which was accepted, went upon the land and proceeded with the houses. Mr. Wyatt was asked to Lccome a shareholder, but he said that was not his business, and refused to take any steps in the matter till he got some one person to look to for his money. The plaintiff said the houses might pass as Ton tine houses, but he would become responsible for the works to be done. When he went down he found that the bricks were carted by the plaintiff, and he spoke to him on the matter, when plaintiff said as he was the person who was to pay the money he hoped ho (Mr. Wyatt) would have no objection to take the bricks from him. The work pro ceeded, and was stopped by an order from Mr. Poolcy him. self. He believed that the plaintiff refused to hold himself liable because the defendants in their spe cification headed it, " For the Tontine Society," and in consequence of that slight mistake, after having work done upon the hous3s to the amount of 1,0001, he refuses payment, and actually wanted to get payment of the bricks used upon his own property. It was an unjust proceeding, which he hoped would not be coun tenanced by the Jury. The Learned Gertleman proved his case by the evidence of Mr. Montague and Mr. Garbut, surveyors. The Jury found that the " set off" pleaded by the de fendant was good.—Verdict for the defendant. PATCH V. POOLEY. This was an ac ion fur the . building of the two houses.
