EVENING EDETION? TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letter frorn " Octagon, Plymouth," with the contents, has been received. We cannot insert on anonymous authority, the letter of " A Traveller," respecting the dangerous curves on a particular Railroad. We agree with " Scotus " in his remarks on the late delivery of letters. The mails arrive by six or seven o'clock in the morning, and with proper management, All the letters might be distributed by half-past nine. What i s t h e use o f f orwar di ng l etters at t h e rate o f thirty m il es per hour, if they are not delivered for four hours after the :Arrival of the mail ? Reform in the ffice has only commenced. MAP OF CHINA. A T WAR WITH CHINA—WHERE IS CIIINA ? VERY FEW CAN TELL. Th e Sun Newspaper will soon answer the question by publishing a Beautiful, Large, and Highly Correct MAP of CHINA, with a Complete History of that Extensive Empire, and its Singular People. T HE MAP will nearly occupy a page of The Sun. It is got up under the special Superintendence of the celebrated Mr. JAMES WYLD, Geographer to her MAJESTY the QUEEN. It comprehends 4 80 a large portion of India, from the Mouths of the Ganges—the Islands in the Bay of Bengal— Birmali—Assam— Thibet—Nepaul Cochin C hina —Canton, and the immense Islands and E aYs along the coast of China to PEKIN, situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland f rom the confines of the Yellow Sea. h e next News from China is expected to be ex ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island of CHUSAN, the first point of attack by the E xpedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin, f rom which the Imperial Canal communicates with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan is about half way between Canton and Pekin. him, or to impose any penalty on him : they say a still more severe penalty awaits him. If they were authorised by their own doctrines to scourge or to imprison, that would be a legitimate source of power ; but as they are not, and as an ex press punishment is provided for disbelief, as no power is conferred on the priesthood by the doctrines they teach, all their. Oaims to earthly power and wealth, other than what the hearers voluntarily bestow, or the law gives, are all gross usurpations, and, being preg . nzut with mischief, ought to be resisted. In the doctrines they teach, between which and them we must always remember the distinction, there is no warrant whatever for the power they possess, and the larger power they claim ; and to gain their ends they do not hesitate to sport with some of the most sacred feelings of our nature. We know that they possess great power, which is not derived from teaching certain doctrines— that they admit—but from the law. however disguised, it is wholly secular, though it ex hibits itself in certain mock displays of spiritual appeals. It is to be tested, therefore, like any other secular power, like the metropolitan police, or the newly instituted constabulary, by its worldly and its political effects. In truth, the warmest defenders of the priesthood speak of them as a preventive police. The State does not pay and provide for them with a view to secure the salvation of the people, or even to teach the doctrines on be lieving which that may depend ; but it pays and provides for the priesthood as a means of preserving political obedience. What can statesmen, who unscrupulously, when it suits their purposes, send thousands of men to be knocked on the head, and who cause them to perish in the midst of their sins, care about the salvation of their victims ? The supposition is absurd. Nevertheless, the most belligerent Tory statesmen are, and have been, the warmest supporters of the priesthood, because they subserve secular purposes. The whole power of the priesthood, therefore, is a secular power, created by the law, not conferred by the Gospel. Hence we question it freely ; and shall persist in dealing with the priesthood as we would with the metropolitan police, except that the latter is the more useful of the two. To briefly set before our readers the plain truth, that the priesthood derive their power from the law, not from the Gospel, in opposition to some current attempts to mistify the public, and make them be lieve that the Church—a term conveniently used for the priesthood—is spiritual and eternal, has been our object in these remarks. As a general ques tion, interesting to all classes, we know none of more importance than the extensive claims made and now making by the established priesthood. That enlightened nobleman, the Earl of AIouNT CASHELL, whose extreme Protestant fervour we have often admired in the House of Peers, has taken the field, by a letter published in the Irish Papers, against the Anti-Corn League. We do not anti cipate much evil from his Lordship's attacks. Here is a specimen : Preparations are making to agitate the question again in Parliament ; large sums arc subscribed to prosecute the warfare ; lecturers arc engaged to bias public judg ment, and noting is left undone to ruin the farmer. It is time then that Ireland should take a part in this con test. Let us remember she is an agricultural, and not a manufacturing country, that her income depends chiefly on the produce of her soil, and that in proportion as;_thts is reduced in value, in like proportion will she be come more impoverished. If we consume the goods of British manufacturers, is it not just that they should pay a fair price in return for our corn, But they require our produce for less than we can grow it, and they wish to ruin us, and to favour foreign countries. We suppose the Illustrious Earl does not re quire to be informed that there are two species of value—value in use, and value in exchan g e. W b e may put the former out of view, for even the EARL of iNIOUNTCASHELL will not have the hardihood or the obtuseness to affirm that the utility of the crops grown in Ireland will be lessened by a smaller share of them going into the clutches of the land owners. The latter value is the one he means, as he afterwards distinctly shows by asserting that the manufacturers ought to pay a " fair price" for the corn of Ireland. What is a fair price ? That which the two parties to the great business of buying and selling mutually and un constrainedly agree on. This price the manu facturers are ready to give. They will give what the corn is worth in the market. " That will not content us," say the law-making Earl, and his law-making colleagues ; " we must have more than that ; we must have all we can extort, by pre. venting you, by law, from bringing corn from New York or Dantzic, and by making you buy exclu sively our corn." The unfair dealer then—he who exacts an unfair price, he who diminishes the value in exchange of manufactures, and enhances the value in exchange of corn, without enhancing the value in nse of either, by which the value of both in exchange are naturally and justly de termined—is the landowner, who actually practices that unfairness he accuses the manufacturer of wishing to practice. He is condemned by his own remark. The landlords require the produce of the manufacturer for less than they can make it, and for less than they can sell it to others ; they try to ruin the manufacturers, and to starve the people. To be opposed by the Irish landlords, must re commend the cause of the League to the people of England. We know no class of men snore de se►vedly discredited and dishonoured than the land lords of the lumper-starved peasantry of Ireland. Reckless, extravagant, profligate, the condition of the people must make all reasonable beings support a cause which meets with opposition from them. Ireland, too, is an agricultural country, and in that condition, therefore,, to which our landlords and our clergy wish to carry back the people of England. The bulk of its population are agricul turists, virtuous tillers of the soil, with little to eat, and less to clothe them, the prey of want and distress, the very humblest servants of the Itomish priesthood ; and altogether in a condition, however gratifying to Lord MOUNTCASHEL L, the very reverse of that which all intelligent people would be happy to see. After the wretched Africans, who are sold off into slavery, we know of no large population in a worse condition than the agriculturalists of Ireland. They I I are a perpetual beacon to the English not to follow the councils and the practices of the landlords of Ireland, and carefully to eschew whatever they re commend. We have received with the French Journals of Tuesday the address of the Committee of the Chamber of Peers, in answer to the speech from the throne, which will be found in another column. There is nothing in this document to occasion any alarm as to the maintenance of European tranquil lity, although the following paragraph, relative to the Quadruple Treaty has been alluded to as indi cating the sympathy of the Committee with the war party : " The treaty concluded between the Emperor of .Austria, the Queen of Great Britain, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and the Ottoman Porte, in order to regulate the relations of the Sul. tan and the Paella of Egypt, and the acts which have followed it, have caused your Majesty to resolve upon adopting measures which would allow France to observe, with entire freedom of action, the course of events in the East. Sire, the policy of your Government, during ten years, has materially assisted in preserving humanity from those conflagrations which suspend the progress of civilisa tion, and cause nations to endure the fatal consequences for a length of time; but th e dignity of a nation is its life itself, and we know how d ear the dignity of France is to the heart of her King. Frenchmen would rise up at your voi ce , and would be ready to make any sacrifice rather than consent to the humiliation of their country. At all events, we hope that a just and disinterested policy will prevail in ORDERS FOR 'ilE CHINA SUN " - May be given to all News-agents, or sent direct to ti le Su n Office, 112, Strand, London, where P r ompt attention will be paid to each communi cation in the order it is received, and the Paper (itt lY forwarded.

LONDON: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1840. At the present day the influence and power pos 4ssed by the priesthood is a source of great and c ontinual mischief, while their vast claims are pre ph4ling great future calamities.

In this claim one circumstance seems to us very generally overlooked. The doctrines they teach Were not given them as a heritage or a property ; they were generously and equally bestowed on who ever can comprehend them. The priesthood aim t° monopolise them, and on that monopoly to erect th eir own wordly dominion. They assert, therefore, v 4t. mankind can have no share in the advantages t - i ; t hese d octr i nes un l ess it b e r ece iv e d thr o u g h They contend that baptism, unless it be i l , lf° ?med by them, is not valid, and none but they k e competent t o a d m i n i s t er th e sacrament.

We believe the real fat to be that the Chamber of Peers, which does not overabound in that popu larity which is essential to the props: i• exercise of its high functions, regt.',TlS the present as an excel lent opportunity of appearing to place itself in har mony with the national sentiments on the Eastern question. The Peers wish the people to believe that they are as ready for an European row as the veriest sans culotte in the most miserable purlieu in Paris ; while at the same time they delicately hint that times arc changed since the breaking out of the first revolution, and that people no longer fight without something like a decent cause for fighting. The mischief of this is that the Deputies will be constrained to be more warlike than the Peers, and thus fuel may be cast upon the embers of a fire happily in the progress of rapid extinction The Peers begin by trimming the lamp of internationa discord, and the Deputies, who arc expected on al; occasions to outbid them for popularity, will be likely in:self-defence to bring a fresh supply of oil. But we apprehend no serious danger from these wordy bursts of legislative patriotism. The Journal des b ebats of Tuesday has a long and clever article on Lord PALMERSTON'S Note of the 2d of November, the concluding half of which is less pacific in its tone than anything which appeared for the last month in the pages of that highly influential Paper. As the appearance of that article caused a decline in the Funds on Tuesday, we shall quote the latter half of it as well worthy the serious attention of the Government and people of this country The French Government has marked out in the notelof the Bth of October the limits beyond which it would make no concession. 'We are satisfied that it maintains that de.. claration. The note of the Bth of October made all the concessions in Syria which France could make, in order to have no longer any to make in Syria. What matters, we ask, in presence of that declaration, for a thesis of public right more or less supported by the British Chancery as to the power which the Sultan has of deposing Pachas, that he is not satisfied with. We well know that that way, a very simple one assuredly, ! of considering the question does not suit the journals of the Ist of March. That disarranges their piece. They have assumed to themselves, for the greatest convenience of polemics, two abstract prototypes, the one a warlike and em boldened Ministry,which defies Europe and sings the " Mar seillaise ;" the other, a timid and circumspect Ministry which wishes for peace at any price, and whose heart does not possess one drop of French blood. The emboldened and haughty Ministry is the Ministry of the Ist of March ; but, unfortunately, it happens that is the emboldened and haughty Ministry that has recoiled from all Syria, and deli vered up that country to the chances of war. What would happen now if the timid and circumspect Ministry were firmly and resolutely to maintain the reserve made for Egypt ? All the characters of the piece would be re versed; it would be the brave that would yield, the timid that would resist 1 In order that the piece may be per formed according to the whim of its authors, Egypt must be abandoned by the Ministry of the 29th of October. That will cause Syria, which was abandoned by the Ministry of the list of March, to be forgotten. It is convenient, assuredly, to suppose that the Consti. tutional party wishes forpeace at any price; but the Con stitutional party is in the habit of replying by facts to the slanderous prophecies of its adversaries. That is what it will do again now. No, it will not abandon Egypt; no, it will not recoil beyond the concessions of the Bth of Oc tober ; and why should it be, therefore, in such a hurry to make peace now ? Who is hurrying it ? It has no longer to fear the danger which frighted, and reason ably so, three weeks ago, the danger of a Revolu tionary war. The war now would be carried on by a regular Government, and not by an insurrection and a Committee of Public Safety. That is now a great point gained for the safety of society, for the success of a war. The great wrong, in short of the Ministry of the Ist of March is, that it considered, or appeared to have considered, war as a revolutionary war rather than a poli tical one. The reproach has been made to it by one of the most impartial men of the Chamber—by M. Dubois (of Loire Inferieure)—in the discussion in the bureaux. Instead of thinking of war in Syria, it seemed to think of war in Europe. It is in consequence of that false political view that it withdrew the fleet from Syria and Egypt, to the great mortification of Mehemet Ali, in order to shut it up in the Gulf of Salaminc ; it is with that false political view that it did not refuse to favour a sort of revolutionary agitation. Now the danger of revolutionary war is passed, and war, if it were to take place, would again become a political one ; therefore there is nothing which hur ries us to make peace at home at any price. Abroad there is nothing either which ought to in spire us with hasty imprudence. The greatest evil is done ; winter is near at band. The first hour, which for the one that acts is nearly always favourable, is over ; we are nearly at the second. The difficulties and embarrassments of the Treaty of the 15th July have not yet manifested themselves, for Mehemet Ali's resist ance was the least of those embarrassments. The greatest embarrassments of the Treaty are those which must arise from the new relations established between the Powers whose signatures:are appended to the Treaty, and those very embarrassments will be developed by degrees. If we were in a hurry to make peace at any price, we should lose the benefit of the compensation which we must derive from the creation of those difficulties. It must even be said that the finest chance of success of the Treaty of the 15th July is, that it be a coup de main, as it were ; that its ef fects be rapid and brief; that its weak side may have no time to be seen. Let us not be in a hurry, therefore ; both at home and abroad we can wait. For the last three months, thanks to the bad policy of the Ist of March, all the embarrassments are for us. If we know how to wait, the turn for the Allies must come. The Fr,nch Government and the constitutional party have one simple thing, but somewhat difficult though, to do ; it is to cause matters to resume the state in which they were on the Ist of August, 1840, at the time the treaty was known, before the Ministry of the Ist of March spoiled our situation. At that period it was necessary to assume an isolated though firm attitude, not an irritating and threatening one. That attitude we may still assume. At that period it was necessary to arm, and, we like to say it in honour of the tat of March, it armed ; let us retain these armaments and be ready to increase them, if requisite, as it is expressed in the Speech of the Crown. At that period it was necessary to consult the Chambers; the Chambers are now assembled. At that pe riod, in short, it would have been necessary, perhaps, to have decided privately, or in a public declaration, what was to be given up and what was to be retained. Those two points have been marked out in the note of the Bth of Oc. tober. We must strenuously abide by them. The honour and safety of the country depend upon the manner in which the Government and the Chambers will know how to say to Europe—the three months which bare just elapsed arc a dead letter with respect to the bombast of the journals, and the agitation in public places—they only reckon for the armaments which are made and which we maintain, and for the declaration of the Bth of October, which we continue to put forth as our ultimatum. Now, as Lord PALMERSTON has no intention of depriving MEHEMET Am of Egypt, would it not be better for the Government at once frankly to state to that of France, that the Four Powers would yield no assistance to the SULTAN in en forcing the dechcance ? Is it just or prudent to withhold from M. GUIZOT the moral support which such a declaration would give him in the Chambers ? We all know the independence of the Porte to be a mere farce, and that the SULTAN dare not oppose the will of the Allies. But if the truth cannot be thus plainly stated in strict accordance with diplomatic usages, Lord PALMERSTON has had time enough to obtain from the Porte, in answer to the humble prayer of the Great Powers, an assurance that no effort shall be made to expel the PACHA from the government of Egypt. As France will be satisfied with the Allies' disposal of Syria, and as nothing more is sought by England, in the name of peace and good neighbourhood why is not France now told that there is really no difference between us ? Why not tell France, " You consent to the restoration of the Tutkish fleet and of Syria to the Porte : we ask nothing more. If MEHEMET ALI refuse Syria and the fleet, we shall take both ; but we shall take nothing else, provided he does not make war upon us or upon our ally and his Master the SULTAN." There is nothing like plain dealing between great and enlightened nations, and when by a simple statement of honest intentions, a war may be averted, it is a crime of fearful magnitude to withhold it under any pretence whatsoever. The Courrier Francais, in noticing the circulation of ramours as to the extraordinary expenditure of the late Ministry, says : 7 "The ;Ministry o f t h e I st o f March has expended 200 millions beyond the credits voted by the Chambers, viz., 150 millions for an armament of 483,000 men, for a materiel which would suffic e for 900,000, and for the purchase of 50,000 horses; to which we must a d d 50 millions destined to the augmentation of ou r nava l ar. moments, for the most urgem repairs of our fortresses, to complete the fortifications of L . yons and co mmence those of Paris. The fortifications of Paris alone are included in these credits to the amount of 18 millions. This is the whole truth. Everything that may . be asse r t e d b eyond this will not bear discussion, and will meet with the most positive contradiction."

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, Nov, 16.—The market for National Funds lias been stationary to-day, and the prices in general have not varied. The Actions of the Society of Commerce, owing to the liquidation this day has caused some business. Some purchases caused the Funds to get up to 1631 to 1641, but the rate of continuation for the next liquidation was 4, 1 per cent. to 1 and 11. Ardoin's Spanish having got up at London, Paris, and Antwerp, caused a good deal of business in that stock, and the price rose to 22k, but some sales took place which caused them to turn heavy. Deferred and Passive was in demand. After the closing of the Bourse, Ardoin's was done t , t1121, Coupons 16i The Bank of Belgium discounted in 1839 twenty-six millions ; in this year the Bank discounted from three to four millions per month, and it had on the first of the month 900 bills to receive, all of which had been duly honoured. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) iiEDoustsGrox V. GRANT. Thy L6kri CiiANciLiou gave judgment itt this case, Which was argued before the long vacation. It was an ap peal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, which his Lordship reversed. The facts of the case were altogether uninteresting the single question being whether the Mast, r, to whose report exceptions had been taken, had in taking the accounts, properly computed interest. 113130TSON V. 111BOTSON. Ills LORDSHIP aka gave judgment in this case, which was argued some months ago, which came before him upon en appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chancellor.—The ar peal was dismissed with costs. BOLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY ) The Court took motions. HOPE V. 110 FE-A RICH UNCLE. The plaintiff in this case was John Hope, and the defen dants Henry Thomas Hope (the Member for Gloucester), Alexander Beresford Hope, and Abraham Hope. The three defendants were the executors of Philip Hope, their uncle, who by his will gave the residue of his estate equally among his three nephews. He afterwards made a codicil, by which he gave specific and pecuniary legacies to an enormous amount, and by other testamentary papers disposed of considerable property in Holland. At his death his will was proved by his executors,:when a ques tion of some nicety arose. It appeared that in his life time he was possessed of a casket of jewels of the value of upwards of 100,000/., one diamond alone being worth 40,0001. ; and it was alleged that he bad in his lifet'me made and executed a deed of gift in favour of his younger nephew Alexander Beresford Hope, of this casket with its contents, the instrument remaining in his possession at the time of his death. A question, there fore, arose, whether the gift took effect, or whether the jewels did not remain the property of the testator up to (he time of his death, and passed under his will: Mr. PEMBERTON moved for a reference to the Master, to take an account of the debts and legacies, to inquire whether any part of the testator's personal estates now remained outstanding, and to state the particulars thereof, and to ascertain and state the clear residue of the estate. The assets of the testator were immense, and not tho least question was raised os to their sufficiency to pay all the debts and legacies ; but these inquiries were necessary previous to the hearing of the cause. Counsel appeared for other parties, and consented to an order with the terms asked by the notice of motion, which was accordingly made, There was nothing hostile in the suit. TUBB V. BIGGS. The praintiff in this case was a cowkccper, carrying on business in the New-road, and the defendant a cattle dealer in Leicestershire. The parties had been con nected in business since 1834, and the course of dealing between them appeared to be as follows :—The plaintin was in the habit of purchasing cattle from the defendant, and no payment was ever made on account of each purchase; but an account current was kept be tween the parties, and bills of exchange were from time to time accepted by the plaintiff on account of the balances which from time to time were represented by the defendant to be due. In the course of the.dealings that took place between them, from 1834 to 1840, certain bills became dishonoured, and in the year 1835 a mortgage was executed by the plaintiff to the defendant of leasehold property belonging to him, and in which he carried on his business, to secure the plaintiff the sum of 500/. In 1836 another mortgage was executed by him to the defendant to secure a further sum of 10,00/. The plaintiff stated that be was ignorant of accounts, and that he trusted entirely to the defendant; and that the amount of the bills of ex change was frequently paid into the hands of the defend ant's bankers without the bills being given up. Biggs having brought au action to recover the amount of what he alleged to be balances duo to him upon the accounts, Tubb filed a bill in equity, stating that the rights between them could not be properly ascertained at law, and praying for the common injunction to stay pro ceedings, and to have an account taken of the dealings and transactions between them.--The injunction was granted. Mr. Kiodersley (with whom was Mr. Elmslev) now moved to dissolve the injunction, and Mr. Pemberton, with Mr. Russell, showed cause against it. The case was not concluded when we went to press. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. TILE CORPORATION OF NEWCASTLE-- MANDAMUS. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT applied for a rule calling upon the Corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyn e to show cause why a mandamus should not issue commanding them to empanel a Jury at the next Court of Quarter Sessions, to assess the damages due from them to Messrs. Double day and Co., as compensation for damages done by the Corporation to the quay of Messrs. Doubleday by build ing a quay in the bed of the river outside the quay of Messrs. Doubleday, which had sustained damage thereby. Mr. Justice PATTESON granted a rule nisi. INDICTMENT. . James Oakley was brought up to plead to an indictment charging him with throwing great quantities of mud and rubbish into th© Thames. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was removed in custody. THE QUERN V. THE INHABITANTS OF WATFORD. Mr. V. WILLIANIS moved for a rule to show cause why the certiorari issued to remove the above case into the Court of Queen's Bench should not be quashed, on the ground of the insufficiency of the notice. The Learned Counsel went into a lengthened argument, and quoted several cases in support of his application. Mr. Justice PATTLEON.—YOU may take a rule nisi. THE QUEEN V. J. T. BUTCHER. Mr. CLARKSON said that in this case there was an in. dictment charging the defendant with obtaining money under false pretences; and the motion he was instructed t 3 make was to remove the indictment by certiorari into this Court, an application, which, on looking into the sta tute, be was afraid the Court had not the power to part. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, that on referring to tho Act, it was clear that cases of indictment for obtaining money nnder false pretences could not be removed by cer tiorari.—Application refused. ITIGHAM V.:JESSOP. In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon the defendant to show cause why the award of an umpire should not be set aside. Sir W. FOLLETT and Mr. ADDISON having showed cause against the rule, and Mr. tRESSWELL and Mr. HocaiNs having been heard in support of it. Mr. Justice PATTESON directed that the rule should be discharged with costs. THE QUEEN V. THE REV. J. KENDAL-MANDAMUS. Sir \V. FOLLETT moved for a rule, calling on the Rev. .1. Kendal, the master of the Earl of Leicester's Hospital at Warwick, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding him to affix the common seal of that Corporation to the presentation of the Rev. Mr. Morris to the vicarage of Arden and Nutsford. It appeared that the hospital in question consisted of a Master and Brethren, and had been founded by the Earl of Leicester in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and that the living in question was in the gift of the Hospital. The late incumbent died on the 28th of August last, and on the 2d of October a meeting of the Brethren had been held for the purpose of presenting the living. Mr. Kendall attended with a gentleman who was a candidate, and whom he wished should be presented to the living. The Brethren were called on regularly to vote; the majority voted in favour of Mr. Morris. Mr. Kendal, however, refused to affix the common seal to the presentation, contending that he, as the Master, had a veto on the appointment, for which claim the affidavits state there was not the least foundation. Mr. Justice PATTESON—You may take a rule to show Cali Se. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sitting 3 in 13anco.) RICH'S V. WILSON. The adjourned argument in this case, of which the par ticulars have already been given, was resumed this morn ing at the sitting of the Court. After M. Knowles and Mr. Crowther had been beard, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said—There are facts in this case, which, as they have been stated here for the de fendant, give us cause to think that it ought to go before another Jury. At the same time, we have no doubt that the former Jury came to a wrong conclusion upon the evi dence. If you like to take a rule, on payment of coats, Mr. Crowther, you may do so. Mr. Justice MAULE—But we are not quite sure, Mr, Crowther, that the defendant will get a verdict now. Mr. KNowtEs applied to the Court to order the de fendant to give early notice of trial. Mr. CROWTHER—I do not know what course my client may take ; if it be necessary to give evidence for the defendant. I did not think it necessary, nor do I really know wby a rule for a new trial is made. In my view of the case we arc entitled to a nonsuit. The CHIEF JUSTICE (to Mr. Knowles) —We will not interfere. Let the matter take its course. Perhaps they will not take their rule at all ; but if they do, you can try it next term. SHENK V. TAPIIERS. In this ease, which was an action for goods sold and de livered, the statute of limitation was pleaded, and a letter addressed in 1835, by the defendant to " Hoffman and Shenk," was put in as taking the case out of the statute. A rule nisi to set aside the verdict was obtained this term by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, on the ground that the Secon dary before whom the trial was, improperly allowed a point to go to the jury as a matter of fact, which he ought to have ruled himself as a point of law. Mr. Sergeant GounnuaN this day showed cause against the rule. The rule for a new trial was made absolute. RICIIARDSON V. PETO. Mr. Sergeant SIIEA applied for a rule to set aside the judgment which was obtained in this case, contrary to an understanding come to between the Counsel on both sides, that it should not be applied for without notice. Rule nisi granted. PINKER V. TOMLINSON. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE showed cause against the rule obtained in this term by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for a nonsuit. The action was for goods bargained and sold. Out of a large quantity of cheeses sold by the defendant, only four were delivered. The action was brought for the price of the remainder, which the defendant refused to take, the plaintiff having in the first instance refused to complete the delivery until he was paid for the four delivered on the day of sale. The defence was that the case came within the statute of frauds, as there was no writing or note of sale. For the plaintiff the entry in the books by his clerk was proved to take the case out of the statute. In granting the rule the Court observed that their Lordships would take care the plaintiff should have but nominal damages. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE now showed cause against the rule, which was discharged, the Court ordering a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages I s. TIIE FUNDS. left off i ; Deferred 1 1 die.

(Sittings in Banco.) TII/1 DUKE OF CORNWALL DARBOUR AND LAUNCEST3N AND vICTCRiA RAILWAY COMPANY V. ROSS. In the early part of the terra a rule nisi was obtained by Mr. Timesiger to stay proceedings in this eas.; rn the ground of want of authority on the part of the attorney for the plaintiff. Cause was shown against the rule by Sir F. Pollock, and it appeared that the above Company was formed and 1 Directors appointed; but the gentlemen so appointed to the direction kept too many of the shares among them selves. The scheme lost favour with the public, and con sequently failed. The action was brought for the amount of two calls made by the Directors upon the shares subscribed for by the defendant. The Learned Gentleman contended that the Directors had power under the Act incorporating the Company to make the calls, but even admitting, for the sake of the argument, that they had not, he confidently put it to the Court that the defendant had come too late. The action was commenced in June, and the attorney was instructed by the Directors to sue the defendant and others, and in the affidavit of the Directors they stated that they had authority to give such instructions by a general meeting of the Siareholders. The defendant was aware of the present objection when the action was commenced—and if not, his own affidavit showed that he was perfectly aware of it on the first day of Term; and it was the universal rule that such an objection must he taken at the earliest opportunity. Mr. TIIESIGER, in support of the rule, said that no delay in the application could prevail against the express provi sions of an Act of the Legislature. The Act of Parlia ment constituting the Company said that a call having been made by the Directors, no person should either vote or act in the Company until that call had been paid. At the meeting at which it was alleged the solicit or wasin structed, none of the proprietors present had paid the call, nor had many of the Directors. They therefore had no power to do any act ; therefore the instructions given by such a meeting were invalid. . The Coua thought the rule must be discharged, on the ground that the application came too late. It was not necessary to decide the point as to the power of the parties who gave the instructions—it was the duty of any defend ant to make such an application at the earliest possible period after the fact came to his knowlege.—Rule dis charged with costs. CHUCK V. HARRIS. Mr. PLATT appeared to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Erie, to set aside a rule for a Special Jury, and why the trial should not be had on Wednesday (yesterday).—( A laugh.) lie did not know whether it was worth occupying the time of the Court. Mr. ERLE was only anxious that the trial should not be postponed. The defendant had had 1,8001. worth of their malt, and they had not yet got 18 farthings. They were only anxious for expedition. Mr. PLATT—His client was only anxious to have the trial before a Special Jury. He cared not when the trial wai had. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Have you any objection to change the venue, and summon a Jury before me in London the day after to-morrow. Mr. PLATT—Certainly ; we have a reduced Middlesex Jary already. The COURT ordered that the cause should stand first in the list for the first day of sittings after Term, to be tried by a Special Jury if the defendant bad one in attendance —if not, to be tried by a common jury. NEW TRIAL PAPER.-LANDER V. GORDON. nis was an action upon a promissory note for 501., which was tried before 11r. Baron Gurney, at the late Assizes for the county of Sussex, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff.'''Early in the term, Mr. Platt had obtained a rule nisi, to set aside the verdict and for a new trial, cause against which was shown by Mr. Thesiger. The evidence at the trial, given by a person named Bur ton, was that the defendant owed him money. He applied for it, and offered to take a bill if it was not convenient for him to pay cash. He said he did not like his name to appear, but his wife would sign one for him for 50/., and it would be duly honoured when it be came due. Mrs. Gordon did sign a promissory note, which was disavowed by the defendant and formed the sub ject of action. There were imputations of perjury on each side. The COURT ordered a new trial,on payment of costs. The venue to be changed to Middlesex, and the trial to be had in the sittings after Hilary term. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. The operations in produce were on a small scale by private treaty, both for home use and export. The pub lic sales were trivial, and prices still on the decline. The arrivals were to a small extent from most parts but many ships are near at hand. TEA MARKET. For Free Trade Tea the demand was dull, and former rates were not supported at the public sales of 17,000 packages. Company's Congou flat at 2s. 31d. cash. TALLOW MARKET. Prices of Russian Tallow were not lower, but the de mand was very limited, both on the spot and to arrive. Town Tallow dull of sale, and prices on the decline. HAY-MARKET. The supply was to a moderate extent, and the demand very dull at the following rates:—Clover Hay, 31. 10s. to 5/. 12e. ; Meadow, 31. to 41. 10s. ; and Straw, 11. 6s. to 11. 10s. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

TILE WEATIIER.—About eight o'clock on Sunday night a very unfavourable change in the weather took place. Rain came down in torrents, accompanied occasionally by a very strong gale of wind. During yesterday, and until twelve o'clock last night, the storm continued ; from sit o'clock until midnight the wind came in tremendous gusts, chiefly from the west. Notwithstanding the severity of the storm, we had heard of no very material injury inland; but we much fear that serious casualties have occurred on the western coast. Weer or ATTACHMENT. —The Court of Exchequer yes terday decided that the writ of attachment for non-appear ance to the law subpoena should issue, as heretofore, not. withstanding the recent Act abolishing arrest for debt on mesne process, the attachment being purely a process for contempt. ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. At the usual weekly meeting of the Association, an address to the English, moved by Mr. O'Connell, was adopted after some discussion, in the course of which, Mr. REYNOLDS said they would not advance their cause by involving the Liberal portion of the English Press into a discussion with their body. They should recollect the services of the Morning Chronicle, The Sun, and other Liberal English papers in their favour whenever they re quired their service, and be trusted the people of Ireland would not be found unmindful of former service, especially of the determined, bold, and manful manner in which they grappled with Lord Stanley's Bill when it was attempted to be thrown over on the people of Ireland.—( Hear.) He acknowledged that the English Newspapers were opposed to them on some very great and important ques. tiions ; but he thought that was not sufficient to make them denounce them altogether, and he would add, that if they were to denounce the E n gl i sh press in so com plete a manner, it would very probably raise a feeling against the Irish people which would be still worse than before. _ _ _ _ Mr. O'CONNELL doubted the extent of the debt of gra titude due by them:to the English press ; but there was no sweeping censure against them, as it was only on one ques tion that they complained against them. He was, however, yet to learn that any services, no matter what they might be en other subjects, could justify the English press for all the lying, the misrepresentation, the buffoonery, the calumny, the attacks on females, of which they had been guilty on the Repeal question. They had a tyrant's power, and they used it like a tyrant; or they first made use of calum nies, and then refused to insert a refutation of them. TEMPERANCE.—THIRD VISIT OF FATHER MATIIEW TO TILE METROPOLIS.—At an early hour yesterday the rear of the Custom-house was thronged by thousands of persons anxious to avail themselves of the visit of the Apostle of Temperance, who, it was announced would attend at that place for the purpose of administering the pledge. During the day many ladies , toge ther with considerable numbers of gentlemen, took the pledge. One lady in particular, of the highest class in society, pledged herself to total ab stinence, declaring that when she came there she had no notion of so doing, hut that she saw and knew the happy re sults of it, and could not overcome the impallse she felt to take the pledge ; her example was followed by many others. Lord Morpeth also was present, and remained upwards of an hour on the platform; he seemed to take a lively interest in the animating scene before him, and spoke with the greatest affability to all around him. Every uric seemed charmed with his Lordship's kindness ; and wh en of e Catholic his name was mentioned by Mr. Mathew, the vast were er present f multi tude gave three loud and dea f e ni ng cheers for hi m, Which e also number acknowledged by his Lordship.

Soon after the storm had abated a boat was found, bot tom upwards, in the river, near Greenwich, and under one of the thwarts was a boy, named ' , Halfp.ony, an apprentiem to a waterman, named Oriffitbs, of Greenwich. He sp... peared to have been dead several hours. ft appears that he left Bugsby's Hole for Greenwich in the boat, which it is supposed was overturned by a squall of wind. Yesterday morning at one o'clock a ship's boat man picked up by a Thames police constable named Yco-- man, in Limehouse Reach. Tile boat wa±. , broken to pieces, and her stem and keel gone. It is feared that some persons have perished in her. A schotx er or billy boy, called the Eliza, deeply laden willa stone, coming up R the river, met with a brig driving up with her anchor over the bow, the fluke of which pricked the schooner, and made a hole in her. Two puns on board were immediately got to work, but she would have inevitably gone down but for the msistance of William Judd, a Thames police inspector, and his boat's crew, who got the ve,sel ashore near Hague and Millar's, the en gineers at Wapping Wal', where s 4 was kept afloat by means of her own pumps, and four others engaged by the Thames police, until the tide ret eded, when the leak was stopped, and she was afterwards removed to her pro per berth. 1 . _ A collision took place between the Comet, Gravesend ateamcr, and the Friends, a fishing-smack, soon after the commencement of the hurricane. The Comet was on her way down the river, and in Woolvtich-reach met the fishing smack beating up with the tide, and, front the seve rity of the gale, almost unmanageable. The two vessels came in violent contact with each other; the Comet struck the Friends a violent blow, and she iplawliate l Y b°- gan to fill. The crew ran her ashore, and when the tide receded she was left high and dry aground, and the leak having bee❑ stopped, the Friends was brought up to Green wich yesterday afternoon. Upwards of 100 watermen's beats were stove in or broke to pieces during the storm between London-bridge and Greenwich, and the owners are by this unfortunate visita tion deprived of the means of subsistence. At midnight ft barge laden with twenty-six tons of coals, was picked up by the Thames police in a sinking pate, near the London dock buoy, and towed to WappineOld stairs. The river presented the appearance of a rough sea for several hours ; the spray dashed over the wharfs and ves sels, and for more than four hours the communication be tween the Middlesex and Surrey shore was almost totally suspended below bridge. _ . . . .. The effects of the storm wore severely felt above bridge, and between Hungerford-market and London-bridge no less than eighteen bargesladen with eoalsiand other carpel were sunk. Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, a sailing barge laden with a general cargo, and moored at anchor off the Red-house, Battersea, was overturned, and went down in five fathoms of water. The barge-- men narrowly escaped with their lives. About the same time a sailing barge with bricks was carried by the hurricane off Battersea church, and the man in the cabin perished. Two coal barges, deeply laden, belonging to Mr. Ewell, of Westminster, 'ank near the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge. A barge be longing to Mr. Dixon, coal laden, went adrift from the road off the King's Arms-stairs, Lambeth, and went down near the bridge, and all the coals were turned out of her. A few minutes afterwards a light barge, the property of Mr. Mallett, sank on the top of the other barge. Both were towed into the King's Arms'.stairs yesterday, the first by Inspector Maddox and his boat's crew, and the se cond by Kingsford and Charles Fraser, river constables, who saved many lighters and barges from sinking, and towed the others to a place of safety. Soon after high water a barge laden with deals, pile! eight or nine feet above the deck, was driven by the fpree of the wind and current against the pier of the second hrch on the north-west side of Blackfriars'-bridge, where it re mained fast, with the tide beating over it, and continually washing the deals away until the tide began to flow again, when the barge slowed round, was driven against the arch, and capsized. Sev'eral steamers which should have arrived, in the ordi nary ccurse, last evening, had not come in, while others were ten and twelve hours behind their time. Some picked up many dismastcd ships at sea. This last storm has cauFed many shipwrecks and loss of life on the coast, and, following so close upon the other, has done extensive mischief. CASE OF CAPTAIN REYNOLDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. British Coffee-house, Cockspur-sitieet, Nov. 18. Six,—As some of your Correspondents have inti mated that fraud may be practised on the public in the absence of information o❑ the result of the meetings at the British Coffee-house, will you allow me, through your columns, to state that no subscriptions have been received, nor has any person been authorised to re- ceive any. The Committee appointed at the adjourned public meeting met but once, and at that meeting resolved that no further steps should be taken in the matter. The original motive, viz., a strong and ardent sym pathy with Mr. R. A. Reynolds, which h a d been ex cited from a conviction that his high feelings of honour and independence could not brook the tyranny and de gradation practised in the 11 th Hussars, after reading his letter no longer existed. It was admitted that the conduct of Lords Hill and Cardigan were in no wise affected by the pliancy of their victim, except, indeed, that a stronger proof was adduced of the prostrate submissiveness into which the junior officers had been successfully drilled—their conduct still merits that universal condemnation which has been so unequivocally expressed, but as many of the gentlemen who have come forward to testify in one instance their feelings upon the subject have great repugnanee to the turmoil of general political agitation, they desire to leave the matter to Parl ament and the influence of public opinion, unexcited by any organised system of agitation. It is much to be regretted that the course purved by Mr. Reynolds had not been such as would have allowed the country, through him, so to have declared their indignation at the practice of the Horse Gtairda and the conduct of his late commanding officer, as would have enforced an abatement, if not an abandonment, of the tyranny and aristocratic pride now exercised to such a disgraceful extent in the British army. I am, Sir, your's, &c., E. HUGGETT, Sec. to the Committee on R. A. Reynolds' case. [None of our Correspondents cam any imputation on the meeting held at the British Coffee-house, because it was distinctly stated at the time that no money vras to be collected there for Captain Reynolds.] We direct the attention of our readers to the Agenda Paper of the 'Westminster and Middlesex Court of Sewers to-morrow, Friday, at 12 o'clock, at that office, in Greek -street, Soho-square, inserted in another co lumn, from which will be seen the multifarious nature of the business of the Court, and the great importance to,. the public interests of many of the subjects then to be? disposed of. We shall endeavour to afford our readers an accurate account of the meeting. MALTA, Nov. s.—The remonstrances of the Alexandrian merchants appears to have but little weight with Rear- Admiral Sir John Louis ; for although there are three disposable steam-packets in port, he persists in detaining, not only the mails for India, but likewise those for Alexandria and Syria, despatched from London on the 30th of September and sth of October, to the serious de triment (and to some, no doubt, utter ruin) of commercial interests. The City of Dublin steamer left for Corfu yesterday, when the Hastings, ship of the litre, arrived from Bey rout to undergo repairs, bringing the sick from the fleet, and such of those whose wounds admitted of their being removed. Some of the subalterns (such as purveyors' assistants) of our military hospitals here, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Constantinople, where it is said military hospitals are absut to be organized on the system of the British service. Major Napier, of the 86th, lately arrived from England, has proceeded to Syria in the Hydra. Upwards of twenty vessels arrived here yesterday, chiefly Greeks, with oar. goes from Alexandria, sent here for safety. ARRIVAL OF STEAMERS.-This morning the two Scotch steamers, which were due on Monday last, and for the safety of which great fears were enter. tained, arrived with their crews and cargoes in safety is the river ' but the vessels have sustained very considerable damage, having encountered a tremendous storm, by which their paddle wheels and machinery have been considerably injured, which caused their dctension for so long a period.
