ENING EDITION. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The English Funds have been steady to-day, and at one period showed a disposition to a further improvement. The Continental Exchanges continue to improve, and, with the exception of Amsterdam, show a further ad vance on the rates of last post. 'There has been an appearance to-day also, of money being easier, but only, we believe, on securities at call. discount brokers hold it still tight at the high rates en commercial paper, although they have large unem ployed balances on hand. We have received the papers by the overland mall from India. The Bengal Hurlearu, of the 13th of September, says, since their hitt, of the 11th of Au gust, the Money . Market had presented one mono ,onous feature, without animation or change. The I 'l.r.g,th of time they had been without information from ;hina, and the tardiness of the arrival of the July mail, had greatly increased the heaviness of the overcast mar :et. Even since they had news from both sides of the eater the market did not manifest any alteration. The accounts from China to the 30th June last were considered to have placed affairs in a more precarious position. Canton, they observed, had been put under a strict blockade by a portion of a fleet of the expedi tion, and the rest were making their way up the coast to Chosen, without divulging their object. The rates of the exchange on England were 23. to s. -lid. for bank bills ; American bills, under London .Tedits, 2s. Id. to 2s. lid. ; Treasury bills, Is. Ild. to ts. I I ; Bank of Bengal Shares had improved in -value, being quoted at 2,300 to 2,320 rupees prem. ; Union Bank Shares were 280 to 285 rupees prem. The Agra Bank had declared a dividend of 10 per cent., but its contemplated establishment of an insurance society has not yet been matured. TlMES.—There was no great amount of business transacted to-day in the Foreign Exchanges, and the supply of bills having exceeded the demand, there was a consideaable improvement in the rate upon Ham burgh. Paris and Amsterdam were also higher than last post, though the improvement on those places was not so marked as upon Hamburgh. The prn•pect of a loan being required by the Brazi lian Government furnishes an occasion to consider the condition of that country, and to qualify, if necessary, the eagerness in capitalists to embark in such a specu lation. One reasonable ground of doubt is, in late letters from Rio, the stability of the empire itself. At present each province has its own Chamber of De puties, and the Senate and Deputies at Rio de Janeiro are much ou the plan of the United States Con gress. The government being in the hands of a juvenile Emperor, and the population being reck oced at about 1-9.oth of Brazilians to a remainder of blacks, mulattoes, &c., they think it very probable that the country may fall into three or four separate states, the internal adhering to the maritime provinces, according to their several relations. With respect to the currency, it is stated to be com poked of Government paper and copper, the last of which is only a legal tender to the amount of one mil rea. The notes or paper money, therefore, are the only representative of value, and these are not convertible at will into specie, for the Government does not bind itself to redeem them. Hence, as every political movement in the country causes an increase or a diminution of this paper, its exchangeable value is subject to the greatest fluctuations, and the state of the foreign exchanges be comes a political index. After the abdication of Don Pedro the Exchanges fell from 46d. to 30d. The state of the country becoming worse, the exchanges are per petually falling, for the Government is continually obliged to purchase remittances in London to pay the dividends on the debt, and is also continually buying ee ens and powder, and these necessarily rise in value as the exchanges decline. The natural resources of theßrazils are admitted on ell hands, though there are doubts whether they are available in the present state of affairs. There is land enough for the growth of sugar and coffee, but there is a deficiency of hands to work it. It is even a question .erhether an increased produce of these two articles would be of much benefit to the Government, as it ;night cause a decline in the market, which would - balance the advantages of increased production ; but Shis is certainly an extreme opinion. The object of the loan is to pay off existing debts, not to reform the cur rency, and thus another instance is afforded of the vi eious system of contracting one loan to pay the dividends on another ; a loan for a similar purpose was contracted about 18 months ago, and now this project appears for the redemption of Exchequer Bills and the satis faction of other liabilities. The expenses of quelling perpetual rebellions, and the danger of these to the Government, are additional circumstances which should be held up as a warning to capitalists. These facts present certainly the least favourable view of the slew measure, as it is to be considered, on the other "hand, that the dividends on the public debt of Brazil kayo been regularly paid, and its resources are really g reat. However, too much caution is better than too much confidence in advancing money to Foreign 7. , ; tates, and there is no doubt that all that is said of the vicious state of the currency may be taken with zet qu alification. Some extracts are given below from a letter to this j o wel, in which heavy complaint is made of the tendee cy of certain articles and opinions taken from a paper .called the New York Herald to damage the character of the whole people of the United States. We have too high an opinion of that character to believe such a thing possible by any such means. As to the journal in question, its true character is pretty well understood in this city, where it finds its way into the counting-houses of the merchant for the sake of the satistical information it affords, and in the collec tion of which some industry is exercised. The ques tion of fictitious voting may possibly be brought forward hereafter, and illustrated by authority of a higher order, but in the mean time the writer of this letter, justly de• precating, as he does, any such sweeping deduction from it, has every claim to a hearing : " The high sense of propriety and justice with which your paper is conducted will, I am sure, induce you, through the instrumentality of this note, to correct the very erroneous impressions which your publication of yesterday from the New York Herald was calculated to produce. " If one were prepared to take the authority of that press and the article to which I refer as truth, they -might indeed believe that the Government of the United States was not oniy on the eve of dissolution, but that the very solid fabric of the country was about to be broken up in a profligate convulsion, in which every sense, not alone of moral rectitude but even of public decency, was violated and trampled under foot. " As the Ncii , fork Herald is often quoted in the English Journals, I think it but just to my own country that you should be made acquainted with the standing of that paper among those who know it best. It is de signed for circulation among the lowest, the most igno rant, and the most vulgar. As its sale depends on the pungency of its scandal, and the broadness and depth of its falsehoods, it of course has to meet the demand of the market both for public and private calumny. Bence their account of the 5,000 locomotive bribed e wctors that migrate from New York to Philadelphia anti Baltimore, anl then vice versa, and of the dreadful lonsp:racy among the banks in investing their funds in 'he pr ofitable stock of suborning this posse of hopeful " I do not pretend to say that the elections in our populous cities are not occasionally corrupt, but if we ire to rely on the accounts, perhaps equally veracious, ei the English journals of the sums squandered in a con tested election in your o w n island, more money is spent in a single county in England than in one of the largest of our -States, with a population tea times more numerous. Rely upon it, that the people of both countries are pretty much alike. The Presidential eon• test is unusually animated ; but in two days after the -votes arc counted the people will acquiesce in the ex pression of the popular will with a eomposure which will not leave the slightest trace of the present convulsion. There is about as much prospect of a revolution and bloodshed in the United states from the result of this contest, as there was in England by the issue of Alder. man Harmer's late effort to be made Lord Mayor of :London." POST.—As political :natters seem to be fast settling aow.n agaia to their former state of quietude, the foreign funds, which had, for a time, been stagnant and nearly log .i g :tt of, are beginning once more to attract the at tention of speculators. We have but little to remark upon as rejards the home securities. Consols have been °sedating all day upon the closing prices of yes terday, and the various other descriptions of English stock were_ equally stationary. The chief mov e ment wss in the S pa nish market, but it was, probably, in a very great measure, one of a forced and artificial cha racter. The Active Bonds advanced per ce n t. u p on the opening price, having at one moment reached 2.1 i. There tons, however, a subsequent re-action of about per cent., as many of the holders were but too g i 2 4 to rid themsel ves of their bonds at the improvement quoted. Those who have solßoutt seem to l hav ct a e a rise d b ed with sound discretion, as onst era never fails to bring to market large supplies of the unproductive class of securities of whi coft Europe from ere are such masses circulating in various parts abroad. Some of our Contemporaries, who, like our selves, are anxious to see the trading interests prosper, cry ou t loudly against a further introduction of foreign bo n d s — an y foreign bonds whatever—esp e cially at a moment like the present, when it is so difficult to place ;the foreign exchanges in a position which the commetea dai . the country so urgently calls for. It atTords us great sati, , factio n t o perce i ve th a t the snore intelligent of the daily press have at length fairly joined us in the earl, d emnaiton of this unprofitable traffic, and that whi le gambling upo n a sma ll sca l e i n th e west end of the town is hunted down by the public authorities, the greater infamy which exists in the City, though not -visited also with tha p un i s h ment d ue t o it, does not en -tirely escape observation mi censure. We are icapor :wiled daily, and, as it is se , not in vain, by the most - to peetable of the mercantil e n interest, to continue to raise our voices against the evil, as one that is calcu lated to sap the foundations of all honourable and legi timate enterprise. The Bank averages for the three months ending the 10th instant were published in the Gazelle of this even ing. On a comparison of them with those last pub lished we find the following variations :—The circulation has decreased 433 0001., the difference between 17,231,0001. and 16,793,000/ ; the deposits 366,0001. ; the difference between 6,762,000/. and 6,396,000/. ; the securities 463,000/. ; the difference between 22,782,0001. and 22,319,000/. ; and the stock of bullion 416,000/. ; the difference between 4,143,000/. and 3,729,0001., the latter being the present average. In the "rest" there is an increase of 80,000/., the differ ence between 2,854,000/. and 2,934,000/. The item of bullion is low, but it will be perceived, from the other averages, that every precaution has been taken by the Bank Directors to check the drain upon them, their circulation and securities having undergone a si multaneous reduction to a large extent. Demerara Papers to the 6th ult. have been received, but they furnish us with nothing new. The misunder standings which have so long existed between the local Government and the colonists who supported the Court of Policy in its opposition to them (the Uovernment) were continued with unabated rancour ; nor can a better state of things be expected to supervene until i the former can divest themselves of that selfishness of demeanour by which so much animosity was first en gendered. The position of the parties seems to be sim ply this—the colonists require certain changes in the administration of the affairs of the colony, with respect to labourers. These changes will be authorised so soon as the Court of Policy will consent to give the servants of the Crown an increase of salary, which, in the pre sent distressed condition of all the British West India colonies, cannot be afforded. They have, in fact, been authorised, and again disallowed, in default of the con sideration exacted. A reconciliation, under these cir cumstances, is hardly to be hoped for until a more dis interested set of persons shall be substituted for those now in power. Nothing can prevent anarchy and alienation in settlements governed upon this corrupt, mercenary system. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We agree with the Ti»zes, that " the distinction be. tween advice and control involves one of the nicest shades of difference in the world ;" but it does not fol low, that, because the advice we give " to the native Princes of India " is equivalent to control, we are equally entitled to control the Sultan. The native Princes of India are dependent in the strictest sense of the word. They are forced to receive a British re sident, by whose advice they must act, and the resident has troops at his command. But the Sultan is the Sovereign of a mighty State, which only the other day made head against the powerful empire of Russia ; and though from various circum stances Turkey is in a diseased and languid state, yet the very object of the Treaty of the 15th July is to free the Sultan from the incumbrances which prevent the vigorous action of his government, and to remove all obstacles in the way of his inde pendence. It would be rather an odd way of proving that he was in a condition to vindicate his independence, to tell him, you must implicitly follow our advice, by allowing Mehemet Ali to retain the hereditary Go vernment of Egypt, and certain portions of Syria, in order, by this obedience to us, to afford a demonstation to the world that no alarm need henceforth be enter tained as to your power to maintain the integrity and independence of your empire. A show of sovereignty is conceded to the native Princes of India, while care is taken to let it be seen, both by themselves and others, that they are not independent. The system is attended with this unfortunate result, that dependence on the British Government secures impunity to them, and mercy to the subjects compels us to deprive them even of the show of sovereignty, and to exercise its power our selves. But, in the case of the Sultan, no one thing ought to be more carefully guarded against than whatever might produce an impression on the world that he is a puppet, moved at will by his allies. If we wish that he should really be independent, and acquire the reputation for vigour, by which alone the integrity of the Turkish empire can be maintained, the greatest care should be taken to avoid whatever has a tendency to stamp a character of dependence on his rule. No circumstance throughout the warfare in Syria has afforded us so much gratification as the fact of the Turks having distinguished themselves signally against the Egyptians. because it is of the utmost importance, with reference to the object of the Treaty of the 15th of July, that the Turks should regain confidence in themselves. The victories over Mehemet Ali's troops are of incalculable importance, not merely as leading to the acquisition of Syria, but as investing the Sultan with the reputation by which he may be en abled to maintain his sway in all parts of his extensive empire. The language held by Lord Palmerston, as to the limits within which the Allies ought to confine their interference with the Porte, is therefore, any thing but idle. It is exceedingly improbable that the Sultan, at this critical time, will be deficient in defer ence to the advice which may be tendered to him, but still it would ill become the parties to a Treaty for se curing the integrity and independence of Turkey, to make light of the determination of the Sultan, or to let it be seen, by any of their acts, that they deemed his independence a farce. And here we cannot help remarking, that nothing can be more reprehensible than the language held by public men its France with reference to Turkey. We observe, ou all oc• casions, the assumption of a right to control the Sultan in the exercise of his sovereignty. "We insist that Mehemet Ali shal' have this and that part of the acknowledged dominions of the Sultan," is not assuredly the language which ought to be held. The French were at liberty to refuse to join the Allies in co ercing Mehemet Ali, and to withhold their assent to the Treaty of the 151 h of July ; but we are at a loss to understand on what principle of international law they are entitled to prescribe the mode in which the Sultan shall delegate his authority. Nothing can be more subversive of national independence than this claim set up by our neighbours. We cannot say that the French owe much gratitude to their partisans in this country. The share of terri tory that shall be allowed to Mehemet Ali we hold to be a matter of very minor concern to France ; but it is not a matter of miner concern to her that foreign na tions should be impressed with the idea that her Go vernment is one which rests on a secure basis. The argument constantly urged here, however, is one which had a tendency to shake the confidence of other coun tries in the power of any Government to preserve au thority in that country. " For God's sake," they ex claimed, "give way to France. The demand she makes is, no doubt most unreasonable, but if you do not yield to her, the people will break out, and there is no say ing what may happen." Had the Government of this country yielded to these silly appeals ad wisericordiam, they would have done not a little to weaken authority in France by creating an impression that alarm for the permanence of authority in France had conceded to the unreasonable demands of an excited multitude what justice oeght to have withheld. Had this deprecating system been continued much longer, the task of govern. in s France would have become one of the utmost di ficulty. (From the Times.) Although during the past week a variety of more pressing matters has diverted our attention from the late contest for the Glasgow Divinity Chair, we cannot ailvtv the issue of that contest to drop from public observation without offering such remarks upon it us appear to us to be imperatively called for ; and we trust that the same stern impartiality which impelled us to advocate the pre-eminent rights of Dr. Chalmers, though it: other respects this Journal is often opposed to him, wilt he studiously maintained by us while no ti zing the success, Qpt of his rival (for rival he had none), but. of his very humble and triumphant compe titor. by an irrevocable decision of tha Glasgow Sruatus, out of whose hands the privilege of electing the Theological Professor is not yet taken, the Rev. Dr. Hill has been appointed ;n preference to Dr. Chal mers. Some of the more discreditable newspapers hage endeavoured to make it appear that the vote in Dr. favour was unanimous; but this is sub. s:Antially uktrue. A respectable minority of the Senates i leadeinfeur were supporters of the defeated candidate ; And, although tan righ teous men could not be found in that. infatuated corpurg,tion to give it the chance of escaping impending retributcps, we feel thankful that there were at :east five whose inde'ible recti•.ude may possibly dirnini4 py half the severity of its coming tate. It has been stated 41PO, that Sir James Graham's vote was given to Dr. Hill ; but there is no reason to believe that this Right Hon. Baronet cons. mitted himself to any such iad4teretion. The truth is, that at a meeting held twenty-four Lsurs before the day of election, it was ascertained that the oppc;;;;:r f ts of Dr. Chalmers had acquired a very conclusive majority , and consequently his friends, perc4 - 40ing that their per, tinacious prefereaen would only end in'a 4.0620, ernbar raattag their future ret4-tions with the Profe ssfa plgp t without promising the smalteet benefit to his competitor, dcclineddividing the Senalus upop ;..hp subject ; and u _r this helpless tseaessity they pasf4,ve:ly ipu'umitted to Dr- Hill's appointment.

It is true the press of M. Thiers which persuaded the old I wretch that France would support him in his re bellion, even at the expense of a rebellion at home ; and M. Thiers, nevertheless, looked quietly on while the miserable dupe was receiving the just chastisement of his crimes, and of his ill-founded confidence. It is very true that France had not the power to protect the tyrant of Egypt and Syria ; but it was quite competent to the French Minister not to deceive him, and thus to leave hint free from all delusions that could prevent his making his peace with his offended, and, as we think, from the first, too-indulgent, Sovereign. But while we admit that the Journal des Debats has, in the main, the best of the argument, we are bound to allow that this trimming and turncoat Journal has not much reason for private triumph in its share of the dispute. It was, as the CoHstitutionne/ takes care to remind it, one of the loudest of the war journals little more than two short months ago. With what reason, then, can it reproach the War-Ministry? The apology that it was deceived in affairs, transparently intelligible to the whole world from the very outset, can only disgust all honest men. The Constitutionne/, on the other side, fails by attempting very ungenerously and disloyally to defend M. Thiers at the expense of the King. (From the Courier.) Many, who take a lively interest in the prosperity of the Church of Scotland, were indulging the hope that the dominant faction in the Kirk had, at length, seen the danger of the path they are pursuing, and were pausing in their career. They were led to think so from the indictment, or libel, which had been determined on by the Commission of August not having been served on the seven ministers of just heard, however, that this step has at length been taken, within only ten days, as it happens, of the meeting of the Commission of Novem ber, at which the parties are to he called upon to plead to it. The proceedings of this Commission, which meets at Edinburgh on Wednesday next, the 18th, will, in all probability, so far determine what is to be done with the Kirk, that if this in dictment is persisted in, and the plea which will be then set up, that the parties indicted were in obe dience to the law of the land, be overruled, the strong arm of the Legislature will be interposed, if the Courts of Law find themselves impotent ; and long be , fore the General Assembly of 1841 can proceed to inflict the punishment, the country will be spared the spectacle of a body of her Majesty's liege subjects being visited with ecclesiastical penalties, for no other crime than that they paid due and becoming respect to the we have asserted that Mehemet Ali has shown himself more disposed to be the friend of England than the north ern Autocrat has ever done. It is true we have asserted that Mehemet Ali has a title by treaty to possessions which England has leagued with Russia to wrest from him ; but it is not true that we have supported or admired the policy of M. Thiers any more than we have supported or admired that of Lord Palmerston. We have repeatedly described those two "statesmen," whose paper wars . . have been agitating all Europe with alarms of more dangerous conflicts, as political pretenders, destitute of all true statesmanlike qualities. In the very rage and tempest of the Thiers' excitement in France we pre dicted that Thiers would himself be frightened by the success of his efforts to evoke the martial spirit of the people—efforts which we imputed to a mere passion for popularity, and for gratifying him in which Lord Palmerston, by the blundering precipitancy of his eastern policy, afforded the pretext. We thus ex pressed ourselves of the conduct of M. Thiers and its probable consequences, when he was at the height of his power six weeks ago, and when the journals sup posed to be under his influence were lashing the popu lar mind of France, by daily stimulants, into a frenzy of rage against England. (From the Morning Post.) Some of the statements of the ex-Ministers in the French Chamber of Deputies convey important in formation, to which it behoves every British politician carefully to attend. M. Remusat has at last let out the reason why France was so anxious to uphold Mehemet Ali in the full measure of the power which he had usurped. It is because the Viceroy possesses a marine which, united to that of France, might counterbalance the navy of Great Britain ! This was the policy of our friendly ally' under the direction of the late Ministers. This is the policy which our precious ultra-Radicals would promote if they could. We rejoice that they cannot. They would have us by all means to leave Mehemet Ali—that able rebel— to enjoy in all tranquillity whatever his ability had usurped, and by no means to quarrel with France for sup porting him. M. Remusat teaches us to what point such policy would have led. As for M. Thiers, he has made rather a frank confession of his shuffling, and has unconsciously paid no slight compliment to the fore sight and firmness of Lord Palmerston. He says that Lord Palmerston has always considered the power of the Viceroy (Mehemet Ali) as pernicious, and has even declared that the only good policy is to reduce him to Egypt alone. Who can doubt, after reading what M. Remusat has disclosed of the views of France, that the only good policy for Great Britain is to reduce the Viceroy to the possession of Egypt alone, and to take care that he shall not find himself in circumstances to combine his marine with that of France against the navy of England ? As to the actual policy of M. Thiers in the Turco-Egyptian question, it seems to have been all along an effort to gain time—to cause time to elapse with out anything definite being done. To gain time he declares to have been the substance of his instruc decrees emanating from her Majesty's Court of Justice! —and that, too, by a Church established by law, and enjoying the privileges and endowments of a State insti• tution! We speak advisedly and on good authority when we say, that if the prosecution now carrying on against the seven ministers is persisted in, measures of a most stringent nature will be adopted by Parliament to protect them ; and not only to protect them, but to prevent in future the recurrence of those scenes in the Kirk which for some time past has revolted the good feeling and loyalty of the country. tions to M. Guizot when he (Thiers) became chic Minister. He wanted to retain for Mehemet all the territory and the power which he had usurped. The motive is explained in the declaration of M. Remusat, to which we have already alluded. He found from the firm opposition of Lord Palmerston that this was a very difficult point, but still, as it was the status quo, the main object was to gain time. He heard from the Ministers of Prussia and Austria that they thought it possible that Lord Palmerston might be brought to agree that Me hemet should have Syria for his life. He tells M. Guizot that if any such offer were made he was not to reject it, but to accept it ad referendum. Still the ob ject was to gain time. (From the Morning Advertiser.) It is impossible to ascribe too much credit to 'her Majesty's Ministers for their just conception of the state of affairs in the East, and the relation they bore towards our neighbours the French, or to the efficacious measures they decided on pursuing, and their prompt and vigor ous execution of them, by which the subject of conten tion with France has been removed, and the avowed object of war secured from being a cause for hostilities. The advance of the public funds in that country, and the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, show that the result is duly estimated by the people of pro petty in it, and the conviction that Europe will not be disturbed by war becomes daily more prevalent, leading almost to a certainty. The news from the East shows that the Anglo-Turkish army is in pos session of most of the principal places on the coast of Syria, and that Acre must soon pass into our hands ; besides, it is now certain that the rising o f the inha bitants against the sway of Mehemet Ali is daily and hourly increasing, so that, perhaps by this time, that Paella does not possess a foot of ground in all Syria. It then becomes a question whether Mehemet All shall be allowed to retain the Pachalic of Egypt. Our Government and the Allies have now the power of making this concession to the Ministry of M. Guizot, in order to preserve peace, and if Mehemet Ali will restore the Turkish fleet, and stipulate not to disturb the Sultan in the possession of Syria and his other dominions, we should be happy to see the peace of the world assured on such terms. The speech of the King of the French on the opening of _ the Chambers, and the subsequent proceedings therein, are decidedly pacific ; and although the anarchists of France would, doubtless, still wish for war, in order to further their revolutionary projects, yet, we know, that all men of property, and all wise and good men in that country, deprecate such a fatal issue—one that has no object of a national character; and we have no hesitation in saying, in accordance with our hopes and best wishes, for the happiness of Europe, that peace will be preserved ; indeed there does not remain any pretence for war. The avowed object of France, and the real one of England—that of prevent ing the Russians from marching on Constantinople—has been prevented by the foresight and skill of our Cabinet, and the vigorous measures directed by Lord Palmer ston, and ex'cuted by the brave and sagacious Admiral Napier and his companions in arms. We advisedly call him Admiral Napier ; for we can hardly doubt that there will be an Order in Council appointing him a Rear-Admiral in the navy, for his great and glorious services. LAW IN TELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 13. The Court heard motions to-day. WALL V. BAKER. Mr. PEMBERTON moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, that the defendants in this cas. might be ordered to proceed to trial of the issue directed on the 23d March, 1838, at the next assizes for the county. The plaintiff and the defen dant claimed, under the will of Jonathan Wall, certain property, and the question raised at the hearing was to whom it passed. The opinion of the Court was that that could only be ascertained by an issue, and accordingly an issue was directed. Both the plaintiff and defendant were very poor, and no steps had been taken towards a trial. The plaintiff, however, having subsequently the moans, re quested the defendant to accept of the declaration, and to proceed to trial at once, in order to have their right deter mined, which the defendant refused, alleging that the time mentioned by the decree had passed. Hence the present motion. Mr. GIRDLESTONE opposed the motion, and contended that it was not competent for a party to make such an ap plication, after having lain by for so long a period. The MASTER of the ROLLS, however, was of opinion he must grant the application, the plaintiff paying all the costs that had been incurred for, although the plaintiff had been guilty of neglect and delay, yet the defendant had adopted no proceeding for the ,purpose of taking ad. vantage of it. DONCAN AND OTHERS V. IHYALICONT AND OTHERS. The object of the motion in this case was to restrain proceedings in the Admiralty Court, upon a bottomry bond, which had been obtained by the defendants from the master of a vessel, which bond pledged, not only the ship and the freight, but also the cargo. The defendants, M'Calmont and Co., were suing upon the bond in the Admiralty Court, and the ship and the freight being insuf ficient to pay the amount of the bottomry bond, they had required the owners of the cargo to give bail, which they had done, to satisfy whatever might be recovered against them in that Court. The facts of the case, as we collected them from the state ments of Mr. Pemberton, were these :—ln the year 1839 Messrs. Thomas and William Benson were the owners of a ship called the Lord Cochrane, and they appointed Luke Hall Smith to be the master. The vessel was thirty years old, and had had a large sum expended upon her in repairs shortly before 1839, in which year she was sent by the owners, under the care of Captain Smith, with freight and cargo, to the Isle of Ascension in the Brazils, to proceed from thence to Pernambuco for freight, and afterwards to return to Landon. The ship, with her tackle and apparel, and stores and provisions, was insured by the owners, at what they called the o utside value, for 4,5004 Having arrived safely at the Isle of Ascension she proceeded to Pernambuco, and took in a cargo of cotton and sugar, which belonged to the plaintiffs; there were a number of firms that had shipped goods through their agents at Pernam buco ; and among others who shipped goods in freight fur the return voyage, was the firm of M'Calmont and Co., in which the defendants against whom the present application was made were parties. M'Calmont and Co. were, in truth, the agents to whom the ship was addressed, and they undertook the agency. The cargo having been shipped, the vessel was about to proceed on her homeward voyage on the 29th of June, 1839, but in attempting to clear the port, she got upon a sandbank, and was so much damaged as to be obliged to return to the harbour of Pernambuco. The ship was examined, and it was found necessary to repair her. The Captain not having enough for the purpose of paying the M'Calmont and Co., to necessary knowifthecyxpae.onuselds t a a P k P e li h e i d s i b to ilis upon the owners for the amount of the repairs. The v.ssel was repaired, and Messrs. M'Calmont and Co. obtained from the captain a bottomry bond, dated the 6th of January, 1840, fur the sum of 8,5881. 12s. 4d. Of that sum 7,132/. 3s. Bd. was re presented to consist of principal, and 1,426/. Bs. Bd. was a premium of 20 per cent. on the amount of that expenditure. The vessel sailed from Pernambuco OR the 7th of January, 1840, and arrived at Liverpool on the 20th of March fol lowing. The condition of the bond was, that payment of the money should he made within twenty days after the arrival of the ship at Liverpool. On the 19th of March, however, Messrs. M'Calmont and Co. procured a war rant of arrest of the ship's freight and cargo out of the Ad miralty Court. Messrs. BLIISON, the owners, determined not to defend the proceedings in the Admiralty Court, and the ship was sold for 1,659/. The freight amounted to between 2,000/. and 3,000/., so that the owner of the cargo would have to contribute upwards of 4,0001. The con signeesof the cargo, therefore, had to give bail to satisfy the amount, which might be recovered against them upon the bond, as the only means of preventing a seizure of the goods. Mr. PRMBERTON (with whom was Mr. Sutton Sharpe and Mr. Bolt) moved, on behalf of the plaintiffs, who were the consignees, that the defendants might be re strained from further proceedings in the Court of Ad miralty. The ground on which the Bill in Chancery had been filed was, that the bottomry bond had been obtained under circumstances which amounted to a fraud on the part of M'Calmont and Company, and that a Court of Equity therefore had jurisdiction to order the instrument to be delivered up, and that no adequate relief c3uld be obtained, in that respect, in the Admiralty Court. They further contended, that inde pendently of the case of fraud alleged on the part of the plaintiffs, the equities which arose between the different parties concerned in the transaction, were such as to bring the case necessarily within the jurisdiction of a Court of Equity, upon some paints, and that that urt whi c h a l one could determine a ll the r i g h ts b etween the parti es would take care that the case was disposed of altogethe r t h ere, and not disposed of partially in one Court and part i ally in another. The Learned Counsel quoted a s i m i lar case of Ulascott v . L ang , reporte d i n 3 Mylne and C • g. Mr. KINDERSLEY (for the 'defendants M•Calmont and Co.) submitted that their conduct had been perfectly bona fide, and read passages from the answers an d evid e n ce , to show that th e y had only charged the amount expended in repairs, which the surveys of competent pet:sons, with the concurrence of th e capta i n, prove d to be necessary. As to the charges of fr au d against the defen d ants , there was not a tittle of evid ence to support them ; but even if these charges were as true as they were Mr. TURS6R false, they proved no reason for t a ki ng the matter o ut of the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court. follo we d on t h e sa me side The case was not concluded when the Court rose. The arguments will be resumed to-morrow (this day). FROM THE,DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) We observe with satisfaction that the whole tenor of the explanations which have been given in the Commit tees of the Chamber of Deputies, and which our readers will find in another part of this day's columns, arc favourable (as the nomination of the commission of the Address has been, by a majority of seven to two), to the maintenance of a pacific policy. They are fa vourable to such a policy on two grounds—first, as they prove that no insult or injury was done, or intended by 'England or Europe to l'rance. The evidence of this is quite conclusive from all parties concerned ; and the more conclusive, as the Ministers of the Ist of March are now in Opposition ; and if there had been any thing to say against England or Europe in justification of their own recent show of menace —they would have said it. M. Thiers has, indeed, said that the signa. ture of the treaty of July was un tres nzauvais procede —but every thing else that be said proves there was no mauvais procede in the matter. M. Guizot, moreover, whose words (as a man who weighs his words) are worth at least M. Thiers', says quietly and explicitly —" The treaty of the 15th Jely was not unanticipated by France ; it was perfectly well known that if the question could not be resolved by five, it would be by four. The other Powers had no wish to exclude France from the set tlement of the Eastern Question. Several plans were tried, which failed." Secondly, the proceedings of the Committees are favourable to peace, because they tear away the last shred of a pretext for war. While on the one hand it is evident that Europe had no wish to quarrel with France—on the other hand it is ev.dent France has no cause to quarrel with Europe. These two points we consider of such vast importance, when proved by such evidence—that we shall devote our present article to setting them forth. M. Thiers says—" France ought not to have embarked in the E istern question, but once em barked, as has been done, it was necessary to get out of it otherwise than to the shame of the country." It was M. Thiers' tactic, throughout his explanations in the Committee, to represent France as so deeply engaged by the former Governments on the Eastern question, that his Ministry could hope for nothing more when they took power, but to gain lime. This mode of con ducting his defence proves one thing at least—and a most valuable virtual concession it is ! It proves that a person so acute as M. Thiers, and so adroit, we must needs say, at putting any colour be pleases on trans actions which touch, and shifting on any shoulders but his own the blame that is thrown on him—it proves, we saw, that a politician so little encumbered with over niceness, finds it impossible to defend his warlike de monstrations on grounds of general policy ! He is compelled to fly for refuge to the plea that his hands were tied by his predecessors —that engagements had been made, which, though they ought not to have been made, fettered him.

I am, your obedient servant, —" And now, my friends, I trust you will not be INQUISITAS. mere bearers of this word, but doers of it also. I will not disguise from you my object in coming here. It is for electioneering purposes that I present myself among you. If you who have votes, give them to men who tax your children's bread, you deserve all the evils wh ch the Corn-laws inflict on you. Resolve then this night, that no wan shall have your suffrages who will not pledge himself to repeal, no candidate is so ena moured of the Corn- law as to lose his seat rather than vote against it ; show your representat:ves that you are determined, and you need not fear that they will abide by the bread-tax rather than secure your support ; and if, after all, you find them obstinate, do not hesitate for an instant in starting other candi dates who will pledge themselves to procure cheap bread for their constituents. I do not come here to support either of the factions that crucify the nation between them. Whig, as well as Tory, votes for the Corn-laws ; and both hooted down our patriotic leader when he stood up in his place to vindicate your rights. Ask no man to what party he belongs, but make this your simple interrogatory, Will you vote for Repeal, or will you help to tax the nation's bread ?' If the an swer is for Repeal, then vote for the candidate, what ever else he is ; if he insist upon being a bread -taxer, then, although he were o th erw i se t h e very paragon o f patriots, do not hesitate for a moment to kick him into the infinite obscure' of private life. If lam asked how you are to obtain repeal, my answer is—by de manding it. Public opinion on this subject, if exten sively expressed, is omnipotent. It wrung Catholic Emancipation from the iron Duke ;' it extracted re peal of the Test Act from a High Church Parliament ; it dragged freedom to the slave from West India plan ters ; the Reform Bill from a House of boroughmongers ; and will impetrate cheap bread from a cabal of land owners. When I have got repeal of the Corn-laws I won't stop there ; but until we have got repeal we can't get further. If my words have convinced you, let your actions follow your convictions ; and let Repeal of the Corn-laws be your only watchword."—Willshire Inde. pendent of Thursday. HAMBURGLI MAIL.

WURZBURG, Nov. 5.—A part of Zeller's regiment of artillery in garrison here marched this morning to Landau, and some increase will take place in the army, which has been for some time wished for as a security against a possible aggression, recollecting what they suffered in the years 1795 to 1813—we mean with a view to the possibility of an attack from the other side of the Rhine.

A Court of Commissioners of Sewers for the West minster district was held in their Court-room yesterday After the general routine business had been disposed of The SOLICITOR read a copy of the information filed by the Attorney-General against certain of the Com missioners for levying for rates on the Queen's gardener in Kensington-palace. After a lengthened discussion, the order of last Court, that it should be laid before counsel, was ordered to be acted upon. Mr. E. MuLLuis then rose to move " That the form of the precept to the Sheriff to summon a Jury, and the proceedings consequent thereon, be taken into consideration." He said there were two valuations to be made, the gross valuation of which was not less than 50,0001., and that of property which never before had been assessed ; therefore it was of the utmost importance that the Court should duly deliberate upon every step they took ; it was the more important that they should proceed with proper consideration, because there were no less than 38 churches included in the valuations, and churches had never before been assessed. After the opinion which the Court had had from Sir W. Follett upon the ques tion, it was their duty to give full consideration to every step they took. Why should they depart from the words of the statute ? Were they to be at liberty to pick and choose what parts of it they would use? Were they to enforce that which suited them, and throw aside that other part which went against them ? He had four objections to the form of the precept—first, that it set out every parish and place within the jurisdiction of the Court, in many of which places they had never en tered ; secondly, that it commanded the Jury to in quire into all walls and sewers within the whole of the districts ; thirdly, he objected to calling upon the Sheriff to return any certain class of men. Why not fol low the statute, and call upon him to return " men of the shire," which would be freeholders of the county ? and, fourthly, he was of opinion that the Jury ought to be taken from the district to which the pre cept applied. He moved that in place of the precept on the table, one he gave in, calling upon the Sheriff to return a jury of the " men of the shire," be substituted. Mr. R. CHAMBERS would be most happy to second motion, if a few words were altered. Mr. LESLIE contended that they wanted neither common nor special juries. He wished them to act according to the full meaning of the statute of Henry VIII., and that, in his opinion was, that none other could serve upon a Jury in that Court, than a ' freeholder of the county. At the present moment when they were rating property which had not been rated for 300 or 400 years, and when so many objections were rising up against the Sewers' rate, it was the im perative duty of the Court to consider well the first step upon which all ulterior proceedings depended. He believed it would be a full answer to any demand for a rate, and he believed it would be a full answer by the Crown to their defence, to say that the presentment was no presentment at all, as it had not been made by such men ab were pointed out by the statute. In order to support his view of the case, he quoted from Callis and the Act of Parliament. Mr. WlLLoucirwr considered such a discussion as that among Commissioners of Sewers, who were of all grades and callings in life, was the utmost folly. The questions proposed were considered as so complicated as to be left to a small section, even in the profession of the law itself, viz. the Special Pleaders. Surely the time of the Commission might be more usefully employed than in such discussions, which among such a body were the height of presump• tion. There was nothing peculiar in the constitution of the Commission of Sewers to render a different Jury ne cessary for them than for a Quarter Sessions. However, he contended that Peel's Jury Act specially provided for the case, and under it, it was clear that jurymen qualified under that Act were qualified and liable to serve upon the Jury of Sewers. But he contended that the whole matter rested with the Sheriff, and he was obliged to select the jury from lists which were unal terable. He really thought further discussion was a mere waste of the time of the Court and of the public. He would certainly oppose any alteration in the form of the precept. Mr. ADEY would also oppose any alteration in a pre cept, which had been acted upon for 150 years, with out being once disputed. He was not willing to make any change for the mere sake of change ; but he would be most willing to change where it was proved any benfit would flow from it. He thought Peel's Act was a full answer to all that had been advanced on the other side. He could not but regret that the time of the Court should be so wasted as it was by one or two gentlemen bringing forward such new-fangled doctrines —doctrines Dever before heard in the Court, and not sanctioned by any other Commissioner ; at all events by not more than three or four out of the whole body. Would it not be much better if they were to confine themselves to the real business of the Commission— (Hear, hear, hear) —and continue to act tipmi the precept which had served their predecemrii and themselves for 150 years, without being th© cause of litigation. Mr. LESLIE wished to offer an amendment. The CHAIRMAN could R ot allow it to be offered at all. Mr. Leslie had already spoken to the question, and it would be against order for him again to address the Court, which he must do in proposing an amendment. He strongly apposed the motion. The present precept had been in use for such a period as to prove that it was legal, and only eighteen years ago the opinion of Mr. Sergeant Toddy was taken by the Commission, and he was fully satisfied with the form of the pre cept, even according to the Act of Henry VIII., chap, Having that, and the opinion of the sol;citors, wh o had given the subject their fullest consideration, and had come to the conclusion that the precept was good in point of law, he hoped the Commissioners would ad here to it. Mr. MuLLIN3 said gentlemen were much too anxious to spend and throw away the money of the Commission in taking Counsel's opinion ; they ought to make use of their common sense. 'rho motion was then put and lost—t 2 voting (Q,r an d 18 against it. The next business before the Court was "to sign a precept to the Sheriff of Middlesex to return a Jury to inquire into aticli things as shall be given them in charge (v 144, to present the persons and property liable to i4o rated to the Ranelagh and Counters Creek Districts.) Mr. LESLIE rose to move an amendment. He be lieved that Sergeant Taddy and the solicitors had only looked at the Factiee of the Court, and had totally over looked the Act of Parliament. It was clear that thy, Act specified who were to be the Jurors upoßre.4C.So pre sentment the inhabitants and owners ;,f Fat,perty were to be taxed.
