NOTICES OF MOTIONS. —CORN-LAWS. 1 Mr. VILLIERS, in consequence of a notice of the Hon. Member for Essex, of a motion relative to the 1 e.ffeirs of China, on the 12th of May, would postpone the motion of which be had given notice with respect to tho Core-laws front the I.2th to the 14th of May. EMIGRATION. Mr. S. O'BRIEN gave notice that he should brinr , i forward his em i grat i on reso l ut i ons on the 12th of May.° —(A laugh.) Mr'. HEAVE gave notice that on Tuesday next he wowd move for a Select Committee to inquire into the several , duties levi e d on imports,into the U n it e d Ki ng d om, am.; the nature of such duties ; also that he would move at an early period that an address should be presented to her MAjesty, praying her Majesty to order that there sllouM be laid before the House a copy of the Repor of the . commercial aff a i rs o f E gypt and Syria by Dr. Bowrmz; also that he would on Monday put a question tathe Secretary forForeignAffaire, if he could get him in the House—(A laugh) —with regard to the interference of the British Government with the affairs of Mehemet Ale and whether any orders had been issued by her Majesty's Ministers for reprisalsagainst Mehemet Ali, or the detention of two vesselsasrerrted in the papers, ae'd whether Ministers, or Lord i ns E o g n, p y t ,.had given arremdri.revetioiiebrelagtaivste to not th ic e e affair s o e that when the House re soleed itself intro Commi ttee on the 1: eellanc ous E sti _ 1 sautes he w ou ll aka a motion relative the proceed -44.0 of the Emigration Board. ilr. BARNEBY gave notic e that he Commissi oners that the retu rns o f t h e Poor -law would'nave tliade on the 37th of February last should be Laid before the Hsouse forthwith. Colonel WOOD begged leave to ask her Majesty's Ministers if they had any information to offer with re spect to the mode of rating stock-in-trade, and the course which parish officers were ordered to pursue in rating such property ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that Govern ment, as far as he was aware, did not propose to adopt any measure on the subject. As to the course which parish officers were to pursue he had only to say that no new law had been introduced by the Poor-law 'Commissioners, who merely ordered the enforcement of the 431 of Elizabeth. It was quite a mistake to suppose that there had her-n any new law framed. Ever since the 46th of Elizabeth personal property had been liable to be rated, thought for general convenience it had been held better to rate only real property. The amount of the rate was not increased, only the mode of apportionment would be al' ered. Colonel T. WOOD was anxious to know from the Learned Gentleman whethe r it was trurt that rates would b e h e ld i nva li d which did not include personal property. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, said the Court of Queen's Bench had held that rates would be inv alid which did not include Stoek-in-T ra ,l e , b ut that wa s no n e w law. The law had always b een to that effect. WEST INDIA MAILS. Mr. FRESHFIELD wished to ask the Chancel lor of the Exchequer whether a new port of departure for the West India Mails had been agreed upon, and, as a mere negation to that question would not satisfy his constituents, he begged further to ask whether the deputation of Cornish Members who had waited upon the Right Hon. Gentleman, had correctly understood him to state that the Government would not decide on the question until information had been obtained from disinterested parties ; that oppor tunity would be given to the different ports to support their own case, and that instructions to the Commissioners would be laid on the table of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his communication was, that it was the intention of the Government, connected with the Navy and the Post office, and utterly uninfluenced by the interests of the different ports, to inquire and to report to the Govern ment, and as soon as instructions had been issued they would be laid on the table. One of the Commissioners appointed was Sir James Gordon ; another was the Assistant-Secretary to the Post-office ; and the third was a gentleman connected with the mercantile marine ; and their instructions would be framed by the Admiralty, and referred to the Treasury. Mr. FRESHFIELD asked if the different ports would be able to state their own case before the Com missioners ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Hon. Gentleman might rely upon it that every port would have full opportunity of representing its own case, but the instructions were not framed ; when they were, he would have no objection to lay them be fore the House. The ports to which the inquiry woud apply were Falmouth , Devonport, Plymouth, South ampton, and Portsmouth. Mr. G. W. HOPE inquired whether the question relative to Jersey would also be referred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied that when those gentlemen were appointed he should call for their opinion on that particular point. MENAI BRIDGE. An HONOURABLE MEMBER OR the Opposition side of the House asked whether the Under Secre tary for the Home Department had seen a letter in the Morning Herald, addressed by Lord Western to Lord Melbourne, relative to the perilous state of Menai Bridge, and whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to take any steps with respect to it. Mr. F. MAULE could give no information on the subject. He did not read the Morning Herald, but be would make inquiry into the matter. NAPLES. Lord MA HON seeing the Noble Lord the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs in his place, wished to ask him whether any official intelligence had been received of those measures of reprisal which, as the House was in formed on a previous occasion, had been directed to be taken against the Government of Naples. Lord PALMERSTON had received, yesterday, a despatch, dated the 17th of April, stating that reprisals had commenced, and that the Hydra was then in the Bay of Naples. MAINE BOUNDARY. Mr. HUME begged to ask whether her Majesty's Government were now able to state in what condition the negociations respecting the Maine Boundary were ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I have some doubt how far it is consistent with my duty to answer the question which the Hon. Gentleman has just put to me ; but as, no doubt, th ere i s cons i derable anxiety upon the sub ject, and as papers upon the subject have been pub blished in the United States, I think it would be desir able to give a general outline of the state in which the question at present stands between the United Stet s and this country relative to the Maine boundary. The House will recollect I stated there were two very dis tinct questions, the one was the general question of the boundary, arising out of the treaty of 1783, and the treaty of Ghent ; and the other was with respect to the interpretation of our agreement for the sake of pre serving jurisdiction and possession undisturbed by the two parties made in the course of the spring of 1839. With respect to the former part of the subject, a pro position was made by my Noble Friend the Secretary fo'r Foreign Affairs, in the name of the Government, last year, and the reply to that was a counter proposition of a totally different nature being made by the Govern ment of the United States. At the same time Com missioners were appointed by the Government of Great Britain, who had surveyed the disputed country, and had arrived in this country in January last. Their Report was received only a few days ago, it contains matter of very considerable importance, and is now un der the consideration of the Government, and an answer will immediately be returned to the last proposition made by the Government of the United States, inform ing them how far we can fall in with the proposition they last made. That is the only answer I can give at present upon that branch of the subject. With respect to the question relating to the provisional agreement of last year, it is unfortunate that it is upon it—almost entirely upon it—that recent difficulties have arisen. It is certainly most unfortunate that there should have been this disagreement not only upon the general question, but also upon the agreement entered into between Sir J. Harvey and General Scott—it is most unfortunate that that agreement should also be the object of difference and disagreement between the two countries. I beg to state, as I think it necessary to inform the House, one or two points upon which both the Governor of New Brunswick and the Governor-General of North America, as also the Commander of the Forces, thought the spirit of that agreement was not fulfilled on the part of the American Government. The agree ment proposed by General Scott, and agreed to by Sir J. Harvey and the Governor of Maine, was, that Great Britain should hold the valley of Upper St. John, and Maine that of the Aroos took, without it being conceded that the right was in either. Unfortunately the agreement did not state the exact position in which the jurisdiction of either party was to remain, That agreement was offered by General Scott on the 21st March, it was agreed to by Sir J. Harvey on the 23d March, and by the Gover nor of Maine on the 25th. Sir J. Harvey in his de spatch to Lord Glenelg, stated these facts—that was the statement made to the Government of Great Bri tain, and it was borne out by the following words of the Governor of the state of Maine : " Under such circumstances the Governor certainly did not intend to send any parties beyond the waters of the Aroostook river, but to employ them merely in guard ing the timber on the river, and so as to give the least possible ground of complaint." Sir John Harvey ob served " that his understanding of the agreement, and he would unhesitatingly venture to state that of General Scott, was, that things should remain in the state they then were, Great Britain remaining in possession of the Valley of Upper St. John, while the Governor of Maine denied its right to hold it." Such having been the under standing of Sir John Harvey, and such being the re presentations he made to Lord Glenelg, and in conse quence of which the Government of this country ex pressed its approbation of the agreement he had made. It afterwards appeared late in the autumn that the per sons belonging to this civil posse of Maine, had ad vanced into the Valley of Upper St. John, and bad es tablished themselves in a position where the Fish River falls into the St. John, called the Mouth or Confluence of the St." John and the Fish River. But with regard to what was done by the people of Maine, there was no better authority than the Governor of the State of Maine, " there has been a good deal of additional labour and expense in building additional fortifications on the Aroos took, two block-houses on the Fish River, and making 100 miles of road through the heart of the forest." Now with regard to the party which had ad vanced into the Valley of Upper St. John, it con sisted of only twenty or thirty individuals, armed with guns and a field-piece, which they fired off in token of taking possession. In consequence of these proceedings there were remonstrances made by Mr. Fox to the Government of the United States, and it not appearing that there was likely to be any effectual check put to these proceedings, the Governor of the British North American Provinces in concert with the Com mander of the Forces, has-advanced two Companies of Infantry to a place certainly within the disputed boundary. In the reppesentations made on the part of the United States, there certainly must have been some oversight on the part of the Governor of Maine in his communications to the Secretary of State for the United States, in not adverting to that point, but merely referring to another part of the agreement in which it was stated that they had done nothing to disturb the Madawaska settlement. They confined the limits of the Madawaska settlement within a very restricted boundary, while we contend that it extend s to the Fish river.--( Hear, hear, hear.) This is another part of the agreement. The ambiguity of the term " Madawaska settlement" had occasioned a disagreement as to the construction of the original words made use of in the agreement between the Go vernor starnorotfe New Brunswick and the Governor of of the last accountlslairnee; ived Hoe. f •c ro v n e l r, th ae a c t ord c i o n u g ntr t y o , it does not appear that Maine entertains any intention of g been oig b e given n ih ahas suchliit h i e s ritiol the opinion I n h t a e v r e . tained on this subject by those on the spot, and I believe that it is also the opinion of the Governor of New Bruns wick that the t wo part i es will remain in their present posi tion, and that there is, I will not saynopo t s a si k h i i n lity, l but certainly no prob a bili ty of any collision between the adver se p art i es. —(Hear, hear.) Lacche ray duty to write to the Govern or o f B r i t i sh America, and to the Commander of the Forces in that country, to state my opinion that it would be exceedingly desirable, if any ambiguity existed in the instrument agreed upon between the Governor of New Bruswick and the Go vernor of Maine, in order to avoid any chance of collisio n between the adverse parties, that the exact geographical position at present occupied by each party should be distinctly ascertained and made the foundation o f a fresh agreement. Gove:nor Thomson coincided with me in opinion on this paint, and in obedience to my wishe s h e sent to t h e American Government to mak e Such a proposal, adding, which is a matter of great im portance, and of which I entirely approve, a proposition that Commissioners should be appointed on each side THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1840. to see that such agreement should be fairly carried into effect. Such is an outline of the state of affairs at pre sent between the two countries—no doubt it implies that differences of an unpleasant nature have occurred between the two countries on this question of the boundary, but when I consider how much both countries are interested in the preservation of peace—(Hear, and cheers)—the great responsibility that will be incurred by whichever country shall have unnecessarily recourse to hostilities—(Cheers)—l trust and believe that peace will not be interrupted, but that the whole will end in a formal and amicable settle ment of all existing differences.—(Cheers.) A Message from the Lords brought down certain Bills. CANADA. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that looking to the precedents having any analogy to the Bill for the go vernment of Canada, it appeared that no precedents bearing exactly upon the point in question were in ex istence—but looking to the analogy of those cases which the most nearly resembled it, he was of opinion that it was necessary to obtain the vote of a Committee of the whole House on the subject before the House could agree to the clause relating to the Civil List, and to the appropriation of revenue for forming such Civil List. Under those circumstances, he would move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee on Monday se'nnight, for the purpose of considering the clause of the Bill relatin; to the charge of the Civil Goverment of Upper and Lower Canada.—Agreed to. MASTERS OF THE COURT OF EXCHE- QUER. Mr. BLAKE wished to put a question to the Noble Lord Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, relative to the appointment of Masters in the Court of Exchequer. It was understood to be the intention of Government to abolish the equity side of the Court of Exchequer, and to give compensation to those who held employments there. He had been informed, however, that a vacancy had lately occurred in the Court in question, and that it had since been filled up by the appointment of the Hon. It. C. Scarlett. He wished to know whether that ap pointment had been made with the sanction of Govern ment, and whether it was intended that Mr. Scarlett should also receive a compensation when his office would be abolished ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that wtih regard to the first question of the Hon. Member, the Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, had the right when a vacancy occurred to fill it up without consulting her Majesty's Government. With regard to the Bill now before Parliament, it was intended to transfer one of the Masters of the Court of Ex chequer, viz., Mr. Richards, to the Court of Chancery, and to provide compensation for the others. He had, however, no hesitation in saying that it was not the intention of Government to include Mr. Scarlett among those to whom compensation should be given. The dropped Orders were then disposed of. On the order for the committal of the Grammar Schools Bill, Sir E. WILMOT moved that it be referred to a Se lect Committee.—Agreed to. Mr. It. GORDON wished the House now to pro ceed to Committee of Supply—the Dropped Order, when the House had been counted out. Mr. GOULBURN objected. Mr. HUME said the strict rule was against it, but the House could decide either way, and he saw no ob jection to going on with the Estimates. Mr. GOULBURN thought it would be best to ad here to the general rule of sufficient notice. He cer tainly had been informed that the Committee would not come on, and he had been taken by surprise. After a few words from Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr. GORDON moved that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of Supply for the purpose of bringing on the Miscellaneous Estimates. The SPEAKER put the question, which being met by a cry of " No," strangers were ordered to withdraw but no division took place, it having been arranged dur ing our absence from the gallery that the Miscellaneous Estimates should come on upon Monday next. We also understood that the Budget was postponed from Friday till Monday week. The Insolvent Debtors Bill was read a third time and passed. On the Exchequer Bills Bill being moved for a second reading, Mr: HUME said he hoped it would be postponed, and proper notice given of it, for he intended to make a proposition to take from the Chancellor of the Exche quer the power he had enjoyed for a long time of bor bowing from the Bank when and how much he pleased. The Bill was then read a second time. The Soap Duties Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on this day week, CHIMNEY SWEEPERS' BILL. Mr. F. MAULE moved the second reading o his Bill. Lord ASHLEY brought up a large bundle of peti tions in favour (he said) of the Government Bill.— (A laugh.) Lord R. GROSVENOR also presented a number of petitions to the same effect. Mr. HAWES objected to the clause prohibiting the use of boys at all in ascending chimneys.—(Mr. F. Maule, " The best clause of the Bill.")—Yes, but new chimneys required the flues to be examined. Mr. F. MAULE—The Bill does not prohibit that. Bill read a second time. SHERIFFS' SUBSTITUTE. _ In answer to a question from Sir G. SINCLAIR, The LORD ADVOCATE stated that the ques tion relative to the remuneration of the Sheriffs' Sub stitute was under the consideration of the Government. The House adjourned at Twenty Minutes Past Six o'Clock till Monday. HAMBURGH MAIL. BRUNSWICK, Arum 22.—The plan which has been communicated to the Estates to issue paper money to the amount of 600,000 dollars, notwithstanding all that may be said in its favour, is by no means generally ap proved by the public. HANOVER, APRIL 26.—Yesterday an express brought ;he melancholy news of the death of the Mi nister of War, General Count Von Alten. He had ob tained leave of absence for a year to recover his health, in the mild climate of Southern Italy. Unhappily he did not live to return home. The body is to be brought to Hanover. Count Von Alten must have been in his 70th year. We hear nothing of his successor to the office of Minister of War. Since his absence the duties of the office have been performed by Lieutenant Count Von Kielmansegge. HANOVER, APRIL 21.—The account of the revenue for the financial years, 1838 and 1839, proves to be extremely favourable. The receipts amounted to 6,566,138 rixdollars, and the expenditure to 5.591,850 rixdollars, being an olerplus of 984,288 rixdollars. The King's rescript to the Assembly of the Estates, (listed 28th May, 1839, proposed that the surplus re venue of the years 1838 and 1839, which was assumed to be 200,000 dollars, with all other sums of the re venue of that year that might be disposable, should be applied to the payment of the public debt, and the State declared, on the 20th June, 1839, their concur rence :n this proposal. An extraordinary grant of 280,000 rixdollars for the increase of 1837 and 1838 has been applied to the payment of the public debt, and also the above sum of 984,288, from the surplus of 1838 and 1839, in all 1,260,000 rixdollars. WARSAW, APRIL 6.—The English mission for the conversion of the Jews, consisting partly of English mis sionaries, partly of German mysticks, who held meet ings here, have had their assemblies forbidden, and all preaching prohibited. It is notorious that these pious gentlemen, during the war and afterwards, suf fered themselves to be employed as spies, and did much mischief by their denunciations. They are now hum bled by the hand that they served. We must, how ever, do justice to the English company. The system of espionage was the act of individual members, and was not even known in London. The most guilty persons are Germans, and among them several con verted Jews, by whose conversion, therefore, not much is gained. FRENCH JUSTICE.—An action was tried a few days ago before the Tribunal of Commerce, Paris, in which Messrs. Rowland and Son, London, of Macassar Oil ce:ebrity, were plaintiffs, and Messrs. Gueland, Messier, and Amaret, in Paris, were defendants. Messrs. Rowland complained that the defendants had, in order to ensure a sale for a composition, which they also called Macassar Oil, imitated their bottles and labels, and thus injured the reputation of the genuine article, and diminished its sale. The Tribunal, deciding that foreigners trading with France were entitled to protection against a fraud of this description, sentenced the defendants, who sold the Ma cassar Oil bearing false labels, to pay 600 fr. each, and 500 fr. for every new contravention of which they may be guilty ; and ordered other defendants, who were the manufacturers of the bottles and printers of the labels, to deliver none of the same description without the authority of Messrs. Rowland. The Tribunal, in giving its judgment in this case, mentioned, among the motives of its decision, that a foreigner, bringing into France either a manufacture or manufactured objects, ought to receive the same protection as a French subject; that, in the present instance, it was necessary to secure to the plaintiffs, not only their property, but also their commercial name, which no one else had the right to make use of : that good faith and equity were of all countries, and that the Tribunal could not suffer the public to be deceived by speculations, which good faith and equity alike condemned ; and, in fine, that it was of importance for foreign traders in France to receive that pro tection from the French laws, which it was to be hoped French traders would, in return, meet with in other countries. TAGLIONI.—Maria Taglioni was born at Stockholm on the 23d of April, 1809. Her father is an Ita lian, her mother a Swede. The name is a celebrated one on the Italian stage, several rrtists bearing it with much distinc tion, but it is chiefly indebted for its fame to the great dancer, who has dethroned the ci-derant Terpsichore of the Paris Academie Royale, and upon whose aerial pedestal such an abundance of flowers, wreaths, and incense has been offered for ten years past. Karstein, Taglioni's maternal grandfather, was the Telma of Sweden, and not only an able tragic actor, but likewise a very remarkable singer. Gustavus 111., who THE CHILD OF MYSTERY ; OR, ERNESTINE. loved him much, appointed him his Court Secretary.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—To-day, being the Ist of May, was a close holiday at the Bank and Stock Exchange. However, among private transaction s a feature was a further ad vance in the price of Great Western, which were ac tually done at 22, to :21 - premium. There was a good demand for bills upon Amsterdam to. day, and the rate of Exchange was rather lower than last post. Paper on Paris was rather offering, and the price advanced a little. Hamburgh remained the same as on Tuesday. It appears by the revenue accounts of 1839, just published, the amount of duty received for corn im ported into England and Scotland was 1,101,0001., while in 1838, as appears by a reference to the same accounts for that year, the amount received was only 187,0001., and hence it appears that all the advantage apparent in the return of the revenue for the year 18:39 is owing entirely to th e i mportat i ons o f grain, and owes nothing to an improvement in the general trade of the country. It is a common practice among city politicians, when there is a prospect of a war, to speculate and start theo ries as to the best mode of carrying it on. At the pre sent time, while a war with China is the continual theme, they have not dep ar t e d f rom the usual practice, but indulge in various conjectures and even suggestions as to the way in which the Chinese may be most effi ciently coerced. Two modes arc spoken of—a blockade of the coast, and the seizure of adjacent islands, and, from a combination of these, favourabl e results are anticipated. It is said, that for a blockade, a strong fleet must be in operation, as half blockade would be a mere useless and extravagant waste of money. Tne ports besides Can ton which it is said should be blockaded are Hyamen, Foutecheion, Ningpho, Tchangtcheon, Tchaoking, and uhanghei. The blockade of Tchangtcheon is con sidered as particularly imperative, as the Spaniards from Manilla arc said to have an exclusive right to export and import there. Amoy is considered to be the island which could be the easiest fortified and best held. One main principle of attack, which seems ge nerally admitted, is to make the capital itself feel the weight of the blow. A convulsion there is thought probable if that should be the case, as the Emperor is subject to the reprehension of his subjects, and even holds himself responsible for all famines, earthquakes, and other national calamities, upon the happening of which he publicly accuses himself of having irritated Heaven by some misconduct, and goes through a penance accordingly. According to well. credited descriptions of China, it appears that the Emperor, on days of eclipses, is bound to fast and confess the faults of his Ministers, and some, arguing from these authorities, think it not impossible that, on the occasion of the next eclipse, some of " Commissioner Lin's" measures may be repudiated. Another chance looked forward to is that of splitting the empire, and thus exciting a warfare between the two great parties in it. Whatever be adopted, all agree that a sudden, strong, and lasting impression must be made. Of course these considerations leave entirely out of view the abstract policy and justice of the war in which England is about to engage, which seldom fall within the scope of our civic political lucubrations. They tend most commonly to the practical part of the warlike operations, and the readiest means of accomplishing the end desired, and in that sense only do such disquisitions as these deserve any attention.

MAY DAY.--May Day was formerly a grand festival for all ranks and conditions of the people. One of the oldest customs was that of " Maying," which consisted in per sons of all classes going into the woods early in the morning, returning laden with garlands, and spending the remainder of the day dancing round the may-pole crowned with flowers. The poor chimney-sweeps in London are permitted, this one day in the year, to put off their sooty garbs and have a holiday. They formerly assembled early in the morning, covered with garlands of flowers, knots of ribands, their jackets bedizened with gilt paper, and their faces and legs grotesquely coloured with Dutch pink. Their parties were always presided over by a " Lord" and " Lady" roost magnificently attired, who led off the dance with much burlesque gracefulness. Latterly, the observance of the day by that degraded class has been turned to a better purpose; they are assembled together, kindly enter tained, and presented with suitable presents, and means are employed to better their moral and religious condition. We need not point out the contrast. DON CARLOS AT BOURGES.—The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Paris, dated April 19th, stating that Don Carlos persists in refusing to receive any pecuniary assistance from the King of the French, although his funds were lately so far exhausted that he was nearly unable to par the expenses of his household, which is on a very economical footing. In this embarrassment he is said to have received bills to the amount of 30,000 f. from a western Power. The writer adds that Don Carlos is expected soon to leave Bourges for Blaye, and, consequently, that the chance of his liberation is become more distant. The intrigues of his party in the Basque provinces are said to be the cause of his very properly continued detention. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c. &c. &c. DOCKS. " "t4 } 3n c.

DEATH OF GENERAL HORSFORD.--This gallant and highly respected veteran, whose services to his country are so well known, died in Paris on Tuesday, at the age of 73. He has left a widow, four daughters, and one son, who is in the rifle brigade. The funeral was to be strictly pri vate, but Lord Aylmer and other Englishmen had expressed a wish to pay the last honours to the departed warrior and re signed Christian. Above a tbousana_of the female inhabitants of Elgin have signed an address to the Queen in favour of non intrusion. .Whoever suspected the ladies of being intruders? LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 1.

The population as enumerated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths re gistered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis increases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been one 27th part more numerous.

PRIVILEGE OF PAYING COUNSEL 11—In the Sheriffs' Court in the City, yesterday, just as a cause bad ter minated, and a verdict had been given, Mr. Gurney, one of the Barristers practising in that Court, entered, when the solicitor for the plaintiff, who had conducted the case, was directed by Mr. Sergeant Arabin to pay the amount of the fee usual! given to counsel, to Mr. Gurney. The latter gentleman, hor ever, expressed his unwillingness to accept the money, as he had not been engaged in the cause ; upon which Mr. Sergeant Arabin said he must insist upon the Learned Counsel's taking the fee " for the honour of the Court," as he was present at the opening of the Court, and was entitled to be engaged. It W" his (Mr. Arabin's) fault that the cause came on before eleven o'clock. The fee was then paid to Mr. Gurney.
