The Sun. — London, England, 1840-12-15 00:00:00

EVENING EDITION:, THE CHINA SUN. Tut CRINA SUN.—The enterprising proprietor of The Sun has added another to the many laurels which he has acquired. We have before us The China Sun, published on the 2d instant. It gives the public what was really much wanted, a complete and ac curate map of that immense empire, with an admirable and graphie, historical, and statistical account of the past and present state, strength, and resources thereof. Had we not previously been cognizant of the wonders done by Mr. Young in connection with printing, we could not have believed it possible that the im mense number to be " worked off" could be prods ced so perfectly distinct and clear, notwithstanding the extreme difficulty:attending the striking off of the map. There is, in short, more useful and amusing information offered by The. China Sun, for the charge of Gd., than could, in the ordinary way, be obtained for ten or twenty times that amount, if, indeed, it could be had at all in any one publication. The present effort is worthy of those before made by the able, liberal, and independent journal in question ; and we Mist that public support will amply repay the enterprising pro. prietor for the euormons outlay he must have incurred.—Cork Southern Reporter. The China Sun will materially elucidate the important intelli gence received by the overland mail, and furnish the public with in. firmation which is doubly interesting at the present crisic—Not gingham Rerietn. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols. T HE NEW ROMANCE OF MILITARY LIFE. " THE COKS-13111ATORS:" By CAPTAIN QUILLINAN. " This highly exciting work is not one story, novel, or romance, but a series of stories, having this single link of anion, that they all present some phasis of that Philadelphian eons ,iracy which existed agahot Napoleon in the ranks of the French army, and made him grow pale and tremble in the very noontide of his lower. In the first story, the Philadelphian brother is a French Colonel, and a strange mixture of the sen timentalist, the sensualist, the ruffian; and the hero is Auguste Chapelmonde. The story in which he figures, The Sisters of the Douro, is, in our judgment, the most exciting story of the day. We never laid the volume down till we had completed its perusal. The scene of the next story, entitled The Royalist. is laid in Switzerland. Ilofer, the Tyrolese patriot, is intro duced, and tl.e national peculiarities of the people of those mountain regions are excessively well pourtrayed. The third story, The Man without a Name, is rather an historical sketch of the Philadelphian Conspiracy than a tale, but it will be read with deep interest. It is full of curious, and, to a majority of English readers, we suspect, novel information. We recom mend' The Conspirators' as the most agreeable series of talcs that has appeared this season."—Conservative Journal. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

ZT)ie ~Itll+ LONDON : TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1840. We have received most extraordinary news from Constantinople, dated the 27th ult. It was af firmed there that the Porte persisted in carrying cut the sentence of deposition pronounced against MEnEmET ALI, and that on no conditions what ever would the SULTAN permit him to retain the administration of Egypt. This is the more extra ordinary, as the Porte had received the news of the fall of St. Jean d'Acre, and the probable submis sion of the VICEROY. The remonstrance of Lord PALMERSTON against the deposition of MEHEMET ALI, had occupied the Divan for several days ; but instead of paying any other regard to it, the Porte after removing IZZET PACHA from the nominal government of Acre anti Egypt, appointed in his stead ZEKERIA PACHA Commander of the Turkish forces in Asia Minor. This obstinacy, on the part of the SULTAN, if persisted in, cannot but prove embarrassing to Lord PALMERSTON. The hostility of the Porte to the VICEROY was at tributed, in Constantinople, to the personal in trigues of Lord PONSONBY ; but it is much more likely to be owing to the crooked policy of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. But to whatever cause the resolution of the Porte to depose the VICEROY be attributable, we need hardly apprise,our readers that England will never consent to such a measure. We have guaranteed the hereditary government of Egypt to MEHEMET ALI, and shall certainly not co-operate with the SULTAN in any attempt to deprive him of it. And were the Porte mad enough, now that peace _has been restored, to take advantage of the restoration of the fleet to carry war into Egypt, it m i g h t oecome a question with the Great Powers who have already done so much for Turkey, whether the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire was not perfectly compatible with a very diffetent state of things at Constantinople. But a change of Ministry was much talked of, and the appearance of new faces in the Divan will afford the SULTAN a sufficient pretext for acceding with a good grace to Lord PALMER STON'S recommendation of the VICEROY. Several cases have, of late, been brought before the public, of tyrannical conduct in landowners, who have used their right of property to coerce the votes and the consciences of their tenants, and those by whose labours they obtain their rent, and everything else they enjoy. That they have thereby converted that right into a nuisance to others, and have weakened it, or even endangered its existence, is more their look-out than ours, though we must. remind them it is established for the advantage of the whole community ; and if they so use it as to make it a public injury, they will bring it into question, and, perhaps, cause it to be abrogated. There is no longer a single part of society tabooed against public investigation ; Church, religion, Government, are all exposed to the prying glances of the multitude ; the rights of the landowners can not escape, and if, by a tyrannical course of pro ceedings, they make it publicly evident that their rights ate hostile to civil and religious freedom, they will soon have to defend their property from the attacks they provoke. Some persons are pleased with broils ; ease secured by the labour of others, and opulence conferred without toil, have, probably, become distasteful to the landowners, and tlic) wish, like their ancestors, to fight for their pos. sessions. Having given them this hint, we shall now refer .o the individual cases which have been lately, that is, within the last fortnight, brought under the public notice. The first is that of Lord MoN TAGUE, the uncle to the Duke of BUCCLEUGII, and the owner of some property in Beaulieu, Hamp shire. lie has addressed a manifesto, so styled, to his serfs or tenants, and after professing a great respect for the rights of conscience, as all those pro fess who mean to violate them, he declares " that he will not allow any building belonging to him, to be used for instruction in any form of religion different from that of the Established Church, as taught in his own schools." But by any building he means a budding not in his own occupation, for he goes on to tell his tenants in plain words, that if they wish to continue in the occupation of these build ings, w hich they hire of him for an adequate con sideration, they must discontinue their schools, if different from those of the established priesthood. Hera then, we find a landowner using his light of property to promote what his dissenting tenants consider a false religion, a remnant of superstition-- a religion which they regard as endangering their after life, and rendering their present life vicious and unhappy. Surely the right of property is not established for any such purpose. Lord MONTAGUE lives in England. We next turn to Ireland. For a long time the Orangemen have called the soil of that country Protestant, and have claimed a right of using it to starve the Ca , tholics, if they can. Our Teaders know that in LONLON, TUESDAY, DITEMBER 15. 1810. r former times that soil was more than once violently confiscated, and latterly it was confiscated on con dition that its owners should rear or convert the natives into Protestants. True to this vil lanous origin of their right, the Orangemen laboured, by all kinds of tyranny, to extirpate the Catholics, but they only degraded them, and made them increase the faster. Exposed to numerous oppressions and privations, the Catholics lived humbly, laboured hard, and paid high rents. Tempted by these, the Orangemen, who were ready to immolate others though they could not sacrifice the smallest conveniency of their own, leased their Protestant land to Catholic tenants. But the Catholic priests continued to influence the tenantry, and as these grew numerous, and obtained a little property, they got political power, and in some cases thwarted and defeated the views of their landlords. This was not to be borne, and the owners of the Protestant soil have begun on a systematic plan to get rid of their Catholic tenants. In those cases where it is impossible to extirpate the tenants, because the whole population are Catholics, the landlords have resolved to have none but tenants at will, and so deprive the Catholics of political power. In other cases, as in Fermanagh, where there arc Protestants, Sir ARTHUR BROOKE, amongst others, has declared that he will not let any land to Catholics, when he can find Protestant tenants. In Ireland, then, the right of property, intended for the good of all, is used to depress in sult, and starve the bulk of the population. Now comes Scotland. The Dungries Times of yesterday week contains the report of a dinner given by Sir W. MAXWELL to his tenantry at Monreith, in Wigtonshire, when Sir WILLIAM said If any of his tenantry could not go along with him in po litics, he would just say that while their leases lasted he would live in friendship with them, but he would not let alarm upon which there was a vote to any person who could not or stould not go along with him." To make quite sure, he added that he was to have a voice in the vote of his te nants, and the tenant ought to consult him. In fact, Sir W. MAXWELL will not take hereafter a tenant who will not pledge himself to give his vote to Sir WILLIAM'S friends and party. He means to abuse the right of property to coerce every person who pays him rent for permission to till the ground, into political servility. He says in plain terms, that he will employ it to establish a control ove r the political opinions and political consciences of men, and compel them to act, if he cannot com pel them to think, as he wishes. Such a project is manifestly at variance with the public security and public advantage, for which the right of property iv established, and which Sir WILLIAM and his friends expose to hazard by using it to perpetrate a public wrong. We could quote more instances of similar con luct, but we content ourselves with these, all recent —the press yet ringing with them—one from each great portion of the empire—to show how landlords use their right of property in every place. In all these cases the landowners are Tories, but it such conduct be exhibited by Whigs they shall meet from us with an equally stern reproof. We can condemn these Tory landlords consistently and with a good conscience, but we know not, except for a mere party interest, why those journals should con demn it which were silent when a right of voting— established like a right of property for the public advantage—was used, as in the case of Mr. HAR MER, to coerce and punish opinions, or which joined in the wolfish howl that was uttered against him. The conduct of the landlords is of a piece with that brutal intolerance which excluded Mr. HA R- M ER, and found Mr. HETHERINGTON guilty. In all of these cases the intolerants have used a right or a power created by the law for the public advantage, to gain a superiority for their own opinions, and expose other men to contumely or to punishment for presuming to differ from them. We are not surprised, however, like some of our Contemporaries, at the proceedings of the land owners. We believe them capable of anything. The men who will deliberately, with contrivance and malice, starve a single human being, much less hundreds and thousands of human beings, every year, in order, as they most mistakingly suppose, to put money into their own pockets, will commit any wickedness. We are, however, surprised that those who have manfully and honourably ex posed this wickedness of the landlords, should now say so much about their comparatively most _ . trifling invasions of the tenants' rights. Is this another exemplification of the manner in which not only the laws are made to benefit some classes, hut public opinion is actually perverted to think only of the few and disregard the many? The te nants belong to the middle classes, only the lower classes are actually starved, and it is, we must admit, consistent with the whole course of the na tional policy, and with the stream of public opinion, to make a great outcry if but a little finger be laid on the former, and to be silent even when the latter are slowly and most painfully starved out of exist ence. The multitude, ask for a Parliament and a press of their own, because they never receive justice from the Parliament of the upper classes, nor find sympathy in their press. There is another consideration which shows that the middle classes arc much interested in the coer cion of the tenants' votes. The manufacturers and merchants arc deeply injured by the Corn-law. They are impoverished, and their trade is impeded. In Scotland the tenantry understand that the Corn law is a landlords' question ; and if the landlords cannot coerce the tenants' votes, they may send to Parliament Corn-law repealers. The tenants, then, must be coerced for a more substantial interest, as is supposed, than the mere success of a party ; they must be coerced to maintain the bread tax against their interests and their consciences; they must be coerced to vote for the continuance of the the landlords' plunder, and maintain by law a stealthy Thug system of robbery and murder. The landlords' power to filch away the property of other men can only be preserved by a complete tyranny, of which the coercion of the middle classes, who have votes, is a part. There is a somewhat remarkable coincidence be tween the liberal lovers of war on the other, and the anti-liberal haters of freedom and lovers of corruption and tyranny on this, tide of the ehannel.TheNational, the great mouth-piece of the fighters, reproaches M. GUIZOT and the partizans of peace with a " stupid worship of material interests." That journal requires that the immaterial interests of glory and renown, to be obtained by crush ing the material interests of shopkeepers, labourers, and farmers, be the airy basis of the national policy. What ar e woun d e d , maimed, and tortured bodies, perishing, like an other Moscow army, in the midst of snow, hunger, fire, and execrations ? What are mangled car casses of men and animals blown up, as at Acre, and covering the earth with a heap of quivering bodies ? What are deserted wives and forsaken chil dren ou s e debasementorhospital, osiii starving by the highway, or thrown into a work to endure worse than d eat h i n t h e utterof the mind and heart w hi c h i s there engendered, but-vulgar material interests, which those who think of the immaterial interests of great renown, and who aspire to glory and promotion, to plunder and the Marshal's staff, may and ought to despise ? In like manner, vihat are the incarcerations of JOHN THOROGOQD and Mr. BA INES , t h e s h utt i ng up i n gao l o f a ll who object to pay Church-rates, and the quarrels which they cause i n a l most ever y p ar i s h, compare d to the immaterial interests of the Church ? Study the Post, look into the Herald, read the Standard, and there you will continually find, as in the pages of the National, that the political eco nomists, and the liberal politicians, the advo cates of free trade, are continually derided for a " stupid worship of material interests." There is, according to all these journalists, some shadowy grandeur, some sublime elevation of soul, some mystical kind of adoration, whether it be of the Church or of royalty, or of the aristocracy, which is far superior to the vulgar material interests of flesh and blood. The plain truth is, that these material interests are growing too strong for the lovers of war and the lovers of ty ranny. Peace is preferred to glory in France— full bellies and warm clothing to the adoration of the priesthood and the aristocracy in England. The material interests upset the fine theories and dash ing prophesies of the Tories and the•Napoleonists, and they are obliged, in both countries, to take re fuge in mysticism. They are against material in terests, because material intcrests are against them. The world begins to know arid disown them, and the exposed and defeated charlatans and impostors ate obliged, as a last resource, to deride the solid interests of mankind, and hold up to love and vene ration the phantoms of their own crazy brains. It is with mingled feelings of sorrow and shame we refer to the correspOndence between Mr. DUN comlis, the Member for Finsbury, and Mr. TOOKE, the Treasurer to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The proceedings reflect great disgrace upon the officers of the Society, for which the Co►mittee must come in for a share, . if they do not take some more fitting - steps than they have hitherto done, to mark their high displeasure against those servants of the Society, who, under the cloak of piety, and for a sinister purpose, attempt to undermine the political interest of the most con sistent, straightforward, and liberal Member in the House of Commons. When we heard last year that Mr. TOOKE would be put forward for the bo rough of Finsbury on the ground that he was a pious man (thereby casting a stigma on the sitting Members), we charitably believed that Mr. TOOKE was a stranger to any such scheme, and if our me mory serves us right, an announcement to that effect appeared in the papers. It is now, however, beyond doubt—nay, more, it is proved--that he used the influence he possessed as Treasurer ; and it is farther asserted that he denied this fact also. In deed we must take this for granted, as Mr. TOOKE declined meeting the direct charge made by Mr. DUNCOMBE ; and the Committee, who are " to his faults a little blind," most religiously avoid the slightest allusion to the assertion that "he had ' solemnly denied at a meeting of the General Committee that there teas any truth in the charges." We leave Mr. TOOKE and the electors of Finsbury to settle this point between them, with this caution to the latter, and to electors in gene ral, not to believe one word said by a candidate who claims their support on the plea of piety. But there are other parties implicated as well as the pious Treasurer. No wonder that Mr. CoATEs fought. shy of Mr. DuNcoNtse, well knowing that he was an accomplice, and that he had presented the requisition at Mr. Toole. E's request to the tradesmen employed by the Society. If the Com mittee wink at such conduct, they will bring usefti and pious knowledge into utter contempt—they will give a handle to the enemies of liberal opinions, and the diffusion of education, which will be most unmercifully used, and they will forfeit all credit for candour and disinterestedness in their endeavours to dispel the darkness of ignorance. This disclo sure will affect also another institution, and make the public suspect that there may hive been jobbing there also, and pious frauds committed for political purposes. Mr. DUNCOMBE deserves great praise for his determined perseverance in exposini! these disgraceful proceedings. There have been recently numerous rumours afloat of projects for raising loans entertained by most of the Gre a t C ont i nenta l Powers. Whil e schemes of borrowi ng were con fined to Spain, Por tugal, Greece, B e l g i um, an d t h e South Am er i can States, it was h ar dl y wort h w hile to notice th e m ; but it becomes kqu est i cu o f national importance to a country so commercial as England when we hear of loans in ten d e d to b e ra i se d by Turkey, Russia, Austria, an d F rance . Whatever State may be the borrow er , E ng l an d i s expecte d t o be the lender, and we trust that our capitalists will not rush headlong int o speculat i ons wh i c h may plun:,e into still deeper di stress t h e commerc i a l c l asses of this country. With our railways, our immense steam navigation, our mining, banking, and agricul tural improvement:associations, there is no want of profitable outlets for capital at home ; and while such is the case, it would be little short of treason to employ it in puttin g am - is in the hands of France to disturb the peace of Europe, or in enablin g the CZAR to carry on his crusades against the liberti' s of the free tribes of the Caucasus. As for the smaller fry of money jobbers, they have suffered so severely from the bad faith of the Spanish, Portu guese, and South American Governme nts , t h at we trust there is no occasion to impress upon them the wisdom of havng nothing at all to d o w i th the the ContinentLl y have the G se o ve v r e a r i nm lo c a: i i t s s. abo l u f t a t , o e wit to keep their money in . their pockets, they will be; e oi)le raisedwl.l,ll, only ;Is t befu rtle do more to advance prosperity at home and to main tain peace evetywhere, than if they entered a disturbingthou sandr well for them to recollect, that in the event . of a war, foreign Go vernments lrew oprr;:lt.e protests s I t ag :vi i will be very lik<!ly to forget for a time, if not altogether, their pecuniary obliga!ions ; and consequently, that bad debts and war taxes are the most probable results of any dabblin 7 , in the new loans now making such a noise on the Stock Exchange. The Extraordinary Express from Paris received yesterday, enabled us to anticipate in our afternoon edition the news contained in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The rejection of the appeal of Madame NAPOLEON ; and the dis ussin o s f L AFFARG E by the Court o f C assation ; the re moval il t l h t e he remains of several Bureaux or C omm itt ees o f the Chamber of Deputies on th e B u d get , occupy nearly the whole of Sunday's pap ers .

The following is the letter, which the Committee at Paris, of which the ,Marquis de Breze, the President, has oblig ingly communicated to us:—, " Goritz, Nov. 22, 18.10. 4. Monsieur the Marquis inundations de Pastoret,-- I learn the dread ful misfortu nes which the have occasioned in F rance , and I hasten to request you to send from me 6,000 r. to those places which have suffered the most partieuldrly, Lyons and Avignon. Though I am Obliged to live far from m y country, I have never been indifferent to the misfor tunes which it suffers. My only regret on this occasion i s my inability to give more ; but w hil e i t rece i ves t h e little than I can offer, it will comprehend all that it would have given me so much pleasure to have done. " I repeat to you the assurance of my entire affection." The Duke de Levis has subscribed 500 francs.—Le Gazette de France. The Moniteur of ibis morning has no official part. Several London Journals have reported that a French frigate had been captured in the Red Sea by an English brig. The .lournaldes Dfbats contradicts the news, and, by %%ay of answer to it, adds that there is at this moment no French frigate in the Red Sea.—Le Constitutionnd Madrid Papers of the Gth instant have been 're ceived. ESPARTERO was indisposed, and had been bled that morning. M. OLOZAGA had been appointed Spanish Ambassador at the Court of France, and was to set out for Paris on the 7th. The British Ambassador was laudably employed in calming the political excitement which prevailed in the Spanish capital. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY). IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAAI BAINES OF LE/MS.—CHURCH. RATES.—JUDGMENT. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this important and interesting case, which was argued heore the Court last week. His Lordship said, that when the case was first mentioned to him, he suggested that the question upon the significavit in the Ecclesiastical Court had usually been made the subject of discussion before the Chancellor upon an application to discharge or quash the writ de contumace capiendo. The party, however, had preferred, as be had an undoubted right to do, to rest his case upon the return to the habeas corpus, and therefore his Lordship's consideration must be directed not to what bad actually taken place in the Ecclesiastical Court, of which he knew nothing, except from the certificate which the Court had sent to him, but to what was stated in the significavit as having taken place. It was important to keep in view toe great difference between the Coast assuming the jurisdiction, which did not properly belong to it, and improperly exercising that jurisdiction with which it was legally invested. His Lordship's duty was, upon this habeas, to protect the prisoner against the former, if it should appear to have occurred, and another and very different course would be to be pursued if neces sary, for the purpose of correcting the latter. The fi.at objection to the significavit was that it did not show the sum which the prisoner was ordered to pay was a Church rate. H.s Lordship thought that was sufficiently stated, both with respect to the terms used, and to the form pre scribed by the Act. The significavit stated the command to be " to pay 2/. 55., rated and assessed upom him, pur suant to a monition duly issued under the seal of the Arches' Cilia, en a certain cause or businsss of the abstraction of Church-rates," Of its being stated with sufficient certainty, his Lordship had no doubt, nor did it appear consistently with the form prescribed in the schedule to the Act it could have been more specifically stated. Connected with that object was an other, that the" amount of the rate appeared to be under 101 , and that the Ecclesiastical Court had, by the 531 of George 111., been deprived of its jurisdiction in Church rates, unless the sum demanded exceeded that sum, or the validity of the rate or the liability of the party was in dis pute. To raise that objection it must be assumed that the jurisdiction was to be taken away; such the Judges of the Queen's Bench stated to be their opinion in the case of Ricketts v. Rodman, but that opinion did not regulate their judgment in that case, for had it been different the judgment would have been tho same. It was not his Lordship's intention to raise any doubts upon that point ; in that case, however, it was decided that a previous proceeding before Magistrates was not necessary to give the Ecclesiastical Court jurisdictien in cases of Church-rates under 10/., if the validity or liability was a question. It would seem, therefore, that it must be com petent to institute the suit, for without suits in such a case there might be no means to show the validity or liability was in dispute. It was also decided in such a case, although the proceedings did not show the validity or lia bility was in question, the party sued was not entitled to prohibition, and it seemed to have been the opinion of the Judges that for that purpose, after a sentence in the Arches' Court, unless a want of jurisdiction appeared upon the proceedings, it would not be intended. His Lordship could not, consistently with that doctrine, bold that the significavit did not state a suit in which the Ecclesiastical Court had jurisdiction. Another objection much relied on was that the significavit stated the party prosecuted had never appeared, and that, without appearance, the Court was not authorised to proceed to judgment on the merits. In considering that objection it must be assumed the Court had jurisdiction over the subject-matter, and if so, the ob jection, if well founded, would amount only to this, that the Court had improperly exercised such a jurisdiction to pronounce a legal judgment. There might be very many grounds on which a judgment might be illegal ; and in one sense, the Court, in pronouncing such judgment, ex ceeds its jurisdiction ; but that was not the sense in which the expression was used when applied to such a case as the present. The object of the jurisdiction his Lordship was then exercising was to keep the Ecclesiasti cal Court within the jurisdiction the law had assigned, and not to correct any error into which it might have fallen. If that distinction were not carefully kept in view, every Court and Judge having authority to issue an habeas corpus, would become a Com t of appeal from the Court by whose authority the party was imprisoned. In Dr. Beck's case, Lord Hardwicke very clearly made the distinction, saying it was not necessary for the Ecclesiastical Court to show they had rightly pro ceeded. His Lordship did not say that the proceediegs might not be so inconsistent with all principle as to jus tify him in treating it as a nullity ; but that could not be said in the present case, in which the course of proceed ing had beets one which had been held as legal in other Courts, and which was essential to the due administration of justice, namely, proceeding to judgment in a cause in which the defendant, in full knowledge of the suit and its objects, did not choose to appear. His. Lordship observed that during the argument he had been told, and with per. feet accuracy, that lie could not judicially know any thing of the Ecclesiastical Court, and therefore that he could not know what was meant by the term " usual intimation" yet he had been referred to many books of practice in the Ecclesiastical Court for the pur pose of proving that the Court was not justified in pro nouncing any decree in absence. If that; were so, it was not within his province to correct it. It was then argued that the term " usual" was so uncertain, as to make the significavit bad on the authority of the decision that the term " usual penance" had been held to be too uncertain. No doubt it would be so if it were essential for the Court to know what the intimation was, as it must, in the case referred to, have been to know what the penance inflicted was ; but as part of the nar rative of proceeding in a matter over which the Court had jurisdiction, it was not material to know what the intimation: was, inasmuch as it would not be competent for him to exercise any judgment as to whether it was the usual intimation or not. besides which, it was stated the party was " duly cited," which expression was as vague as the other, although it had not been made the subject of observation. Another objection was, that the significavit was in the nam e o f Si r H er b er t Jenn c r, the !an of Arches, and not in the name of the Archbishop of Canterbury ; all doubt was removed from his mind by the information he had received from the proper office that the Dean of Arches had always signed the significavit in his own name. One other objection remained which might be disposed of in a few words. The Act of Eliza beth directed the writ should be brought into the Queen's Bench, and, in the presence of the Judges, should be "opened and delivered as of record," but the memorandum only stated the writ was ‘• allowed, enrolled, and delivered before cur Lady the Queen at Westminster, according to the terms of the statute in such cases made and provided," omitting to state it had been opened. The memorandum could not have been proved if there had been any founda tion for the fact assumed for the purpose of the objection, but nothing had been stated to have been done contrary to the Act, and therefore the rule einniu presumuntur solemniter esse acfa applied to the ob jection. Fur these reasons his Lordship was of opinion that none of the objections to the signficavit could be sup ported, and the prisoner must be remanded. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Consent petitions, short causes, and cases that stood in the paper " to bo spoken to," occupied the Cuuit the entire day. -VICIL:(iHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.. HERRING V. CLOBERRT—JUDGMENT. His Honour the VICE.CHANCELLOR gave judgment to day in this case, which was argued some time since. The case came before the Court upon bill and supplemental bill, the objects of which were to impugn certain deeds on the ground, as it was alleged, of their having been procured fraudulently. His Honour, after going at considerable length into the case, stated it t be his clear opinion that there was no ground for impeaching the deeds as having been obtained by fraud, and the only decree, therefore, that he could make was to dismiss both bills with costs. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) NUISANCE IN H OL YWELL-STREET.—Lipman Emanuel a dealer in second-band clothes in llol) well-street, was charged with assaulting constable Weston, 58 F, under the following circumstances : The complainant stated that about nine o'clock on Sur.- day morning, he was passing along liolywell street in plain clothes, *ben the'defcgdant, who was standing before his door, laid hold of his arm soliciting him to tome in and view some good bargains that might suit him, and on his refusing he persisted to solicit him by pulling his arm, that it was with the greatest difficulty ho could extricate himaslf. Mr. HALL said that the manner in which such persons as the defendant conducted themselves was one of the most monstrous nuisances in town, for it was notorious that per sons of the highest respectability were frequently obliged to go another way to avoid it. Inspector Black said that in consequence of the several complaints which had been made of the Jews' conduct on Sunday morn ng, tilt complainant was directed to proceed through Holy well.street b and having the appearance of a country lad, as he was in plain clothes, the defendant com menced pulling him in, and committed the assault. The defendant said he had been in the business fifteen years, and no complaint was ever made of him. Mr. HALL said he would try what a mitigated penalty of los, would effect for the presents and if the nuisance was continued, he would adopt a more severe remedy. The defendant having paid the fine was discharged. WOOLWICH, DEc. 13.—A reinforcement of ' 200 gunners of the Royal Artillery embark this day on board the Numa (transport), for the garrison of Malta. The Numa, besides other warlike munitions, carries out to that depot 100 tons of hollow shot and shells for the ser vice of the 10-inch guns ( Paishans), which are on board the steam-frigates with the Mediterranean squadron. DEATH OF SIR W/cl. BUIIDETT.--Sir Win. Burdett, who had long resided at Cheltenham, died there last. Saturday morning. He was much respected. The Honourable Colonel and Lady Arabella Arden have arrivot_l in Yorltshire from the Earl of Derby's seat in Cheshire. THE ASHES OF NAPOLEON. WRITTEN BY MARSHAL SOULT ON ISIS VISIT TO BOULOGNE, 1838. Ye proud Heights of Boulogne ! once the wonder of war, When the legions of triumph their banners unfuri'd ; And the brave from all quarters, Alsace to Navarre, Crowded here with Napoleon to conquer the world I But how changed arc those fields —once in battle array, When column on column was marshall'd by him, The god of our glory ! How grand the display, That stretched o'er yon country till vision grew dim Then how high was our hope, as we gazed on that sea, Which mum:tied defiance! but still dared on; For to conquer or die in the land of the free, Was the boast of the brave in the race of renown. 'TKas a ;ream of the past—but in grandeur how glorious For the bugle at morn called our legions away ; And the eagle of chivalry flew on victorious, Till the Sun of Ambition won Austerlitz' day ! I could weep o'er those scenes to my memory dear, For their like bath not been, nor will ever be more ; For the earth cannot match him in glory's career— The hero of battles uncquall'd before I But he sleeps in the ocean—Napoleon the Great t And the pageant of empire bath melted like snow ; Yet his memory lives in the shadow of state, Like the deeds of our arms on the thrones of the foe. And shall France not reclaim his proud ashes? Thcirhome, The last resting place of the brave, should be where Their trophies are treasured and honour'd. Vendome, Thy column's not great till Napoleon be tbcre ! LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING. By the Britannia Mail Packet which has arrived here this morning from Halifax, we have received Ncw York Papers to the lit of December. The following account of the " Stato of the country" at the sailing of the packet is from the Ncw York Herald of the 30th of November : STATE OF IHE CoeNvay.—This country is in a very interesting condition, as " ladies arc who love their lords." General Harrison, the new President, does not take office till the 4th of March. His Cabinet Ministers, and his chief appointments, arc the principal topics of discussion among 500,000 politicians, the rest of the population, nearly 15,000,000, looking on or attending to their own business. According to the best sources of information the Clay influence in the Cabinet will prevail over Webster or any other. If so, John Sargcant will be the Secretary of State, John Davis, Secretary of the Treasury, and three friends of Clay will fill the other Cabinet posts. The Collector of New York is the next important ap pointment, an'l for that the Clay influence has selected R C. Wetmore, and the Webster influence named Ed ward Curtis. But a great many changes may take place before next March. These are the probabilities now. Next Monday Congress meets. Mr. Van Buren de livers his last message on Tuesday, and the leading topic wi'l undoubtedly be the embarrassed state of the finances. A bankrupt law will again be attempted. and in the absence of political excitement, it may pass—but what kind of a one no one can tell. A re vision and increase of the tariff imposts will probably be postponed to the new Congress, which does not meet till December 1841, unless General Harrison should call an extra Session. If he does, he cannot get one together sooner than September next. In commercial and business affairs the country is im proving every day. There is some doubt about the re sumption of the United States Bank in January next, and if she does resume, there is more doubt about its perma nency. But in spite of these untoward events, the nation was never richer in produce an manufactures, and we must do well. MONEY AND EXPIIANGES.—Money is quite as plentiful as it was two weeks ago, if not more so. The banks take all the short paper they can get at six per cent., and there are buyers in the street at the same rate; but long paper cannot be well got off even at 7 per cent. Money stocks are selling largely from day to day, but without much tendency either up or down. European Exchanges have not advanced. _ BT:S•INESS GSNERALVf.-The season is drawing to a close, and of course business is much diminished in amount ; but it is in a good state.

The Stock Market has presented no very material change in its general features to-day. Some descriptions have improved, and others have declined. N. Am. T. and Bk: rose per cent ; Delaware and Hudson 2 per cent ; Canton per cent; Paterson 1 per cent ; Harlem declined # per cent; Stonington 2 per cent ; Dry Dock 1 per cent. There has been some increased demand for foreign bills to go by these packets. The supply cf good bills in the market has not been large, and many purchasers have been holding back, waiting larger supplies from the south. The rates to-lay have been a little more firm, as follows : on London 81 a 81, or $4 Si a $4 83 the .£ sterling ; on France sf. 17i a sf. 20; Amsterdam 401 a 401 ; Hamburgh 361 ; Bremen 78. At these rates there has been less demand for specie for remittance, and the pre mium on silver has fallen. GALLERIES OF ART. We were admitted a few days ago to a private view of some superior paintings and statues exhibited in New man-street, which arc well worthy the attention of judges of art. Several of them are by old masters, rind considered of great value. The statue of Venus, by Thorwaldscn, is a beautiful piece of sculpture, and does not at all suffer by comparison with the famous Venus de Medici, a cast of which is placed in the same room. The model of St. Peter's is a curious piece of workmanship, of which the following account is given in the catalogue : " This celebrated model (above 15 feet in length, by 7i feet in breadth), which has for some time excited so much attention throughout Italy, is the production of that ingenious artist Celestino Vai, of Brescia, principal mechanician of the theatre of San Carlos, at Naples, made from actual admeasurements on the scale of 1 to 100 complete in every particular. It cost the artist the un divided labour of nine years. Some idea of the vast ness of such an undertaking may be conceived, from the fact that there arc upwards of 560 statues, 288 columns, besides pilasters, obelisk, fountains, entabla tures, cornices, ornaments, and every variety of detail, which are all correctly and faithfully rendered in their just and beautiful proportions." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. The operations were on a small scale, and almost exclu• sively confined to the public sales, which consisted of Tca Sugar, and Coffee, at which the biddings were languid and prices gave way. The arrivals were small from al parts. TEA MARKET. The market was in a dull state, and at the public sales the principal part offered was withdrawn for want of buyers. East India Company's Congou dull, at 23. Old. per lb. cash. TALLOW MARKET. The sales were moderate at about 475. to 475. 31 per cwt. on the spot, but the market still had a sickly ap pearance. WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET. There was a large supply, and a steady demand, at rather higher prices. Straw in short supply ; and prices advanced full 2s. per load. Clover Hay, to 51. 15s Meadow Hay, 4/. to 4!. 16s. Straw, 30s. to 345. per load: THE ATLANTIC STEAMERS.—The Royal mail steamer Caledonia, was to leave Boston on the Ist and Halifax on the 3d inst., for this port, and is expected to reach the Mersey in the course of to-morrow. The British Queen was to sail from New York on the Ist inst. for Portsmouth and London. She is expected to arrive off the former port on Thursday or Friday next. The Great Western was to leave New York on the Bth inst., for Bristol, at which she will be due on the 22d or 23d. She is expected to bring copies of Mr. Van Buren's Mes as Congr e s did no t mee t until sage to Congress ; but, the first Monday in December, and that was the 7th, the Message would not be communicated till next day, Tues day, the Bth, and would not reach New York before the 9th.

Dalton were ind'cled for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling. house of Clayton William Ward, and stealing 11b. weight of cigars, and copper monies, value 145., his goods. The case was clearly proved, and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty. Hardiman having received a good chamter, was sen tenced to be impriscned for nine months, and Dalton, I ding known, was sentenced to be transported fur fifteen years. Mary Kemp, convicted of robbing her furnished lodg ings, was sentenced to fourteen years transportation. William Mathews, convicted of stealing half a crown, the property of his mist,r, was sentenced to two months' impris, nrnent and hard labour. James Powell, an old man, aged 68, convicted of stealing a coat,was sentenced to eix mom imprisonment. BURGI,AfiT IN A PUBLIC 110 USE Art Gearish, age:l 28, and William Allen, age d 20, Were indicted for a bu.glary in the dwelling-house of John Alger, and stealing one pair of spectacles and 31. in copper money, his goods and monies. The prosecutor keeps a public-house, crake, the Miire, in Broae-.call, in the parish of Christchurch, Surrey, and on the night of Nov. 5, last the house was br( ken into and the property in question stolen. The prisoners had for some time been in the habit of frequenting the house. Gearizh, it appeared, bed communicated to Allen the circumstance, and Allen had been present %hen Gz!a rish had disposed of a portion of the property. Allen sub secrtentiy becoming uneasy in his mind, communicated %%hat had occurred to the prosecutor, and both the prisoners were in constqualee t .ken into custody—Gearish having gone to Birmingham to escape pursuit, On learning that Allen hed made a statement to the trosecutor, was thereZappre hen ded. Mr. CHAMBERS who defended Allen, contended that tiere was no evilence to grove his connection with tl:e robbery, and that his conduct tbroughcut had been that of an imprudent but honest man. Mr. Sergeant ARABLI summed up, and said the case against Allen was by no means a strong one. The Jury acquitted Allen and found Gearish guilty. The COURT sentenced him to tranTortation for fifteen years. (_ha, les Barret was indicted for breaking into the hon.° of Air. Thomas Massey, a watchmaker in Cornhill, and stealing a chronometer, and a great quantity of other ,rloable property, and Robert Clearela and Sarah Bibbed were indicted for feloniously receiving 4 union of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. ii.irret pleaded guilty; the other prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, while the Clerk of the Arraigns was reading the indictment, came into Court, and said he had just received a blank sheet of paper, bow could he pos sibly defend the prisoners without proper instructions? Mr. Sergeant AR4BIN said really he could not help that, the case must go on. The solicitors should have instructed him before. Mr. Ph iLurs said that it was part of that s3steni of which the Court hzd so often complai. - ed. The names of the prisoners had only been placed on the list fur trial an hour ago, in the ahser.ce of the Solicitor, Mr. Sergeant ARAnIN could nut help that. The case Faust go on. The Learned Judge . then Lsked Mr. Phil. lips for whom he appeared ? Mr. PHILLIPS—For no one, My Lord; I sould con ,idcr it a great injustice to the prsoner to undertlke the defence under such circunutPnees. Air. DOANE then opened the case, and the Court having intimated its opinion that the case was not sufficient against Cle2vely and llibbcrt, they w• re acquitted, Barrett who, it appeared, had been nn apprentice of the prosecu tor, and had been previously convicted, was senttnced to 15 years' transportation. CnARGE OF BIGA?tIY.—Pt trr Anthony Cullen vas charged with feloniously marrying J4IIC 13.iitOW, his 'age being alive. Mr. Chambers, on behilf of the prisoner, a pplied for a postponement of the trial until to-morrow, in conse quence of the absence of a material witness, who would to-morrow bz.• in attendance.

WRIGHT AND CO.'S BANK. Mr. Anthony G. Wright Biddulph, the senior partner in the house of Wright and Co , Henrietta-street, Covent gareen, Lai published the following letter to the Editor of one of the Journals:— " Sir,—From a misconstruction of it passage in my brother's circular to the creditors of our late firm in lien rietta-strcet, in which he says generally that ' his oartners7 (weaning the acting partners) had constantly remonstrated with him on the subject of his proceedings , I find that some persons have been lcd to belieyc that I , a s th e senior partner, bad joined in the remonstrances in question, and was consequently acquainted with the situation of the house. This, however, is a mistake. By the arti cles of partnership I was exempted from all share in the management or the concern; and by my health, which for three years has confined me to my home in the coon. try, I have been rendered unable to enter into any active examination of its affairs.- In the meantime I have been furnished with no accounts. I never heard of the remon strances or of the uneasiness of the other partners. No thing, in fact, connected with its concerns was ever come municated to me ; and, es a pers.on writing in some of the other Journals and signing liiintelf ' A Creditor," has truly stated, it Nw.s not u.itil I heard from one of the clerks that the house had actually suspended its payments that I ever r. ceived the slightest. intimation either of danner or of difficulty in the eftablisliment.
