ZEITTER AND COMPANY'S NEW PATENT crRAND PIANO-FORTES. Z THE Nobility, Gentry, and Public of Liv 00l and the, neighbourhood are respectfully inf me . that an Assort ment of the New Patent Grand and -grand PIANO FORTES of Six-and-half Octaves, m an ctured by ZEITTER and Co., London, have arrived at GE( GE THOMSON'S MUSIC WAREHOUSE, 1, GREAT GZORGE-STREST, corner of Upper Duke-street. These Instruments have all the latest improvements, rend bave been brought to a state of perfection never yet equalled. Besides having Wrought Iron String Plates, Wrought Iron Bracings over the Sounding Board, and au additional Bar on and under the front Wrest Plank, they have a Sounding Board con structed on an entirely new principle, somewhat similar to that of the Violin, by which the quality of tone is rendered much more full and equal. Neither climate nor time can affect its eiasticity, nor can the pressure of the Strings cause it to yield. A Patent has been obtained for this invention, which is pro nounced by the first Composers and Pianists in the kingdom to be the most important improvement ever applied to Piano fortes. It is impossible in the limited space of an Advertisement to convey_an.adequa.te idea of the superiority of these Instruments. G. THOMSON, therefore, requests au inspection of them, satisfied that they only require to be seen to be appreciated. y In addition to these Instruments, G.

THE, aTh EARL OF CHARLEVIL Lg.—The late Earl of Char leville, who had been in a helpless state for some time, was sitting on the sofa while dinner was serving; the attendants observed his head fall on one side, the only circumstance that occurred to alarm them. Her ladyship was apprised of the cir cumstance, and several surgeons were sent for, also Dr. Mac- Arthur, from Deal, but life was extinct before any of the gentle men arrived, though so short a time elapsed. Lord Tullamore, the present Earl, has arrived at Dover. Directions have been given for the conveyance of the body to Ireland, for interment in the vault at Charleville, near Tullamore, in the church built some years since by his lordship for the use of his protestant tenantry and neighbours.. The venerable countess, who sur vives her lord, has been unable to stand for some years from paralysis in the limbs, but is in tolerable health. The magnificent and ancient residence of the Grenville family, called Stowe, in the - parish of Martin Llewellin, Corns -wall, has been pulled down and the park dismantled. It was one of the most superb residences in England, and the beauty of the grounds and scenery adjacent has been frequently auto gised. John Grenville, Earl of Bath, in the reign of Charles IL, erected it. It stood on a residence overlooking a well • wooded valley, but not a tree near it to shelter it from the north . west. It is a singular circumstance that the cedar wainscot which had been brought out of a Spanish prize, and used by the Earl of Bath for titling up the chapel in this mansion, was purchased by Lord . Cobham and applied to the same purpose at Stowe, the magnificent seat of the noble family of Grenville, in Buckinghamshire, where it still remains. • FOX-CHACB EXTRAORDINARY IN Tite LONDON DOCKS.— For some time past the warehousekeepers iu the London Docks have been at a loss to conceive a reason for the great destruc tion of their poultry. The feathers and other portions of the birds found ut once prowl that it was none of the biped species that caused so great havoc. A reward was offered for the ap prehension of the robber, but without effect. The mystery was solved on Thursday by the appearance of a sleek and sly fox stealing from the eastern quay and approaching the north. II is ,cppeara ace 'certainly at first caused • a little terror, thinking it p.osiblo that it might have been some wild animal escaped front ~,tk l .;.eiset in the dock; but his true character was soon aseer time,4, ,itO4: ; th4 - 'cry. of "A fox, 4 fox," buret ( ru m ma ny, unit the thEice Wes then even; Reynard hennaed along at a spank in„ Dace; but at last was blitiged to tar refuge in No. 5 vault, where he was secured by a cellurman roamed Phillips, who has ;low the animal in his onsmission. It is impossible to say how ur when the animal made his fits: appearance in the dock. WE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SPAIN. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ITURMENDT, October 30, Eleven o'clock, p.m.—Costal:m.l DEFEAT OF TH E ARMY OF THE QUEEN NEAR VITTOHIA.--I this day send you a hasty account of the most brilliant victory as vet gained by the Carlists. You are aware that I give not hastily credence to reports favourable to either party, and that when I do send you as positive the result of an important en gagement, you may place implicit confidence in all I state. I I am aware that, immediately after a sanguinary battle, it is pro- I bable that the statement' of the number of killed and wounded is exaggerated, In the present instance, independent of my private letter from Mondragon, I have seen a person who was I present on the field of battle; he fully corroborates all that is stated by my informant. " MONDILGON, Oct. 29. -=Victory ! V ictory ! Victory The valiant Cordova and his brave army .have been gloriously beaten. Yesterday •the Carlist General Villareal, having re ceived information of the plans of the Queenites, determined on attacking them, and for that purpose marched forward in the direction, of the plains Hof Alegria. The Christinos attempted to save themselves, and ultimately succeeded in retreating on Arrieta and Salvatierra; their force was 12,000 infantry and cavalry. 'Villareal captured one piece of artillery, and made 120 dragoons, completely mounted, prisouers. " The'same night (the 2 . 3 th) the Christinos attempted to es cape from Salvatierra, by taking the high road to Vittoria, but, at the time when least expetited, the Carlists surrounded them on all sides, and poured down on them destructive and mur derous fire. The loss of the Christinos is 6000 men hors (I combat: The Carlists have made 3000 prisoners, taken all the enemy's artillery, and an immense quantity of muskets. The battle lasted part of the day of the 29th. I trust to-morrow to be able to send you the full particulars of this most importano affair." • it is a most singular fact that, last year, on the 28th and 29th of October, the brave Zumalacarreguy 'completely defeated the Christinos on the plains of Alegria, :naking 2000 prisoners, and taking all their artillery, the first that fell into the hands of the Carlists. The present victory was gained ou the 28th and 29th of October, and on the same plains of Alegria. The Carlist force in the above affair was 25 battalions of infantry, 900 ca valry, and four pieces of artillery. General •Gemez, ou the 27th reviewed, near Durango, 9000 Castilian troops. The English auxiliaries make occasional excursion» into the suburbs of Bilboa, but never beyond the range of the heavy ar- _ ... __, tillery placed on the newly-erected forts. - • The Infant Don Sebastian, son of tho Princess Beira, dis embarked on the 30th at Footarabia, from on board an English vessel. He proceeded immediately to the head-quarters of Don Carlos at Aisasua. .A Danish lugger has been carried into Saint Sebastian hav ing on board 12 pieces .)f artillery and a great many muskets. The Captain says that it was his intention to sell his cargo to the highest bidder. I feel certain that the artillery was not in tended for Don Carlos, excepting as a purchaser, from whom a high price could be obtained. HERALDIC DEVICES. In: Europe the combinations of marks worn on the 'shields of officers,jn. those ages when the face was by defensive armour, concealed from view were strictly idea graphic, and, as they enabled the soldiery to recognise :the vt+arees, they virtually, to their apprehensions, served the purpose of written names. These combinations were the foundation of 'what is now called " coats of arms ;" and, however they may be explained in modern heraldry, it is quite evident, from the use to which they were at first applied, that their constituent parts were originally intended to denote the qualities by which the persons on whose shields they appeared were supposed to be distin guished. Thus the sign of the cross, which so frequently meets the eye among those marks, was an emblem of devotedness to the christian reliion, and the repetition of it implied an intensity of the feeling. As to the pre cise number of them employed in each combination, their arrangement and their shape, these are technical points which it belongs to heraldry to account for: my object is to consider only the first and simplest efforts of: the , kind to form badges, whereby certain persons might be known and distinguished from each other. Thus, also, e the figure of the lion, so commonly used for the same purpose, was a natural emblem of strength and courage ; and since this, as well as the former one, was a favourite sign among knights, it became necessary to derive sub distinctions from particular circumstances—from the di rection in which the animal was looking, and its posture, in order that several might have it engraved among their insignia, and yet not be confounded with each other. In like manner the original use of various other signs might be detailed: of many of them, I admit, it is very difficult, now to perceive what was or could have been the imme diate meaning, and perhaps it would puzzle even heralds to determine the point; but that in their general nature they were all of them ideagraphic marks, is a position 'which does not admit of the slightest doubt: And in barbarous ages, when but a very small portion of an army could read or write, these marks enabled the sol diery to recognise and distinguish their officers- far better than alphabetic characters would have done. However, if we consider the matter, we shall find that this recogni tion was in itself a species of reading, confined, it is true, to a very limited use ; yet still,as far as that use reached, was essentially idea g raphic reading as much as any now practised in China. The soldier knew by the assemblage of marks the person who bore them on his shield, and this person he was in the habit of calling by a certain name; so that lie passed, without dwelling on the inter mediate idea, instantly from one extreme of the process to the other, as lie would from a sign to the thing signi fied, that is, in his conception the marks had the same relation to the o'fficer'S mule that a written denomination has .to a spoken one. The . few, however, who at the time understood alphabetic writing, looked upon the same marks in a light somewhat different. Being ac quainted with a superior mode of designation, they did notconSider those marks as the name of the officer, but only as an appendage of his name — as what M. dam pollion might hare called a prenom cartouche ;. and if we compare any assemblage of them with an Egyptian pre nom, we shall - he at once struck with the close resem blance which they have to each other.—Wall's Examina tion of the Ancient Orthography of the Jews. EXTRAORDINARY CAE OF ACCIDENTAL ENTOMBMENT. On the morning of Thursday the Bth ult, part of the roof -of the coal-works belonging to the Duke de Coignv, at Kilgrammie, near the village of Dailly, Ayrshire, set down, and before the men could get clear of the work ings, John Brown, a native of Mid-Lothian, about sixty years of age, was intercepted in his egress, and conse quently confined in this subterraneous abode until Sa turday last the 31st ult., at four in the morning, when he was restored again to light and liberty, being thus twenty-three days without one morsel of food ! When entombed, he had- with him a small portion of tobacco, sufficient for one day's consumption, and two small flasks of lamp oil: some of the latter he attempted to swallow, but was unable to do so, and the only substance he took besides the tobacco, during tho whole period of his con finement, was a strong chalvbeate water within the range of his prison, and which he declared was " very bad indeed." His mind remained quite composed and continues very distinct—he never despaired of ultimately escaping, and his greatest anxiety, he says, was for the fate o f Th om as Wason, the person with whom he had for more than two years resided, whom he supposed had perished when the accident occurred, leaving a wife and Helpless family. He calculated time by the noise made by the men at their stated periods of work:—for the first and second week, he moved about in his gloomy cell, an area of nearly thirty yards, seeX‘ina every avenue of es cape ; but latterly he became so weak as to be unable to reach his only but disagreeable beverage—the water. The feeling of hunger left him about the second day, which may be attributed to the astringent quality of the water. When found, he was extended on the ground, and lying on his breast, nearly extinct, his extremities, cold, his voice reduced almost to a whisper, or childish ; treble, and his emaciation so great as to make him a complete personification of the Anatomie Vivante. His dark unshaven beard, sunken features, and glistenink eye, had given him an unearthly appearance. Gene rally, great danger arises from imprudently giving food too freely to persons who have suffered from Ibstinence, but in Brown's case, his brother labourers cautiously first lubricated his parched mouth with butter, then gave him milk, arrow-root, and sherry, in small spoonfuls, at in tervals—milk being the first thing he asked for when he was discovered. His pulse is regular and strong, and his tongue clean and moist; indeed, there is every hope of his ultimate restoration to health, should he receive, sufficient nourishment in the same cautious way. When Dr. Hill, the minister of the parish, visited him, he put out his hand to the Rev. Dr. and asked him to return thanks to God for his deliverance. He feels 'much pleased at the interest his'ca:se has excited in the country, and he bestows a ghastly smile of satisfaction on the numerous gazers, which the circumstance has drawn from consider able distances, to the humble cottage where he now lies. On a former occasion, he was entombed in a coal-pit three days and three nights, and w e have also been informed that he once suffered shipwreck.—Ayr Observer. CURIOUS CASE. (Floet the Gazette de Trihunaux.) At a late sitting, at which M. Dellao presided in the Court of Justice of the Ninth Arrondissement„the fol lowing very curious case Was heard:—Louis Legay, a farmer at St. Cloud, was desirous to place in his house an image of St. Julienne. For this purpose he applied to M. Travers, well known for furnishing articles of the church, at the same time recommending him to follow the design given to him, and the model traced out in the " History, of the Martyrs." According to usage, the Sieur Legay paid 22 francs in advance to the artist as the price of the statue in gilt wood. Unfortunately, M. Travers did not consult his " History of the Martyrs," and instead of placing St. Julienne in a cauldron, he placed her in a cask, a position which could not suit the taste cf the Sieur Legay. He, therefore, refused to take the work unless the artist should alter it according to the model which he had the precaution to point out to him before it was put in hand. M. Travers felt for the honour of his art that he sLould rectify the imperfections with which the image was reproached; but when M. Legay came to take and carry away St. Julienne, the artist demanded 10 francs more for the additional labour. The former refused to pay it, and thence arose the action. The parties appeared in their proper persons before the 'Magistrate. The name of the Sieur Legay having been r.ialled,-tre-desi-ves-lii-s.-oafs .to. Open the,auysterions..uaoket which she holds in her hand. He draws out of it, - with great gravity, the design confided to M. Travers, and every one may convince himself that St. Julienne is squatted down in a cauldron, in which she suffered mar tyrdom in boiling water, and not in a cask. " I had heard M, Travers spoken of with advantage," says M. Legay ; " they boasted his merit in the making of saints and e•ood holy virgins. His great reputation in the Rue de la Cite, No. 10, for the manufacture of church orna ments, determined me to employ him to make a statue exactly after the models of the martyrs, and 1 see myself constrained against my will to accept an image which in no respect resembles the model. prescribed by the design which I exhibit to you. It is very true, the artist has done all in his power to give a resemblance to the statue. But if he has removed the upper part of thecask, the lower part still presents hoops, which one does not ordinarily see on a cauldron. But if M. Travers demands from me 10 francs above the price agreed upon, let him keep his work, and return my 22 francs paid in advance." The president (to M. Travers.) "In your situation you cannot be ignorant of this mar tyrdom. Before.you executed the image of St. Julienne you should have consulted the 4 History of the Mar tyrs.'" This observation determined the defendant to renounce the 10 francs demanded, and the Sieur Legay left the court quite delighted with his statue in a bucket. AFFECTING IrictnENT.—When the George the Third convict ship was lost last April, near Van Dieman's Land, the wife of a soldier of the 50th regiment displayed feelin gs at' the most courageous and amiable description. 'This poor woman had re cently been confined •, and when the vessel was wrecked she saved her babe, and also the infant of another woman, who was unfortunately drowned. She contrived to secuie herself in the forechains, and although the sea ran mountains high, with frost and rain, this poor creature was exposed for forty-eight hours te , the weather, with two babes suckling at her breast, and a child of two years old held between her knees; and, after all her troubles, they were providentially saved. Dr. Wyse, the superintendent, states that it was a most affecting sight; and Governor Arthur, immediately he was informed of it, visited the poor woman, provided her with food and raiment, besides pre senting her with a £lO note' for the great courage she had manifested. A tire took place in South-street, Bridport, last week, which entirely Consumed seven houses, reducing fourteen families to a state of the most pitiable destitution. MONUMENT TO GENERAL WOLFE: Previously to Lord Aylmer leaving Canada, he caused to be erected a plain but substantial column on the spot where the gallant Wolfe breathed his last. The spot selected is on the plains of Abraham, near Qbebec, where General James Wolfe died of his wounds on the memorable 13th of September, 1759. From a gentleman who has recently returned from Canada we have obtained the following particulars:—" Wolfe's army, after landing in the cove bearing his name, advanced upon the troops of Montcalm, who had gallantly come to meet him, and who were forced to retreat to the north of the city, where some earth redoubts were thrown up; the action grew hotter here, but the gallant troops broke through all resistance, and drove back the left of the French, and took possession of the heights. It. was somewhere on the ground now forming the race-course, end near the present stand, that Wolfe received his lust fatal wound, and' he was carried to the right, and laid against a large block of granite, four to five feet in diameter, which afforded rest and protection from the enemy's fire. The exact spot was ever after kept in memory, and visited by strangers, who broke off pieces of the stone to take with them as relics. At length the stung was much diminished, and would ultimately have disap peared altogether, had it not been enelosed by 11. Gowan, Esq., who purchased a lease of the property." It has, however, been safely protected, and we owe this to the unostentatious respect for the memory of a great Captain on the part of Lord. Aylmer, who has raised a monument over it, thus commemorating the spot where, while Wolfe immorta lized his name, England added to the glory of her arms, and achieved the conquest of the continent of north America, an era in its history, to which the administration of the elder Pitt added farther splendour. The following are the particulars of the monument. It is si tuate on the left of the city, about 100 yatds distance. The under base (inclosing the very stone against which Wolfe died) is about seven feet square and three high, made tastefully, by adding other granite boulders, fastened with blue water cement. On this is laid a large square limestone as the plinth to tbe co lumn itself, then the polished marble rings are laid, and from these a plain circular column of polished dark blue marble, of about 21 feet diameter, rises to the height of about seven feet, with the words in large capital letters, deeply cut, " HERB DIED WOLFE VICTORIOUS. The whole height is about twelve feet, and is stated to have a very plain but elegant appearauca, THE MURDER AT WOODEATON, OXFORDSHIRE On Wednesday an inquest was held at Woodeaton, on the body of Thomas Cooper, gamekeeper to Richard Wetland, Esq., M.P., who was found dead that innimitir near Woodeaton Wood.—R. Weyland, Esq., stated that Cooper had been game keeper to the family about forty years, and he imagined his age to be about sixty-eight. Two or three days since witness de sired him to go to the wood and procure two or three pheasants. As witness was returning from his walk, on Tuesday eveniug, he heard the report of a gun when crossing South-hill Paddock, which, from the direction it came, must have been very near the place where Cooper was found dead. In consequence of hearing the report of. the gun witness went to Cooper's house, and his wife informed him that her husband was not at home, but had gone to the wood some time before. Witness thought he was gone to execute the order given him, and returned home to dinner. About eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, Lady Johnstone informed him that Cooper had been found dead near the wood. Witness sent for Mr. Cecil, the coroner. and Mr. Walker, the surgeon, and went himself to the middle wood ground, where he found Cooper lying dead, and apparently had been so some time. He appeared to have been shot by some per son or persons who came up to him from behind, and the gun must have been close to his head, inasmuch as the back part of his hat was quite black with being singed. (The deceased wore a white hat.) He had been shot through the head about the neck, and the back part of his bead appeared to have been very much injured by some blunt instrument. Witness then returned home, and shortly afterwards got on horseback and went to make inquiries. George Phillips, of Woodeaton, de posed to the wife of the deceased going to him and expressed her fears that something had happened to her husband, he not having been at home all night. Witness went in search and found the body. He touched Cooper's skull and found it frac tured. He had on an old fustain shooting jacket, which was very much burnt; but witness could not tell how it caught fire. He was lying with his face towards the ground, and his hands turned behind him. He had a shot-belt on, and a powder-flask by the side of him, which had burst. There was no gun lying by Cooper. Mr. Stephen Walker, a surgeon, residing at Islip, stated that he examined the body, and found a gun shot wound at the back part of his head, and the shots appeared to have gone through his head, and to have come out at his right eye. It was impossible he could have shot himself ; some other per son must have shot him; the shots had produced a fracture of the right and temporal bone, as well as fractured the upper jaw, and would have produced instant death. He was of opi nion that Cooper was first shot and afterwards struck on the head.—A labouring man, named Clay, assistant to the deceased, deposed that he had frequently heard guns go off in the woods about dusk in the evening, and on Sunday be traced a number of footsteps in and about the woods, one of which was a short and very narrow foot-mark, and very much like the one he saw near to where Cooper was shot, The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. It is understood that a poacher in the neighbourhood has been taken up on suspicion, and committed for further examination. —Oxford Journal. LIABILITY OF CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS TO , THE PAYMENT OF PARISH RATES. An appeal was made at the Town-hall, Croyden, Surrey, on Tuesday last, by the trustees of a charitable institution, estab lshed at .Croyden by members of the Society of Friends, against a rate made upon them by the parish officers. Mr. Marsh, on the part of the trustees, stated that by act of parlia ment charitable institutions were expressly exempt from being rated, except under particular circumstances; the Friends did not wish to claim a total exemption; but what they complained of was, that the amount of rate had been increased - from £lOO to £140., and if such increased amount were persisted in a total exemption from rates would he claimed. l'he Vesta•-Clerk contended that as the children educated iu the school contri buted a certain sum yearly towards their maintenance, the in stitution did not come within the meaning of the act of parlia ment. En reply, it was stated that it was true that owing to the fact of the number of applications for admission into the school being found to he too great for its funds, it was thought neces sary that a regulation should be made that no child should be without, either by • its own-me-airs-or through-the assist ance of its friends, a small sum was paid yearly to the trustees, but this sum did not exceed £lO or £l2 per annum, in any in stance. The Vestry-Clerk said they relied upon that fact. Mr. Marsh observed that if such doctrine were to be adopted it would apply to almost every charitable institution in the king dom. After some. further diseussion, the magistrates decided in favour of the legality of the rate. The question, however, it is understood, will be taken before another tribunal, as it is considered of great importance to charitable institutions generally. HOLYHEAD MAIL-COACH ACC (DENT. As the Holyhead mail-coach was approaching Dunchurch at a rapid rate on its way to London, between ton and eleven o'clock on Friday night, and when within about a mile of that town, one of the fore-wheels suddenly broke. The passengers, with the exception of a lady travelling inside, immediately left the coach, which was dragged f orwar d t o D u nchurch in a totter ing condition. It being there ascertained that the tyre of the wheel had- flown off, that one of the felloes was broken, and that the damage could not be repaired for several hours, the guard of the coach thought it his duty to start for London without delay in a chaise with the mail-bags. This expedition was the more necessary, as we believe he had charge of two mails from Ireland, the steam-packet due on Thursday morning not hav ing reached Holyhead, in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, until long after the mail-coach of that morning had started for London. We ale informed that the passengers had considerable difficulty in prevailing on the coach-agent at Dunchurch to provide them with an expeditious conveyance, and that he said the accident was attributable to the conduct of the postoffice contractors, who, because their contract was to expire on the lit of January next, were determined at all risks to get in the interval as much work as they possibly could out of the old wheels. We need hardly say that nothing could be more unjust or absurd than this charge . ; for it must be obvious that, as all extraordinary expenses occasioned by accidents of this description must be borne by the contractors themselves, it is their interest, even in the absence of any higher motive, to take care that the coaches are kept in the best possible order. After much angry discussion between the Dunchurch agent and some of the passengers, he at length supplied the four inside passengers with a two-horse coach to Daventrv, At Daventry they could only procure a post-chaise capable of accommodat lug three, and in this mode of conveyance two gentlemen and a lady succeeded in reaching Dunstable at seven o'clock yester day morning, but not without being obliged to fight a hard bat tle for post-horses at every stage during the night. At Dun stable, however, the. agent peremptorily refused to become responsible for their further conveyance by post-chaise, and it, therefore, became necessary for the party to procure one at their own immediate expense, for which doubtless they will be reim bursed by the coach proprietors. LONDON LAW REPORT. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 6. . , L ONT v. TWIRL! , ALL AN I) ANOTHER.—Mr. Alexander moved on the part of the defendants to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff, and to enter a nonsnit. The cause was tried at the last assizes, at Liverpool, for the southern division of Lan cashire, before the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with leave for the defendants to make this ap plication. The plaintiff, Joseph Bullos Lunt, was a soapboiler at Li verpool, and the defendants, John Threlfall and Henry Keale, were wholesale grocers there. The action was brought to re cover £ll6, the amount claimed by the plaintiff as the balance due to him on a bill of exchange for £232 7s. 5d., of which the plaintiff was drawer, and the defendants acceptors. The de fence was, that the defendants were indebted to several other creditors in varions other sums, the particulars of which they `set out in their plea, and that' they were unable to pay more than 10s. in the pound, whereupon they offered to the creditors and to the plaintiff to pay - them that compensation, which the creditors and plaintiff agreed to accept—that the creditors did take that composition, and forbore to sue, and the plea thcn stated that 'the defendants paid the plaintiff £ll6 3s. 8141., be •ing the amount of their composition ; hot the plaintiff would not give up the bill, but suddenly and fraudently seized the money, and refused to deliver up the bill unless the amount was paid, `and kept both bill and money. At the trial it was proved that 'the plaintiff had agreed to take the composition, and Andrew ,Buchan, the defendant's clerk, stated he went by the direction of defendant to pay the composition; saw the plaintiff, and put -the money-on the desk; the plaintiff said it was not sufficient, on which witness took it up, whereupon the plaintiff seized it, and said he would give credit for it, but would not give up the bill until the whole was paid. Mr. Alexander urged that it wami scandalous transaction, and that the plaintiff ought not to be allowed to recover; but Lord Abinger, who tried the 'cause, said there was no proof given at the trial that the other creditors accepted and took the composition, and therefore the defendants had not made out their defence as stated in their plea, and therefore, however he regretted it, the verdict for the plaintiff must stand.—Rule refused. COURT OF CHANCERY, SATURDAY, Nov. 7. The master of the rolls and Mr. Justice Bosanquet sat to-day in the Court of Chancery as Lords Commissioners. This was the first sitting ofthe court during the present term. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE SOCIETY FOR THE CON VERSION OF NEGRO SLAVES.—Mr. Wigram said he had to ap ply to the court for an order in this case. Their lordships were probably aware that many years since a gentleman named Robert Boyle, by will bequeathed a very large sum of money, the interest of which he directed to be applied to the ,conversion of negro slaves in certain of the West India Islands. By let ters patent, granted in the seventeenth century, a..society for the administration of this fund was incorporated, under the title of "The society for the conversion of negro slaves." Since the passing of the West India relief bill, however, there were, in fact, no negro slaves, consequently the bishop of London, as head of the society, applied to the court for a reference to the master to approve of a scheme for the administration of the fund. The master reported that the benefits ought to be ex tended to those who had once been in slavery, but who were now released under the emancipation bill. This scheme was not objected to, hut the society, with the consent of the attor ney-general, and all parties interested, wished the benefits of the fund to be extended to all the West India islands (not a few), and also to the Mauritius. He (Mr. W.) therefore hoped the court would make an order to that effect, without reference to the master. Their lordships said, as all parties consented, they would make an order to extend the benefits of the charity as prayed. THE PEERAGE. In one of Dr. Parr's pamphlets, who in his day was characterized as a whig and something more, we recently met with the following character of the British Peerage : —" I wish to see," says the Doctor, " in our own country the peerage preserved, but not to see peers wantonly or insidiously multiplied. I wish to see them invested, not with teazing and invidious privileges, but with' substantial and splendid rights. Indeed by the spirit of the English constitution, they are the supporters, not the creatures, of the crown. They ate legisla tors for the people, but not their oppressors. l'hey Matte a com mon interest with the people, and uncommon obligation to pre serve it. While their duties in public life, thus assist in upholding the state, their manners in private life must be allowed to adorn society. Habitually conscious of a dignity which invites respect without imposing submission, they seldom wound the feelings of delicate and independent minds, by the gross insolence of wealth, or by the overbearing arrogance of station. They are placed above those petty competitions for importance, and those petty excitements to tyranny, which we sometimes lament in the inferior ranks of our gentry. They are not more rapacious than other members of the community as landlords, nor more contentious as neighbours, nor more immoral, I would hope, as men. They are at once too great to be generally envied, and not great enough to he generally feared. Such in favour of the English peerage, are the senti ments of a man, whose imagination, I. trust, is not easily dazzled by the glare of opulence, and whose spirit, I am certain, never shrunk from the frowns of power. From the natural progression of those causes which infuse industry and wealth through society, inequalities will arise, and having arisen, they will lead to distinctions of some kind or other. But to me it seems, that in circumstances, by which the peers of England are separated from other citizens, and in those by which they are connected with them, feudal institutions have been so tem pered and modified by the progress of civilization, and the dif fusion of general liberty, as to justify every impartial well wisher of his country in resisting all attempts to facilitate the subversion of the peerage. " I. doubt whether those who would destroy the peerage be disposed to endure monarchy in any form ; and I ant sure that they who would extend English liberty upon the principles of the English constitution, will be careful not to drive a powerful order of men, upon principles of self-preserration, into such a con federacy with the crown ' as may prove injurious to that liberty." —Sequel to the Printed Paper, 2nd edit., 1792. RECEPTION OF THE CHISHOLM BY HIS CONSTITUENTS. FORT WILLIAM.---Last week, Chisholm of Chisholsn arrived at this place to visit his constituents. His reception among us must have been highly gratifying. A considerable number of the constituency joined him on the way from the hospitable mansion of Sir Duncan Cameron; and the cortege, as it enter ed Port William, had a very imposing effect. A respectable company sat down to an excellent cold collation in the Cale donian Hotel, of which Colonel Ross of Tirndrish presided. Among the company were Colonel Cameron of Letterfinlav ; Captain P. Cameron, yr. of Fassfearn; Charles Stewart, Esq. yr..of Ballichulish ; Colonel Cochrane; Mr. Smith, Glenevis, &c. &c.—The King's health, proposed from the chair, was re ceived and drank with the warm.indication of loyalty character istic of Highlandmen. Then followed the healths of the Chiefs and Proprietors connected with Lochaber. On .31r. Macintyre of Kilmanivaig being called upon from the chair, he proposed, the health of our excellent and talented Member of P4trlia ment." "We live," said the Rev. Gentleman, "in an age which is destined to occupy a very marked place on the pages of history. It is pregnant with mighty things for weal or for woe, to generations vet unborn. The arts and sciences have made in it a proud advancement, and with them great and gene rpl improvements have taken place. This, in itself, is gratify ing. Yet we cannot disguise from ourselves the painful reality that the boasted attainments of our day are not free from an un ballhwed alloy, and that many circumstances have combined to give an undue impulse, an oblique direction to the public mind —that there prevails a feverish desire of inflicting empirical experiments on our constitution, so' that the danger to which we find ourselves exposed is, that in our professed endeavour to improve, we may weaken or destroy the time-hallowed institutions . of our envied country. It is evident, therefore, that our safety lies in sending men of moderate, and at the same timeenlight ened views, to represent us in the great national council—men, who, having themselves a large stake in the stability of our affairs, will thus at once improve and preserve. lam firmly persuaded that the county of Inverness has done itself great honour, and the state some service, by sending to Parliament our present worthy, pious, and enlightened representative, whose health I have now the pleasure of proposing." The toast was drank with loud applause. The Chisholm, in rising to return thanks, thus addressed the company :—" I beg to re turn you my most sincere thanks, gentlemen, for the very kind manner its which you have drank my health. My friend Mr. Macintyre has so well, so concisely, and yet so completely, stated the nature and objects of conservatism, that I feet it to be wholly unnecessary for me to attempt to go over that ground. Entertaining, as I trust and believe I do, a most sincere and earnest desire for the instruction and improvement in evert , way of all our fellow-creatures, I am yet must anxious and -deter mined, so far as I have the power, to uphold and protect the long-established and venerated institutions of our country. It is an old remark, and I am satisfied of its correctness, that if ever the liberties of this country are ruined it will be by the House of Commons. What have we at this moment, truly and soberly speaking, to fear from the King, or from the House of Lords'? The House of Commons is alone really and actually irresponsible. To its growing preponderance, it will be our wisdom to oppose ourselves by being ready to throw our weight into the opposite scale of the constitution." CONVICTIONS UNDER THE FACTORY ACT. At the Ulverstone Petit Sessions, held on the 29th ult. before William Gale, Esq. John Penny Macho', Esq. end the Rev. R. Graham,—Messrs. Ainsworth and Sous, of Backbarrow, cotton spinners, appeared to the notice of Mr. John .1 - leatheote, Super intendent of Factories, for several offences against the Factory act. Mr. Ainsworth admitted the cases. Being the second of fence, they were fined £lO for not keeping the time hooks; £lO for working twenty children, under twelve years of age, more than nice hours per (lay, or forty-eight the week; and £5 for working several young persons. under eighteen years of age, more than sixty-nine hours per week. The amount of the penal ties deducting the costs, was left in the hands of the magistrates, to be given to the National School at Haverthwaite.—Mr. l'hi lip Hartley, at Ulverstone admitted the charges preferred against him. Fined £5 forworking young persons, under eighteen years of age, more than 69 hours per week; and £5 for not taking out medical certificates for children under twelve years of age.— Mr. Robert Briggs, of Ulverstone, pleaded guilty. Fined £5 for working young persons more than twelve hours per day; and £5 for not allowing the regular time for meals, and snaking false entries to his time book. The amount of the fines, after deducting the costs, to he divided between the National and Town Bauk Schools, Ulverstone. At the Court House, Preston, on the 31st. ult., before the mayor,.Messrs. Barker and Swainson, of Preston, cotton-spin ners, admitted several complaints preferred against them by Mr. John Heathcote, Superintendent of factories. Fined £5, and costs, for not having required and received medical certi ficates for several children under twelve years of age. The other charges were withdrawn. The amount of penalty to be divided between the schools. At Frome an organised gang of depredators has been formed, whose principal source of plunder is to rob houses on Sunday evenings when the inhabitants are absent attending divine ser vice. DUELS EXTRAORDINARY.—;A lieutenant in the navy, while ascending the river in a steam-boat, became involved in a quar rel with three persons from Arkansas, two of them brothers. He was challenged by one of the brothers, and endeavoured to " back out," but the other party insisted upon a fight, and a gentleman volunteering to be second for the officer, they went ashore to settle their difference. At the first fire the lieutenant received his adversary's ball in his hip, and asked if he was sa tisfied, to which his antagonist replied, " No, not nntil one of us is killed." They took another shot and the lieutenant's ad versary fell dead. His brother then insisted on a fight, which the second of the lieutenant endeavoured in vain to prevent. They fired and the other brother was shot dead. The second of the deceased, becoming enraged with the lieutenant's second, shot and killed him, and was in turn shot dead by the lieuten ant, who was conveyed from the field much exhausted by the loss of blood, and is now at Louisville, recovering, under the care of his physicians. Thus four men were left dead upon the field.—Cincinati P,14. NOVEMBER 10. 15:35. DESERTION OF MILITARY Felt TIIE QUEEN 0 SPAIN'S SERVICE. We regret to have-to-notice that six of the privates of the 60th Rifle corps, in this garrison, have disgraced themselves by.- de-. sertion from the service of the King to that of the Queen of Spain. This discreditable act occurred on Wednesday. They left the barracks in the morning, and made their way to Cove, where they joined the 2d, or, as they are called, Queen's Own British Legion of Lancers, on board the Royal Tar steamer. which was, we understand, to have this day sailed for Santander. As soon as this intelligence reached the officer in command, the Hon. Col. Ellis, he directed Adjutant Townsend to proceed to Cove, with a serjeant, a corporal, agylTour privates, for the pur-' pose of arresting and bringing them back. to Cove accordingly the adjutant and his teen proceeded, and having obtained the assistance of Deputy Water Bailiff, Captain Storey, they pushed off in a small boat, for the Royal Tar. Arrived alongside, as' . if aware of the object of their visit, preparati ons f or res i s tance 'were immediately visible among the auxiliaries. Mr. Townsend was told that neither he nor his party would be allowed to go on ' board, and that if they attempted it, it would be at the hazard of their lives. Mr. 'l'ownsend inquired for the officer in com mand, and that gentleman having made his appearance, the ad jutant acquainted him with his business. The officer, turning to his men, reqnested that Mr. Townsend should be permitted to go on board. This, after some time, was assented to, and Mr. Townsend went on board and demanded the deserters. The "Queen's Own" denied that there were any there. He required • permission to search the vessel, and that the men whoa he had brought with him should he allowed to accompany him. This also was assented to, and the serjeant and men went below for the purpose of instituting the search. On arriving at the coal cellar, they requested to be accommodated with a light. This was refused, and they had to grope about in the dark. Tbey succeeded, however, in finding the men whom they were in par- . suit of, and drew them o ne by one from their lurking-place. They were brought on deck, and handed over to the adjutant , but no sooner was this done than a most furious and . savage assault was made on •M r. Townsend and his small party by the. " Lancers," wire had'armed themselves with staves, handspikes, iron bars, grappling irons, &c. Their arms were thrown over boaad, themselves beaten, one of them flung into the water, whence he was with difficulty rescued, and the adjutant threatened with death. Some of the scoundrels *ailed out several times; " Hang him from the yard arm," and but for the interposition of their officers, particularly of the serjeant-major, there is lit tle doubt but they would have made the attempt. One fellow struck at him with a grappling iron, but the blow was warded by a Spanish officer. The serjeant was rut in the temple, and' one of his party wounded in the head with a bar of iron. For tunately, however, they escaped without much further injury, and having got into their boat, they returned to Cork. Here they lodged informations of what had occurred, and SheriX Rogers and W. P. White, Esq., Harbour -master, with party of the city constabulary under Chief Constable Haduett, ,and about one hundred of the 60th Rifles and of the 90th Regiment. under Major Slane, proceeded by the Lee steamer for Cove. They immediately hoarded the Royal Tar, and commenced a search for the deserters, but these had been sent on shore in the interim, and as it was then late in the evening the party were unable to obtain any tidings of them. They captured. however. seven of the " Lancers ' charged with the assault on Mr Townsend's party, and brought them into town. Their names. are :—Serjeants Thomas Murphy and Edward Ward; Cor poral Patrick Ryan; Privates, Patrick Sweeny,, Thomas R,ior dau; Michel Donegan, and Timothy Donovan. They are charged with riot and conspiracy, and have been committed to to gaol to abide their trial on Friday next before the Recorder. The Rifles are under orders for foreign service, and this is sup posed to have been in some measure the cause of the desertion of the men.—Cork Constitution. BANKRUPTCY ANNUITANTS. The Morning Chronicle of Thursday made an awful mistake in saying that the bankruptcy annuitants were paid by the public- We are glad, however, that our contemporary did make thif mistake, because it gives us an opportunity to call attention to a Whig job more flagrant in moral turpitude perhaps than any which disgraces the annals of whiggery. Unless we could prove the fact by means of unerring figures , such as that two and two make four, we should almost shrink from stating it, that the sum of sixteen thousand pounds per ann tea is whiggisjilv extracted from ruined bankrupts and their credi tors under the plea of compensating—that is the word, compen sating—the discarded and despised Septuagint, whose miscon , duct in their office rendered it " expedient "—we use the words of the act of Parliament—" to provide means of administering and distributing the effects of bankrupts with as little expense, delay, and uncertainty AS POSSIBLE!' Now the old Court of Bankruptcy which was thus declared impliedly by . the legislature to be dilatory, expensive, and tin certain, consisted of seventy commissioners paid by fees, which fees were always voluntarily paid for some apparent service' rendered to the parties concerned. In case of dissatisfaction as to the adjudication of those seventy tierntots, there was aIWY' an appeal direct to the Chancellor. All this our readers know' was bad enough, and they also know that we laid the axe to the root of the tree, and that we did not relinquish our blows until we felled the monster. But, alas, alas ! how vain are the acts 0 finite creatures. Little did we think that nut of OUP unbounde d desires and unwearied exertions to benefit the community, we were in fact opening the door for the rush of reform in the shape of 'compensation money to old commissioners, &c., amounting !c,', nearly as much to be paid compulsorily as was formerly pad voluntarily; and that superadded to this compensation money, there was what Cobbett called a dead-weight of living incubi t ) be paid annually, above twenty-six thousand pounds Thus the matter stands : Compensation Money £IG,OOO Four Judges 9,01X) Six Commissioners One Secretary Two Registrars 1,400 Eight Detiuty Registrars First Clerk to the Secretary 5OO Second Clerk to the Secretary 3(t) £42.'200 Here then--say nothing about the myrmidon-monsters in tho w shape or nssengers, official assignees, B:32.—Tvb haie' forty" two thousand per annum, extorted by reform law out of the wrecks of bankruptcies ! No wonder our vicarious contem porary, the Morning Chronicle, wanted to persuade the world that the public at large bore this burden. Now we maintain, in spite of all the lawyers in Englan d '. that the legislature. had no actual or delegateEl power to confis:, eate the private property of the King's subjects for compensating discarded judges, whose services, good or bad, in former bank' ruptcies, had not and could not by possibility, have any refer ence to the bankruptcies from which the compensation motif). is now extorted. And we further maintain that the legislatur e. in thus confiscating the private property of the King's subjeet 9 • was guilty of an odious and flagrant piece of tyranny. More anon.—Age.
