COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was yesterday held
at Guildhall, at which the LORD MAYOR presided.
He laid before the Court a Letter he had received
from Captain Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, Bart.
is answer to the Vote of Thanks of the Court, ex-
pressing his satisfaction of the high testimony of the
good opinion which the metropolis of the country
had condescended to favour him with ; which was
read, and ordered to be entered on the Journals of the
Court.
The Court voted the sum of 1001. towards the
general purposes of the Asylum of the deaf and,
dumb children of the poor.
Alderman Hanger shortly stated to the Court,
that, pursuant to a notice given on a former day,
he had a motion to make respeding the allowance
of some small sum towards oetrevoir tne expence
of building a Protestant Episcopal church in the
City of Montreal, in Canada. Ile conceived that
there was no gentleman present who was not well
aware of the rteceeitity of having a Protestant church
in a British Colony of such importance, particularly
as the Catholic religion was there so extremely pre-
dominant. In his opinion, this City could in no in-
stance emend her bounty with so much propriety
as in the present. The sum required was so small,
it could not he considered an objcd, and therefore
should be granted cheerfully Allit with unanimity.
The worthy Alderman then said, he would take op
the time at the Court no innoer, and concluded by
moving .4 that the sum of MI, should be granted
towards defraying the repent, of building a Protes-
tant Episcopal Church in the City of Montreal."
The Lour Mavo* here took occasion to state.
that he had understood from several of the merchants
trading to Canada, and other persons connected
with that country, that 1001. with what had been
already raised, would be a sufficient sum to rebuild
the church.
Mr. GRIFFITHS said, in the state the finances of
the City Oen were, he did not think they should be
squandering away the money by giving 2001., when
but 1001. was required. The diff:rent debts which
were due should foot be paid, before they coulu
indulge their generosity ; and he therefore p! f).
posed, a. an amendment, " that the sum of 1001
Daly should be voted."
Mr. WA t rev r 4. and some other Gentlomen,
supported this Amendment. on the grounds that the
1001. bad been the sum required.
Several Gentlemen, at the other side, were of opi-
nion, that the larger sum should be given, for the
purpose of supprting the dignity ant liberality of
the City of London. They also stated, that they
bed conversations with several Gentlemen connected
with Canada, and they welt all of opinion, that
tOOl. would be much mote acceptable than 1001.
The question was then put, and carried, without a
division, against the amendment.
Strangers were then ordered to wirhdraw ; and
the Court, after deliberating on business of a private
nature, adjourned.

FOREIGN INTELLIGLNCE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

!tiISCELLANIF.S.

EXTRACT or A LETTER ►ROY 1111141011, r..
The month of January, 1806, will be ever me-
morable in the annals of Munich. Inlais new
royal residence many political and family events,
which begin a new epoch in history, followed close-
ly after each other. The influx of strangers of ill
ranks was extraordinary. The most remarkable
occurrences which took place between the arrival of
the Empress of France, and the proclamation of
the regal dignity on new year's day, and likewise
the particulars of the festivities at the palace of
Schleissheim, have already been detailed. But the
King of Wirtemberg, for whose reception cannon
bad been planted, and attendants sent forward to
the next post, contrary to expectation, never made
his appearance.

On the arrival of Prince Eugene Napoleon, the
festivities were redoubled. The amiable Viceroy
wore a red uniform, embroidered with silver ; but,
like his Royal Bride, was dressed, at the nuptials, in
white. The Princess wore the necklace and diadem,
together with the other brilliants and pearls, which
the Prince had presented to her. Her beautitul
dress for the ceremony only arrived the same morn-
ing, by a courier, from Paris. The Journals of
Fashion would be able to compose whole treatises
on the taste, the magnificence and the variety of
the wardrobe of the Empress of France. The
Dowager Duchess of Deuxponts was frequently
dressed in her 'Marne, as an Abbess of the Convent
of St. Anna, at Munich.
A spectacle, which produced an effeA equally
singular, was exhibited by a Chamberlain in the
Ecclesiastical retinue of the Elector Arch-Chancel-
lor, who wore an hussar uniform. The ladies who
went to Court were frequently obliged to dress three
times in one day. The restame of the three Wittels-
bachs, was beautifully old fashioned. It was a pre-
sent horn our King, who has likewise granted them
a pension for life. When the audience at the Opera
greeted the new-married pair with a vivant, they
both rose and made a low bow. The dowry. which
the states hal voluntarily increased to too,or)o gul-
den, her Royal Highness has aattans- direa..,l to lie
distributed in marriage portions, for fifty poor girls,
and pensions for two invalids from each Bavarian
regiment.

The residence of the Emperor Napoleon in this
city, ha thrown more light on his private life than
all the Parisian accounts which have yet appeared.
On new year's eve he played at cards (recerail in
the apartments of the Empress, with the Queen, the
Princesses, and Marshal l)uroc. He all at once
dire:led music to be brought, and joined with spirit
in the dance. He has a handsome foot, and rcally
darces well.

I l lives on the most confidential footing with the
Emp• ess. On the morning of new yeat's day, he
made his first appearance in public, on horseback.
At balls and concerts he conversed much with the
young ladies. At the parade, his appearance pro-
duced a general vigil. If the Monarch sits negli-
gently on horseback, and wears a shabby hat is the
morning, he is only like the great Frederic in those
respees. He dresses so much the better for the
evening, with pumps Irtrarphit) and silk stockings.
He is even well acquainted with the female tudrite,
and manifests considerable attention to the subj.&
As he rode through our fair, he made inquiries of
the trades-people, concerning their commodities,
and immediately distinguished English wares. Nut-
withstandirg the paleness of his complexi.m, lie
looks well, and has gained considerably in flesh dur-
ing the last two years.
What the Emperor said was short, and bore the
stamp of This was partit ularly manifested
in the expressions he made use of on receiving the
numerous deputa'ions every day. When the Mi-
nister had read the first article of the matriage con-
tract, and was proceediag to the second, be cried
out Cgs, 6.ttes.

On the wedding day, his dress made him appear
quite young. He wore the Imperial coat, but with-
out tie mantle, and an extraordinary quantity of
bri:liants. He is fond of saying handsome things to
the Empress ; and when she came oat of her apart-
ment, he exclaimed, rotrett, I kite commie e
At the wedding ball, the Emperor, before he began
to dance, put the diamond chain belonging to his
regalia, round the neck of his consort, and did not
take it again till the-ball was over.
The presents distributed here, amntrit to some
millions. All the principal officers of the Bavarian
Court received sn.iff-boxes, with brilliants and por-
trait; sad the chamiiei tains, equerries, and ladies
of the Court, had swill' holes, rings, ear-rings,
g•sld watches, Ste The servants and the chapel
were presented with 100,000 livers. The Elector
Arch-Chancellor received a ring worth 51,000
Betts, and a promise of six paintings in oil of the
mierial, Royal, and Vice-Royal ?airs. Prince

Eugene likewise gave to the butchers 53 ieu:s d'ors,
and to the servants, 20,000 livres.

The parting of the 17th, and that of the 19th of
January, were affecting family scenes. The Em-
press said : jamni, se cure de Abanie.
The King made her promise to pay another visit
to our city in the sunsmer of next year.

STUIGARD. TEN. '2O.

\V: en the Emperor Napoleon, on his march to
Germany, passed a few days at our Court, the nup-
tials of P.ol, the second son of the King of Wir-
ten-16,27g, with the Princess of liildhurghausen, had
just been solemnized. The Fmperor told the new-
married Princess, that he should make her a little
present on the occasion, but Lhnuld leave the choice
of it to the Empress. This present, a short time
ago, arrivel at this place, and a description of it
cannot fail to prove interesting to the female reader.
The envelope in which it was packed up is of green
velvet, with festoons of pure gold ; it is in the
form of a long antique vase; the knot of the cover
is a gold ball, transfixed with the arrow of Cupid,
and the ball itselt is encircled with a wreath of
roses. 'file contents of this beautiful vase consisted
of the following articles :
1. A Armin of English point, ornamented with a simple,
but tasteful border; the train is of considerable length,
?. Another chemise of the tams kind, of black point, with a
Wrier of the patters called wolfs teeth.

3. A Aglaia, cut round, of white satin, with a border o
,rets, exquisitely embroidered in gold ; above it a tunics
of silver tulle, with geld fringe.
4. A white crape dress, very elegantly embroidered with
white silk.

S. A second dress of white crape, bordered with boy/tiers of
and a Mameliike mantle of role coloured set;n, with the
SJllle kind of bunter, end besides embroidered with steel.

6. A morninc rhemiat E. 14 India muslin, embroidered
with huitensia lowers.
7. A veil of point, with a border in the form of
%on teeth.

S. A round veil of tatie en termehelle, worLed with gold,
and w th a broad gold lacc.
9 A pitve of East-Ind.& muslin, embrodared with silver.

This velvet vase was accompanied with two
boxes, one of which contained three turbans, em-
broidered with silver, steel, and gold, and decorated
with heron's feathers, and awretlet, and three caps,
embellished with Rowers. The second box contained
artificial flowers of every kind, as beautiful in shape
and colour as nature itself. There was likewise a
net garland of uncommonly pleasing shape and
appearance. The value of the whole is estimated,
by tonneinturs, at about 70,000 guilders.

A Letter from Rouen, dated Feb. 16, says,
w The comet which our Astronomers discovered
through the fogs of the Seine, still continues to ex-
cite the utmost anxiety among the ignorant classes
of the people. In several groupes, collected last
night upon the quays, there were either rogues or
tools, who ventured to predict that the end of the
world would take place at twelve o'clock precisely.
On the faith of these prophets, other fools hastened,
in cri.svds, to the churches, to prepare for the tre-
mendous catastrophe with which they were threat-
ened. When we reflect on the propensity of the
multitude to be led away by deception, we shall not
be astonished at the grossness of the snares which
Are laid for it, but that a much greater number are
not deceived. There will be rogues and impostors,
as long as there are dupes and ignorant people ;
that is, for ever."

A Letter howl Petersbnrgh, dated Feb. 15, says,
At half-past ten o'clock at night, on the I2th inst.
a fire suddenly broke out in the Kuschelew Palace,
which raged with such fury, that the German Theo-
tre, which formed a part of the above-mentioned
Palace, and where the fire commenced, became a
prey to the flames. The presence of the EMPEROR,
who, with the Grand Duke CONSTANTIME, in-
defatigably commanded, till four o'clock in the
morning, the regiment of Guards that hastened to
assist in extinguishing the conflagration, together
with the excellent measures of the police, prevented
the spreading of the flames, which would otherwise
have been inevitable in that populous part of the
city. The German Theatre was completely re-
duced to ashes, and the damage is estimated at
60,000 rubles. Fortunately, no lives were lost. A
small p irt of the wardrobe was saved, but every
thing ehe belonging to the stage was consumed."
A Proprietor of East India Stock, desirous of
obtaining information that maychreft his judgment
in giving his votes to candidates for the diration.
states, that by the Ist section of the 9th Rye-law of
the Ea,t India Company, It is ordained, that
every Member of this Company who shall, direftly
or indirectly, under any colour or pretence what-
soever, trade within the limits of the Company's
charter, otherwise than in the joint stock of the
Company, except in the manner, and under the re-
gulation and restriaion provided by AR of Parlia-
ment, or the Bye-laws of the Company, shall for-
feit and lose to the use of the said Company, the
value of all money, goods, and merchandise, so
traded for, over and above all other penalties and for-
feitures imposed by AR of Parliament, and be ren-
dered incapable of serving the Company in meg office
or plitre whatsoever ;" and, upon that ground, solicits
the opinion of those conversant with the subject,
whether a Member of the Company, or, in other
words, a Proprietor of East India Stock, who has
been convided of such illicit trading, and fined in
consequence, is, or is not, thereby rendered disquali-
fied to stand for the office of Director ? and whether
the eledtion of a person so circumstanced to serve the
Company in that situation, would not be a dire&
breach and total violation of the Bye-law above
mentioned ? and whether those wbo are acquainted
with the fate, and give their suffrages to such a per-
son, would not be reprehensible, and in some way
offending against the Bye-laws of the Company ?

MR. 11.41?R1", FUNERAL. 4

Y. sterday afternoon the remains of this dis-
tinguished artist were rembved from the house of
Mr. PAGE, the Trude:taker, to the great room of
77te Sort. to v' .4pr., in the Adelplii, where prerata-
tions had been made by the Soctety; for a solemn
and respalful tribute to the memory of this great
departed genuis. A screen of black cloth was ereded,
forming an area in the centre of the room, with au
avenue thereto, which screen, with great propriety,
admitted his unparalleled series of five pi/awes.
which adorn the walls of the room, to be seen over it.
I'he Ccllin is covered with black, the furniture of\
which :s also black, but very elegant ; this was placed
in the centre of the area, surmounted with black f
plumes, and surrounded with six large tapers ; 'nit
more than seventy wax lights, affixed to silver
escutcheons on the screen, added greatly to the
solemnity of the scene. In the course of the even-
ing a great number of the Members of the Society, •
and Friends of the deceased, attended this solemnity, d
where every thing was condueled with the utmost
order and propriety. Most of the Royal Acade-
mecians and distinguished Artists of this country,
are expeCled to join in the funeral procession, which
moves this day, at twelve o'clock, from the Society's
housed to St. Paul's.

The inhabitants and vistors of Bath are equally
the votaries of pleasure and humanity ; their pre-

The Plantagenet, 74, which arrived at Plvornuth
on Monday, heard at sea the account of an Officer

A most singular occurrence tank phice yesterd ty
in the Court of Chancery, Lincoln's Inn. While the
Cuancaaton was sitting, a reduced lurking woman,
apparently deranged in mind, had Laken her sta-
tion at the side of the bar, and talking rather in a,
high tone, the Officer of the Court was ;n the act
of removing her, when she exclaimed, with shrieks,
t• I will have justice ! I must have my titie deeds !
I want my rights, if Mr. ERMINE does not give it
to me, I'll have him taken up by the Sheriff!" His
Lordship very humanely desired the poor woman,
should not be hurt, and if she conducted her-elf
quietly, to let her remain in Court. She wets very
peaceable the remainder of the day, but we under-
stand she has frequently made similar attacks on
the late Cii Net toe.
At the Justice Room, Guildhall, yesterday, jolis

At [seam AM, in a very severe manner, reprimanded
the Constable for compromising any charge after

Switintuso.—Last week, two men made their
appearance at Aspatria ; one of them tall, and, ap.
patently, between 30 and 40 years of age, with long
black hair, and a scar on his upper lip. He pre-
tended to be lame of one leg, and walked with a
crutch. The other was a short man, and he also
appeared to be lame of his left arm. They went to
the house of Mr. Joists HAKRISOI4, overseer of the
poor (who-was from home), and set forth to his
wife, that they had been shipwrecked at the Isle of
Mann ; that they were et,* of them in number, and
were going to Scotland, their native country ; add-
ing, that tne other six had gone forward, in a cart,
towards Wigton. They strewed a forged pass,
which they pretended they had got at the Isle of
Mann, and had also forged the name of the Rev.
M.. CHURCH, of Whitehaven. Mrs. liasassos,
not disputing their veracity, relieved them with
four shillings. They then went to the other over-

This was a queo ion upon a forfeiture by breach
•f covenant, the porticulars of whit+ we gave
in our paper of yesterday, when the cause stood
over for the Lotto Co •tsc cttoa's 800 l judgment,
which his Lordship pronounced this morn og.
His Lordship prefaced his judgment by observ-
ing, that lie hod 'conked into the several authorities
upon the subjen, and carefully examined the plead-
ing, and read the depositions, and the great ohjed
appeared to be, the laying out of 2001. upon the
premises in question, pursuant to the covenant.
The Lessee died helots the tiese had expired. within
the period in which that sum was to he expended,
and that time was suffered to elapse, and no no:ice
was given by the Le:oor, and without that notice
the ejedment was brought. Immediately after-
wards notice was given to the Landlord, expressing
a readiness of the party to lay out that sum. It ap-
peared a most material feature in this case, whatthe
Master of the Rolls did on the subj.& who wossatis-
Jed the breech had Men merle; he did not dismiss the
bill. but gevethe Plaintiffs an opportunoy of going
to a Court of Equity for relief It was not the part
of a Court of Equity to restrain any party front his
tights; when a right is vested in him by law to do
an ad which he has a right to do, the Court must take
great care how it iaterteres with that right ; but
when a party takes advantage of a forfeiture, the
Court will interfere when there is a clear mode of
relief. The obvious intention of a covenant for
payment of tent is, that the party may be able to
ssess himself of the premises in case of failure ;
but when the rent and all expences thereon are paid,
and he is pot in the same situation as before, the
Court of Equity will interfere, and not turn the is-
sant out of possession. The case most assimi-
loted to that, his Lordship considered the case
before the Curt. A party is always bound
to perform a covenant; and if not performed, two
questions must arise, that is, to distinguish the
jurisdiction of the Court, what it hos a righi
to do, and what it Illy do. In a Court of Law,
the case is left to a duty assisted by the Judge,
but in th's Court, x Judge must do the best he can
to administer justice between all parties. Then, if
it were a use in which a Court of Equity could in
terfere, the next qoestion was, whither it were a case
where clear cosnoensotiou could be made ? His
Lordship then referred to several cases upon this
tubjed, from sclooli he adduced, that the standing
rule of the Coon was to giant relief where a thing
could he done, sir compel sotion made; but, he was
net literally to take the pound of flesh, and where
a man coil' he put in shoo quo, the Court might
relieve. According to the ductaine of Lord North-
legion, for whose authority, no person had a
higher resoect, if the the landlord were not put in
the same state he was before the bleach of cove-
nant, it would he en arbitrary exercise of the juris-
diOicn of the Court ; hut in cases where damages
Can be ineasured, the Court will interfere. From
various rases upon this subject, they did not go the
length of olying the Court was compelled to do
Ibis, but that it was in the discretion of the Court to
do so liis Lordship, supposed a man to have got a
gisod eonnecuon, and improved his business, and
therehy made the premisesmore valuable, and that he
bad lat.., nut 1991 in repairs; was thelandlord to say,
" ou have not laid out the other pound, and I will
turn you out " Placing himself as the landlord of the
Latty, or an arbitrator between the parti, s, his
ordship declared, he wished to do that which an
honest man would do; and the decree he should
pronsuitce most be beneficial to the landlord, be-
cense lie should have complete compensation. If
the man were to be turned out, he must lose his
trade, his house, art_ perhaps his all. But the evi-
dence of the witnesses went to the time subsequent
to bringing the Ejetlment, when the tenant could
not go on %jib Lis repairs. His Lordship ctrtawly
found that the money had not been laid out ; but
the premises coffered nothing from the delay, before
Michaelmas, i SOB ; and the landlord was the better
for the repair s being done subsequent to that period.
His Lordship therefore ordered. under all the cir-
eumsioners, that it should he referred to the Master
to ascot tan what. compensotion should he given for
the chlapidaooro, from Michaelmas, Me, to the
time of bridging the Ejedment, and from thence to
the time of rtotoining the InjunOion. Also, that the
Plaintiffs she uld pay the costs of the Ejectment; and
his Lordship dc•obted, but that they should pay the
costs of the suit also. Wliot they had negleded to
do, was certainly in their own wrong, and they
derived an advantage from having the 2001. for so
. long a tirno in their own hands.
The SoticiTot-GavL'asL hoped his Lordship
would not be of that opinion upon she latter point, the
Plaintiffs having been driven to a Court of Equity
for relief, after making every fair offer in their power,
and having actually laid out 501. upon the premises,
and been prevented from expending the remainder,
s
by the aeli of the Defendant.

The Lotto CIIANCELLOS then ordered, that the
remaining sure of 1301. should he laid out on the
premises within six months, otherwise the injunCtion
should be dissolved, and the consideration of the
costs of the suit he reserved until the Master should
stake his teport.

On Ttonday last, as some workmen were grub-
bing op a hedge on the estate of Mr. Jolts BA *RAS,
at F.eldhouse, in the county of Durham, they found

tearing the head of Queen ELIZABETH.

disburthened about an hour before his death, by
declaring, that he had been assisted, by a man of
Horton (who died about two years since), in mur-
dering Mr. Rice, a surveyor of the math, as long
as fusty years ago. His body Limy threw into a
well, where it was then found.
