For Mr. Blake

Mr. Adgerly
The settling-day for the present account in
Consols is on Thursday next, and on the follow•inng
day the fifth instalment on the Loan is to be paid.
If the settlement discloses any material defdlcations..
they will base arisen from the transactions carried
over from the last disastrous account, as, during the
present, they have been cautious in their nature,
and comparatively limited in their extent. The
payment of the dividends will provide for the
in-
stalment on the Loan, and like the last, will scarcer•
be felt in the money market. Consols for the 14th
inst. were dour on Saturday at 691 early in the day,
hut left off at 6g, a decline of 1 per cent. Om-
nium bore a premium of 11 for money, and 13 for
the payment. Exchequer bills are at a discount

We understand that a gentleman of Hereford.
shire has prepared a Petition, to be presented to
Parliament in the next Session, praying for the
abolition of English Appeals from the Court of
Chancery to the House of Peers. Lord CASTLE.
REAGII has fully recognised, in a recent Act, the
priacipk on which this Petitioner proves the expe-
diency of such abolition ; and it will be illustrated
by his own remarkable case. in which the flagrant
objections to the practice are circumstantially de-
tailed.—( Balla Herald.)

THE NORWICH DECLARATION.—As if to com-

methods of force and fraud by which signatures have

Although I du nut go so far it/ to advocate the cause of

friend to Reform, sad a stre pporter of those Consti-

Englishmen art entitled by law to meet together, consider
their gri , and petition for relief, when injured.
It would appear, that in the exercise of this their birth-
right, his Majesty's subjects have been interrupted toe mode,
and with a precipitation and violence, that awaken the most
alarming reflections in all those who are attached to the Con-
stitution of the Country, or feel for the lives soil liberties of
their fellow-cahntrymen. In the Courts of Law and Muses
of Parliament it is that the rights of the subject miist.and.
will be asserted, and justice done to the aggrieved. It is hit.:
inanity that offers this trifling tribute, for the relief of those
maimed and mutilated sufferers, whose distressed situation
appears to call for sympathy and sn pport. .
