BKAZILIA V LOAN.

The following letter (anwrently circular) has been sent to
one of the candidates tor the Brazilian Loan :
•• York-street, Mav 7. 1834-
"GE ter LE m —We have received your tender for the proposed
Brazilian Loan, but it appearing to us that yours and all the other
otters have been made under an impremion us to the state of Brazil,
which we know to be ernmentis, we think it proper not to negociato
the Loan by tender, while the actual circumstances of the Biaziliaa
empire are so ill understood.

We feel obliged, by the part you and the other candidates hays
taken, and shall faithfully perform our promise not to communicate
to any one the elm we have received . and if at any future time
we should feel it right to adopt the same COUne (We mean that at
individual tender) we si►all not fait to Infants you and Misdate
candidates without ;•reference or partiality.

Mr. Belzoni, we undeiitapoor ; he hu left
widow, who was long the sharer of his trials and the par-
ticipator of his pleasures. His parents, who reside in Italy,
are very respectable people, and of good origin, although
sudden misfortunes compelled two of their sons to seek a
subsistence in England, by exhibiting the extraordinary
effects of muscular strength. The aged persons are de-
pendent upon their children for support. Mr. Francis
Belzoni, who it a few years younger than his deceased
brother, it is expected will follow up the discoveries of the
latter.

The following is an extract of a private letter of the r2Vd
ult. from Madrid :—" &nee the departure of ;eneral Boor-
moat, the hopes of an amnesty appear to have been reviv-
ed. The King will leave Toledo for Aranjuez on the 24th.
Since his Majesty's stay at the former place, the party of
Don Victor Saez have employed their utmost efibets ao
turn out the present ministry, and replace them in part by
the old one ; but Ugarte was opposed to it, and the Minis-
ters have now a firmer tooting than ever. Rumours of
changes are afloat ; but they appear to proceed from the in-
trigues of the Apostolical Junta. Several retired officers
who had begged purrnission to sojourn at Madrid, in pur-
suance of the decree which secured to them their half-pay,
have received orders to quit the capital within twenty-four
hours. They are reduced to gnat distress ; for not wiz
do they receive no pay, hut orders have not even been
sent to the provincial treasuries to affbrd them succour.
Messrs. Gueohard and Achille JoutiVoy have been here
for some days, proposing, but fruitlessly, new projects
fur a loan."

ihtEanet't.Cotirt at:RATION AT WHITECII•rrL.—The
utmost alarm prevailed on Thursday evening in the minds of the
inhabitants of ()elicitor-street, ii'hitechapel, and its surrounding
neighbourhood, in consequence of the spacious sugarthouses be-
longing to Mr. Alderman Lucas, is thborne-street, nearly adjoin.
ing the Court of Itequests, being discovered to be on fire, and from
the extent of the premise. the grt aiest anxiety prevailed for the
homes on both side.. and those in Montague-street. The first sym
tuns of the conflagration wen, discovered about six o'clock in the
evening, by a volume of smoke issuing front the root' of the north
wing of the buildings; and in a few moments after flames were
perceivable, which in the most incredible manner spread their is.
sages, threatening general destruction. Instant communication was
datpatchnl to the various stations of the fire-engines, but previous
to their arrival the engines belonging to the parishes of Whitecbe.
pcl and Spitallields were promptly in attendance; but their wank
efforts to abate the devouring element had nut the least effect, mike
flames made their progress downwards with a velocity ths:irtibt-
gars desciiption. About seven o'clock the other engines
and stationed themselves in situations best calculated to get free
egress to the scene of destruction, and a plentiful supply of water
being obtained, the firemen worked with surprising alacrity. Still
their exertions appeared to be in vain, and the entire sans_
tore was in one maw of flares; the ponderous girders falling
at intervals with trentendotta crashes, followed by most awful
volumes of fire. A rot number of town carmen were in attend.
ante with their carts, in which they conveyed away as muck of
the stores as could be extricated from the burning pile, which were
deposited in the warehouses of Mews. tkipm, opposite ; but the
whole that could he saved only amounted to about II tons. At
nine o'clock the whole of the Moors, with their iron doors, fell is,
but fortunately no accident was occasioned, leaving the entire front,
nine stories high, standing. The mob that collected was so great
that the firemen could hot keep them from pressing towards the
premien., although the utmost danger presented itself, front the
state of the walls that were left standing; it was therefore necessary
to call out the civil authorities, and Mr. Miller, the chief officer of
Lambeth-street establishment, and Mr. Garton, of Worship-strert„
attended, with the whole force of the officers, and placed themselves
in various directions to keep oft the populace. The peonies.. of
Messrs. Croft and Lewis, the livery-stable-keepers, in White.
chapel, were now considered in danger, but fortunately they were
preserved from falling a prey to the devouring ekinent, which
burnt with increasing rapidity till about five o'clock yesterday
morning, when it was got under, but not aid the spacious buildings
were reduced to a mass cl ruins. The origin of the disaster is sup-
posed to have been caused by the pan chimney throwing out too
much heat into the drying room on the attic, where the smoke was
disuivered to be issuing from. The premises we are given to es-
&Wand, are insured, together with the stork, to the amount of
28,22111., in the offices of the Sun, Hernia, Exchange, Imperial,
Globe, Union, and Eagle. It is a singular circumstance that, abate
24 years ago, a tire took place upos the mine site, and the troth
wail which then escaped the conflagration is now standing.

This interesting Society, Instituted for the purpose of supplying
British merchant ships with the Italy Scripture.. held Its Sixth

to tail. to the Society.
Tli Sec et:Tette then read the Report, which caddied many

London and Gravesend ; all of the moat gratif_yieg description,—
and tchiling to chew that the character of our British seamen is

and beneficiel effects. The Report muted dog the Society had, since
its osomencement, distributed 11117 bibles, and eille testae:mum.
The TneAseltell then stated that the amount of the receipts
during the last year was VIM its. &l. which had ben expended in
various ways, all but a small balance of 111. 3.4. I.
The Rev. A. Ell A M rTON Secretary to the British and Foreign
Bible Soddy. rose to move that the Report be approved and widely
circulated. Ile attended at that meeting in one bens: cerainlyer
officio, but in another sense his sou:name was prompted by the
warmth of his sincerest attachment to its blessed object. He had
heard the Report read with doable saturation. as it re:Wailed him
that while that great Society, whose anniversary they celebrated
last ‘Vcdnesitay, sought to spread the word of life to all the world,

duty of those who felt kr the cause of Christ. They had to show
them dint there was an uteject worthy of that regard which they felt,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FaIDAT, MAY 7.

JDDGIIENT ON BEER AND WARD.
The LOall CHAxe Et.t.r.erstlMCd the declaration of his judg
mem in this ease, which bud beet, interrupted by the rising of the
Court on 'Wednesday.
His Lordship proceeded to refer to the documentary evidence
which had been read on the trials—the deed executed by Mr. How-
land in 17 the will of that gentleman; the will of Mr. William
Cotton, father to the lunatic; the will of Mrs. Rebecca Cotton;
the will of Mr. Evelyn Rowland Cotton; the proceedings on the
mumihaiiin of lunacy; and luely, to the eflidavits of Mr. \Van!.
in which he swore to the legitimacy of the lunatic, though he now
sought to overturn the allegation which he haul formerly made.
AS to the fonder documentx, it was not probable that Mr. Rowland
Cotton would have devised his agates to the lunatic, if be believed
11" ilifffilinudo,particulasly when it ought to be remenibteed that
the object of making them deeds and acnkments was to keep the
estates in the blood and name oldie family of Cotton ; though, no
doubt, it might be answered, that the weather' of the family might
hare been deceived into the belief of his lettitimacy by misrepre-
sentations. The privacy of the marriage of 1170 was a strong cir-
cumstance against the prouireption of a former marriage. It they
had been privately married before, there cfuld be tau reason for then.
marrying privately a second time. Al to the law of the case, it
might be said that his Lordship ought to retire Iron it and leave it
to a Court of Law. On the t hid Justice's elpositim of the law
of marriage previously to 17S, he was unwilling to make a long
comment, as he telt that in doing so he might learnt tne feelings of
teary who might have been sitneted in similar eircumstaocka of
marriage. Recollecting the circumstances of all the inquishiona,
Liedship could ram 'avoid saying that he (the Lind Chancellor)
had ',discerned very much in nut having delivered the pormasion
of the estates, on the death of the Lunen..., to those persons. 1/La—
the Beam, when Mr. Ward, hlne had sworn to be entitled to
it. The best SU&I)Ilt I' of section,; the point would he that which his
Lordship lied detennined—uernely, to send the C3NI: 10 a trial id
her. it, which the opinions of an the Juo..ges would be taken, es
well on the law es on the genetal cleeumstaneta of the case. The
trial should be had in the King'. Bench.
The SOLICITORAIESEILAL hoped his Lordship would on this
trial reverse the state of the partici.
The Loan Cl' suce.r.hon said, that it had been tried in the
present form by tWOJIITieI, and lic would send it in the same man-
ner to a third.

IMR GREGORY PAGE TURNER.
Mr. PIIILLIMOILL atoned the Court to confirm the Report of
the blaster.
.1 conversatine ensued, in which Mr. Piousr.irrox and Mr.
TuEsLove partielpsted, in the twurbe of which the latter gentle-
man testi a letter from Stir Gregory, couched in language which
showed that be was of wood mind. . - -

The Loan CHANCELLOM said, if the parties thought fit to go
out with the tri.verse, it must be at their own risk, ter he had not
tic power of reimbursing them, or of advancing any pecuniary
..ssisiana !ir that purpose. llis Lordship had seen Sir Dregory
lintiselt,l and had also read the affidavits of medical men, with
whom lie haul alga conversed, and the result was, that he was
of opinion that the traverse of the inquisition might be effectually
corned on, but he had not the power of ordering that Mr. Davison
should prUeeed. The traverse night go on, as he had before stated,
but the person of Sir Gregory must be taken care of in the mean
time, and fur this purpose he would confirm that part of the oreltr,
but with rtapcet to the other, the petition must be dismissed.
