THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1839.

had avowedly been taken in reprisal, the greatest
part of which proceeds had been paid into the Trea-
sury for the express pu►pose of paying these
claimants.

We regret that Lord JOHN RUSSELL should
have been persuaded by Mr. RICE to evade,
a little longer, the payment of a just debt,
which is the more extraordinary, as the Government
is now granting indemnity to another class of these
claimants for such portion of the cargoes as hap-
pened to be lauded, whilst they are so pertina-
ciously refusing it for the other portion, which
happened to be on board of the ship at the time
when these seizures in reprisal took place.
This is not the first instance in which Mr.

IncE has injured the Government to which he,
unfortunately for the Liberal cause, belongs ; but as
the question of indemnity has now been so decidedly
carried, for the second time, by Mr. CRESSWELL, we
trust that the Government will see the propriety of
proposing a vote for compensating these parties,
and not allow Mr. It IcE any longer to play with
the feelings of British merchants and sh►powners,
nor trifle with the deliberate decisions of the I-louse
of Commons.

We have inserted elsewhere an abstract of a Bill,
now in progress through the House of Commons,
for establishing a Court of Appeal from the Re-
vising Barristers of England and Wales. Some
measure of this kind was much wanted. The deci-
sions of the Revising, Barristers have been so
destitute of anything like uniformity—in many cases,
indeed, so entirely in the teeth of each other—that
every different revising district may almost be said
to have a different election law. Much inconve-
nience as well as great dissatisfaction have resulted
from this uncertainty, and we arc exceedingly glad
to see an attempt made to introduce order and con-
sistency into the administration of a highly im-
portant law. Much, no doubt, must depend upon
the qualifications of the persons who shall be ap-
pointed the Judges of the proposed Court of
Appeal. This appointment rests ultimately, it will
be seen, with the House of Commons, and is
therefore in great danger of being made a party
question, although it is difficult to say why it
should be so, for it is as much the interest of the
one party as of the other that these Judges should
be free from all political bias, as well as men of en-
larged and upright minds.

In another column will be found the proceed-
ings of a Vestry meeting lately held at Bungay, for
the purpose of levying a Church-rate, at which
Archdeacon GLOVER presided. Mr. CHARLES
C ups protested against the rate being laid upon
the Dissenters, and strove to prevail upon the meet-
ing to raise the required amount, which it seems
did not exceed 401. by voluntary subscription. A
much larger sum, he stated, would on a moment's
notice, be raised by the Dissenters, were it wanted
for the purposes of their religious worship, and as
the principle of public subscription had been already
adopted to a partial extent for the support of the
Established worship in the parish, he could not
understand why it should not be carried a little
farther, particularly as it would put an end to the
animosity and unneighbourly feelings which the
Church-rate contest had excited, and which the
levying of this rate would keep up i❑ the parish of
Bungay. Such a Christian mode of raising .the
money wanted would also show the sincerity of those
Churchmen who had expresed a wish to see Church-
rates abolished. It was found easier to pass a vote
for the rate than to answer Mr. CHILD'S argu-
ments; all that was therefore left to him was to
do that which every conscientious man so circum-
stanced is bound to do, namely, to protest against
such unrighteous proceedings, and state his deter-
mination to refuse compliance with the mandate of
an intolerant majority. No member of Mr. JOHN
CHILDS' family will ever pay a farthing to the
Church-rate. They have all " put their hands to
the plough," and they will not draw back.

Lisbon Papers of the 17th inst. have been re-
ceived this morning. On the 11th the Chamber
of Deputies adopted by a majority of 23 votes the
financial Resolution for authorising the Govern-
ment to raise 1,400 contos de reis to meet the cur-

rent expenses of. the Executive. As this resolution
when submitted to the. Chamber was declared by
the Ministry of the Interior to be regarded by him-
self and his colleagues as a test of the confidence
of the Deputies in the Administration, its adoption
has greatly raised the hopes of the Treasury folks.
The question was next referred to the Finance Com-
mittee by whom the following Bill was drawn up,
and after being signed by all the Members, pre-
sented to the Chamber. As it merely gives effect
to the vote of the Deputies there is no fear enter-
tained of its rejection :
Art. 1. Concedes to the Government the necessary
authority to raise a sum in money to the amount of 1,400
contos, to be applied to the legal expenses of the Treasury.
" Art. 2. To obtain the funds treated of in the pre-
ceding article, the Government will realize an advance
upon the Decima of the current economical year (1838-39)
by means of an issue of Treasury notes, with or without
discount, or will issue inscriptions, bearing interest upon
the Junta of Public Credit, in exchange for papers of
credit together with money.
" Art. 3. In case of the issue of notes payable by the
product of the Decima, and admissible for the payments of
the same, the Government will pay the obligations of the
Treasury with them, distributing them among all the em-
ployes and creditors of the State in proportion to their
credits, and in quantity not exceeding one-third part of
what they have to receive.
" The payments for wages, and pay of troops, &c., arc
excepted from the above disposition, and will be paid all
in money.
Art. 4. The interest of the inscriptions that may be
issued will be paid out of the endowment of the Junta of
Public Credit, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
The money to be advanced, together with the papers,
which the Government is to receive in exchange for the
inscriptions, shall not be less than one-third of the no-
minal amount of the same, and the whole of the latter
shall not exceed the nominal amount of the money and
papers received.
Art. 5. Titulos of the legal unfunded debt, both
internal and external, posterior to July 31st, 1833, are
admissible for the present operation.
"The Government, if it thinks it necessary, may also ad-
mit the titulos of legal debt anterior to July 31, 1833,
mentioned in the decrees of 31st °etcher, and 26th No-
vember, 1836, and also the titulos admissible fur the pur-
chase of national property, issued by virtue of the law of
April 15, 1835.
" Art. 6. Whatever means be adopted for carrying into
effect the whole or part of these operations, shall be rea-
lised by public concourse, duly announced and with suffi-
cient time, the Government being obliged to admit to con-
currence every proposal which offers not less than 100
milreis in money.
" Art. 7. The Government to make proper regulations
for carrying the above into effect, and to give an account
of the result to the Cortes, together with copies of all the
proposals that should have been made to it for that purpose.

Art. 8. All laws to the contrary to be revoked."

The Miguelite General IVIAcDoNALD is s

confined a prisoner at Oporto, although no treason-
able papers were found on his person. Reports
of the arrival of General Sir JOHN CAMPBELL
in the Algarves, to organise a Miguclite insurrec-
tion, had likewise reached the Government. Ac-
cording to advices from Italy, the Duke of Mo
DENA has engaged to bestow the hand of his '
daughter upon Don MIGUEL, the moment the
latter has personally unfurled his standard in Por-
tugal, for which purpose the DUKE has placed at
his Pretendership's disposal two well-equipped
frigates, with 4,000 choice troops. So large a
force, we should suppose tantamount to depopulate
the Grand Duchy ; but the blood of the poor is
the cheapest dower of Princesses.

consequence is expected to be alarmingly great.
The accounts from Bayonne are of the 17th
inst. General ESPARTERO was with his army,
encamped at Arciniega, within two leagues and a
half of Balmaseda. The Carlists were busy forti-
fying Durango. The approach of a division of
CABRERA's army to Tarragona obliged General
DIEGO LEON to fall back from Estella.
From Madrid the latest accounts arc of the 14th
inst. On the previous day 600 electors of the
capital adopted a programme, to be proposed as a
political test to all candidates for seats in the
Chamber. Its leading principles are :—The Con-
stitution of 1837—Liberty of the Press, without
Censorship—lndependence of Courts of Justice—.
and Trial by Jury.

Since the above was written the Paris Journals
of Saturday have arrived. The following are ex-
tracts from them:—

We are assured that yesterday and the day before 39
persons were arrested.

Le Droit speaking of the arrest of Martin Bernard,
says, there was a considerable display of force in that
quarter of the city during the whole evening, and in some
wher quarters where the patrols were doubled. The police
had been in very active search after him, and thought itself
certain of the place in which he was concealed, but ti e
question was how to get at him, it being known that he was
guarded by a company of the Saisons, the members of
which kept watch near the house to give the alarm in case
of danger, and to cover his flight the house having nine
different issues. By using great precautions the police
however got into the house, where they found Bernard
asleep; he made no resistance. Besides a blouse and
pocket book with him, they found a complete copy of the
formulary of the Society des Saisons, in the hand-writing
of Bernard, which concludes with the oath taken on the
dagger never to reveal the statutes of the Society, fol-
lowed by these wcrds, " May I perish by the dagger if I
violate my oath." He is a tnan of tall stature, with a look
of much firmness and resolution. A search for Augente
Blanqui was unsuccessful.
The Swabian ill r:ury has a letter from the frontiers of
East Prussia, dated 10th June, which says that, on May
20, "the Polish Major Unbanswitz coming from England,
was arrested at Memel, lie had large sums of money,
arms, instruments to break chains, and to open locks.
He had made a bargain with a notorious smuggler, who
was to take him to Samogitin. He is accused of intend=
ing to kill the Czar, and incite an insurrection in Poland,
and Lithunia. His passport µas signed by M. Van de
Weyer, the Belgian AMbassador in London, to proceed
to Belgium. —Le Commerce.

We have a number of arrivals this morning, particularly
from the United States; two packets from New York have
arrived, and another, the George Washington, of the 7th,
isoff Liverpool. The information brought out by the Great
Western caused a decline in the Stocks;
_United States
Bank Stock, previous to her arrival, was 120, and fell to

118 i.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 93 to 93,1 for the
Account, have been done this morning at 92k, caused by
the continued agitation both among the speculators and
monied interest, fearing the effect which the Bank measure
will have at Liverpool, and in the manufacturing districts.
Sinced the above decline Consols have somewhat im-
proved, and may be quoted at present 92- 4 for the Ac-
count; Exchequer Bills, which have been done at par to
5, have also improved to 7 10 ; in India Bonds nothing
done ; Bank Stock 188 190 ; Stock 253 255.

ing settling of the Account causes the various panics to be

The last week's supply of English Grain was steady. Eng-
lish Wheat had rather exceeded last week's currency; other
qualities sold slowly at their former value. Foreign Wheat
continues to arrive plentifully, and sales have been heavy, the
quality on sale being chiefly middling and ordinary. Barley,
Beans, Pease, and Oats, are unvaried. Little demand for
Flour, and ship parcels declined in value. The reports of the
growing crops coastwise favourable. The Wheat all round the
metropolis is in full ear, and looks remarkably well.
