COURT CIRCULAR.

A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday after-
noon at the Foreign Office. It was attended by Viscount
Melbourne, Viscount Duncannon, Lord John Russell, Viscount
Palmerston, Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Glenelg, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Earl of 'Mint°, Sir John Hobhouse,
Lord Holland and Mr. Poulett Thompson. The Council sat
till half past three o'clock.
The Grecian Minister transacted business yesterday at the
Foreign Office.

Mr. Mayers, agent for Barbadocs, transacted business yes-
terday at the Colonial Office.
The Judicial Committee of his Majesty's Privy Council sat
yesterday. The Lords present were, Lord Brougham, Sir J.
Park, Sir John Nichol!, and the Hon. T. Erskine. The
Hon. W. Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting.
Mr. Burge was heard on a motion, " Patterson and others v.
an award of the Commissioners of the West India Compensa-
tion Fund."

Dr. Adams was then heard in " Thomas Moulden Sher-
wood, Esq., v. Robert Ray, Esq." The case, which was one
respecting the nullity of a marriage, had been in the Consis-
tory Court of London, and afterwards in the Arches' Court
of Canterbury; from the decree of the Judge in the latter
Court, the case was brought on appeal before the Privy
Council. Mr. Austin followed on the same side.

One great improvement in Mr. Colburn's New
Monthly Magazine and Huniourist, introduced since the new
editorship of Mr. Theodore Hook, is the omission of the dry
mercantile and political matter, by which means greater space
is devoted to articles of an exclusively literary character. The
present number for February presents an extraordinary variety
of attractions. It Contains the following contributions by some
of our most celebrated writers;—The Gurney Papers, by the
-Editor—The Blind Man's Bride, by the Hon, Mrs. Norton—
Second Epistle from the Grand Kentucky Ballooners—Shrove
Tide—The Yard- Ann Orel—A Hazy Night—The Theatre

HAMBURG H, JAN. 10, 1i37.,
_Ex.A LL those who may have to write to us are re-
quested to direct
HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH,
which is perfectly sufficient for the address, and letters directed in
that way will reach us just as well as if directed, HEINE
BROTHERS, BANKERS, in HAMBURG. Neither the dello.
mination of BANKERS, or any other, is required, and letters
directed,

will do without any further remark or description. We further request
to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would Ly far increase the same. Thus
101., 20/ , 0r.30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in
ZWO notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forwari the amount in One Note, or one Bank Post
Bill or Cheque ; or having to receive Money from liamturgh, to
receive the same in the same way, whenever possible. As to re-
mittances from Hamburgh to England for large Sums, amounting
to many THOUSANDS, of course they may rather be remitted in
Bills of Exchange. All those giving orders for any Branch of our
multifarious Business, that must be executed before FEBRUARY,
are advised to lose no time in forwarding the same.
HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURG.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 2, 1837.

The House of Lords did not sit yesterday. In the
Commons, several notices of motions were given, and
some petitions were presented. Among the former
were the following :—Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD, a
bill for the better security of copyright (20th of
April), and a bill to regulate the custody of children
of tender years (25th of April) ; Mr. WALTER, to
call the attention of the House to the New Poor Law,
and submit a motion calculated to produce certain
.changes therein (20th inst.) ; the ATTORNEY-GE-
NERAL, a bill for the total abolition of Church-rates
in Edinburgh ; Major FANCOURT, a select Commit-
tee to inquire into, and report on, the question of
military punishments (23d inst.); Mr. O'CONNELL,
a bill to amend the law of libel ; Lord JOHN Rus-
SELL, a bill to suspend for four months the operation
of the Acts regulating the registration of births and
marriages.

On the usual Sessional Orders being read, Mr.
EWART moved an amendment that no order from a
Member should be necessary for admission into the
Strangers' Gallery. Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed
the amendment, and on a division it was lost by a
majority of 161. Mr. WARD'S motion for assimilat.
ing the mode of taking divisions in Committee, to that
at present employed in taking divisions of the House,
was agreed to.

On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a Com-
mittee of Privileges was appointed, to which the let-
ters of the LORD CHANCELLOR: and Mr. LECH-
MERE CHARLTON were referred, to consider the mat-
ters therein stated, and to report their proceedings and
opinions to the House. The Committee sit to-day.
The Report of the Address was agreed to, after a
short debate, possessing no interest. Mr. Hums then
moved for and—after some discussion—obtained, the
re-appointment of the committee appointed last session
to assist the SPEAKER in causing to be printed, ar-
ranged, and distributed, the Votes and other Parlia-
mentary Papers. The House adjourned about seven
o'clock.

In framing the KING'S Speech, Ministers evidently
endeavoured to avoid the introduction of topics likely
to excite discussion, and they succeeded to the fullest
extent. On the report being brought up yesterday, it
was discovered, however, that there bad been some im-
portant omissions. Mr. PLUMPTRE_,complained that
no allusion had been made to the prevailing disease,
and asserted that at no time, even:in,altiapion plutige,cl
in the deepest ignorance, tiad.tui occasion; like the pre-
sent been allowed to pass without some recognition of
GoD's dispensations. Mr. HORACE Twiss improved
on the text, and argued most logically that the name
of the DIVINE BEING might very properly have been
introduced, because the Established Church had been
adverted to in a way which"made it impossible for any
man to know what the intentions of Ministers were.
How such an inference can be drawn from the premises
we leave the Hon. Member to prove. Our only object,
however, in adverting to the circumstance, is to protest
against the practice, so long observed by the Tories, of
introducing the sacred name in every KING'S Speech ;
and not unfrequently, too, when measures were recom-
mended at utter variance with the first principle of
morality, "to do unto others as we wish others to do
unto us." The unhappy people of Ireland can best
tell how that name has been profaned by mixing it up
with plans, the great object of which was to refuse
them their just rights, to deprive them of their liber-
ties, and punish them, because they claimed the privi-
lege of worshipping GOD according to the dictates of
their conscience. The saline system was adopted by
the Spanish Inquisition—it was adopted by CATHA•
RINE of Russia—it is still practised by the Thugs Of
India ; and we therefore attach no blame to Ministers,
because they have not thought proper to follow such
examples.

Sir GEORGE CLERK complained of another omis-
sion—that no mention had been made of the inten-
tions of Ministers with regard to the Church of Scot-
land. Had the Report of the Commissioners been
agreed to, there might have been some ground of com-
plaint ; but for Ministers to recommend any plan on
such a delicate subject, without weighing that Report
with the utmost attention, would have been the height
of indipcpticm4 anti w9tild have stil-ijected they to the
