CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor took original causes to-day,
twelve of which were in his Lordship's paper for hearing.
In several of them decrees were taken according to the
prayer of the bill, the defendants not appearing, and the
plaintiffs' counsel producing affidavits of service. The
others were struck out, in consequence of no counsel
appearing, or the parties not being prepared to proceed
with the hearing. His Lordship having gone through
the paper, rose shortly after eleven o'clock.

DRAFT OF A NOTE TO THE PLENIPOTENTIARY OF HIS IIAJESTY TIIE

KING OF THE BELGIANS.

" The undersigned, &c., having been engaged for several months in
a secret and confidential negotiation on the means of terminating, by a
final arrangement, the differences be*.ween Belgium and Holland, have
maturely weighed the divers representations presented on the part of
Belgium against the rigorous application of the stipulations of the treaty
of 15th November, IS3I, which fixed the conditions of the separation
of Holland and Belgium ; it has been found that part of those pro-
posals are such as would give occasion to changes in the said treaty,
and those stipulations have been modified in all the points respect.
ing such a mode of proceeding as seemed to be justified by reason or
equity.

" The undersigned now present the result of their labours to his M.
jesty the King of the Belgians for his acceptance, and have the honour
to submit to M. Van de Weyer, Plenipotentiary of his said Majesty, the
following drafts of treaties, viz. : One between his Majesty the King of
the Belgians and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, and between
hie Majesty the King of the Belgians and the Five Courts, with an an.
nexed paper requesting him to communicate them to his Government
with the present note.

The undersigned flatter themselves that the Cabinet of Brussels
will recognise the considerations of equity which have suggested these
proposals', and that its Plenipotentiary be authorised without delay
to sign the treaty above mentioned as soon as Holland shall have as-
sented to it on its part.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.
A poor old woman, who was evidently in a very feeble con-
dition, complained to the Lord Mayor of the parochial autho-
rities of St. Luke's, Clerkenwell, and of St. Sepulchre's, who
had heartlessly kept her between them without giving her any
relief, in consequence of a mere point of form.
The Loan MAYort--I am aware that it has been often the
case that poor people have been shuttlecocked from one parish
to another in the hope that they may be got rid of by fatigue
and despair, and I know, too, that parishes have often gone
to expense, to an amount that would set up several of their
poor, in the expectation of shuffling the burden off their own
shoulders. Now, that is a monstrous system of cruelty and
baseness, which, wherever I have jurisdiction, I shall take
care to expose, and to prevent if I can.
The poor woman said that. at her time of life, it was more
than she could bear, for she was 74 years of age. She be-
longed to St. Sepulchre's parish, but she had been for some
time in St. Luke's parish assisting her daughter, who was ill,
and who was unable any longer to support her. The conse-
quence was that she was obliged to go back to St. Sepulchre's
parish, but the relieving overseer there refused to do any-
thing for her unless she would bring with her a pass from St.
Luke's parish, She accordingly hobbled back to St. Luke's,
but the relieving overseer of St. Luke's refused to supply her
tiz ith a pass to her own parish, and in such exti,,mity she could
think of nothing but an application to the Lord Mayor,
were it not for whose exertions many poor creatures would have
perished long ago.
The Loan MAYOR immediately sent his compliments to Mr.
Rowland Wilks, the Vestry Clerk of St. Luke's, and that

i gentleman having promptly attended, his Lordship mentioned
the particulars of the aged applicant's case.
Mr. WILKS regretted that there had been occasion to make
complaint to his Lordship, and stated that he was wholly unac-
quainted with the circumstances of the case.
The poor old creature was at length admitted into her
parish asylum.

MONEY AND CITY NEWS.

(FROM TKII PAPISKII OF Tfl6 DAY.)
TIMES.—The Funds were heavy to-day. Consols 924
to fc fur Money, and 924- buyers for the Account. Bank
Stock, 2024 to 3 ; India tock, 254 to 5; Exchequer Bills,
66 tlo 68 ; India Bonds, 62 to 64 premium.
A considerable fall took place to-day in Spanish securities.
The Actives, with the May coupons, which opened at 20i,
went down to 184-, but at the close slightly recovered to 18i
to Portuguese Five per Cents. were depressed to 341 to
5 ; the Three per Cents. 211 to 2 ;Brazilian, 794 to 1; Mexi-
can, 234 to 44-; Colombian, 281- to 9 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 544 5 ; the Five per Cents. 102 i to 5 ; Belgian,
985 to 9 ; Danish, 76 to 5.
An improvement took place in the leading Railway Shares.
London and Birmingham, 79 to 81 ; Great Western, 13 to
14 ; Manchester and Leeds, 19 to 21 premium ; South-
ampton, 55 to 45 ; Greenwich, 31 to 3 discount ; Manchester
Extension Line, discount to par.

POST.--The Stock Markets were flat to-day. The Eng-
lish Securities are said to have been unfavourably influenced'
by the news from India, which is still far from satisfactory,
as will be seen by the details we give from the Calcutta and
other journals. The trifling decline in them seems, however,
to be attributable rather to the near approach of what will,
it is believed, prove an immeasurably boisterous session of
Parliament.
The transactions of the Foreign Market were characterised
by a retrogradation of a much more sericus description. The
Dutch and other substantial securities maintained their for-
mer quotations with sufficient steadiness. The Colombian
Bonds have also been well supported, and more consideraby
dealt in than usual, which was owing, we believe, to some en-
courazing letters received by the West India packet; but the
Spanish Actives, which left off on Saturday at 20i to were
done in the course of the day as low as 184. The Portuguese
Bonds have receded about 1 per cent. The positive exclu-
sion, of M. Thicrs from the Frnich Cabinet has operated as
I a severe blow to the hopes of the holders of these Peninsular
stocks, especially as there seems no reason to doubt that the
new elections will turn out in the way anticipated by Louis
Philippe and his present advisers.

DREADFUL DEATH AT SEA.

Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, an inquest was held at the Shake-
peare's Head public-house, Shakspeare's-walk, Shadwell, before Mr.
Baker, coroner, on the body of James Petrie, late carpenter of the ship
Katherine, who died from exhaustion at sea on Tuesday last, under the
following afflicting circumstances :
Mr. Wm. Henry Kemp, of the London-road, Southwark, master
mariner, deposed that he was captain of the Katherine, and left the
port of Sunderland with a cargo of coals on Tuesday afternoon last.
The weather was very severe, and when the ship got out to sea it blew
a gale. The cold was intense, and the snow fell heavily. Unfortu.
nately, in getting out of the harbour the vessel shuck on the bar and
sprung a leak, and there was great diffienity in keeping the ship afloat.
All hands were compelled to work at the pumps, and after they had
been engaged for about six bouts the deceased fell down from sheer
exhaustion, and exposure to the wet and frost. Ile ordered him to be
taken below, and half an hour afterwards he found he was dead, Tho
deceased was 45 years of age, and he stood at the pumps, working like a
horse, until he could stand no longer. His strength was completely
exhausted, and he complained of the wet and the cold, When the
poor fellow was done up he looked at witness in the face, took him by
the hand, and fell. lie then had him carried below to the half deck.
A Juror—Did you give him anything, any stimulant ?
Captain Kemp—l really had no time to give him anything, and not
one of us could leave the pumps. The wet clothes were freezing upon
me and my men. The weather was tremendous, and the sea was wash.
ing over the decks. The ship made so much water that not one of us
expected to reach land. I never left the deck from Tuesday until Fri-
day night, and tasted neither bite nor sup until Thursday morning. I
endeavoured to put out one of the boats coming across the Deeps, and it
was lost. The ether boat was stove in,and the vessel afterwards got ashore
on the Ship.wash. We arrived here on Saturday night quite knocked
up. All the crew were frost-bitten, and lam suffering a good deal
myself. There were five feet water in the hold,,and, while at work at
the pumps, our clothes freezing to us. The poor carpenter's j,cket was
frozen to his back.

A Juror—Could you not put back ? Captain Kerr.p—No, Sir ; it
was impos,ible.
The Jury returned a verdict " That James Petrie died of exhaustion
and cold at sea while in the performance of his duty as a seaman on board

the Katherine.''
The deceased has left a widow end five children unprovided for at
Sunderland, and the Coroner and Jury expressed an anxious hope that
something would be done for them.

We agree with the Times that the present session of

with that Journal in ascribing these circumstances wholly to
the conduct of Ministers. They have undoubtedly been

what has been done, and what has been neglected ; but the

MATCHETT V. PARSES.

This was an action for work and labour done, and
goods sold and delivered, which was tried before the
Lord Chief Baron at the late Warwick Assizes, when
a verdict was found for the defendant.
Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a rule nisi to set
aside the verdict, and for a new trial. He said the
action was, to appearance, a very simple one, but from
the course which the cause took at the trial, it was a
very singular one. The defendant, it appeared, was
owner of piece of land which he had let out upon build-
ing leases, and part of it had been so let to a person
named Turner. The action was brought for 451., being
the amount of a quantity of iron palisadinz. For the
plaintiff the delivery of the goods was proved, as
also frequent promises to pay, but unfortunately the
plaintiff had had for several years a man named Broad-
way in his employment, and he was put up to prove
the contract with the defendant. However, on his
cross-examination it turned out that he had been tran-
sported, and had suffered the punishment. Of course such
an admission had a very great effect upon the Jury. The
plaintiff deposed that he was totally unaware of the fact
until the night before the trial, otherwise he could have
proved the same fact by other and unimpeachable tes-
timony. For the defendant Turner was put in the box,
and he unhesitatingly swore that the work was done for
him, and that on several occasions he had called and re-
quested the plaintiff to send in his bill and it would be
settled. This, coupled with what had transpired respect-
ing-, the character of Broadway, had a very prejudicial
effect upon the plaintiff's case. In his cross-examination
Turner swore that he had sold some of the houses, and
was enabled to pay 20s. in the pound, and have a re-
sidue of from 5001. to 6001. His affidavits now showed
that at the very moment Turner owed the plaintiff SOL,
for which he was sued and went to gaol, from which he
was discharged under the Insolvent Act, and that
within a few weeks of the time he gave his evidence.
But the strangest fact of all was, that in the very
next cause which was tried, the very same defence was
set up, and though it was a different defendant, the
solicitor and the counsel were the same. The plaintiff's
counsel then were satisfied with proving promises to pay,
and did not put up Broadway, and the Jury immediately
found for the plaintiff.
_ _

Mr. Baron 'ALDERSON—Then the Jury found both
ways.

Mr. HUMFREY—They were astonished, as well they
might be, to find two gentlemen in different parts of
the country set up the same defence, and employ the
same.legal assistance.—Rule granted.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

SUDBURY, Nov. 9, 1839.
RETURN OF A THOROUGH, TRUE, AND CONSISTENT

REFORM MAYOR FOR THIS BOROUGH.

The unsucessful issue of the return of all four Tory
candidates to the Council, on the Ist inst., reducing
the majority of the Reformers to only two, with the un-
fortunate circumstance of the Mayor composing that
majority, being unable to attend from severe illness,
combined with the wrathful cunning and crafty manasuvres
of the Tories, the Council assembled with agitated
hopes and fears as to the result, neither party being able
to calculate the chances. In the absence of the Mayor,
R. Ransom, Esq., (ill), Mr. Alderman Duff was ap-
pointed to the Chair.
Mr. J. F. S.Gooday proposed, seconded by Mr. Alder-
man Purr, that Mr. William Spooner be elected to fill
the office of Mayor for the year ensuing.
Mr. John James proposed, seconded by Mr. G. W.
Andrews, that Mr. Thomas Jones be elected to fill the
office of Mayor, &c.
On the Town Clerk taking the votes, the result was
as follows :

Do. Wm. Spooner
Whereupon Mr. William Spooner was declared
duly elected, made the usual declarations, received the
maces with the rest of the regalia, took his seat, and
proceeded to the election of the other officers of the
Corporation, without opposition, all of whom were
re-elected, to the no small mortification of the rabid
Tories, who crowded the Court. The bells of St.
Peter's Tower, which the evening previous had been
ringing to celebrate a wedding of one of their best
friends, were left, like greyhounds in their slips, ready,
had fortune proved kind, to convey. to their anxious
adherents the joyful tidings that Toryism had triumphed.
Sudbury has, therefore, nobly done her duty. But,
opposed and annoyed as she is by clerical and aristocra-
tical wealth, and intimidation, unless the Ballot is con-
ceded, scenes of the most revolting and disgusting
practices will be continued, accompanied with arbitrary
coercions and cruel persecutions.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Observing in The Sun of this evening a letter
relative to the " Vivid Hull steamer," signed " Stephen
Lee, Captain of the Vivid," may I beg to ask how it is
that this gentleman has gained the rank of Captain,
which I have always understood could only be conferred
by the Crown. It reminds me of the liberality with
which the late Lord Mayor has given this title to every
gentleman commanding a collier, who had the misfor-
tune to be brought before him for any offence. If the
Lord Mayor had inspected the ship papers of these
gentlemen, or if Mr. Stephen Lee had only referred to
the Custom House documents (official papers) in his
possession, they would have found that men in command
of merchant vessels, of all descriptions, are but Masters.
Perhaps you will have the kindness to favour these
few lines with a space in your valuable paper, and by so
doing oblige an old friend.
I remain, Sir, your very humble servant,

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.

CHARGE OF SEDITION AGAINST TWO CHARTISTS.—
Two respectably dressed young men who gave their
names George Pollard and Henry Pollard, and who it
appears are newsvenders, carrying on business at 17,
Duke-street, Smithfield, were placed at the bar, charged
with the publication of a seditious placard. The pla-
card in question was headed insurrection in Wales,
and, after stating that the Welsh Chartists were in a
state of insurrection, it proceeded to desire the men of
London favourable to the Charter, to meet in Smithfield,
' on Sunday morning next. The languacTe employed was
of the most inflammatory description. It purportedr to
be printed by G. S. Waddington, Ormond

The police constable stated that the prisoners were
given into custody by the last witness on a charge of
sticking up improper bills. One of the prisoners at the
station-house had acknowledged that he had stuck up
the bill, which he stated had been given him by a per-
son with whom he was unacquainted, but who requested
him to stick it up. The father of the prisoner is a

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

HALIFAX, SATuanAy.—Without being able to as-
sign any intelligible cause, our manufacturers experi-
enced a much better demand for some kinds of goods
than could have been anticipated in the present state of
the money market, and in the absence of nearly all
orders for the United States. Prices in consequence
were maintained. Wool, of most kinds, the turn easier
to buy, but nothing bought except for present use. The
spinners complain a little of the low price of yarns as
compared with that of wool, but it is thought without
much reason.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.--There has been an
advance, though small, on some kinds of combing
wools ; but this is entirely owing to the scarcity of sup-
ply in the hands of staplers here ; all other descriptions
must be quoted as last reported. The amount of busi-
ness done has been trifling, notwithstanding the advance
noted.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.---This week has been unprece-
dently dull ; and as there seems no reasonable prospect
of amendment for some time to come, manufacturers
are seriously thinking, or rather will be compelled, fur-
ther to limit the productions of each workman. Whether
this stagnation arises from the news brought by the Li-
verpool, or from apprehensions of measures now in
operation by the Bank, or through both combined, it
is hard to state ; but never was there less doing in the
recollection of any one in the trade. A further limita-

tion as to the productions of each workman seems the
only remedy for such a state of things—a sad prospect
for the poor.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY,—Bad as things have been for
along time past, they were decidedly worse to-day, arising
chiefly out of the late intelligence from the United
States. The effect has been not so much a depression
in prices, which can hardly be s id to have taken place,
but to the exceedingly limited business that has been
transacted. Yarns.—There has been much about the
sameamount of business doing in yarns as there has been
during the last month, and no variation in value can be
noted for any. kind, co arse or fine numbers. Wool,—
Most descriptions of wool arc again a shade lower, with
as little doing as will just enable spinners to lieep their
machinery at work ; the trade must, therefore, be pro-
nounced dull.

FUTURE PROPERTY OF INSOLVENTS.—In
the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday two rules were
obtained to secure a legacy of 501., left to a person who
was discharged under the Act some years ago. One
rule was on the executors of the will to retain the
money, and the other on the insolvent to show cause
why his creditors should not have the money. These
rules are getting common.
WEIGHT OF STEAM.—Steam is 1,800 times
lighter than water—that is, a given portion of water
will, in the form of steam, occupy 1,800 times the space
it did before.
