CORN• LAWS.

Lord RADNOR said he had received a letter from a
Noble Friend of his a few days since relative to the motion
of which he had given notice on the subject of the Corn-
laws, desiring him to fix Tuesday in the Passion Week for
the discussion of the subject, but understanding that that
day would be inconvenient, his Noble Friend bad written
to him this day to state that he would bring forward the
question on the 14th ; they originally fixed the 21st or
the 26th, as the 21st was pre-occupied, and the 26th would
be inconvenient, it had better stand at present for the
14th, and in case anything should occur to make it incon-
venient on that day, it could be postponed for aday or tno.
With respect to the terms of the motion, he thought he
should be in possession of them on Monday.
Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions against the
Beer Bill from Slough, and from some other places. Also
a petition from the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council
of the city of Edinburgh, praying for a Repeal of the Corn-
laws. He believed this petition
,represented very strongly
the feelings of the whole city on the subject. Also a
petition from Welchpool, praying for a repeal of the Corn-
laws; also from Hamilton,
praying for a repeal of the
Corn-laws ; also a petition from some place in Scotland,
against any additional Church Extension.
BANKRUPTCY COURT. .
Lord B ROUGH A M moved for a return from the Court of
Bankruptcy of an account of all sums received on account
of Commissions of Bankruptcy which had been issued pre-
viously to the Ist January,lB3B, distinguishing the diff-rent
Commissions; the Commissioners had not only works d the
Commissions which had been issued since their appointment,
but had applied themselves to the collection of assets under
old Commissions, some of which had been issued 30 years
back, and had paid a dividend of ss. or 6s. in the pound. The
assets of those had now been collected by the Commission-
ers, and by that useful officer the official assignee, and 14s.
and 155., and in some instances 20s. in the pound had been
paid. They bad taken large sums belonging to creditors
out of the hands of respectable members of the law and of
equally respectable and worthy bankers, where he sup-
posed it must have been I)ing idle, from the proverbial
carelessness of creditors and the equally proverbial care-
lessness of assigoees. He wished for an account of
those sums, and did not think that it would be less than
seven figures.
The LORD CHANCELLOR bore testimony to the
efficiency of the measure of the Noble and Learned Lord,
and should be always glad to co-operate with him in carry-
ing it into effect.
Lord BROUGHAM would be happy to co-operate with
the Noble and Learned Lord at six o'clock to-morrow
morning if he liked.—( Laughter.)
Lord H ADDINGTON presented a petition from
Annan ( Scotland), praying for Church Extension.

been a source of great inconvenience to the inhabitants of
this town and neighbourhood. In many of the outskirts of
the town the wind drifted the snow so that it was upwards
of three feet in depth, and the coaches were detained a
considerable time. Thn driver of the mail-cart from this
town to Newmarket was unable to proceed in his vehicle
any farther than Quay church, from which spot he con.
veyed the bags to Newmarket on horseback.—. Cambridge

of life suffering under mental disturbance or nervous complaints,
but who are still capable of appreciating the blessings of social in-
tercourse.

lady as one united family. The visits of the usual Medical At-
tendants and Friends are admitted at all times without previous
notice. • The attendants are educated persons ; and recreation and
amusement provided on the most liberal scale.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

These sessions commenced yesterday before Mr. Sergeant
Anags and a full bench of Magistrates.
The calendar is a very light one, there being only eight pri.
goners charged with fenny'? the others having been committed
for assaults, &c.
The grand jury having been sworn, the Cfmngs.ri briefly
explained to them the nature of the duties they were called
upon to discharge.
The grand jury having ignored the bill against Mary Ann
Smith,
The CHAIRMAN, on referring to the depositions, said the
case against the prisoner was quite clear. He really was sur-
prised that the grand jury bad thrown out the bill, but it we
not to be wondered at after the extraordinary proceedings the
Court had lately witnessed on the part of grand juries. Last
sessions instraxians weld given to prepare a bill against A. 8.,
C.D., and several strar.gars fpr riot the cirk, who pre-
pared the indictment, wrote, instead of scypril otFangers,§a-
reuel Strangers, and the grand jury absolutely found a true
bill Agaiysp awned Strangers, although not one of the wit-
nesses exatnk.lB4 Pf.4M l.hcel had ever mentioned such a name.

LAMBETH POLITICAL UNION.

A respectably attended meeting of the Liberal inhabitants of
the borough of Lambeth was held at the Elephant and Castle
Tavern, Newington, last evening, for the purpose of consider-
ing the propriety of forming a political union, to take the best
means of obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws and Universat.
Suffrage. At eight o'clock,

Mr. WEBBER was called to the Chair, and 'proceeded to ad-
dress the meeting. He said he was most anxious that a
society of sincere Reformers should be formed in the Borough
of Lambeth. An effort had been made some tirne since to
carry out the object for which the present meeting had been
convened ; but it had not succeeded, owing, he believed, to the
persons who were engaged in it not having the confidence of
the majority of the electors of the borough ; but he hoped that
the success of the present endeavour would be certain, and
that the meeting would appoint a Committee to draw up and
frame rules and regulations upon which such a society should
be based.—( Hear.)
Mr. WELFORD said, it was notorious that this bcr.ough
contained a larger proportion of decided Liberals in the ranks
of its Reformers that any other of the electoral districts of the
metropolis, and those Reformers were last year the first to
meet and to deprecate the unhappy Tory policy announced by
Lord John Russell as that of himself and his colleagues,
Seldom had such formidable difficulties been opposed to t,lre
amendment of their institutions. All hope of further refor m
depended upon popular exertion; and that exertion,"co be
effective, must be prompt, sustained, and contin'Jous, as
every method was used which falsehood or malignit-j,
could in-
vent to cast discredit upon the legal agitatie„ and peaceful
organization of the people. He then pror
several persons to act as a committee f, used the names of
traming the consti-
tution of the society, and he begged. also to advise that the re-
peal of the Corn-laws and the at'..a.inment of Universal Suffrage
should be the chief objects of the association ' • and that every
member should be bo':.nd to advocate those claims.—( Hear. )
He felt satisfied that the majority of the people of Lambeth.
would cheerfully participate in carrying out the broad prin-
ciples of Reform. —( Hear, hear.)
Mr. Boor-II:TT seconded the resolution, which was put and
carried unaninsously. Several other persons then addressed,
the meeting, after which, thanks having been voted to thq
chairman, the meeting adjourned.

is embodied in the foregoing remarks, I forbear. At the - •
of the sermon, as it must, I suppose, be called, another 4Tvf-1:s; wast
Wesley's hymns was sung in most admirable style ; hut in this
there is nothing to excite surprise, seeing that this part of the
country is most celebrated for vocal bamony. The hymn
thus :

I,

A charge to keep I have,
A god to glorify ;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky ;
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil ;-
0 may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will 1
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live ;
And Oh I thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give ;
Help me to watch and pray,
Arid on thyself rely ;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
After an emphatic but short prayer. the Congregation
quietly dispersed.

ARREST OF MR. STEPHENS.-NA.

TIONAL CONVENTION.

Last night a public meeting of the working classes was
held, pursuant to requisition, which had been extensively
placarded throughout the metropolis, at the Assembly
Rooms, Theobald's-road, for the purpose of promoting the
formation of District Committees throughout London, in
support of the so-called National Convention. It seems to
be determined on to institute as active an organization as
possible for the few weeks that intervene before the meeting
of Parliament, in pursuance of the above object, and there-
fore to establish in all directions Local Committees for agita..
tion and the collection of " the National Rent." The room
last night was not much crowded; though, if there was any
deficiency of numbers, there certainly was no deficiency of
zeal. None of the lions were in attendance ; a circumstance
which some of the speakers attributed to the necessity of their
presence at Manchester to advise and assist their friend, Mr.
Stephens. Mr. Ireland was called to the Chair, and ad-
dressed the mPeting. The speakers that followed were, Mr.
McConnell, who very effectively addressed the audience, and
described the evils of the country mainly to the withering in-
fluence of the National Debt ; Mr. Richard Maw, who
announced that there were no less than two-and-a-half million
of signatures affixed to the National Petition ; Mr. John Ro-
gers, who very urgently entreated all persons to subscribe to
the National Rent, and to induce their neighbours to do so,
and proposed a resolution to that effect ; and Mr. Whittle,
who was announced as a delegate for Liverpool, and who elo-
quently addressed the meeting on the misgovernment of the
country, and persecution of Mr. Stephens. The ordinary
routine of resolutions were proposed and carried. Thera
was also one expressive of sympathy with, and determination
to support as far as they could legally do so, Mr. Stephens.
The speakers were all cheered very enthusiastically, and the
usual subscription at the door seemed to have been with rathe
more than usual alacrity contributed to.—Morning Advertiser

TO OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, •
TN answer to inquiries from various parts of the
X country, as to the propriety of dealers who have adopted the
sale of our LIQUEUR GINGER BRANDY, retailing it at the
rate of 20s. per gallon, we are of opinion that, considering the cost
of carriage, and other expenses to which country dealers are sub-
ject, such charge is not unreasonable, especially in case of credit :
and it is most gratifying to us to ascertain that many individuals,
including several of the Faculty, who have experienced the carmi.
native and anti-spasmodic effects of the GINGER BRANDY,
pronounce it a cordial of inestimable value, and deserving the
highest recommendation.
We continue to supply the Ginger Brandy to families, for cash
in London, on the same terms as our IMPROVED BRITISH
COGNAC, namely, 18s. by the imperial gallon, (for a single
gallon or upwards), and in sealed pint and quart bottles, 2s. and
3s. 6d. each, bottle inclusive.

SOUTHAMPTON GIPSY FESTIVAL.

( Abridged from the Hampshire Advertiser.)
We have always had great pleasure in recording the An-
nual Gipsy Festivals held at the house and grounds of the
Rev. Mr. Crabb, at Hill. This excellent minister has for
many years been engaged in his truly Christian task of re-
claiming the wanderers to habits of civilized life, and of turn-
ing their hearts to God.
At our visit on Thursday morning to Spring Hill House, we
found the play-ground occupied by the gipsy tribe, who were
assembled to participate in the enjoyments of the day; the
children amusing themselves with the gymnastic apparatus in
the play-ground, and the men and women standing in groups
in various parts of the grounds. Besides those who have been
reformed there were a great number present, who came from
a considerable distance to join their kindred and friends on the
occasion. The appearance of the domesticated gipsies pre-
sented a striking contrast to that of the wanderers, although,
but with two or three exceptions, the latter were decently at-
tired, and clean in their persons ; here and there a bit of gaudy
finery was to be seen, but generally speaking they could not
be recognised as belonging to that long neglected race but by
their sparkling eyes and peculiar countenances. The total
number of gipsies present was 99. Shortly after eleven o'clock
the gipsies were summoned from the play-ground into the
school-room, and the Rev. J. Crabb having taken his place at
a desk in the centre of the room, the services of the day com-
menced by singing Bishop Kenn's Morning Hymn, which was
followed by prayer.
The " Gipsies' Friend" then addressed the assemblage ; he
said that the number of gipsies in this country was computed
at 18,000. But it was a remarkable fact, that there was no perfect
account of their origin in all the world, or if there was it had not
yetbecn found. The language spoken by the gipsies is very simi-
lar to that spoken in the East Indies. It was very probable
that they were descended from the Hindoos. The gipsies
were afterwards dismised to the play-ground, and Mr. Crabb
read to the visitors who remained in the room the report.
One general feature of the gipsy character struck all pre-
sent; namely, their ease and freedom of manner and apparent
independence. All the families present bad by them copies
of the Holy Scriptures, excepting one, who had not visited there
before. One woman said that her bible was unclany by the
wet getting into the tent, for which she was very sorry.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE

PRIVY COUNCIL, DEC. 7.

(Before Lord BROUGHAM, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET,
Mr. Justice ERSKINE, Sir H. JENNER, and Dr.
LUSHINGTON.)

MR. DAT'S WILL.-DUFAUR V. CROFT AND OTHERS.

Mr. GIILDLESTONE applied to their Lordships, on
the part of Mr. Croft and the two other executors
named in the will and four first codicils of the late Mr.
Day, the blacking manufacturer, to fix an early day for
hearing the appeal in this case.

Lord BROUGHAM asked on what ground ?
Mr. GIRDLESTONE—On the ground that until the
appeal is decided, nothing can be done under the will,
and a great many persons entitled to bequests and an-
nuities under it are consequently placed in a state of the
greatest distress. The property is immensely large.
Lord BROUGHAM—What is the question ? Is it the
validity of the will?
London, England, 1839-12-10

the Honourable and Learned Judge of that Court
was pronounced the death '_warrant to the lis pendens
in that Court issued. In this state of things there
was no one to receive the dividends of the stock, or to
receive the rents, or manage the property ; and under
those circumstances he trusted the Court would think
this was a case in which pro:tection to the property was
absolutely necessary.
Messrs. Turner and Belhall followed on the same
side.

THE FUNDS.

The only arrival this morning of importance is the
overland express from India, which upon the whole is
of a favourable nature, although several conspiracies
against the British on the part of the Native Chiefs
have been discovered, and measures taken to secure
their future conduct. It is rather surprising that the
express does not bring a.:y intelligence from China,
which was generally expected, and waited for with much
anxiety.

CONVICTION OF GAMBLERS.

The seven individuals apprehended in Jermyn-street
(not in St. James's-street, as stated in The Sun of yes-
terday), were brought before Mr. Long, at Nlarlborough-
sAreet Police Court in the afternoon for examination.

Mr. Bodkin was engaged for the prosecution, at the in-
stance of the authorities of St. James's, and Mr. Adolphus
appeared for two of the defendants, Jackson and Wilmot.
Superintendent Baker stated, that in consequence
of a warrant he received from the Commissioners of
Pol ice, he went on Saturday night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, accompanied by several officers, to the
house No. 60, Jermyn-street. The front door was
opened to him by the boy Wilmot, who was in-
stantly taken into custody. On reaching the second
door he found it bolted, and, on peeping through the win-
dow, saw Jackson on the inside, who put on another bolt.
He also gave an alarm to the persons up stairs. The door
was immediately burst open, and he and his party pro-
ceeded uplstairs. On entering a room on the first floor they
discovered a large quantity of counters, cards, dice, money
rakes, and a table cover marked for playing. ( A large
quantity of the abovementioned articles was here produced. )
There were eight rakes seized ; had seen such used at play.
There were also 96 dice. Saw six more taken down
stairs. The counters were marked " Cottage Club," and
purported to be of the respective value of from 2s. 6d. to
10/. Was not aware whether the persons captured were
members of the; club, neither did he know whether persons
were introduced there, the same as in the regular club-
houses. One of the defendants he had seen at a common
gaming-house in Pickering-place.
Inspector Jarvis said, on going up stairs he saw the
glass falling from the skylight as thick as hail. The sky-
light was at the top of the house, immediately over the
staircase; there was also a quantity of dirt and rubbish
falling from a trap-door in the back attic, leading to the
roof of the house. He also observed a quantity of blood
dropping from the skylight, evidently caused by some
person being severely cut in making his escape.
Mr. ADOLPIIUI addressed the Magistrate at some length
in behalf of his clients, when

Mr. Lox() inflicted a penalty of 501. on Jackson, and
203. on Wilmot.

The other five defendants, who were most respectably
attired, declined making any defence ; but being only found
in the house for the purpose of gaming, the penalty pre-
scribed by the Act is only 51., which sum they were seve-
rally ordered to nay.
The whole of the fines were immediately paid, and the
parties left the Court.

EVENING EDITION.

duct of the plaintiff, who makes the application. Now
if it be for the interest of all parties that there should
be a receiver, it is hard on them that their right should
depend on any additional questions such as those are.
However, I shall look at the affidavits to see what is
the bearing of those questions. I do not think I am
ex,mpt from giving my opinion on the point when
asked, but I am not satisfied that the best course
would not be for me to wait till the opinion of the other
branch of the Court has been given on the abstact ques-
tion of the right of the parties to a receiver in this case,
and which does not involve any prsonal controversy.
When that motion comes to be made before the Vice-
Chancellor, I should not wish it to n, supposed anything
has passed here which renders it inexpedient to make
that motion there.

advanced age, on fair and reasonable terms.
Not being restricted in regard to the investment of its Ca-
pital. like the Government Office, which can only grant An-
nuities in exchange for transfers of Stock, and not being en-
cumbered with the heavy responsibilities of Life Offices, on
account of the immense sums assured by them, the " CITY

a much more equitable Scale of Rates than can be offered by
either of these Establishments. This may be at once seen by
reference to the printed Tables, which, with every requisite
information, may be obtained by application at the Office.

BOW.STREET.-(THIS DAY.'

TUE QUEEN'S Surroe.--john Stockleige, a native of
Liverpool, apparently of unsound mind, who was found on
the 28th ult, wandering about within the precincts of
Windsor Castle, using language whereby a breach of the
peace was apprehended to be about to be committed, was
brought before Mr. HALL for re-examination.
Mr. Sweetlove, a surgeon, of Manchester, and Mr.
L,vies, the surgeon of Westminster Bridewell, were in
attendance, and after privately examining the defendant,
by putting a variety of questions to him, it appeared from
hic answers and the general tenour of his con‘Juct, that
he had been labouring under certain celusions for a con-
siderable time past.

Mr. HALL, after holding a long consultation kith the
medics! gentlemen as to the best means of preventing the
unfortunate man from wandering abroad unprotected in
future, directed that he should be agaia conveyed in a cab
to a place of safety, and to be brought up on a future day.
Among other delusions, the defendant considers himself
to be the Almighty.
London, England, 1839-10-22

for they were the triumphs of humanity ; and
grieved at his defeats, for, as in the instance of
National Education, they checked the progress of

intellect.

We subjoin some extracts from the public jour-
nals of this day, by which it will be seen how pro-
found was the sensation that the rumour of his
Lordship's death occasioned among men of all
parties. Whig—Tory—Radical—all seem to have
been equally grieved by it. From a letter that has
been received in his Lordship's hand-writing, we
understand that the carriage was broken to atoms,
and that the coachman was most seriously injured ;
but he himself escaped altogether, and was able to
walk thirteen miles after the accident in three hours.
An e:epress was sent off this morning to Lady
BROUGHAM, at Brighton, with the happy ne%t's
of his Lordship's safety.

(Flom the Times.)

A renort was very prevalent last night that Lord
Brougham had been accidentally killed in West-
moreland by the overturning of his carriage. We
are most happy to be able to contradict this dis-
tressing rumour. Upwards of 150 applications
were made last night at his Lordship's house in
Grafton-street, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the report- was true, and the answer re-
turned was that there was no foundation for it.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
