IN THE MATTER OF HORATIO CLAGETT, ESQ.
In this case an application was made on the part of Mr.
Clagett for a re-hearing, and Mr. Commissioner Law granted
a rule absolute in the first instance. The parties on whom
that rule was served (a Miss Elizabeth Banks and Mr. Reu-
ben Terrewest, an attorney), came to the Court to rescind the
order, on the ground that they should have been allowed to
show cause. The re-hearing was fixed for to-day, and leave
was given to argue the question in limine. Mr. Cooke (with
whom was Mr. Woodroffe) appeared for Mr. Clagett. Mr.
Nichols, on the part of Miss Banks, and Mr. Creswell, for Mr.
Terrewest, applied to discharge the rule..
After the case had been argued at some length, it stood
over for the decision of the four Learned Commissioners.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OC r. 17.—The final ratifications of the
Belgian treaty of commerce, of which M. Vilain XIV., just
returned from Belgium was the bearer, were exchanged at the
Porte on Sunday last, the honour of Knight Grand Cross of
the Order of Leopold being conferred on Reschid Pacha and
Nourri Effendi, and that of Knight Commander on Prince Vo-
gorethe. On the following day some most magnificent pre-
sents from King Leopold were sent to the Sultan, and the
Baron O'Sullivan de Grass had yesterday an interview with
his Highness to take his leave. The Baron will quit Con-
stantinople to-day for Malta, on his return to his former post
at Vienna, and M. Vilain XIV. remains as Charge d'Affaires
till the arrival of the new Ambassador, who is expected in
about ten days, and as soon as the latter is installed in his
post the former gentleman will return to Vienna. The Baron
and the whole of his suite were, I believe, decorated by his
Highness with the Nishan. The report which reached here
laat week, of our fleet having sailed from Malta was incor-
rect. It is still at Vourla, in company with the Turkish
fleet ; and the latter it appears, is now to remain out all
the winter. •
Our Secretary of Embassy, Mr. Bulwer, is really about to
leave us ; but not to make a voyage in Egypt and Syria, as
was at first stated. He is appointed, as you are no doubt
aware, Secretary of Embassy to St. Petersburgh, and will
proceed to his new post in about a month, being, it is said, to
be re-placed here by Mr. Campbell.
The Trebisonde steamer has again arrived without bringing
any private letters from Persia; a :circumstance which has
excited some surprise among the merchants, and we are there-
' fore still without any further details of the arrangement which
has taken place between the Shah and the Heratlees.
Letters were received yesterday from Mr. Bell, in Circassia,
which announce, I believe, his intention to return shortly
from that country, but contain very little information relative
to the present state of things there.—Morning Chronicle.

About ten o'clock d
yester ay morning a as a farrier's
boy, named Goodyear, was taking to a stable in Tottenham-
court-road a horse that had been shod at his master's shop,
the animal took fright at one of the large perambulating ad-
vertisement vans that infest the streets, and threw the lad with
great violence upon the ground. lie was taken to a surgeon's
in the road, when it was found that his right arm was frac-
tured. The horse was soon afterwards stopped.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY THIS DAY T (irr!

We have received Nen 13 uoswick Papers t 7th Oct.,
by which we learn from a lt•ter of the Speaker of the House
of Assembly that a Committee had been appointed to frame
a memorial to be presented to the Imperial Parliament touch-
ing the inadequacy afforded to plantation sugar, by the pre-
sent duty on foreign sugar, and praying protection.
Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house :
" LIVERPOOL, Nov. 7.—The Liverpool in her experimental
trip from Cork of 24 hours answered in all respects most sa-
tisfactorily ; she steamed 185 miles at fine speed, with a strong
wind both before and abaft the beam, consuming of fuel 25
cwt. per hour, with a full command of steam all the time; the
whole consumption during the 24 hours 30 tons 1. cwt. 21b.
She sailed on the morning of the 6th (Tuesday), with 700
tons put on boa d, for New York."
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 7.—We have had rather
a quiet but steady market; the sales are 4,000 bags, viz. Su-

We learn by private letters from Paris that the project for
completing the Paris, Havre, and Dieppe Railway, is in ac-
tive progress. It is expected that the Chambers will modify
the law, for the purpose of facilitating the completion of the
line. When this railway, as well as that to Brighton, is com-
pleted, visitors will be enabled to take an early breakfast in
London, and a late dinner at Paris, on the same day.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.

ANTWERP, Nov. 6.—We find the following article in the
Commerce Beige
We are this moment told that it was publicly affirmed in
the Palais de Justice that the final protocol of the Con-
ference has been received to day ; the twenty-four articles are
maintained with respect to the territory and to the debts for
the future. The arrears due (by Belgium) are remitted.
France, England, and Russia are charged to enforce the strict
execution of these conditions, if it is not effected voluntarily."
Hitherto Ghent has retained a part of its export trade to
the Indias, thanks to the tolerance of the tyrant of the north.
The establishments of which the Dutch Journals announce
the formation in the province of Zealand, will deprive our
manufacturers of this last element of vitality. The patronage
of the Commercial Company will have the same effect on
our cotton manufactories as it has already had in
in depriving us of our navigation. Be assured that in the
future statistical tables of the Independent, whenever a manu-
factory is shut up we shall see the sum total of the manufac-
tures of Ghent increase in the same manner as the
number, of 'our merchantmen has been increased, whenever
one of our ships has emigrated to Holland.—Journaldu Com-
merce d'Anvers, NOV. 7.
BRUSsELS, Nov. s.—The Eclair, a journal of this city, ob-
served with justice some days ago the connection between the
events of the East and our affairs. It concluded with Cue fol-
lowing words, addressed as much to itself as to the other
organs of the Press :
We are convinced that it is necessary to continue to state
uuaeceht i
the incontestible rights of the country, to watch the proceed-
ings of our enemies, to discover their intrigues, to neutralize
their plots, even to repeat the various reports which they
spread, but to rely firmly on the advantages of our poli-
tical position. In a word, we ought to keep on our guard, as
if we were to be alone in the day of danger."

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 7.

BROWN V. GODDAkD.
This was an action tried before Mr. Baron ALDERSON at the
York Assizes, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff, with da-
mages to the amount of 3161. 14s. 7d.
Mr. COWLING now moved for a rule to show cause why that
verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, or why
the damages should not be reduced to fifty pounds. The par-
ties were partners as proprietors of the Hull Packet, and had
engaged a gentleman named Quin as editor, at a salary of
3001. a-year, under an agreement that at the end of a year
they should either take him into partnership or pay him the
sum of 5001. At the end of the year they refused to take
him into partnership, and he was obliged to bring his action
against them, in which he recovered 3001. for his salary, and
5001. upon his agreement. The parties, separated in the be-
ginning of the following year, and a Mr. Wilson was ap-
pointed to wind up the affairs of the concern, both of the
defendants covenanting to contribute if he had not funds to
liquidate all demands. The plaintiff paid his contribution ;
but the defendant refused to do so, and the present action
was brought to compel him. He had paid 160/. into Court,
as his share of the 3001., and had pleaded that he was always
willing to take Mr."Quin into partnership; but that the plain-
tiff refused to do so, and, therefore, the rest of the money and
costs had arisen from the plaintiff's own default. This had
been admitted on the trial, and the principal question was
whether the defendant was liable to pay any part of the 5001.,
and if so, as he allowed judgment to go by default, whether
he was liable to any of the costs. The point went to reduce
the verdict to 2501.
The Court granted the rule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN. S Q UA RE.
James Bateman, a man who has been before convicted of
felony, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with stealing
a large quantity of wearing apparel, the property of George
Trundle, Esq., a gentleman holding a situation in the Irish
Office.
Prisoner when placed in the dock was confined in a strait-
waistcoat, and the front of his clothing was covered with
blood. .

Mr. Trundle stated that about five weeks ago he left home
for the country, his apartments being in charge of two female
servants. On his return last Monday he was much surprised
at finding nearly all his wearing apparel had been abstracted
from his clothes-press. He immediately gave information to
Smith, an officer of this establishment, who, on questioning
the servants, ascertained that the prisoner had been in the
habit of visiting them and sleeping there every night during
the prosecutor's absence. Prisoner, on being apprehended,
was found dressed in a suit of Mr. Trundle's clothes.

Algernoon Smith stated that he took the prisoner into cus-
tody at the back gate of the Irish Office, Great Queen-street,
Westminster, and took him down into the kitchen. He had
hardly been there a minute, when prisoner seized a carving-
knife and inflicted a severe wound in his throat with it, observ-
ing, ‘. He had done them now." Surgical aid was imme-
diately procured, and the wound was dressed, but prisoner on
his way to the station-house became very violent, and tore the
wound open afresh. A strait-waistcoat was then put on him,
and a strict watch was kept during the night.
Prisoner, when called upon, had the effrontery to declare
the things were his own.
On the whole of the property found on him being identified,
prisoner was fully committed for trial.

LITERATURE.

CROTCHE'TS IN THE AIR.
C Murn, Lprvion, 1838.
Phis lively littl j4,ztr d'esprit is from the pen of the_
author of " Paul Pry." It professes to be an account of
a late excursion which he made in Mr. Green's balloon,
and of the objects he beheld when posting through the
air, at the rate of half a mile in five minutes, without the
trouble of paying turnpikes or changing horses. The
work, which is written in the form of a letter to a friend,
is full of easy playfulness ; but we regret that the author,
when he had so fine an opportunity, did not pay a visit to
the Flying Island of Laputa, or leave his card at the
town-house of the Man in the Moon. Instead
of paying this dutiful mark of respect to the king of the,
Lunatics ; or acquainting himself with the geography 01
Swift's celebrated island, and bringing back with him 5
specimen " flapper," such as Gulliver saw used with such
effects ; Mr. Poole merely sailed over the head of London
for about an hour or so ; peeped down into as many chimney
pots as he conveniently could ; and then dropped quietlY
down upon terra firma. Considering that he met with no re-
markable adventures, and that not a single individual of the
party broke his, or her, neck—considering, in short, that gr.
Poole had nothing to say about his aeronautical trip, he
has said it remarkably well. Indeed a more sprighthY
essay upon " Nothing" we have not read for many a day'
It is as good of its sort as Lord Rochester's poem upon
that subject, which has always been considered his best.

keeping down tumults, or in carrying into effect public
executions at the bidding of the populace. Dreadful
even as the present condition of the people is, the future
promises worse, and holds out only the prospect, unless
foreigners interfere, of a violent and bloody ordeal
before the establishment of security and peace. Sara-
gossa and Madrid, and, we believe, many other towns,
are ready to follow the example of Valencia ; and it is
not at all improbable that the populace may rise against
the troops that menace them, or that many_ of the
troops may join with the people in taking summary
vengeance on their supposed and real enemies. It
may be doubtful even if foreigners could by any inter-
ference now produce such a change in the Government
and Constitution of the country as would eradicate the
causes of the many calamities that afflict Spain. They
might by large armies repress the turbulent, and drive
Don CARLOS out of the country, but such a result
would be only a temporary relief. The contest is not
between Don CARLOS and the QUEEN, but between
two great parties that have to settle long-standing
quarrels. which would break out with fresh vigour the
moment these troops were withdrawn. The history of
the world hardly furnishes any instance of the regene-
ration of a State unless effected by the people them-
selves. The parties of CHARLES I. and the Parlia-
ment fought out their own battles, and to that circum-
stance, in.a great measure, we owe our present Consti-
tution. The French, when threatened by foreign
invasion at the Revolution, expelled in a few months,
or dissipated by a general massacre, all those who
would join with foreigners, and thus settled their
domestic quarrels. Foreign armies placed the exiled
family again on the throne only to be again expelled
'by the almost unanimous voice of the nation. Spain,
we fear, cannot expect at a cheaper rate, or by other
means, a Constitution which may secure liberty or
peace in the country, for it seems fixed by destiny that
neither individuals nor States can obtain any thing
really great or good without their own cxertions.

in India.
They beg to caution the public against an imitation of this popu-

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT- Nov. 7.

BELL V. PLUCK.
Mr. KNIOHT BRUCE moved on the part of the plaintiff, for
an injunction to restrain the defendant Bluck from negotiating
six promissory notes for 6751. in the whole, which he had
received from the plaintiff in March, 1837, as part of the price
for a share in a partnership which was then entered into be-
tween them and one Graves, as printsellers, on the premises
lately occupied by Colnaghi, in Cockspur-street. The mo-
tion also sought a receiver, as preliminary to a dissolution of
the partnership.
Mr. JACOB opposed the motion.
His HONOUR refused the motion•with costs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7.

DAVIES V. LOWNES.
Mr. GRAY moved in this case, which was a writ of right,
for a commission to examine an old lady about eighty years of
age, who resided nearly 200 miles from London. The Learned
Gentleman moved on affidavits stating these facts; but he had
no affidavit from the surgeon in attendance upon the lady.
He, however, submitted to the Court that his affidavits
clearly showed that this lady was not in a state of health in
which she could safely travel so great a distance. The Court
were of opinion that the surgeon ought to make an affidavit of
the state of the lady's health, and until he did so they could
not issue a commission.

What proves that Sir James Graham is preparing for his
old berth at the Admiralty ? D'ye give it up ?—Because he

Vy is O'Connell like an old-fashioned Vig ? D'ye give it

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY

Thomas hose, whose case was before the Court on a former day, again
came up.

The insolvent was a boot and shoemaker at Windsor. On Good Fri-
day (an unlucky day to him) his shop was broken into and about 101. of
boots and shoes carried off. The thieves got clear off with the booty.
The robbery had occasioned his insolvency ; but, strange to state, there
was no mention in the proceedings of the circumstance. The insolvent
was required to detail the facts in his schedule ; he had filed an amend-
ment, on which he came up for adjudication. On the former hearing he
was opposed and questioned minutely into the alleged robbery.
Mr. COMMISSIONER HARRIS to-day further questioned him on the
subject, and ultimately ordered his discharge.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

(Concluded from our First Edition of yesterday.)
PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO ANDREW
STEVENSON, ESQ., TILE AMERICAN MINISTER IN LONDON.
At a former Cuurt the freedom of the City, to be presented
in a geld box, of the value of 100 guineas, was unanimously
agreed to be presented to the American ;Minister ; and a De-
putation, consisting of Sir J. Duke, Mr. Alderman Harmer,
and several members of the Court were appinted a deputation
to wait upon him for that purpose.
The answer of the Minister to the deputation was now
read. It was couched in very grateful terms for the honour
proposed to be conferred on him, but regretted that he was
cor,..y,lled to decline that honour, as the laws of his country
forbade Isis receiving any valuable presents.
Mr. Under. Sheriff WIRE, said that as the American
Minister could not accept the freedom of the city in the man-
ner offered, he should propose that th• resolution of that
Court be engrossed on vellum, and framed and glazed, and pre-
sented to him in the usual manner.
A very long and animated discussion ensued, which it is
imrssible we can find room to give at length.
The motion was opposed by Mr. Heppe', Sir P. Laurie,
Deputy Corney, &c.
At length, at the suggestion of Mr. Alderman Harmer, Mr.
Wire withdrew the original resolution, and proposed in its
stead, that " the resolution of the Court, with respect to the
freedom of the City being presented to the American Minister,
and the answer of the Minister to the Deputation appointed
to wait upon him, ho advertised in the usual daily journals."
Th.° question, on being put, was earried unanimously.

FINE ARTS.

We have just seen an engraving, published by Grant,
entitled St. George, Granada, which forms a spitited coast
scene, not much unlike the bolder scenery of our Devon-
shire coast. The view of the town in the foreground is
skillfully managed; and not less so the steep, precipitous
mountain back-ground, which is picturesque enough to
satisfy even a Doctor Syntax.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTER S S—YEsrERDAr.
Tl, room was well attended this afternoon, but business was not
so brisk as might have been expected, nor productive of any mate-
rial change in the state of affairs as given on Monday ; most pro-
bably in consequence of the weather, which has been wholly unfit
for any preparations for the approaching campaign. Indeed the
horses have scarcely yet come out from their winter-quarters. The
Brother to Alepl o has changed hands—at a good price ; and a
" party" have been keeping money upon the Grey (Momus) to
such a degree as to show pretty fairly which will be the elect, in
ease of the two (Grey Momus and D'Egville) coming in equal con-
dition to the post.
