COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tnis DAY.)
Tilt OPERA HOUSE.-The LORD (2114.NC/1.1,0y.
this morning alluding to this case said, he had.
made inquiry and was fully satisfied, that such
was the perfect state of repair in which the house
had been put, that there was not the slightest
danger of the numerous fashionable who visited
the Theatre being thrown altogether into the Pit:
—There was a case of lunacy which pressed
very much, and took precedence•of the Opera:
House, which might as well stand over for the
season. This is of course a virtual refusal to in-
terfere at present with the management.

During the celebration in honour of the anni-
versary of his Majesty's birth-day, at Plymouth, Lord G
and General MINA were observed together in the balcony of cho
Governor's house.

IIuNT THE CoNucT.—lt has been reported
in several of the Papers that Hunt, whose sen-
tence of death was commuted to transportation
for life, had died, or had been shot in a mutiny
that occurred on board the Countess of Harcourt
Convict ship, on her passage out to New South
Wales.—it happens, unfortunately for the fore-
going statement, that the Countess of Harcourt
has returned to England, having disembarked her
living cargo (Hunt among the rest), at their or; •
dered destination, and that the Captain of the
said convict ship states, that the whole of the
report is utterly destitute of truth.

aBOCICING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon,
'about six o'clock, a most dreadful catastrophe happened at the
New Independent Chapel, erecting at Back-Green, in Hutideri-.
field. The carpenters and masons were busily employed at the
height of 51 feet, in fixing the roof ; and when in the act of
drawing up a large beam of timber, a plank, of unusual length,
on which a number of the men were standing, without any sup-
port in the centre, broke in two, and one of the bearers giving
way, the scaffold came down with a tremendous crash, and up- •
wards of 16 men were precipitated into the body of the chapel._
Two of them died soon after they were taken 'away. froni
the place ; another died about twelve o'clock the same night
many are hurt in different degrees, and several escaped
by clinging to the walls. We have endeavoirred to ;-
collect as correct a list of the sufferers as possible :
George Wrigley, mason, slightly ; Richard IVorth, ditto, se;
verely ; George Beaumont, labourer, dead, wife 'arid family ;
Michael Stocks,_ carpenter, slightly; Christ. Balite, labourer,
dangerously ; Abraham Brewer, carpenter, dead, wife and
four children ; John Boothroyd, mason, severely ; Lake Hill;'
ditto, dead, wife and family ; James Day, ditto, slightly;
Mr. Thos. Walker, raft' merchant and carpenter, slightly ;
Benj. Hill, labourer, dangerously ; Jo;,hua Brook, carpenter,
ditto; Joseph Stocks, mason, slightly; George Rigg, ditto,
apprentice, ditto.—There are three or four more whose narnts
we could not ascertain.—( Leeds Intelligent:et-, April 28.)
DARING ItonnEnr.--A Gentleman named

Carr, who had been to Lombard-street to receive some cash,
we , this morning hustled by two or three fellows in the City
a:id robbed of his pocket-book, but fortunately discovered hi;
loss at the moment, and pursued the thief down a bye street.
from Thames-street, who threw the book away and escaped.

'of Peers in favour of the French 'Ministry was
not, it appears,. obtained until all the arts of in-:
ilueace had-been put. into operation. .Almost to
the last moment, there were 15 or 16 votes in
the. Chamber on whose support the ;Minister
could not reckon -with perfect confidence ; and
it was thought
,prudent, in'order to secure them,
tht several interviews. should ,take place be-

of his Royal condescension, and even regaled his
imagination with the distant prospect. of a- Car-
dinal's hat. The ArchbiShop was overcome, and
the votes, amounting to five or,six, under. his irn-
-mediate influence, were secured. This stroke of
policy was. followed up by the grant to.the other
deubtful votes of shares in the-new salt mines;
and the victory- of the .Minister was rendered
:complete.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday bring the con-
tinuation of the adjourned debate on the law re-
:specting the public accounts -of M.),3. M. de
iontmarie.endeavoured to excuse the contracts
c M
;made with
,Ouvrard, by showing that the success
of the invasion depended
,upon the advance of the
army,.and at the opening of the campaign there
was a deficiency of horses for the transport ser-
vice. •Under these circumstances, the zeal of the
,Duke de..Bellune, then Minister of War, induCed
him to form the disadvantageous contracts now
the subject of complaint. The -Ministry would
afterwards gladly have quasheli.hem, but 'ai
that was impossible, M. Joinville was. sent to
moderate their evil consequences `as much as
possible. M. Pubourg, in voting for the law,
proposed that the consideration of',the stini'of
5' ,239,639 f. paid to Ouvrard, should stand over
until the issue of the judicial proceedings were
known.—M. Casimir Perrier was surprised that
'the Committee- should -have commented upon
the contracts with o_uvrard, and remained silent
tipoli the other extra expenses, as, for instance,
those of the Minister of• War- An inquiry alone
Ecould throw light upon the subject. If .the ltilif
misters refused

rest eternally npOtrthem. M. de Corbieres said
that the war was not made against Spain, but

cedent for such a step, as, since 1652, a provision
had been made for the Ministers of the Presbyte-
rian Church in the North of I reland,vvhich amount-
ed to nearly the same sum which he should propose
for the maintenance of the Catholic Priests. The
latter were in number about 2,000, whom he
should divide into- three classes. To the first,
comprising one-tenth.of the whole, or .200 indi-
viduals, he would give 2001. a year a piece, which
would make 40,0001. • To the seConct,:comprising

Bishops, or 22,0001.; and 3001. a year to the 26
Deans, or 7;8001. Thi,se.allowancei would make
a .total of 231,8001.: but in caie.the number
of the second class should have been 'under-
rated, it would take. the"Whole'at 250;900/. To
supply this, he called upon " the richer part of
the richest nation upon earth to contribute a
portion of its overplus, the- crumbs. from its
table, to the spiritual wants of the poorer."
The Noble Lord then :concluded:by moving a
Resolution embodying the •.,principal point on
which he had enlarged. Mr. Secretary Peel
and Mr, Secretary Croulliu'rn, opposed the
motion on the ground. that the House .had
been put in possession of no information on the
subject, and that,the pc-gposedmeasure was one
of too much importance to be prissed.- forward
with so much precipitation. Mr:-flume would
not consent to the measure unless the money were
taken from the Church, and moved as an amend-
ment, " that a Select Committee be "appointed
to inquire: whether it
_is` expedient that the Ca-
tholic PrieithoOd and .all DlsientingNinicters of
England, Ireland, and • Scotland, should have an-
nual stipends paid by the, nation, and how much."
—Mr. Brougham and
,Mr.:Plunkett supported
the Motion, and the House ultimately rejected
the Amendment, and passed the ori,L'inalßeso-
IntiOn by a majority of 205 to 162:• It is there-
fore likely that this measure, which like all ex-
periments is one of a very doubtful' policy, will
be, successfully carried through- the House of
Commons. In an early part of the evening Mr.
Stuart Wortley's Game Laws Bill was read ,a
third time and passed, after a division in whiCh
the numbers were 94 to 69. •

[NEW Tunes.]
The Debate on the Corn Laws has determined
two points very distinctly—one, that the Legis-
lature does Hot mean to revise the present system
this Session—the other, that it is contemplated,
at same future' period, to allow a trade in corn
constantly to all nations in the world, but
subject to.sisCh a fixed duty as may protect the
capitals vested in agriculture from an unequal
competition in the home market.—lt is Candidly,
admitted, that the delay may possibly be at-
tended with inconvenience, but it is con-
sidered
_that the evils arising from . preci-
pitation would ,he much greater. Between
these opposite dangers the Government
.has to
steer a cautious course ; and its present de-
termination has not been taken without the most
grave and serious deliberation. One
_reason
for postponing the decision on the main qu'estion
is, the necessity for getting rid of a quantity of
warehoused corn, which,. upon the opening of the
ports,
.woula, be ;poured
.at once into the mar-
ket. It is intended by Mr. Huskissoo to, intro-
duce. a Bill without delay for permitting the
Warehoused corn, consisting of about 400000
Quarters, to be brought out in monthly portions,
of 100,000 Quarters "each, so as to prevent.any
sudden glut in the market; and before the end of
August, probably, the whole will thui have been
cleared off. It remains to be considered on
what principle we may look to conduct the corn
trade hereafter. The principles of free trade
cannot be simply applied-to this subject. The
seasons are beiOnd human controuL The taxa-
tion of this country is so much heavier than that of
neighbouring nations, that a price, to a certain de-
gree factitious, is inevitable. We cannot expect to
grow corn as cheap as in Poland ; . nor is it abso-
lutely necessary that we should do so, but it is
absolutely necessary, that the prices of commo-
ilities, and, above all, of a commodity so essential
to human subsistence, as corn, should be kept as
steady as the nature of things will permit.. The
Metropolitan and other Petitions have stated,
in
most unequivocal terms, the conviction of the
PetitiOners that the interests of the grower and
consumer 'of corn are ultimately identical. In
tut mpting to grasp too much, either party would
injure itself by the mischief it would 'occasion to
the 'other ; but if a moderate proteCting price
were lied,'and secured by a knoWn and certain
duty, the great object of steadiness of price
would probably be obtained.
