CORPORATION WINE.—A curious cireuirtstaDce,
and one-, at the same time, which serves to verify the old
adage, that " it is an ill wind that blows nobody good," oc-
curred at the Town Council Meeting on Tuesday. The
stock of several dozens of wine, discovered in the Corporation
cellar, was ordered by the Council to be transferred to the
Dispensary, for the benefit of the sick poor ! Who ever

RIO DE JANEIRO PAPERS.

(From the Correia Official, Dec. 2. )
This being the anniversary of the birth of our young Ern'
peror, Don Pedro 11., on which his Majesty has completed the
10th year of his age; the happy event has been celebrated with
great rejoicings.
DEC. 12.—OFFICIAL.—CARTA DE LEl.—The Regent, Iri
the name of the Emperor, •Senhor Don Pedro the Second,
makes known to all the subjects of the empire that the General
Legislative Assembly has decreed, and that his Majesty bee
given his sanction to the following law :
" Art. 1. Senhora Donna Maria the Second, Queen of
Portugal, has lost the right of succession to the Crown of the
Empire of Brazil.
" Article 2. Senhora Donna Januaria Legitimate,
daughter of Senhor Don Pedro the First, shall be
recognised as Imperial Princes, according to Art. 15,
sec. 3, of the Constitution, and of the law of 26th August,
1826, as successor to the Throne after his Majesty Don Pe'
11. and his legitimate descendants. All the authorities
concerned are ordered to see to the entire execution of this
law ; and the Secretary of State for the Interior will cause it
to be printed, published, and circulated.
" Given at the Palace of Rio de Janeiro, 30th October,
1835-the 14th year of the independence of the Empire.
" DIEGO ANTONIO FEIGO.
" ANTONIO PAULINO LIMPO DE ABREO."

The accounts from Pernambuco are favourable. The mu-
tiny in the camp of Agua Preta did not extend to all the brave
Pernambucan soldiers. The 600 men of that province or-
dered to go to Para with those of other provinces, to enforce
the respect due to the magistrates and to the laws, were em-
barked.
We know nothing from Bahia, except that there was still
some fear that the negroes would again rise ; but as the au-
thorities were vigilant, these semi-barbarians had not made anY
further attempt.
Entire tranquillity prevails in all parts of the vast province
of Menai. The accounts from St. Paulo are favourable.
There is no news from Para, only that the rebels remain je
possession of the town, which is nearly ruined.—Correio 0./T'
cial, Dec. 17.

Why Benjamin chose Runnymede for his cognomen
we have not been able to discover. Runnyme'de, the
field, as all the world knows, derives its claims to vene-

ration from its association with the great charter of our
liberties ; Runny►nede, tl►e writer, will probably owe
his notoriety to his connexion with an apostate Journal.
The alliance was worthy of the high contracting parties.

THE INQUISITOR. Macrone, 1836.
This volume is composed of letters purporting to be
:vritten by a number of persons, and addressed to a
gentleman who calls himself Trelawnev Tomkinson.
he subjects treated of are as numerous as the assumed
circle of correspondents—literature in every shape and
form, travels in Spain, criticism, politics, scandal,
fashion, and the clubs. We prefer the criticisms on
Dante's divine comedy to all the other papers. With
much that is valuable this volume contains a great
deal of useless rubbish.

FLOGGING in the HOUSE OF LORDS.

I've thought of a plan—a capital plan
As ever was yet concciv'd by man—
To quell patrician faction's storm,
And quicken the march of true Reform ;
And this it is—to put in force
The Flogging System without remorse
(Since it well with Tory tastes accords)
In the otherwise hopeless House of Lords.
If a cat well laid on a soldier's back
Can force him into honour's track,
It must be of equal use, 'tis clear,
When laid on the back of a Tory Peer.
Just think how Lyndhurst would improve
In worth, and all that patriots love,
Were his arms to the halberts tightly tied
And a brawny drummer by his side !
How improved too would be Law's condition
Were he but placed in the same position,
While a six-foot Pat the lash unfurled
Above his head so trimly curled
Then Philipotts ! sure a wholesome flogging
Would give his virtues such a jogging,
So cool his red-hot party splcea,
And quicken his sense of right, I ween,
That when he'd received a dozen, he'd be
The very soul of purity I
Then, hey, for Flogging in the Lords,
God save the cat and its nine cords !
We'll flourish it soon about the ears
Of those reprobates, the Tory Peers ;
Dub Dan the drummer, and bid him try
his best, while Joey Hume stands by
In a medical capacity

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and
Dutch mails ; also a mail from Vera Cruz, by the Reindeer—
sailed July 3, and from Havannah July 17.
The telegraphic dispatches received this morning from
Paris, with the account of a military revolution at Ildefonso,
which obliged the Queen of Spain to accept the Constitution
of 1812, has made a great stir in the City ; and the general
topic of conversation entirely relates to that affair. Great
anxiety is felt for the next accounts from Madrid, to ascertain
the decision of the Council which was sitting when the dispatch
left Madrid on the 13th inst., as well as the part which the
garrison will take under General Quesada.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

THE JANE COOTS, OF PLTMOUTIL—The following com-
munication was posted yesterday at Lloyd's concerning the
above vessel :—" Fishguard, Oct. 31.—1 have succeeded in
saving the cargo of copper ore. The situation of the coast is
such that there is no chance of a vessel being able to take the
cargo from that place until about April next. The consignee
appears determined to have it housed, but I think it would be
better to have it carted to Fishguard, from whence it might be
shipped immediately, which would be the more advisable. The
vessel is so much injured that I fear she cannot be repaired."
TIIE HOFFNUNG, CLASSEN, FROM LIVERPOOL TO MEMEL.--
" Lerwick (Shetland), Oct. 26.—The brig Hoffnung, from
Liverpool, with a cargo of salt, became water-logged on the
19th inst. The ship Jane, of Hull, on her voyage from Davis'
Straits, discovered the vessel with a flag of distress, who went
to their assistance, and took the crew out. A party from the
Jane volunteered to go on board the Hoffnung. They suc-
ceeded in bringing her safe into Scalloway, west side of the
Shetlands, upon the evening of the 21st inst , where she now
lays, and will commence to-morrow to discharge, if the weather
permits. A great part of the salt is destroyed."
Tix MAW ALIGA.—The undermentioned letter was yester-
day received at Lloyd's from the Netherlands Consulate :
" Fenchurch-street, Nov. 2, 1836.—Sir----With reference to
the accounts of the loss of the Dutch vessel the Maw Alida,
Captain Bergman, communicated by your agent at Plymouth,
I beg to add the agreeable intelligence that the master and
crew of that unfortunate vessel were picked up at sea and
brought to London, by the Emma, Captain Maine, of whose
kindness and humanity on this occasion Captain Bergman
speaks in the highest terms. The loss of the Maw Alida was
occasioned by a leak, and not by any run down, as presumed at
Plymouth.—l am, &c.

REFORM DINNER AT LEES.

(From the Manchester Times.)
On Wednesday evening Vac Refoemers of Lees dined to-
gether at the White Swan. The majority were freeholders
of the county. Mr. WILLIAM HALLIWELD occupied tho
chair, supported on the right by C. Hindley, Esq., M.P.,
and gentlemen f;rom Ashton, and on the left by T. Hopkins,
Esq., and gentlemen from Manchester and Salford. The
dinner and the wines were excellent. After thy: health
of " The King," " The Queen," and " The Princess Vic-
toria, had. been given with the usual demonstrations of
respect,

The CHAIRMAN proposed " His Majesty's Ministers,
and may they fearlessly contend for the people's rights."
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Charles Hindley,
Esq., M.P.

Mr. HINDLEY expressed his thanks in an ebquent

peech. He said that there was so near an approximation
of Whig to Tory, and of Reformer to Whig, and of Ra-
iical to Reformer, that it was impossible to draw the line
between them ; but he wished to stand in no equivocal po-
sition in the scale. He avowed himself a decided Radical,
not because Radicalism was revolutionary, but because it
was the best guarantee of liberty, and for the security of
every institution that was worth preserving. Mr. Hindley
proceeded to allude to some of the measures of last Session.
The reduction of the duty on Newspapers would give a
popular and a more independent and more useful character
to the Press. The Marriage Bill he characterized as an
insult to the Dissenters. The Church Bill he denounced as
grossly unjust, inasmuch as the enormous allowances to the
Bishops prejudged a question which ought not to have been
touched till justice was done to the Dissenters. He then
alluded to the refusal of justice to Ireland, and the enor-
mous expenses to Great Britain in consequence of that re-
fusal ; but he took higher ground than mere expenditure—.
the Irish were our brothers, and we should contend for
their liberties as our own, for there ought to be no greater
difference between England and Ireland than between York-
shire and Lancashire. Mr. Hindley concluded by proposing
the health of their excellent Chairman, which was drunk
with enthusiasm.
Several other toasts, embodying important principles,
were subsequently given, and the meeting broke up about
one o'clock.
London, England, 1836-11-03

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Thos. Downs, cheesemonger, of No. 7, Lower
Porchester-street, Edgware-road, appeared on a warrant
before Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with having assaulted
John Burgess, a wood-cutter, of Queen-street, Paddington.
On Monday last, Thos. Downs was wending his way
home with a fine live goose under his arm, when Burgess
thought proper to call out after him' Who stole the goose?
Here's a man coming after it." Whereupon the goose-
bearer, whose conscience was remarkably tender, became so
alarmed that he dropped his burthen, although he had ho-
nestly purchased it for 4s. ; and goosey, availing herself of
the glorious opportunity, waddled off as fast as her legs
could carry her, and, plunging into the Regent's Canal,
effected her escape, at which Burgess laugheeheartily, tel-
ling Downs that he was a goose himself to let the bird go
upon such a false alarm. The latter became, at length,
so irritated at this new insult, coupled with the loss of his
dinner, that he ran up to his tormentor, and struck him
a blow under the ear, which staggered him, and fully con-
vinced him that he (Downs) was not joking. This was the
assault complained of.
Mr. RAWLINSON dismissed the case, telling the parties
they had better be friends.

The suggestion was complied with, and they shook
hands in the office amidst much laughter, in which the bench
heartily joined.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, fur-
ther to consider the report of the Revenue Committee re-
specting Committee allowances ; when the Court, after a

mittee Allowance-- £5OO

ROCHESTER CHARITY.

This was the petition of John Batten, Wm. Nicholls,
Edward Boyle, and several other persons, who formed part
of the individuals who had been nominated as Town Coun-
cillors of Rochester, praying that the report of the Master
of the 20th of September might not be confirmed, and that
it might be referred back to him to review his report.
From the statements in the petition it appeared that in
August last a petition was presented on the behalf of nine of
the nominated Town Councillors of Rochester, opposed
in politics to the petitioners, praying that they might
be at liberty to go in before the Master for the purpose
of nominating seventeen individuals as trustees of the
different charities held by the Corporation of Rochester.
The prayer of that petition was granted, and the parties
went in before the Master, and nominated seventeen indivi-
duals, whose politics were totally at variance with those of
the petitioners, as trustees. No notice of these proceedings
had been given to the petitioners, otherwise they would have
appeared in the Master's office to oppose the nomination.
The Master made his report, approving of the individuals
proposed, and for the purpose of preventing the confirmation
of that report, the present petition was presented.
Mr. ANDERSON, who appeared in support of the petition,
said that the town of Rochester was most unfortunately
situated, it being in effect without a Mayor or Town Council,
the parties nominated to that office being equally divided as
to politics. One section of the Town Council totally op-
posed to the petitioners had procured the approval of the
Master of seventeen individuals of their own way of
thinking in politics. This nomination the Learned Counsel
submitted was unfair and improper, and the Court would
not allow it to stand.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could not consider it a
fair objection to a party being a trustee, that he held cer-
t ain political opinions.
Mr. ANDERSON submitted that there ought to be a
proper infusion of both parties ; here, however; every gen-
tleman entertained not only particular political opinions, but
were decided partizans.
Mr. BLUNT, who appeared to oppose the petition, ob-
jected to its proceeding further at present, as he had not
seen the affidavit in support of the petition which had been
filed to-day.
The case was then ordered to stand over for a week.

BRUSSELS.

OCT. 30.—His Majesty the King arrived at Brussels the
day before yesterday.
Letter for the convocation of the ordinary session of the
Chambers for 1836-37, have just been addressed to the
Members of the Chamber of Representatives and the Se-
nate. The letters announce that the session will be opened
by the King in person, on Tuesday, the Bth of November
next. _

The Chevalier de Zamorano presented on the 28th to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, his credentials as Charge
d'Affaires in Belgium, for the Government of the Queen-
Regent of Spain, in the room of the Chevalier Argaiz.
Nov. I.—We learn by letters from the Borenage, that
the fermentation is abating. The arrest of the principal
agitators, gives reason to expect that the great body of the
workmen will soon retum to their work ; for we are as-
sured that the greater part of them had no share in the
disorders, and begin to be sensible that, by refusing to
work, they injure themselves as much as their employers.

On Saturday morning, as Sergeant Blair, of the
Horse Artillery, was going to exercise his company on
Woolwich Common the unfortunate man complained of
being unwell ; he was taken from his horse and conveyed
home, and, shortly after reaching it, broke a blood vessel.
Every attention was paid him, but he died in a few hours.
The deceased, who was much respected in the regiment,
has left a widow and five children to lament his loss,
London, England, 1836-11-03

SHIPTON V. TIIORNTON.

This was an action brought to recover a sum of money,
582/., being the amount of the difference between the
freight of certain goods brought to England from Batavia,
in the Sesostris and the Mountaineer, instead of being
brought in the James Scott. At the trial of the cause be-
fore Mr. Justice Coleridge, at the sittings after last Term
in London, it appeared that the goods had been originally
shipped on board the James Scott at Singapore ; but that
vessel had encountered some very heavy weather in the pas-
sage to Batavia, and the master had shipped the goods into
the Mountaineer and the Sesostris. The goods were
brought to England in these vessels. The Learned Judge
left it to the Jury to say whether the transhipment bad
been a matter of necessity or not. The jury found that it
had been a matter of necessity, and therefore returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for the full sum claimed.
Mr. CRESVVELL now moved for a rule to show cause why
this verdict should not be set aside.
'rho COURT granted a rule to show cause.

count of his going to the University.—Ordered.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

CONTEMPT.-RACHEL V. RACHEL.

Mr. SHARPE applied in this case under the statute, that
an appearance might be put in for the defendant, who was
in custody of the Messenger ; and also that he might be
turned over to the Fleet for contempt for not having put
in that appearance.
After the COURT had made the order,
Mr. SHARPZ requested his Honour to say a few words
to the prisoner, to convince him if he could that the course
he was adopting was wrong. As he was the eldest son,
nobody could persuade him that he was not entitled to cer-
tain property left by his father, as against his other brothers.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR enquired if the father had made
a will ?

Mr. SHARPE replied that he had, but notwithstanding
that the defendant persisted in his right to the property,
and, as was usual in cases where relations were opposed to
each other, the greatest animosity prevailed.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, if such was the dispo-
sition of the defendant, all he could say to him, he was
afraid, would have little or no effect ; his better way would
be to have legal advice upon the subject.
The Messenger who took the defendant into custody,
said that he was certain it was not in his power to employ
Counsel, as he was in the most abject state of poverty.
Mr. SHARPE said the suit altogether was a pauper's suit.
Mr. L. IVIGRAm was most ready to advise the defendant
as to the best course for him to adopt, and this being
agreed to, the papers in the case were handed over to the
Learned Gentleman.

people will rally round Ministers so long as they are
persuaded they have the welfare of the people at heart.
Backed by the people, they may defy all their enemies.
Deserted by the people, they fall an easy prey to the
Tories. They cannot hope to conciliate the Tories ;
and nothing is so much to be deprecated as language
representing the differences between the Tories and
Reformers as trifling. The people have no confidence
in Tory professions, and will not, therefore, be the
dupes of the promises of Reform in the Tory organs,
thrown out to neutralise opposition. But Ministers
must justify the confidence reposed in them by the
people by a bold and decided course. The people of
England will never desert those who fight their battles
in good earnest. The greatest coward, on the other
hand, takes courage when he sees his adversary irreso-
lute. Let bold defiance to the Tories, then, be the
rallying cry with all Reformers.—Morning Chronicle.

CHANCERY COURT-WEDNESDAY.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY.
Sir W. HORNE moved, in this cause, on the part of the
relator, for leave to amend the information, by adding to it
a translation of a will written in Latin, and admitted by the
defendants in their answer. The information was filed to ,
procure the administration of a charity which, it was alleged,
the Fishmongers' Company were bound to distribute, un-
der the will of Henry Preston, who died in 1434. The
defendants, in their answer, denied that they took the pro-
perty under the will, or that they were bound to distribute
it as a charity ; but they admitted that there was such a
will, and placed in the schedule to their answer a copy of
it, written in Latin, which they said they had found in
their books, and which was all they possessed, as the ori-
ginal had been lost. The sole object of the relators was
to put the Court in possession of a fair translation of the
dog-Latin of the document in question.
Mr. KNIGHr and Mr. ROMILLY opposed the motion.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the motion must
be dismissed with costs.
There being no other motion, his Lordship rose at three
o'clock.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

PHELPS V. SPROULE.

His HONOUR, on resuming his sittings, delivered judg-
ment on the only point which remained undisposed of in

as cause.

The purchase money of an estate had been paid out of
the personal assets of the purchaser, to the exclusion of
various other claimants on those assets ; the question was,
whether those persons could resort to the equitable lien of
the vendor on the estate, or, in other words, whether the
vendor's lien was affected by the general rule as to marshal-

ling assets.
His HoNoux said, in the present case the estate had de-
scended to the heir-at-law of the purchaser, and the weight
of principle and authority was abundantly in favour of
holding that the assets ought to be marshalled. The adverse
cases were not reconcileable with the general classes of cases
on this subject, and had been, in fact, positively overruled.
His Honour decreed accordingly.

PURIFICATION OF COAL-GAS.

Mr. H. Phillips, superintending engineer of the Exeter
Gas works, has discovere4 the means of arresting the
-volative alkali, to which, from its known corrosive pro-
perty, when in contact with copper or brass, is to
be 'attributed the destruction of cocks, fittings, and
meters ; and as azote (one of the constituents of
ammonia) is highly injurious to respiration, that
peculiarly pungent and obnoxious quality of the air
in rooms in which gas is burnt, for a long por-
tion of the night, is probably augmented, if not
produced by it, from the circumstance of the am-
monia not being previously separated : azote is
alike injurious to combustion ;—by employing two burners
of the same size, and supplying one with gas from which the
ammonia has been removed, and the other with gas from
which the ammonia has not been removed, the superiority
of the light produced by the one over that produced by the
other will be clearly apparent. Mr. Phillips has taken
out a patent for his discovery.----Worcester Journal.
London, England, 1836-07-01

CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

In all Counties, or Divisions of Counties, a Central Com-
mittee should be formed, with which all District Committees
should act in unison.

The place of meeting of such Central Committee should be
the County Town (where there is one in the Division), or the
City or Town of the largest population.
Every Central Committee should hare a Chairman, a De-
puty Chairman, a Secretary, and a Treasurer.
DUTIES OF CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The duties of each Central Committee will be-
-Ist. Generally to superintend the entire registration of the
County or Division.

2nd. To insure the formation of a District Committee at
mcst convenient place in each polling district.
3rd. To furnish each District Committee with all legal
'orras for claims or objections in respect of votes.
4th. To circulate in each district, manuals and other infor-
mation useful to Electors.

sth. To make adequate preparation in the week imme-
diately following the first Sunday in -September, for the ap-
proaching revision of votes by the Barristers throughout .the
whole County or Division.
An Annual Meeting of the Central Committee and a De-
putation from each of the District Committees should take
place early in the month of Juno ; and such Annual Meeting
should be held in the most convenient-locality. At such
Meetings the necessary arrangements for the Annual registra-
tion of the Counties may be considered, and planned.
A skeleton map of each County or Division should be printed
or lithographed by each Central Committee; distinguishing
the names and divisions of the parishes ; affixing to each parish
a number correspondinti with the schedule on the margin of
the map ; and leaving columns for the entry of their respec-
tive number of voters.
