INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 16.

George Martin, who was unopposed, applied on his peti-
tion to be discharged. The insolvent had been some time
in prison, and had, according to his account, paid his at-
torney 71. for bringing him before the Court. On Thurs-
day night the discharge was lodged at the prison, but the
insolvent remained within the walls, and now came up with
the other prisoners in the hope that the Court would, after
the imprisonment and expense he bad undergone, hear his
case.—The petition was dismissed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HA7'TON-GARDEN.

Mr. Mason, printer, of Clerkenwell-green, attended be-
fore the Magistrates for the purpose of putting in bail on
an appeal to a seizure for church-rates. In consequence of
Mr. Mason's resistance to the church-rate, a distress war-
rant was issued, and a seizure of a ream of paper made on
his premises. He determined on making an arrangement
with some brokers, to attend the auction where the paper
was to be sold, and that it was to be purchased in for is.,
the room was numerously attended
and on the day of sale,
by the brokers, who were all inimical to the church-rates'
and there was no higher bidding than a shilling, until a
printer in the place bid more, and it was °'knocked down"
to him. The brokers became incensed, and insisted that
the article should be put up again, and on the auctioneer's
refusal, the unfortunate printer, to whom the lot was
knocked down, was covered all over with a tub of flour
which happened to be in the room, and he made his escape
over the roof of the house. The bail was received, and the
Parties quitted the office.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.
A young man named Alexander was charged with hav-
ing passed a check, purporting to be drawn by Messrs.
Alexander and Co., Leadenhall-street, for 30/., on a pub-
lican in Princes-street, named Shrubsole, which check,
when presented for payment, was pronounced a forgery.
As it is suspected there are several other charges against
the prisoner, he was remanded till Monday next.

CHANCERY COURT.—(THIS DA c'.`,

CLOUGH V. BOND.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the
decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The plaintiffs
were entitled, under the will of Ann Dixon, to a certain
interest in her personal estate. In the year 1829 letters of
administration were taken out, with the will annexed, by
John Brooks Dixon and John Bond. In 1832 Bond died,
and the defendants were his personal representativei.
Some time after Bond's death, Dixon drew out of Childs,
the bankers', a certain-fund which had been placed by Bond
and himself, in their joint names, in that house ; and the
consequence had been that that fund had been altogether
lost. The plaintiffs then filed their bill, insisting that
Bond's estate was liable to make good the loss, inasmuch
as he had committed a breach of trust in disposing of the
money as he had done. Upon the case coming before his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor, he declared that the estate
of Bond was liable to make good the loss ; and from that
decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship
was clearly of opinion that the deposit of the money had
been improper, and ordered the appeal to be dismissed,
with costs.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE COLONIAL MAR..
KETS DURING THE WEEK.

On the whole, including public sale and private contract,
there has been a fair business done for the time of the year, as
our daily reports have shown. In prices but very little varia-
tion from those of last week. Raw Sugar may be quoted 6d.
per cwt. higher, and Coffee Is. per cwt. lower; Rice, Rum,
Cocoa, Tea, Spices, Indigo, and Cotton, have undergone no
variation. The imports have been moderate; the exports
light, and the deliveries to a very good extent. But little
business advertised for next week.

to return to it ; on the contrary, standing on the formal as-
surance given on the 24th of June, 1834, that the expelled
refugees should be in future interdicted from returning, and
guided by the consideration that the conclusum was abro-
gated solely because those individuals bad been expelled,
the Vorort, in its report of the 29th of September last,
submitted to the Diet the Ist of October, expressed with-
out any opposition the opinion that all expulsion of poli-
tical refugees effected in virtue of the said conclusum of the
23d of August, 1836, remained in full vigour, and that the
individuals in question must be again sent away if they
attempted to return to the Helvetic soil.
In fixing the attention of all the States ou the true point
of the question, the Vorort thinks it can in full security
feel convinced that there is not a Member of the Confede-
ration who will not anxiously take care that the interna-
tional relations of Switzerland with the other States of
Europe be preserved from all danger and annoyance. We
seize this opportunity to give to your Excellencies the as-
sur.►nces of our perfect consideration.

its learned author."—The Western Luminary, May 21, 1838.
" Few men connected with the complicated departments of sur-
gery are deserving of more grateful mention that Mr. Van Butchell,
whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most painful of all
diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in a continued
course of success in cases of the most hopeless and forbidding na-
ture. * a* We find nearly every page recording some
astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings had been for many
years' duration, and most excruciating in their nature. The warmth
of expression with which the gratitude of some of the restored is
couched must be truly gratifying to the feelings and highly credit-
able to the skill and judgment of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly

PEDESTRIANISM.

THE GREAT MATCH. —Harrris, the pedestrian,
who has
been backed to a considerable amount to walk in Battersea-
fields 1,750 miles in 1,000 suecessive hours, still continues to
progress in his arduous undertaking, and at eight o'clock last
night he had completed 1,106 Miles, or nearly two-thirds of
his task. He appears as fresh and as active as when he com-
menced his labours, and entertains not the least doubt of final
success. It is a singular fact, that he has not lost the least
flesh, but, on the contrary, has increased in weight nearly one
stone. When he first entered upon his un lertaking he took
between 21 and 22 minutes for the mile and three-quarters
(an hour's work), but through the whole of yesterday he per-
formed that distance in from 18 to 19 minutes. During his
nightly labours, however, he allows himself 25 minutes for this
portion of his task. The drenching r +ins of the past week so
completely saturated his clothes, that he seas frequently com-
pell, d to change them, although he carried an umbrella in
order to shelter himself as much as possible. This necessarily
fatigued him, and added considerably to his-difficulties. He
complains of a cough caught by being repeatedly wet through
during the late rains, and of pains in his legs, loins, and back,
from which, however, he suffers only in the night. Bets have
considerably increased during the last week.

BOWES V. FIRNIE.

His LORDSHIP was engaged the remainder of the day in
his private room with the arguments on this case.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

IMPORTANT PETITION IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE ABOLITION

OF SLAVERY IN THE WEST INDIAN COLONIES.
NEATE V. PINK.

This case came before the Court upon the petition of
Mr. Horsley Palmer, the consignee of an estate in Jamaica,
praying that the Court would order a certain sum to be
paid to him out of the funds in Court, in order that he
might be enabled to meet bills which had been drawn upon
him by the managers of the estate in Jamaica. The pre-
sent application had become necessary, in consequence of
the total abolition of slavery in the West India Colonies,
rendering it imperative that the daily expenditure of the
Colonies should be met, and the negroes paid, in order to
afford to them the necessaries of life.

Mr. TURNER opposed the application on the ground that
the proper course would be for the consignee to send out
the money himself, and repay his advances by the proceeds
that might conic to his hands.

- The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the general course was
for the consignee to go on making advances, and repaying
himself, and when he had a balance due to him far which
lie trembled, then he presented a petition praying to be
discharged as consignee.
Mr. BURGE, who appeared on behalf of the petitioner,
said if Mr. Palmer had known at the time he paid the
fund into Court, part of
.which he now sought to be paid
out, that the abolition of slavery would have been made
complete in all the British 'West India possessions, he
would probably have hesitated before he paid that money into
Court. He trusted that the Court would not withhold
its assent to the present application, otherwise the negroes
might refuse to work, because in truth there would be no
person or means to pay them their wages. The result of
such a proceeding might be attended with great mischief,
and might prejudice a great public measure in the cause of
humanity in the eyes of surrounding countries.
His HoNoun thought the better course would be to
provide for the sudden contingency that had now arisen
for the first time, instead of allowing time to elapse or
quibbling about who should or should not be the consignee.
He would therefore make the order asked by the petition ;
and if Mr. Turner's clients were dissatisfied with Mr. H.
Palmer they might present a petition. If the money was ad-
vanced out of the fund in Court, when the proceeds were re-
ceived from the next crop the amount might be easily replaced.
His Honour would therefore make the order, being
satisfied it would not prejudice Mr. Turner's client.

BALDWIN V. THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL

KNOWLEDGE.

Mr. WYGRAM then proceeded with his opening of the
motion in this case, the object of which was to obtain an
injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing certain
maps, and had not concluded when our reporter left. We
refrain from going further into the case until it shall have
been more fully heard.

IRELAND.

SACRIFICEOFSIX LIVES AT SoLLIHEAD.—The rumoured
tithe conflict at Sollihead, where it was said six lives were
lost, turns out, as we apprehended it would, a pure inven-
tion—a falsehood and party fabrication. The Irish Tory
Papers, we perceive, inculpate two Liberal prints ; one is
charged with manufacturing, the other with uttering the
forgery.

Mi:O'CONNELL'S TOUR.—From Youghall, where Mr.
O'Connell dined and spoke on Monday (we noticed his
speech yesterday), the Hon. and Learned Gentleman pro-
ceeded to Waterford, at which city he was entertained at a
public dinner by the people of the county of Waterford.
" From the confines of the county (our report states)
thousands assembled to accompany Mr. O'Connell into
Waterford, and at the period of his entering there could
not have been less than 15,000 persons assembled." Mr.
O'Connell's reception was as good as he could, desire, and
his " health" was received, as usual, with the enthusiastic
plaudits for which our neighbours are remarkable. For
the speech which he delivered on this occasion we cannot
find room, nor do we think our readers will much re-
gret the omission, since the matter of which the
Honourable Gentleman's address is composed, necessarily
supplies but a repetition of argument and assertion with
which we are all familiar. Mr. O'Connell. for instance, on
Tuesday, in his character of " Missionary," repeated to the
gentlemen at Waterford, that he felt it " his duty to preach
to them reason and common sense," and again asserted that
England is hostile to Irish interests—that the Radicals of
England may be ranked amongst the opponents of the seven
nrilions of his countrymen—that " they have the folly to
talk of force—the iniquity to hint at an appeal to arms."
All this crimination by Mr. O'Connell is scarcely fair.
Certain we are that the great body of English Radicals
are, at least, as free from the imputation of either a desire
or design to appeal to arms as the Learned Gentleman's
Irish disciples themselves may be.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 27.

WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE YOUNGER'S BANKRUPTCY.

This was a sitting appointed for the further proof of
debts and the final examination of the bankrupt, a grocer
and cheesemong-er, of Kingsland-road.
Mr. J. Lewis claimed to prove on three bills of exchange
of 201. each, which had been given in settlement of an
action by the bankrupt, in which he was concerned, on a
bill of exchange for 761.
Mr. ASHLEY was understood to contend, contra, that a
doubt appeared to exist in the mind of the bankrupt
whether or no a person named De Metz, an attorney's
clerk, who with the bankrupt had been engaged in bill
transactions, had paid part off. The bankrupt would also
swear that he had never received consideration for his
acceptances.

Some recriminatory conversation passed between Mr.
Lewis and the bankrupt.
Mr. Lewis was then examined as to whether he had re-
ceived any money from De Metz in payment of any part of
the present or former bills ? He replied in the negative.
The bankrupt swore that De Metz said he would.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS wanted to know why the bankrupt
had allowed himself to be a pa:ty to bill transactions if his
business had been going on prosperously previous ?
The bankrupt said that De Metz had come to him, and,
they having been schoolfellows, he was led away by a plaus-
ible tale. It had, however, been his ruin.
At the conclusion of some " proofs," Sir C. F. WILLIAMS
said—Bankrupt, why did you not keep an account ?
Bankrupt—l could not ; I was distracted by the persecu-
tion. I was like one out of his mind.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS admitted the proof.
The bankrupt then passed his last examination, the offi-
cial assignee considering the balance-sheet satisfactory.

violating his conscience, attend the State-prescribed
worship !

The motives which prompted this outpouring of
ecclesiastical malignity are not difficult to be found.
The Reverend EBENEZER MORRIS, Vicar of Lla-
nelly, in Carmarthenshire, is, it seems, a rabid Tory,
and played a conspicuous part at the last election for
the county. The unfortunate Churchwarden, JOHN
JAMES, took the opposite side, and voted for the
liberal candidate. This was a crime not to be passed
over. It was ascertained that JOHN JAMES, being a
Dissenter, had failed in his official duty of attending
the pious Vicar's hebdomadal ministrations, and for
this he is, without further ceremony, handed over to
the Ecclesiastical Court of St. David's, the Judge of
which is the Rev. DAVID WILLIAMS, unbeneficed
Parson, and Editor of a violent Tory Newspaper,
called the Carmarthen Journal. By this dignified
and disinterested personage the sentence was pro-
nounced which, as we have already said, consigned
the non-conforming Churchwarden to a dungeon.
The matter has been, as was to be expected, promptly
taken up by the Society for the Abolition of Church-
rates, by whom it has been submitted to the considera-
tion of Government.

The Common Council of the City of London, ever
among the foremost of corporate bodies in stamping
an imperishable value upon sterling merit, has fixed
to-morrow for taking into consideration the propriety
of presenting the freedom of the city to the venerable
THOMAS CLARKSON-the now undisputed leader
of the vanguard of Negro Emancipation. Happy shall
we be to learn that such a testimony of high
regard on the part of the citizens of London, has had
the effect of eradicating from the mind of one of
the purest and most zealous of modern patriots, all
sense of the pain inflicted by the publication of the
groundless attacks upon his fair fame, made by
the sons of WILBERFORCE in their biography
of their father. His " Strictures" upon the
errors of that work have already been noticed
at more than ordinary length in the columns of The
Sun; but as they have reached a second edition, we
shall to-morrow notice some particulars which we
omitted before, but which we consider of importance
to a proper national appreciation of Mr. CLARK.
SON'S labours in the cause of humanity.

The eighth anniversary of the Polish Revolution is
to be commemorated to-morrow, at one o'clock, at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, Lord DUDLEY C.
STUART in the chair. The meeting, so dear to every
lover of freedom, will be attended by several of the
most distinguished political characters of the day.
The present aspect of affairs with Russia gives addi-
tional interest to this meeting.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—Fully convinced, as is
every one engaged in the trade with the ports of the
Danube, that, before eight years, the entrance of this river
must inevitably become closed to merchant ships, unless the
Russian Government be prevailed upon to lay aside its
illiberal views, and employ means such as were constantly
taken by the Turks, till the treaty of Adrianople deprived
them of the possession of the Sulina mouth of the Danube,
in order to prevent the formation of a bar across this outlet,
great has been the satisfaction occasioned here by the state-
ment made by the English Ministerial papers, that the
main object of the fourth article in the treaty of commerce
and navigation concluded in September at Milan between
Austria and Great Britain, is to defeat the hostile inten-
tions Russia did not scruple to manifest against a most im-
portant branch of the commerce of her allies from the day
they were improvident enough to permit her, in violation of
her most sacred mgagements, quietly to usurp so command-
ing a position. In virtue of the above-mentioned article,
merchant vessels under the flag of either of the two con
tracting Powers are in future on their arrival from the ports
of the Danube at any of the ports of both countries to be
subjected to the same duties as those paid by native ships.
It is therefore evident, that either both Cabinets have pre-
vious to the framing of this article come to the dermination
of acting in concert for the removal of the causes which
threaten the navigation of the Danube with total annihila-
tion, or that it will shortly be but a dead letter. Lord Palmer-
ston appears in the present instance to be as loth as Prince
Metternich to take the bull by the horns, and to have come
to the resolution of altogether avoiding his prior encounter.
Instead of addressing remonstrances to Russia, both these
statesmen, it is said, have considered it far more prudent
and rational to extricate navigation and themselves from
the present difficulties, by applying
to the Sultan for
his sanction to the opening of a canal from the port
of Kieustendjeh, in the Black Sea, to the Danube,
near Tchernavoda, This communication, leaving aside
its commercial advantages, to the Porte, would in
a political light become one of so great advantage
to Turkey, that it may confidently be presumed no
objections to this proposal will be made by the Sul-
tan. The execution of a work whereby steam commu-
nication between the Turkish and Austrian capitals
would be reduced from fourteen to ten days is so popular
at Vienna, that it is thonght, in the 0110 t of the Sultan's

We have received private letters from Warsaw, which
convey the following :-
44 DECREE OF THE REGENCY OF WILNA.
" In consequence of the discovery of a treasonable plot
in the kingdom of Poland and the Western Provinces, the
principal chief of which, Simon Konarski, is confined at
Wilna, with his numerous accomplices, his Majesty the
Emperor has deigned to order the immediate sequestration
of the moveable and immoveable property of all the in-
dividuals who have taken part in that criminal and rebelli-
ous attempt (agreeably to the 225th Article of the Penal
Code), and to direct that the said property be placed
under the surveillance of the fiscal administration, and that
the measure be extended not only to those suspected of
participation in the plot, who are already in safe keeping,
but likewise to all persons who in the course of the prose-
cution may be mentioned (pomawiane) or accused, in order
that the sequestration of the property may be simultane-
ously executed with the arrest of the individuals, &c.
" Wilna, Oct. 11, 1838."
This decree is followed by a list of fifteen citizens of
Wilna who were thrown into prison, but persons just arrived
from that city stated that when they left it no fewer than
300 had been arrested, many of them possibly for, that
constructive offence of which the world will hear for the
first time—" the mention of their names" in the course of
the inquiries ordered by the Government.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--The marriage
between Captain Edward King Jennison and the Lady
Louisa Mary Anne Anson, eldest daughter of the Earl of

rough-hall, near Lichfield, en Monday last. There were
present at the ceremony the Earl and Countess of Ux-
bridge, Lord and Lady Waterpark, General Sir George
and Miss Anson, Major-General the Hon. Sir Henry and
Lady King, the Dowager Lady Anson, the Rev. Frede-
rick Anson, and the Misses Anson, &C. After the cere-
mony the bride and bridegroom set off in an elegant new
travelling carriage and four for Leamington Spa, where
they will make a short sojourn en route to the continent.

The staffs of the English militia are immediately to
be augmented to the disembodied establishment, as pointed
out by the 83d clause of the General Militia Act of the 42d
of George 111., c. 90, which directs that one sergeant and
one corporal be appointed to every 30 men, and one drum-
mer to every company, with an additional one to each flank
company. This is with a view to give aid and assistance to
the civil power, and to be in readiness to train the men, it
being intended to re-organize the militia early in the spring.—
Times.

On Friday last, at four o'clock in the morning, as
the Paris patroles were going their rounds, they met in
the Rue Montmartre a personage of dignified appearance
promenading with a shirt for his only clothing. The com-
manding officer addressed some questions to this awful
apparition, but they were received with the natural and
mute contempt of superior beings for vulgar mortals. The
patrole then submitted to escorting the silent unknown,
first to the guard-house, from which they conveyed him be-
fore M. Petit, the Commissary of Police. There he at
last condescended to clothe his thoughts in words. ‘. Who
art thou ?" said M. Petit. "lam a man, and even born a
man," answered the hitherto silent genius, "but I possess
universal science, and with one word of mine I could con-
vert you into a toad !" We need not add, that after so
awful a communication the magistrate lost no time in
having the wanderer conveyed to a place of retirement and
safety.

PIIILIIARMONIC.—A General Meeting of this
Society was held on Monday evening, at the Hanover-
square Rooms, for the purpose of electing a Director in

Cramer, Dance, Potter, T. Cooke, Willman, Anderson, and
Bishop. Treasurer, 11r. Dance ; Secretary, Mr. W. Watts.

hours after the time it used to arrive by its former mode of
travelling.

NEW COURT.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—Samuel John
Green, a respectable looking young man, 18 years of age,
was indicted for stealing an order for the payment of
2,499/. 95., the property of Nathan Meyer Rothschild and
others, to whom he was clerk and servant.

Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner having confessed judgment by pleading
guilty,

Mr. BODKIN briefly stated the facts to the Court. The
prisoner had been in the confidential employment of Baron
Rothschild and Co., and having valuable papers, &c. on the
day in question he absconded with the cheque specified in
the indictment, which he converted into cash and bank-
notes, and left London. He was pursued by the officers to
Liverpool, and there foiled with the greater part of the
money in his possession.
The COMMON SERGEANT said it was a very serious
offence, and the prisoner must be transported. His Lord-
ship said that it was a very unpleasant duty imposed upon
the Court to pass sentence of transportation upon a person
of his age and standing in society, but those who abused the
trust which had been confided in them must take the con-
sequence. The judgment of the. Court was, that he be
transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years.
Richard Gowland, a person respectably attired, was in-
dicted for stealing a cheque for the payment of 4/. 55., the
property of Mr. Charles Shaw, his employer.
Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Shaw deposed that he is an attorney on Fish-street-
hill. Had known the prisoner some years when in better
circumstances. Sometime since he received the prisoner
into his office as clerk at 21. a week. He being in reduced
circumstances advanced him .51. on account. The cheque
was taken from the iron chest on the Bth of the present
month. The prisoner had no business to have access to
that safe. The prisoner acknowledged having taken the
cheque.

TEA SALE.-FIFTH DAY.

• The little improvement which we quoted yesterday, appears to have
subsided, and the sale progresses with much the same business as it did
in the outset. There is a good attendance of the trade, and, if any
thing is to be bought cheap, they purchase ; but generally speaking,
not else. About one-fourth of what is put up sells. This is a very
small proportion.
