IN HANTS. ADJOINING TO HIGH CLERE PARK, THE
EARL OF CARNARVON'S, AND ON THE ROAD TO
ANDOVER, THE EAST WOODHAY ESTATE, ABOUT
1,300 ACRES, WELL TENANTED.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the George and Pelican, Speenhamland, on THURSDAY, the
18th of August, at Twelve, in 27 Lots, by direction of a Noble
Lord,
AN exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, comprehending
THE EAST WOODHAY ESTATE,
which embraces altogether
TWELVE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIX ACRES
of very good meadow, pasture, arable, and wood Land...
The Estate altogether is very advantageously circumstanced, in
asmuchas it is so close as to be identified with

HIGH CLERE PARK AND-lig SPLENDID
DEMESNE ;
while the high turnpike road from
NEWBURY TO ANDOVER
passes through the property, and are both available as first-rate
Markets. The situation is altogether one
OF SURPASSING BEAUTY ;
and a purchaser will find it difficult to restrain an inclination to
add to the number of gentlemanly seats—always remembering,
that, without encountering any portion of its expenditure, it must
necessarily partake in an eminent degree of
THE WOODLAND SCENERY
for which the Estate,
THE EARL OF CARNARVON'S SEAT,
is proverbial.
The estate is divided into several lots, still reserving in their
original state some exec...ll,V Farms, including
STARGROVE HOUSE,
which, in the olden times, was the abode of the Proprietor, and
from its commanding position, will present irresistible claims to be
a little renovated, and thus restored to its ancient consequence.
The Church farm is equally eligible, and approaches the rural vil-
lage of East Woodhay. It was, in earlier times,
THE EPISCOPAL PARK

OF THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.
The Land throughout the Estate is most excellent, and the
tenants highly respectable. It is not only in the neighbourhood of
the best Markets in England, but possesses the additional charm of
field-sports of every description. The soil is very congenial to
the growth of barley, and a considerable portion adapted to sheep
and turnip-farms—indeed, the land throughout is convertible.
There is an abundance of lime, so that the land is always secure in
having the best possible dressing. The tenants will be so good as
show the different farms.
Particulars may be had, 20 days prior to the Sale, at the Star,
Andover ; George, Spcenhamland ; the Jack of Newbury i White
Hart, Salisbury ; of Mr. Bennett, White Oak, High Clere ; of
Mr. Baker, Newbury; of Mr. R. Bicknell, solicitor, Bloomsbury-
square ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.

THE FUNDS.

There being no arrivals this morning of the least import-
ance, causes a stagnation in the operations of the Funds.
Consols which closed on Saturday at 914 s for the Account,
and 914 for Money, opened at the same prices this morning,
at which they continue, with little doing. Exchequer Bills,

We have seen private letters from St. Sebastian, received
this morning, of the 25th, to the following effect :
" Probably in about eight days the English Legion and
Chapelgorris will occupy Hernani, Astigerregn, and Oyarzum.
About fourteen hundred Carlists are still occupying the
heights near St. Sebastian, at cannon shot distance. They
are forming new parapets; still it is supposed they will not
resist when attacked. We expect some smart work at
Hernani.

Consols have continued stationary during the morning, at

Exchequer Bills, 20 18; India Bonds, 5 4; Bank Stock,

In the Share market there is very little doing. Brighton,

rather lower, being at 91 premium. In other shares no alte-

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The north-easterly winds have retarded our arrivals, with
the exception of the ordinary foreign mails, viz.:—Two French,
two Ostend, and one Dutch. We have no ship letters.
Accounts have been received from Vera Cruz to the 16th
March, with information of the death of the President, Gene.
ral Barragan, of Mexico, who was generally esteemed. His
illness lasted fifteen days.
The Phare de Bayonne gives accounts to the 25th ult. from
St. Sebastian, stating that on the 23d, 2,000 more of the Bri.
tish Legion, with their light artillery, landed there ; and on
the morning of the 24th ult., several vessels were perceived
laden with troops, which are supposed to have the cavalry on
board.

On the 23d the Carlists established a battery of three or
four pieces at Cape Figueras, which fired on a steamer going
from St. Sebastian to Socoa. Leon Iriarte attacked, on the
20th ult., the Carlists, who established a wooden bridge on
the Arga at Vidauneta. The Carlists retreated on Ulzama,
and the bridge was destro)ed.

COURT MAGAZINE.

The portrait for this month's Number is that of the
Countess of Nelson, which is well engraved, with the ex-
ception of the arm, which is awkward in its position, while
the fingers are stiffly stretched out, just as if the lady were
in a fit. The white satin drapery, however, has a very
rich, glossy look. The landscape engraving is a sketch of
Mereworth Castle, the magnificent seat of Lord Le
Despencer. The literary department consists, for the most
part, of Griginal tales, some of a grave, and some of a bit-
nmurous charaetuf, The majority of these are pleasantly
written, and fertile in incider4,

LIB1?A1lY OF FICTION.
The tales in this Number are partly original, and partiy
selected ; among the former is one entitled " Passages in
the Life of Francis Loosetish,
.Esq.," which is written in a
smart and lively style, and contains one or two piquant
sketches of character. It is the best article in the Number.

Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.

Two young men, who gave their names John Brunsden
and Thontas tVinterjlood, were charged upon suspicion of
stealing a fine grey charger, alleged to be one of the horses
engaged in the drama of Chevy Chace at Drury-lane
Theatre.

Police constable, 31 L, at half-past two o'clock yester-
day morning was on duty in Webber-street, Blackfriars-
road, when he observed the prisoner Brunsden leading a
horse ridden by a female, and followed by the prisoner and
another female. Suspecting that it had been stolen he
watched them, and in the Blackfriars-road the female dis-
mounted, when the other woman was assisted up, and,
after riding some distance, witness obtained the aid of
another constable, and took the whole party into custody.
The horse was brought in custody of the police to the
office-yard, where it betrayed every appearance of having
been trained to the stage.
Winterflood, upon being called on to reply to the charge,
said that he was in a state of intoxication when taken into
custody, and at the station-house had told a great many
falsehoods, but the fact was that the horse belonged to Mr.
Meredith, the equestrian, and had been given into his charge
to take to the stables.

Mr. Meredith identified the horse, and as it did not ap-
pear that there was any felonious intention on the part of
the prisoners, they were ordered to he discharged.

MARY LEB ONE.

After the disposal of the night charges, and while
throughout the office " a solemn stillness reigned," a num-
ber of ladies and gentlemen rushed forward in order to have
the Magistrate's decision with regard to the real ownership
of a fancy lap-dog.
The complainant in the case was a fashionably-dressed
female, with the very pleasing name of Maria Matilda
Jones ; and the defendant a little man, with a formidable
pair of carotty whiskers, said, in a penny-trumpet voice,
that he was Mister Weatherley, of Somer's Town.

Miss Jones had had possession of the dear creature for
upwards of two years, and on Sunday last as she was
taking an airing, the defendant seized hold of Flora (for
that was the pet's name), and alleging that she was her pro-
perty, carried her off. She (Miss Jones) having since as-
certained where her favourite was, went to the defendant's
house, when he told her to go about her business, and also
used towards her the most indelicate language.
Miss Jones brought forward witnesses to prove her right
and title to the lap dog, and the defendant also produced
several persons who gave testimony in favour of his claim.
Miss Jones, who looked most affectionately at the object
in dispute, and in the course of investigation completely
saturated a cambric handkerchief with her tears, here sobbed
out, " Flora, dear Flora I" and from the excessive fondness
and delight which the animal evinced at the lady's voice, it
was quite clear as to how the question of ownership should
be decided.
Miss Jones, by the authority of Mr. Shutt, then quitted
the office with the dog, to the discomfiture of the other
party.

CASE OF LIEUTENANT MAW.

Mr. A. PE LHA M presented a petition from Lieutenant
Lister Maw, R.N., praying the House to take his case into
consideration. This was a case of great hardship. This
gentleman had been tried by a court-martial in South America,
and he ( Mr. Pelham) believed that it vas truly stated in the
petition, that this court-martial was illegal. It was, lie under-
stood, illegal, in consequence of one of the officers being a
second captain. He moved that the petition be read at length.

The petition having Len read,
Mr. LABOUCHEIZE said that the Court-martial had
been a perfectly legal one. He admittdll, however, that the
sentence had been rather harsh; and the Admiralty bad done
all in their power to remedy it, by restoring Lieutenant Maw
to his station in the Navy.

The SPEAKER (a we understood) said it appeared to
him the petition could not be entertained by the House, be-
cause it prayed for a grant of money. The petitioner had a
pension under the Act of Parliament.
After a few observations from Capt. PECUELL, the petition
was withdrawn.

HITCHCOCK V. COKER.

This was an action against the defendant on a contract
by which he bound himself, in consideration of being at that
time in the employment of the plaintiff, that if at any time
thereafter, directly or indirectly, he should in his own name,
or for his own use and benefit, carry on the business of a
chemist and druggist within three miles of the town of
Taunton, he should pay the plaintiff the sum of 5001.,
which should be recovered, not as a penalty, but as liqui-
dated damages. The cause was tried at the Somerset-
shire Spring Assizes in 1835, before Mr. Baron Gurney,
when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, to the full amount
stated in the agreement. A rule had since been obtained
to set aside the judgment and have a new trial, or arrest
the judgment on the ground that this contract was illegal.
The Court took time to consider the case.

COMMON PLEAS.-SATURDAY.

WESTON V. FOSTER.

The action in this case, which was tried before Mr. Jus-
tice Vaughan, was brought fur the recovery, upon a personal
security of the owner of the ship Elizabeth, of a sum of
4001. alleged to have been advanced to the Captain of that
vessel previous to her voyage from Sierra Leone to London.
The Captain, whose name was Fortune, requiring a further
advance, gave as additional security a bottomry bond, but
the Elizabeth having been lost on her homeward voyage,
the owner denied his liability under that bond. The Jury,
however, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found a
verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant TAnDY on a former day obtained a rule
nisi for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection ; but
cause having been shown against that rule by Mr. Fitzroy
Kelly, it was ordered by the Court to be discharged.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY now appeared to move an arrest
of judgment or repleader.
The COURT refused to grant the rule.

STAMP DUTIES.

The LORD ADVOCATE presented a petition from the
legal practitioners of Inverness, praying for the repeal of the
duties upon the annual certificates of attornies; also a petition
from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, praying for
the repeal of the duties upon goods sold by auction, and the
duties upon fire insurances,

Mr. 110BINSON hadfour petitions praying for the repeal
or reduction of the duties upon marine insurances—one from
Beaumaris, two from Carnarvon, and the fourth from 900 of
the merchants, underwriters, and insurance brokers of London.
He would say a few words on these petitions, particular on the
last, which was of great importance. He would only state a
few facts to show that in the proposed alteration of the Stamp
Duties it was impossible that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
could with justice decline to admit some reduction of the Stamp
Duties upon marine insurances. The whole tax did not produce
more than 200,000/., which was a small proportion, considering
the magnitude of the transactions over which the
stamps were spread and the very injurious consequences
of them to the trade and commerce of the country.
In the year 1822, -when the, exports and imports did not ex-
ceed 88,000,4001., sterling, the stamp duties on insurances
yielded to the revenue only 300,0001.; and in the
year 1833, when the exports and imports of the re-
venue had advanced from 80,000,0001. .sterling to
123,000,0001., and when, in the same ratio, the revenue for
stamps should have increased from 300,000/. to 400,000/., it had
absolutely diminished to 200,000/. That fact alone proved
the impolicy of the tax ; and he had always understood on the
true principles of finance, that a better test of the impolicy
of a tax could not be at present produced than
that which he had now ventured to allude to. —( Wear.)

The SPEAKER here interrudted the Hon. Membcr, and
stated that, for the sake of the rule which had been laid down,
tile Hon. Member had batter abstain from making any obser-
vations upon the petition.
Mr. ROBINSON would not trespass much longer on the
time of the House. But he wished to state a reason why the
revenue had fallen off, and that eas that foreigners who other-
wise would insure their property in this country, were deterred
from doing so, because hey did not like to contribute to
the revenue by paying the tax. It would be his duty to pro-
pose a reduction of the tax if the Chancellor of the Exchequer
should not do so, and then he should venture to make those
observations which he knew he could not make them without
infringing on the rules of the House.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

The LORDS' did not meet yesterday.
In the COMMONS', petitions were presented against the Cla-
rence Railroad, in favour of the Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way Bill, for a revision of the new Poor Law Act, against the
Fishery Bill, against the Newspaper Stamp Duty, &c. &c.
There was some conversation on private business, in the course
of which it was charged upon certain Members, that in their
opposition or support of Railway Bills they were not always
quite free from motives of pecuniary interest. Sir S. Whal-
ley said, " he wished it to be known that there were other
Members of that House besides himself who voted on matters
in which they themselves were interested. There was one in-
dividual, whose name it was not necessary to mention, who had
voted for a line of way to which he was a subscriber to the
amount of 15,0001. In doing so, too, his was the casting voice
which decided the question." Mr. P. Scrope moved a series
of Resolutions declaratory of the expediency of introducing
Poor Laws into Ireland. Afier a short discussion, in the
course of which Lord John Russell repeated that he was
friendly to the principle of a legal provision for the poor, they
were withdrawn. On a division, the second reading of the
Irish Poor Rate Bill was carried. Mr. Buckingham brought
forward his Bill to provide Walks for the Public. The dis-
cussion had not proceeded far before it was found that there
were only 33 Members then present in the House. The
Speaker consequently adjourned the debate till to-day.

petition for the better obseivance of the Sabbath.

but fell out of bounds. Birds, the best blue rocks.

LIVERPOOL DOCK.—The course now intended to
be pursued by the Council, is, we understand, in the first
iastance, to abide by the terms which they have already of-
fered. But if the delegates sent by the rate-payers to Lon-
don refuse to have these terms admitted into the Bill applied
for, then it -is resolved to oppose such Bill altogether—in
which case, should the opposition be successful, matters will
revert to the same state in which they were in the time of the
Old Council.

DREADFUL INCEST AND MURDER.—John But-
ler, Esq., Coroner, held an inquest at Monasterevan cn Wed-
nesday last, on the body of an infant child, found in the
Church-yard of that town on a previous day. The provi-
dential circumstances which led to the discovery, were the
following : —A woman named Anne Goulding had been lately
brought to bed, and a child of hers, a girl about seven
years old, was telling the circumstance to some other chil-
area she was playing with, that Anne (who stood in close
relationship of being both mother and sister of the child),
meaning her -mother, had a little child the day before, and
that when her father heard the child cry he went into the
room where the mother and infant were, and that he and
her mother tied up the infant in a bag, which the mother
afterwards brought out under her cloak, and the father took
an old shovel with him, that they both soon returned, but
did not bring back the child. A boy who overheard the
child repeating the story immediately repaired to the church-
yard, and after a long search discovered the infant which
had been put scarcely more than below the surface. The
mother, Anne Goulding, was .examined on the inquest, and
persisted in declaring she had no child; at the request of
jury she was examined by a surgeon who declared she had
been very lately confined, but she still denied it. Goulding,
toe father of the wretched mother, and the father of her
child, also denied his daughter's being confined, but in the
course of the night 'acknowledged it, and his having burred
the infant. It is generally supposed that this is the, third
child by this incestuous connection, but if murdered, with
the exception of the child who inadvertently mentioned the
circumstance, they have contrived to hide their guilt. Gould-
ing is an aged man, and is wife is living at Monnasterevan,
apart from him for some years, but considered a very pro-
per well. conducted woman. The jury returned a verdict of
wilful murder against them both, who were brought into
Athy gaol to abide their trial at the next meizes. The
child has also been -brought there for protection. —Leinster

BANKRUPTCY COURT.

DUCXETT, MORLAND, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY.
A mectinc, of the creditors of this banking firm was held.
on Wednesday for the proof of debts, and the declara-
tion of a further dividend. Several additional proofs were
entered.

Mr. BRIGGS said, the assignees expected in a few (lays to
receive between 3,000/. and 4,000/. in addition to the sums
in hand, and it was the wish of the creditors that the divi-
dend should be postponed, in order that the creditors might
have the advantage of this money.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS agreed to the postponement
of the dividend, and asked if that would wind up the con-
cern of the bankrupts ?
Mr. BRIGGS replied that further dividends would no
doubt be declared, as the estate was working much more
favourably than was anticipated.
The dividends already declared on the joint estate
amount to 7s. 4d. in the pound ; the next dividend will be
about ls. in the pound.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

GUII.DHALT.

and William Barker, were brought bdforc Mr. Alderman
WINCHESTER for final examination, charged with receiving

farm of Mr. Walton, of Chigwell Hall, Essex.
They were committed to Newgate as receivers.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The House was engaged till half-past five o'clock in
hearing Counsel upon the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill.
The further hearing of the matter was postponed till Wed-
nesday at ten o'clock.
The Counsel opposing the Bill applied that the House
should send a message to the Commons, asking that the
Attorney-General might have leave to attend and give evi-
dence at the bar.
The Swansea Harbour Murderers' Execution and other
Bills were brought up from the Commons.
Mr. WILKS and others brought up a message re-
questing their Lordships to strike out a clause in the
Marriage Act which had been retained in the Bill, though
it had been ordered to be struck out.

Lord MELBOURNE cited a case in 1797, and one
in 1823, of a similar nature. He thought the proper
course would be to expunge the proviso, and have it
printed without it, and communicate that to the Commons.
Lcrd ELLENBOROUGH thought that it would be
a bad precedent for them to interfere with the Bill.
Lord H ATHERTON thought the proposition of the
Noble Viscount was the proper one for adoption.
Earl SHAFTESBURY said the more proper course
would be for the Commons to ask that the Bill be sent
ack again.
After a short conversation between several Noble Lords,

Lord MELBOURNE moved that the proceedings
already had, on the Marriage Bill, be annulled—that the
proviso alluded to be struck out. The motions were agreed
to, and the Bill wa§ again read a first time.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for a copy of
a petition which had been presented to the Crown,
through- the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
relative to the Church patronage, which was now vested in
the Crown, the former possessors of it having been
Roman Catholics. There was much of the patronage in
Ireland in the hands of the Crown, it having been named
trustee of the persons who could not nominate to
the livings. The descendants of the former possessors
were in many cases Protestants, and according to the Act
the livings should now be restored. The petitioners
had been led to expect that they would have had an answer
before this time, but it appeared as if they were not to get
one. It was for the honour of the Crown that the matter
shall he inquired into, and he hoped the Noble Lord at the
head of the Government would take steps for its immediate
~ettlement

Lord ELLENBOROUGH did not think the matter
•ested either with the Crown or with the Secretary of
•tate. If the persons who signed the petition thought
!ley had a case of hardship to show, it was their duty to
iy it before the Legislature—they ought to bring in a
)ill and endeavour to pass it.
