GERMAN PAPERS.

SMYRNA, JAN. 7.—Tranquillity seems to be restored in
Syric, and Ibrahim Pacha
_proceeds with more caution than
before. It is confidently believed that the remonstrances of
all the agents of the great European Power.F, have pea ly
contributed to his moderation. Ibrahim, it is true, still causes
the young non to be taken for soldiers, and incorporated with
his army; but it is (lone with less rigour, and exceptions are
made when the circumstances of families miuire it. His army
is organized on a highly lespect:lle footing. He is 'said to
have overcome the main difficulty—that of training the artil-
Ivry in the Europenl manner, and to have eoiv a well equipped
park of nearly one hundred pieces of artiller.y. We hear from
Malta that the English squadron there is to be considerably
reinf-;reed in the month of :4.l2reh, and that Lord Pemonbr,
the English ilmblssador in Constantinople, may be expect:d
at Malta abort same
tune (which, however, is rather im-
probable). All scrt-,; of conjectures arc founded on these state-
ments, and it is feirt the En7lish naval force is increased
only to compel the Porte renounce its last treat; with Rus-
sia. Should such an attemp: be made, it may lead to a con-
flict between England and Puss:.l, as the Porte would not hei-
ti;te to claim the execution of the 1:.-eaties, which secure to it,
in case of foreign aggression, the st,-:)port of the Cabinet of
St. Petersburg,.

cussion commenced; but from what had

fallen from

his Hon. Friend yesterday, he supposed there was
some complaint of the difficulty in obtaining Parlia-
mentary papers. He was a member of the Commit-
tee, and he could state that in the Report, all Bills and papers
connected with the Session were exempted from the rule. The
objection was to papers connected with past Sessions. There
were constant applications to the Speaker, and he knew Hon.
Members would be willing to purchase them, rather than trouble
the Speaker frequently about such matters. There were then
no less than two million two hundred thousand papers
in their storehouses, which, he did not doubt, would be anxi-
ously bought by the public. It should be known that there
were offices for the sale of these papers in London at the
low rate of a halfpenny and a penny a sheet, which was
the actual cost to the Government. Mr. Hansard had an
office, Mr. Knight had another, and be understood a third
was about to be opened within one minute's walk of that
I House. If the resolution left any thing doubtful regarding

papers of the present Session, he believed the Committee
could be called together, and the doubt cleared up. And
whenever public institutions, or those of a literary nature, re-
quired documents, he was sure there ought to be every facility
afforded them in procuring them. . _

Sir ROBERT [NOUS read the resolution of the Com-
mittee on this subject.
The SPEAKER said he felt himself awkwardly situated,
and the question seemed to be whether in the matter he bad
an option or not ; but as long as he could, consistently with
his duty, do so, he would give every facility to Members in

communicating with their constituents on the business of that
House. He wished some settled rule were laid down for him
on the subject.
Mr. BERNAL thought it unnecessary to give notice of a
motion on the subject, as the Committee were to meet to-

morrow.
Mr. FIUME said as soon as Mr. Speaker called the Com-
mittee together, the matter would be settled.
SUMMARY CONVICTIONS.
Captain BEECHER moved for a return of the number of
persons committed to prison on summary convictions, by one
or more Justices in England and \Vales, for the year ending
Miphaelmas, 1835.
Mr. ROEBUCK suggested that the offences for which
they were committed should also be specified in the return
moved for by the Hon. Member.
Mr. WAKLEY thought it would be advisable also to pub-
lish the evidence on which they were convicted.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought a summary would be suf-
ficient.

AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
Mr. BENNETT presented a petition from the Centfal
Agricultural Association of England and Ireland. The As-
sociation had been established for the protection of agricul-
tural interests, and to represent their grievances to Parliament.
That was the sole object of the society. They prayed for a
full and fair investigation into the causes of the distress which
affected the agriculturists, and he trusted the House would
take the prayer of the petitioners into its consideration.

LUNATICS.---The danger of suffering lunatics to
go abroad unguarded, occurred last week in. Ross-shire.
There were two poor idiots, named " William the Pool," and
" John the Fool ;" a quarrel rose between them, and the
former struck the latter violently with a stone, in consequence
of which he died. William has since been committed to Tain
Jail.

THE WEATHEn.—Dttring the past week the wea-
ther has been extremely variable, exhibiting every variation of
temperature from the freezing point to GO deg. On Sunday
morning snow fell in large flakes, and there was to all ap-
pearance every indication of a coming storm, while at the same
time the frost was intense. During the forenoon the wind
veered to the south-west, and blew soft and fresh, when a
thaw came on, and the snow quickly disappeared. Since Sun-
day the weather had been sometimes rolgh and boisterous,
and at other times genial and mild as in the merry mouth of
May.--Kelso Chronicle.
The weather continues open here, but in the higher
districts there has been a considerable fall of snow. At Berri-
dale, in Caithness, the mail was obstructed, and the
}ow.
bagsl
brought on horseback. The regular communiciaiti
ever, again resumed. 'At Dalnacardoch, on the ;Inland road,
the snow lies deep, and travelling has been interrupted.—

At the Malschester Revising Barristers' Court on Tues-
day, the itev, Samuel Bradley, of Cannon-street Chapel, a
Dlsoopting minister, claimed a right to be on the register,
as the possessor of a freehold interest in his appointment.
Mr. Bradley was examined in support of his claim, in the
course of which he said lie could not be removed from the
appointment by the
,trustees or members of the Chapel.
One of the trustees produced the deed of trust, in which the
power of appointment and removal was vested in them, and
the claim was consequently disallowed.--Manchester He-

INSOLVENT COURT.-SATURDAY•

SLAVE COMPENSATION.—IN THE MATTER 97 MARY Oar
PORTLESS.
In this matter an important question arose. The iasol•
vent had been discharged under the Act in Septe.mber,
1834. In her schedule appeared a claim under the then
recent Act for the abolition or slavery for eight slaves, do-
miciled in the island of Demerara. On her hearing,• tw°
creditors, named Underwood and Bolton, were appointed
asiignees, and, to facilitate her discharge, she consented to
expunge from her schedule a debt of 1,0991., which she
claimed as guardian for her grown-up children, she beioi
indebted to them in that amount for property which ha°'
come into her possession as administratrix of her
late be
band, Philip Portless. The assignees, after her dis'ellat_rfel;
made a claim on the Commissioners of Compensation,7"lt
claimwas supposed to be sufficient to pay her debts.
was foiind that a counter claim had been made in Demerara',
where the claims were investigated, on her behalf for nine'
slaves, by an attorney, named Wrong, her son-in-law. irh>9
counter claim delayed the payment of the claim on the par'
of the assignees. They afterwards applied to the Court for
a further examination of the insolvent to know whether the
slaves were the same as ei:tered in her schedule, and What
right she had to the compens.ltion-money. A rule was obi
tained, and in answer it was ailleged that her children ba
made a claim for 1,0991., and that, according to the Dutch
law, they were entitled to payment before her creditor!'
They were, however, willing to come in with the creditors
and divide the compensation money par', passu. The assign
nees objected, and the children applied for wad obtained $
rule nisi for a re-hearing.
Mr. COOKE moved to make the rule absolute for are
hearing, and Mr. WOODROFFE showed cause on the part
the assignees.
It was ultimately arranged that the insolvent should sign
a paper, repudiating her claim:, and in the event of her re'
fusal a further examination to take place. The withdr3o'
of the counter claim would put the assignees in a situatio°
to receive the compensation money and pay the credit/go'

DAVIES V. TIIOBNYCROFT.

Mr. WriattAtdapeaied 1;sup;;;t----(4. demurrer which
raised a much agitated question upon the usual limitation
to the separate use of a married woman. A legacy was
left to a❑ unmarried lady to her separate use, independent
of any husband she might marry, with power of appoint-
ment. She married without dealing with the property, and
her husband became a bankrupt, and she then appointed
the fund to the plaintiff. The present bill was filed to carry
the appointment into effect, in opposition to which the as-
signees of the husband contended the property passed to
them, Subject to his wife's equity to a settlement..
.The
Learned Counsel in support of the demurrer contented
themselves with reading the present Lord Chancellor's
judgment as Master of the Rolls, i❑ the late case of
" Massy v. Parker."
Mr. KNIGHT supported the Bill.
His HONOUR, during the argument, remarked he had
always understood it was competent for any person to limit
property to the separate use of a woman, and the practice
of the profession was without variance on the subject. Al-
though it might be inferred from some expressions of the
present Lord Chancellor in Massy v. Parker that such was
not his opinion, yet that case was certainly not a decision on
the subject. He should be sorry to be thought to have the
slightest doubt on the subject ; and if he were sitting in his
chamber as a Counsel, he would not have hesitated to say
this was a perfectly good limitation to the separate use of
the lady. But he begged to be understood as taking for
the foundation of his judgment that the Lord Chancellor
had not decided otherwise.
