[NEW TIMES.-1

Our itiformatio;„ as to the intention of the
Erenoh Government to recognise the independ-
ence of Ilayti, is confirmed by an article in the
Qiffotidienne, the writer of which seems to men-
do() it by way of accusation against M. De Vit.
In)e-. Whethi,r the motives of the French Minis-
teforthis act he morally good or bad, it is quite
impossible for us to ascertain ; but we can easily
determine that the policy of such a measure is
Wise in itself. Surely the writer in the Quoti-
dienne will admit that it is a more enlightened,
it more Jost, and a more beneficial proceeding
than that of l3nonaparte, who threw away
nearly : forty, thousand French soldiers,. and
many millions of French money, in a treacher.'
.ous -attempt to enslave the enfranchised Hay-
tians. Up to .that period they bad remained
atitached. to France ; but the wicked act of that
t(vicked,.man broke the bond of their subjec-
.. -tiOn for ever. For the last two and twenty years
they. have looked on France as •their natural
enemy, owing to the perfidy of Buonaparte.--
- lienceforytard. they, will regard that country as
At friend and ally, owing to the enlightened policy
of. Charles •X. This. step, too, will be, produc-
tive.of essential .benefit to a class of individuals
deserving .greaccommiseratiou.--r-we.mean the de-
spoiled and exiled colonists, many of whurn, from
stations of the greatest afflu,ence, have ,been
rreduced• to• .extreme . penury. It cannot be
supposed, that. they. will recover anything like
their whole, ixroperty,--indeed we know one
. single mercantile house in the City .of . London
which.,has.powers of attorney. to claim not less
than 45;000,000•. of francs—but though the:in-
detnnification should fall. very far• short. of-,the

• .ptuprietors, to a• state. of comfort,. and, gild. their:
declining days with .a - prosperity. whiciF. tit
.ope
time they little expected to attain. The Quoti-
dienne connects the recognition of Hayti with

that of the new States in South America. The
cases differ considerably; and we may well be-
lieve that the King of France will not be very
eager to offend his relative Ferdinand by a mea-
sure so unpalateable to the latter ; but the step
must be eventually taken, and no doubt the- ac-
knowledgment of Haytian independence is a pre-
cursor of South American.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The subject of leading interest in the Paris
Papers which arrived night is the intended re-
cognition of the independence of Hayti by the
French Government. The Ministerial Journals
couple this measure with another of great import-
ance, viz. the appointment of French Consuls in
the new States on the American Continent. There
has long been reason to expect that the French
Government would enter upon the wise course
which these measures indicate. We bail with the
warmest feelings of unmixed pleasure the prospects
of close and continued amity which this assimila-
tion of policy opens to the two greatest nations on
the face of the globe.T he ultra-royalists are already
endeavouring to raise an outcry against M. de
Villele for sacrificing the " principles of legi-
timacy " to the " sordid interests of trade ;" but
that Minister has proved that he possesses too
much firmness to be driven from his purpose by
the antiquated nonsense of the emigrants, who
rail at every approach to a sound commercial
system, by stigmatising it as a submission to the
" too powerful influence of Great Britain." 1t
is very pointedly remarked, that Spain, which ad-
heres strictly to the " principles of legitimacy," is
dyingof hunger,whileEngland is surfeited with ex-
cess of wealth. The private letters we have received
from Paris state, that the indemnity to be paid
by the Ilaytians will amount to 150 millions
of francs, of which sixty millions are to be
paid immediately in specie, and the remaining
ninety millions to be remitted in coffee and sugar,
in the period of five years from the ratification
of the treaty. We understand that a French
Merc.antile Association has agreed to advance
this sum immediately by the Government on the
security of the future consignments of produce
from Hayti. The Bank of France will enable
this Association to make this offer to Monsieur de
Villele. It is said that the Minister Will apply
this sum in aid of his plan to the reduction of
the Rentes. The Etoile of Sunday discusses that
subject at great length, and confidently predicts
success in the undertaking.

CORN EXCHANGE, ISIAT 15.

The supplies of all sorts of grain last week were large. This
morning there are not many samples of Wheat, Barley, and
Beans, fresh at market, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk,
and only a few vessels up from the North. Our Millers
manifest very little inclination to purchase Wheat to-day,
and the trade is therefore so very dull that only the finest
samples have obtained the terms of last Monday; Barley
has no variation in value since this day se'nnight. Beans
find buyers at full as good prices as last quoted. In
Barley and Grey Peas there is no alteration. There are
good quantities of Oats here for sale, and our buyers pur-
chased them on much the same terms as last Monday. The
Flour trade remains extremely dull, but prices are unaltered.
ARRIVALS LAST WEEK.—English Wheat, 13,335 ; Bar-
ley, 4,458 ; Malt, 7,390 ; Oats, 24,860 ; Beans, 2,195 ;

ROWING MATCH. •
Yesterday, a New Prize Wherry, given by the Members of
the Shark Cutter Club, was rowed for by seven pair of sculls.
The match was between the following picked watennen
Names. Colours. Plying Places.
C. Westwood . Orange - Whitehall
J. Castles - . Green - Waterloo Bridge
J. Farlow . - Blue - Whitehall
P. Walker kicarlett - Lambeth

Becket . Yellow - Itungerford
G. Maynard - Pink - _Lambeth

G. Jones • - Purple . Bankside.
The Men were to start from Westminster Bridge, and pull with
the tide through the centre arch of Putney Bridge. The
weather being delightful, the lovers of river sport made a good
muster—we have seldom seen more boats collected upon a si-
milar occasion. As the watermen were all good ,owers, a fine
display was expected, and bets to a considerable amount were
made on the winner. Westwood, who has won several boats
and established his name, was the favourite. Castles is a power-
ful man, formed for gymnastics, and many supposed his
strength would give him advantage over the others. :llaynard
also was one upon whom great reliance was placed. The Gentle-
men who gave the Prize, dashed about in their eight-oared
cutter, and the scene of boats passing and repassing in rapid
succession was interesting. At half-past five o'clazk, the men
started, and running with the tide in shore on the Westminster
side, found themselves close together; some confusion ensued,
but getting clear, they darted, swift as arrows, along Millbank.
Westwood took the lead some distance; at Vauxhall, Jones
went first through the Bridge, followed by Maynard and
Castles. The race then became admirable, and, after a most
arduous and active contest, the prize was gained by George
Maynard of Lambeth. He was followed by Jones, Westwood,
and Castles. The match was the beet seen upon the Thames
during many years.

ARCHERY.

On Thursday last, the Bowmen of Walton-le-Dale held
their first meeting this season, to shoot for the several prizes
presented to them by the respective Lady Patronesses, in the
years 1821, 1822, and 1823. The weather being remarkably
fine, a very numerous assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen
attended, as spectators of the amusement. After a severe con-
test, and some excellent shooting, the Silver Bugle was won by
Mr. John Fletcher (Captain of Numbers); the Golden Arrow
by the Rev. E. S. Radcliffe, for the best hit in the gold ; and
the Silver Arrow by Mr. Charles Swainson, jun., for the first
hit in the gold. The shooting was at ninety, sixty, and thirty
yards, fifteen ends at each distance. There were upwards of
twenty hits in the gold., and the number counted by Mr.
Fletcher was one hundred and seventy-four. The targets at
sixty and ninety yards were• four feet diameter, and at thirty
yards, twenty inches. The number of competitors were eleven.

Rossixi, the great composer, has been se.
riously indisposed at Paris singe last Saturday.
It was expected, however, that no serious result
would ensue. On Tuesday, Madame PASTA Was

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO. MURDER A FEMALE.
—This morning a Chelsea pensioner, named
James Gurey,-was brought before the Magistrates
of Queen-square Office, charged with having
made a most desperate attack on the .life 'of a
woman named Elizabeth Simmonds, whose death
is hourly expected. It appears that the igot--
tunate woman, who lives near the Duke of York's
School at Chelsea, had for some time lived on
terms of intimacy with the prisoner, and latterly
she provided his meals for him. Yesterday
afternoon he went home, at the hour he
usually dined, and dinner not being quite
ready, he, without saying a word, attacked
the poor woman in the most savage man-
ner; he first struck her head so violently against
the post. of the bedstead as to cause her to bleed
from her mouth and nostrils, and whilst in
this wretched state the ruffian caught her
by the legs and dashed her head, with all
his might, against the ground, and left her
lying on the floor for dead. Some neighbours
hearing the groans of his victim, went into
the room and found her in the state above
described, and weltering in her blood. A surgeon
was instantly called in, and the injured woman was
put to bed, and proper applications used to her
wounds, at from the medical gentlemans' certifi-
cate it seems that she is in a most dangerous situa-
tion, and tier removal at present would be highly
dangerous. The prisoner, who seemed quite
unmoved at the crime alleged against him, said
nothing in his own defence, and he was remanded
till the fate of the unfortunate woman is known.

Sophia, and performed it in a very interes,tiu.4
manner. Mrs. GLOVER, who is sliding gradually
into the characters of elderly Ladies, was excel-
lent in the Widow Warren. RUSSELL bustled, :
through Goldfinch with great spirit. The comedy
altogether was supported in a manner creditable-

IRISH EVANGELICAL SOCIETY.-This Society
met numerously last evening at the City of London Tavern
THOMAS WALKER, Esq. in the Chair. Among the com-
pany, which consisted chiefly of ladies, we noticed several
distinguished members of the Clergy. The Report stated,
that during the last year the Society had gone to considerable
expence in the publication of Religious Tracts, B;.c. which had
been industriously circulated amongst the Irish pe6ple, who
received them with eagerness, and read them with enthusiasm.
The speeches made in support of the object were long and elo-

hour, made a handsome collection at the door.

ARCHERS' COURT, Nov. 19.

The Court was occupied all day with the pleadings in a
cause appealed from the Consistory Court of the Bishop of
Exeter, entitled " The office of the judge promoted by %V olli-
combe against Aldridge," regarding the possessory right of cer-
tain parties, by a prescription of some years, to a particular pew
in a village in Devonshire. Application was made to the
Chancellor of the diocess, by Mrs. Wollicombe, for the-g:ant
of a faculty empowering her to take and occupy seats in the
pew in question, on the ground of possessing certain property
in the heighbourhood, which she conceived gave her a ttle to
claim such accommodation.
The Judge of the Court below refused the faculty, rnd de-
creed, as against the applicant, Wt. in 'tontine expcn.curum.
From this sentence an appeal was asserted to his Grace's
Court. The facts of the case, as detailed to-day by Counsel.
possessed not the remotest degree of general interest; but it
appeared that the possessor of the estate, in the owners of which
the legal right of the pew (wherein the other party claimed a
possessory right) was conceived to exist, did not possess the
mansion, or any residence upon such estate.
Sir JOHN Nrcur) et. rejected the appeal, and remitted the
principal cause to the 'ourt below; the Learned Judge observ-
it;g, in the cause of his sentence, that it had been determined
by high law authorities, that the rights of pew attached to
houses, and not to lands.

LONDON MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 21.
Last week's supplies of Grain in general were tolerably good.
This morning the fresh supplies of Wheat, from Essex, Kent,
and Suffolk, are pretty fair, and of other kinds of Corn there is
not much fresh up. Wheat of select quality finds buyers at
last week's terms; all other kinds are excessively heavy, and
2s. per qr. cheaper. Barley for malting is Is. per qr. dearer ;
but grinding samples are reduced 3s. per quarter, owing to the
foreign parcels being liberated. Beans remain as last quoted.
Peas of both sorts are without variation. There are not many
Oats fresh up, and this trade is lively, at rather better terms
than last quoted. The plain trade has become very dull.

DISASTROUS FIRE.—Some evenings since a
fire broke out from the stables of Mr. Seabrooke, the pro.
prietor of a respectable inn, at the village of Dagenham, Essex.
The consequences which followed it were not alone disastrous,
but melancholy. Five valuble horses were lost in the confla-
gration. Their cries, while suffering under the.flames, were
pitiable in the extreme ; every exertion was made to rescue
them from the fiery element, but without effect. During its
continuance the shrieks which broke forth from the wretched
animals were of the most terrific nature, but the roof having
fallen in, the entire was reduced to a complete cinder. Several
causes have been assigned for the origin of this calamity.._.
Among the most prevalent is, that some travellers from London
having stopped there, while some refreshment was preparing,
went into the stable, where, having made up their horses,
they left the candle and returned into the house. The opinion
is, that the flame of the candle communicated with some
straw, and that in consequence the entire place became en-
veloped in flames.

By WILLIAM UPCOTT, of the LontiOn Institution.
The Miscellaneous Writings of the Philosopher and Na-
turalist Evelyn (most of which are extremely rare) are here
presented to the public in a quarto volume, to range with his

peared) comprise the whole body of Evelyn's productions.—
The tracts forming the present volume are, more or less, on
subjects of great interest, including lively pictures of the man-
ners and amusements of his time; Memoirs, political, do-
mestic, and religious; Treatises on Morals, Horticulture, Art,
Science, Commerce, &c. ; in all of which the sound intellect
of this " amiable anti highminded English Gentleman will be
traced.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 19.

MUNN V. GODBOLD.
This was an action tried some short time back at Guildhall_
The plaintiff and defendant had entered into a speculation tor
the disposal, in France, of some quack medicines belonging
to the defendant. Plaintiff advanced a sum of money, 3101.
(we believe) on account of the medicines; but, somehow, the
speculation failed, and the medicines not being disposed of,
plaintiff claimed his money. This the defendant refused to
refund, and the action was in consequence brought. At the
trial, it appeared that a contract, in writing, had been entered
into between the parties. Of this each party kept a counter-
part, or duplicate, signed by the other. The one which plain-
tiff had, he got stamped, but he committed,it to the care of a
friend, by whom it was lost. The part in the hands of the
defendant was unstamped. The plaintiff, not being in a con-
dition to produce the duplicate which had been given to him,
called the attorney by whom the contracts were drawn, who
proved the original draught of which each was an exact copy.
The defendant's Counsel objected to this, and contended,
that the part in his hands was the only evidence of a contract
which could be referred to, and that that being unstamped, it
was insufficient to maintain the action, and therefore that
plaintiff should be nonsuited. This objection was over-ruled
by Lord Chief Justice Best, and a verdict was taken for the
plaintiff for the money advanced.
In the present term a rule nisi was obtained, to set the verdict
aside and enter a nonsuit.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE this day showed cause against the rule
and contented that a nonsuit ought to have been entered.
Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUIT contended at somelength in sup-
port of the verdict, and the Court were of opinion, that the ob-
jection taken at the trial had been properly overruled, and that
the verdict for the plaintiff ought to stand.—Rule discharged.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 19.
TILE BAR.

In the course of the week, a cause affecting some small mat-
ter in the accounts of a bankluptcy had been called on, and the
Counsel did not appear. It seems that the Loup CHANCEL--
Loa, addressing himself in a mild tone of voice, which was
just audible to the Iteristrar, who sits close to him, and to
whom it was addressed, directed him to take a minute of the
fact that the case had been called on for several days going,
-and no Counsel had appeared. At the sitting of the Court, Mr.
11,), N E, who was the Counsel next in order to be heard, after
apologising for the trouble he was about to give the Court, re-
quested the opportunity to justify himself. So far from beity,
absent, he had on every morning that the cause was adjourned
and set down for hearing, been present, and had been most
anxious for the opportunity of reply, the delay of which had
occasioned him great inconvenience. But the Court had been
please, from motives which it was not for him to question, to
let in other matters for hearing, among which he would men-
tionDcvaynes and Noble," which had, on four
superseded his reply.

disowned, with obvious anxiety,
any intention of reflecting in the slightest degree upon the
Learned Gentleman, or any other Counsel at the bar. Ile was
ready to take all the blame of the delay upon himself. Ile
might have been in fault, and he alone, in allowing other mat-
ters to be heard first. Ile had no other Motive in the observa-'
den which he made to the Registrar, than to direct him to make

an entry by which he might know at any future time the reason
why the argument on the case had not been conduded.
Mr. flonNE was then heard out to the conclusion of his
reply,
EXPARTE GRIMSTEAD, IN THE MATTER OF !COWART/
London, England, 1825-11-21

RICARDO 1141UCIIADO.

This was a rule obtained by Mr. G ITILN EY, calling on the
plaintiff to shew cause why the defendant, arrested at his suit
for 100,0001., money had and received, should not be discharged
out of custody on filing common bail. The grounds of the ap-
plication were, first, that the affidavit of debt was sworn before
the British Consul at Cadiz, whose authority to administer
oaths was doubtful; and second, that the sum was described
merely as " sterling," which might apply to Irish as well as to
English currency.
Mr. SCAR LETT and Mr. F. POLLOCK now chewed cause
against this rule. As to the first objection, they produced the
late statute, 6 Geo. IV., regulating the powers ot' Consuls, and
which gives, in direct terms, authority to British consuls to ad-
minister oaths. As to the second objection, they contended
that the plain and obvious meaning of the words " 100,0001.
sterling," was English money, and that a court of justice were
not to search for possible constructions in order to vary the plain
intent of terms. They also submitted that, as the defendant
had been arrested on the order of the Lord Chief Justice, the
ordinary technicalities did not apply to a case where a discretion-
ary power had been exerted.
Mr. GURNEY had begun to support his rule, when
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE intimated that the other
Judges were waiting for the Court to assist in the decision of
Crown cases reserved ; and therefore that the discussion must
be postponed till another day.
The Court then rose soon after two o'clock.
