This morning, at twelve o'clock, their Majesties took a
drive in a carriage and four, preceded by outriders. li!r
Majesty has not been out till this day since she arrived in
Brighton. A slight cold was, we understand, the cause of
her Majesty's seclusion. It began to rain at two o'clock:
this afternoon, and has continued ever since, which pre-.
vented the King from taking his usual drive this afternoon.

" FAL➢IOUTH, Nov. 3.—The Eclipse has arrived to-day
from Mexico, in 53 days from Vera Cruz, and 34 from Ha-
vannah. When she left, the Mexicans were preparing an
army of 20,000 men to go against the Texians. The Texians
had liberated St. Anna ; he was on board the steam packet,
and about to sail for Vera Cruz, but about 150 Kentucky men
went on board, and obliged him to go on shore as a prisoner.
He offered two millions of dollars to let him go free ; but that
was refused. The above vessel has brought to England about
560,000 dollars on merchants' accounts, and three passengers."

FAME."—Price, the clown at the equestrian ex-
hibition in Brighton, lately threw thirty-one summersets in
succession ; his brother performers have in consequence,
presented him with a silver snuff-box. The inscription, we
are told, bears testimony to his private and public virtues,
as a man and as a surnmorset-thrower. It is to be ob-
served, however, that his brother performers have known
him more than a week.

Lord Castlereagh and Lord Fitzharris have returned

with grouse, black cock, and ptarmigan, but wild deer. It
was formerly occupied by the late lamented Sir Harry
Goodricke.

POTSI V. SHIPTON AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Sergeant AITCHERLEY moved in this case, by leave
of the Learned Judge, for a rule to shew cause why the
verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a nonsuit
entered. It was an action on the case tried at Liverpool,
before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. The action was brought
by an Italian residing there, and the declaration stated the
delivery to the defendants of a certain box or package con-
taining a looking-glass, to be conveyed by them from Liver-
pool to Birmingham, for a certain reasonable reward in that
behalf. It was an action on the case founded substantially
upon a contract between plaintiff and the two defendants.
On the trial it appeared that one of the defendants had no-
thing to do with the matter, and the verdict was for him.
The Learned Counsel proceeded to contend that where the
cause of action is a contract between two parties, all the in-
cidents and averments must follow, otherwise the action
cannot be maintained. In the present case the plea in the
declaration was negatived by the fact of one of the defen-
dants having no connexion with the business. Several au-
thorities were cited in support of this view of the case.
Lord DENMAN—In what did the negligence consist ?
Mr. Sergeant AITCHERLY—The negligence was alleged
to be this—that the looking-glass was delivered to a person
said to be the agent of the defendants, having boats plying
upon a canal between Liverpool and Birmingham, and that
while on its way from the former to the latter place, it re-
ceived an injury by which the glass was broken.

Baron (Lord Lyndhurst) was not content with destroying
the elder offspring, but he must imbrue his hands in the
blood of the infant. He was a cruel tyrant, who, after de-
molishing all that came before him, diverted himself by kill-
ing a fly. Like Richard the Second, he might soliloquize--
not upon the fate of Kings—but on the fate of Bills. Some
by speaking slew, some killed in Committee--all murdered !
Within the circle of the Noble and Learned Baron kept
" Death his Court," until he at last
" And with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and—farewell BILL."
He was at a loss to understand why the Noble and Learned
Baron would not vote against the second reading, but de'
ferred his opposition until the Bill came into Committee, SC',
that he might re-model it. They knew well the nature or
that re-modelling.
Lord LYNDHURST—There is no pleasing the Noble
Baron. Oppose it on its second reading, or oppose it i 1
Committee, it was equally the same. The Bill consisted of
but a single page, and his object was to make it palateable
to the country, and not to disgust it by commencing with a
libellous preamble against individuals.
Lord HOLLAND explained.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH did not object to the °sten'
tensible purpose of the Bill, but he objected to the details,
which he thought might be altered in Committee.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Messengers from the Commons brought up the Jewish
Disabilities Bill, the Pension Duties Bill, the Tithe Sus-
pension Bill, and the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) Bill'
which were severally read a first time.
COMMON FIELDS INCLOSURE BILL.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH brought up the report of
Common Fields Inclosure Bill.
Lord HOLLAND proposed a clause for the purpose of
retaining, for public recreation, a space of meadow or pasture
land, not further distant than one mile from the centre of all
towns or boroughs containing 5,000 inhabitants.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH agreed to the clause, no
expressed his indignation at the utter want of concern s°
constantly exhibited for the recreations of the people.
The report was then received, and the Bill ordered to
be read a third time to-morrow (this day.)—Adjourned.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 25, at
Twelve, in Four Lots,
AVALUABLE and exceedingly compact FREE-
HOLD ESTATE. It is situate at Welney, in
THE COUNTY OF NORFOLK,
BORDERING ON CAMBRIDGESHIRE,
and at a convenient distance from some of the

BEST MARKETS IN ENGLAND,
including Lynn and Cambridge. It consists of a Cottage, Farm-
house in excellent order, with farm-buildings, granary, and a
superior abode for the manager, good gardens, and

296 A. 2R. 33r. of
EXCEEDINGLY PRODUCTIVE PASTURE LAND,
with a fair proportion of Arable, lying entirely within a ring-fence,
on Lease to an old and respectable tenant, Mr. Briggs, for a period
of Seven Years, from 1833, at a
CLEAR ANNUAL RENTAL OF

THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS A YEAR,
and which (it may be said advisedly) is infinitely too little. The
soil is a combination of silt, peat, and clay ; there are osier grounds
for preserves, a tunnel admitting fresh water from the river at all
convenient times : it is contiguous to the high-road from Bury St.
Edmund's, and there is a contemplated Railway to pass through
the property. The produce from the barns is shipped at an incon-

cellent dining-room and library, stone staircase to the bed-cham-
bers and entrance hall, bath-room and dressing-room. The domestic

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

WEDNESDAY.-EIGHTH AND LAST DAY.
In this protracted inquiry, which was brought to a close
yesterday, the Jury, after remaining in consultation about
twenty minutes, returned into Court, and the foreman deli-
vered the following verdict :—" It is the unanimous opini°ll
of all the gentlemen of the Jury, that the Hon. Anna
Maria Fitzmaurice, commonly called ViscountessKirkwall,
is of unsound mind, and is incapable of managing horse;
and her affairs, and that she has been so since the 25th of
December, 1831."

The inquisition was then signed by the Jury, and the pro'
ceedings terminated.
Lady Kirkwall shortly after left the room, in company °l'
the King's Bench officer, and proceeded in her carriage t°
her residence.

It has been calculated that the daily expenses of the pro-
ceedings during the eight days that they have been under
consideration, was 200 guineas per day. Mr. Thessiger re-
ceived with his brief a fee of 100 guineas ; Mr. Ellison and
Mr. Whateley 60 guineas each, in addition to which Mr'
Thessiger received 20 guineas per day and other counsel I°
guineas each. The Commissioners received 5 guineas per
day, the Jury 1 guinea per day ; the physicians 10 guineas
per day, and 5 guineas per day was paid for the use of the
room in which the inquiry was held. Upwards of 30 wit:
nesses were subpoenaed in support of the Commission, b°'
between 40 and 50 attended. Dr. Spurzeim, Dr. Bright:
and Dr. Herbert, visited Lady Kirkwall, at the request of
Mr. Edwards, but they were not examined. Mr. Sergeant
Talfourd received with his brief 100 guineas, and 20 pi'
neas per day ; Mr. Miller 50 guineas, and 10 guineas per
day. Mr. Sergeant Wilde was applied to in the first io"'
stance to undertake the case, but he refused to do s° for
less than 1,000 guineas.

the 17th day of February, 1836,
Resolved—That the sum of Two Hundred and Ten Pounds be
subscribed from the City's Funds, in aid of the Subscription now in
progress for the Relief of the Suffering Protestant Clergy in Ire-
land;; and that the Court, in making this grant, considers it expe-
dient to record the expression of its regret that, by the effectual re-.
sistance hitherto opposed by one branch of the Legislature to mea-
sures calculated to tranquilize Ireland, by removing from the pay-
ment, of tithes much of the occasion of vexation, animosity, and
violence, any portion of the Protestant Clergy of that part of the
Empire should be placed under the necessity of appealing to private
benevolence.

SKETCHES BY ~BOZ;',
With numerous illustrations by GEORGE CRUIK SHANK.
" Evidently the work of a person of various and extraor-
dinary intellectual gifts. He is a close observer of character
and manners, with a strong sense of the ridiculous and a graphic
faculty of placing in the most whimsical and amusing lights the
follies and absurdities of human nature. He has the power too, of
producing tears as well as laughter. His pictures of the vices and
wretchedness which abound in this vast city, are sufficient to strike
to the heart of the most careless and insensible reader. The book
is richly illustrated by the modern Hogarth, George Cruikshank,
who has evidently surpassed any of his previous efforts."—Morning

MEETING OF THE REFORMERS

AT YORK.

One of the greatest assemblages of Reformers ever wit-
nessed in York, took place in Sampson's-square, in that
city, on Monday evening last, to hear their late unsuccessful
candidate, C. F. Barkley, Esq., deliver his sentiments on
the investigation which took place, during the last Session
of Parliament, on the corrupt state of the representation of
that city. The Hon. Gentleman, to an assemblage of
several thousands, exposed the Tory falsehoods made on
the occasion, and held the tools of corruption up to their
well-merited obloquy.

A second meeting took place on Tuesday evening, when
the Learned Gentlemen, amidst torrents of rain, was again
listened to with the greatest attention. He pledged him-
self, that if only 50 of his former supporters pledged them-
selves to fight the battle of Reform with him, at the next
election, he should be found at his post. Neither his time,
trouble, nor money (so far as purity of election would justify
him) should deter him. His intention was to war the wars
of battle again and again, until the principles of Reform
should prove victorious.
After" Three times three" hearty cheers for his Majesty
and his Ministers, " Three cheers" for Mr. Barkley, Mr.
O'Connell, Mr. Hume, &c., and Reform, the assemblage
separated.

VICE-CHANCERY-WEDNESDAY.

WATSON V. WARTON.

Mr. KNIGHT appeared for the plaintiff in this cause.
The bill sought to have a contract for the purchase of a
lease rescinded, and the agreement delivered up to be can-
celled. In 1832 the defendant agreed to grant the plaintiff
a lease of a house and fixtures and some land, in the parish
of Hendon, Middlesex, for the life of a person of the name
of Franks, who was then eighty years of age. The plaintiff
entered into possession accordingly, and continued to hold
the property until the death of Franks in 1834, when he re-
moved the fixtures ; but during all this time lie never paid
the defendant any rent. A great deal of petty litigation took
place between the parties, till at length the present bill was
filed for rescinding the contract on two grounds—of misde-
scription and defect of title.

Mr. BEANIES appeared for the defendant.
His HONOUR entirely acquitted the defendant of any wil-
ful misrepresentation on the subject of the measurement ;
but on the question of costs, he thought the defendant's pro-
posals were not sufficiently extensive to save him from fur-
ther costs. He must, therefore, pay the costs of the suit.
But•as it was right the plaintiff should do equity, he must
pay a❑ occupation rent for the time of his possession,
and also the value of the fixtures he had removed, to be
determined by the Master, if the parties should unfortu-
nately continue to differ.

COCKERYIOUT II ELECTION•

RETURN OF MR. HORSMAN.

In consequence of the retirement of F. L. B. Dyke!,
Esq., from the representation of Cockermotith, two candi-
dates appeared in the field—Edward Horsman, Esq., of
Edinburgh, and Richard Moorsom, Esq., of Airey Hill.
near Whitby. Mr. Moorsom finding his prospects of success
not so encouraging as his friends wished, retired from the
contest on Wednesday. Mr. Horsman having been pro-
posed and seconded, and no other candidate appearing, that
gentleman was accordingly declared duly elected.
Mr. Hors aan then addressed the electors and non-elec-
tors of the borough, at great length. His speech seems
to stamp him as a man of the movement—as an accession
to those Hon. and truly useful Members who, belonging to
the party of the people, recognize no limit to Reform, short
of that which will permanently secure the greatest number
of men the largest amount of happiness.
