LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1836.

Our readers will find, in another part of The Sun,
a copy of the amendments proposed by the Tory Lords,
to be introduced into the Irish Corporation Bill.
These are for the most part as objectionable as can
well be, destructive of the efficiency of the measure,
and utterly at variance with its leading principles as
sanctioned by the House of Commons. Whether Mi-
nisters will accept such a maimed and disfigured Bill
remains to be seen, but judging from the manly and
straight-forward course they have hitherto adopted, we
should say decidedly that they will not. As brought
forward by them, the Municipal measure had for ;its
one leading object, the rendering of equal jus-
tice to all parties in Ireland ; but as amended by the
Tory Peers, this fundamental principle is, if not lost
sight of altogether, at any rate kept in the back-
ground ; for equal justice, positive injustice is sub-
stituted, by the modest proposal—so characteristic
of a true Conservative—to confiscate the property of
all the Corporations ; consequently it is impossible
that a measure " so curtailed of its fair proportions"
can be considered by the Irish people in any other
light than as a miserable begging of the question. The
original Bill went to the root of the grievance, and
supplied an efficient remedy, but the amended one is
destructive without being remedial—a legislative pa-
radox, in short, going as far beyond the mark in one
instance, as it stops short of it in another—and is evi-
dently got up for no other purpose than to embarrass
Ministers. The Times, as a matter of course, is in
raptures with it. " The amendments," says our Con-
temporary, " which have been substituted for the
original clauses of the Bill, place the whole measure
on a sound and statesmanlike footing, and will, as we
have long ago foretold, be received as an Act of Par-
liament by the Whigs, with real eagerness and affected
murmurs." This is a very CoBBETT-like prediction,
the absurdity of which a few days will, we doubt not,
make abundantly manifest. Indeed just as absurd is
it, as the notorious Tory calumny that Ministers were
about to abandon the Appropriation Clause, which
was persisted in by the organs of the faction, up to
the very moment of Government's official announce-
ment to the contrary in the House of Commons. Mi-
nilers,dvehpitate not to declare, will, at all hazards,
to'ffia4ifi. They are well aware that Ireland places
implicit reliance \tZt them, and will not belie such gene-
rous confidenc:-:,

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of most kinds of Grain last week were small, and
the Market rather tended upwards for most articles. This morn-
ing there has been again a short supply of most descriptions of
Corn. The few samples of fine Wheat that appeared obtained 2s.
per quarter more than on this day se'nnight, and other qualities
did not command a free sale at Is. per quarter advance, the weather
being now fine. Barley for all descriptions has exceeded the terms
of last Monday by ls. per quarter. Beans are also ls. per quarter
higher. Boiling Pease and Grey Pease are both scarce, and Is.
per quarter dearer. The Oat trade is not lively, but such sales as
have been effected realized Is. per quarter more than on this day
week. The supply of Flour last week was good, and the trade re-
mains as last reported, with no alteration in value.

ADVICE TO REFORMERS.

A Correspondent informs us that the following verses were
found stuck on the gate of one of the Colleges in Oxford, on
the morning after the late Convocation had shown its truly
clerical spite against Dr. Hampden :-
-

FROM THE GERMAN OF GOETHE.

TRANSLATED BY AN OXFORD STUDENT.
Quarrels have long been in vogue among sages ;
Yet though in many things wrangling and rancorous,
All the philosopher scribes of all ages,
Join una voce in one point to anchor us.
Here is the gist of their mystified pages ;
Here is the wisdom we purchase with gold—
Children of light, leave the world to its mulishness,
Things to their natures, and fools to their foolishness—
Berries were bitter in forests of old.

Hoary old Merlin, that great necromancer,
Gave me, a student, a similar answer,

When I besought him for light and for lore—
Toiler in vain I—leave the world to its mulishness,
Things to their nature, and fools to their foolishness ;

Granite was hard in the quarries of yore.

And on the ice-crested heights of Armenia,
And in the vallies of broad Abyssinia,

Still spake the ()Jade just as before—
Wouldst thou have peace ?—leave the world to its mulishness
Things to their nature, and fools to their foolishness;
Beetles were blind in the ages of yore.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the last day of Term, the Court took motions ;
but none of any public interest were brought on before our
Reporter left.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

DOBREE V. NAPIER.

In this case, which we reported a short time since, judg-
ment was given this morning. It will be recollected that this
was originally an action brought by the plaintiff against Ad-
miral Napier, to recover damages for losses sustained by him
in the seizure of the steam-vessel called the Lord of the Isles,
the said vessel having been seized and confiscated by order of
Admiral Napier, for having attempted to break through the
blockade established by him along the coast of Portugal
whilst he held the chief command in the service of the
Queen of Portugal.
The question turned upon several points, such as whe-
ther or not the blockade was effective, or whether in that
case sufficient notice of it had been given, and whether
under such circumstances, the Foreign Enlistment Act not
having been at that time suspended, Admiral Napier, being a
subject of the King of this country, could enter the service of
a foreign Prince, and make war upon his fellow-subjects, or
seize and confiscate their property. The Lord Chief Justice,
after referring to these and other points at some length, gave
judgment generally in favour of the defendant.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

In consequence of the new rule of Court for the exam;na-
tion of all applying for admission as attorneys, which comes
into operation on the Ist day of next term, a vast number have
been admitted during the present term. On Saturday there
were 85 sworn in, and to-day upwards of 50. During the
whole term the number admitted in this Court much exceeds
400.
The COURT were occupied the whole morning with motions
of no interest.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MAT 7.

The demand for Cotton on Monday was rather brisk, and a
good extent of business was done, which caused prices of American

very limited, the market flat, and purchases may be made upon
quite as good terms as on yesterday week. . Speculators have taken
1,500 bales of American, and exporters 150 of American, and 300

THE NEWSPAPER TAX.

(To the Editor of the Greenock Inteiligencer.)
Sir,—l have read with much satisfaction the letter signed,
" A Friend to Cheap Knowledge," which appeared in your
paper of Saturday last ; and beg leave to declare most dis-
tinctly, in addition to what I have already said, my entire
concurrence-in the sentiments of its author, and also in
your commentary. I did express, at the meeting I had.so
recently with the electors of Greenock, my perfect con-
viction that the stamp duty on newspapers would be cer-
tainly abolished on the sth of July next at the very latest ;
but I .agrde that we should make " assurance doubly sure,"
by loading the tables of both Houses of Parliament, at the
very commencement of the
.approaching session, with peti-
tions from every class in every quarter. And let us go fur-
ther ; let us resort, by a clear constitutional course, to as-
certain unequivocally what our representatives in Parlia-
ment will do individually in the matter. Let. the question
be put to every Member of Parlianient by his constituents,
Will you, or will you not—yea, or nayvote for the
immediate and the total removal of the stamp duty on
newspapers ?"
I myself cannot petition the, House of Commons while
a Member of it, but I can, and will, cheerfully join any
others, many or few, in addressing a letter to each of the
representatives whom I have supported, to know how they
will act.
I am a voter in the counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and
Lanark, and will be glad, how soon I can get so much good
use out of these votes as may arise from the example set to
others, regarding the removal of the most degrading and
injurious tax every inflicted on a free people—for which, be
it most especially kept in mind, there is now not even the
senaance of an excuse, for the revenue has increased, and
the Exchequer can, and must, do Without it.

As to meeting the inhabitants of Greenock, or of any
other town, village, or district, in the adjoining counties, I
am ready to do so at a moment's notice, in order to encou-
rage, aid, and assist them in the accomplishment of this
great
,moral achievement.
. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, •
Kelly, Jan. 8, 1836. ROBERT WALLACE.

The Working Classes of Greenock highly approve of the
suggestions contained in the above letter of their respected
Representative ; they do intend to make " assurance
doubly sure ;" and they earnestly solicit their fellow work-
men throughout the country to co-operate with them in
denouncing, and in demanding the TOTAL REPEAL of this,

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1836.

The French Papers of Thursday, received this
morning, bring the close of the debate of Wednesday,
and part of the discussion on Thursday, in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on the Address in. answer to the
speech of the KING on opening the Session of 1836.
By a refcreuce to the report of the early part of the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday,
published in our impression of yesterday, it will be
seen that the four first articles of the Address were
adopted without much opposition. Not so the sth,
which was the subject of an. animated discussion, and
upon which three several amendments were moved by
MM. DE MORNAY, -BIGNON, and D'HARCOURT,
each tantamount to a protest against the CZAR'S sup-
pression of Polish independence. The sth article
of the Address, as drawn up by the mouthpiece of
the Committee, M. SAUZET, ran thus:—
The first want of civilization, Sire, is peace, and we have
received with pleasure from the lips of your Majesty, the as-
surance that the state of our relations with Foreign Powers
is satisfactory. Our close alliance with Great Britain is a
further pledge for the continuance of peace. It guarantees
the recognition and inviolability of rights stipulated by treaties,
the observance of which is indispensable for the maintenance
of the balance of power in Europe."
This article being read, the Marquis de la MORNAY
ascended the tribune, and moved an amendment, to
be inserted after the first sentence ; all the words after
" satisfactory," in the original paragraph being omitted.
The article, as atnended by the Marquis, was conceived

in these word::—
" The first want c;f civilization, Sire, is peace, and we have
received with pleasure, from the lips of your Majesty, the as-
surance that the state of oui' relations with Foreign Powers is
satisfactory.
6, This felicitous harmony suggests the hope that, in con-
cert with Great Britain and the Powers whose interests are
bound up with ours, you can, Sire, re-establish the European
equilibrium, so necessary to the maintenance of peace, and that
the first pledge of it will be the preservation of the ancient
nationality of Poland, guaranteed by treaties."

Upon the article thus amended, an able debate fol-
lowed, which had the effect of unmasking the Duke
DE BROGLIE. The Temps was not misinformed
when it stated that the Duke to whom France com-
mitted the guardianship of her Foreign relations, was

FLORENCE.

(Extract of a Letter from Florence, dated Dec. 26.)
The. Government. of this country has just given a fresh
proof of its justice and liberality. Foreigners were allowed
by a law of that great reformer, Leopold 1., to buy real
property in Tuscany, but those foreigners alone were ad-
mitted to succeed to it by will or inheritance in whose
country Tuscans enAted the same privilege. This seems to
have been devised' la some enemy to counteract the bene-
volent intention of thi law. It was wholly at variance with
the justice and humanity of this country, where the confis-
cation of goods has been effaced from its penal code; to
confiscate the estate of a foreigner, under the pretext that
the Government of this nation would do-the same towards
a Tuscan in similar circumstances. When the Romans re-
quired of the Carthaginians the 'abtili4ori of human sacri-
fices, having been themselves coliVigeldviof the useless bar.-
barity of such practices, they did not say that if thQ Car-
thaginians did not consent to abolish, they wOuld continue
them. The attention of the Government here having been
respectfully called to the subject, a law has just been pro-
mulgated admitting all foreigners without diStinetion to suc-
ceed to real property in Tuscany. I hope thin country may
derive some advantage from it ; injury it can receive none ;
and the'present Grand Duke, by this act of justice, has
shown himself to be a worthy descendant of hiS great and
good ancestor. It would do honour to your' reform of
Parliament if the same system towards the property of
foreigners as is now adopted here and in France were intro-
duced into England. Sterne justly reproached France in
his time with the danger to his portmanteau in That ;country
from the Government itself, but he said nothing of the law
concerning the property of an alien in England. Franc
in the beginning of the revolution, and again in 1819, the
aua—tre—oin Mfoarous
law revived by the Code Napoleon, and Tuscany now, by
securing to every foreigner without distinction not only his
personal but real property, have gone beyond the imagina-
tion of the philanthropist, and set a 'bright example to'the
world.
London, England, 1836-01-16

DANISH CLAIMS.

By a letter received from Hull it appears that there are
numerous residents in that town interested in that class of
Danish claims which arises from the confiscation of ships
and cargoes, as distinguished from book debts, which claims
have been allowed to stand over under the late arrange-
ment, and that many of them arc in a very destitute condi-
tion. This has. not, of course, anything to do with the
merits of the case, but, as there can be no doubt of the jus-
tice of those claims, it is a strong addition for pressing some
measure for their relief on the consideration of Parliament.
The only approach to an argument against their claims has
been, that the confiscation of ships and cargoes, whether in
:port or oa the seas, was in conformity with the practice and
usage of war among European nations, which would have
.some weight, had not the British Government, by their own
act, provoked the reprisals, and become possessed by that
act of the means of indemnifying all their own subjects
who had suffered injury by it. No motive but that
could have justified their retention of the funds after the
peace. It is a very unfortunate circumstance for these
persons, that when the general jUstice of their claim was,
on their appeal to Parliament, admitted, the Ministers
then in power
,should have been" permitted to take upon
themselves the decision. of which the claims were just.
They got over the difficulty, it seems, by an appeal to
the law officers on an abStraCt qUestion which had no-
thing to do with the „point at issue. By ancient treaties
with Denmark it can be shoWrithat the British sufferers,
but for the act of their own Government, 'Might have
claimed in a case of common war six mouths' time to re-
move their ships and merchandise in safety!, and that they
might, by later conventlau.4.l.4ave claimed the neutrality
of the Baltic., The if Ttlipiherefore resolves itself into
this, the 'TreasurY havinci• lAN in hand ont-of which to
satisfy the claims—that.,-,thero .will actually.,be a profit
made by their own Government out of the losses of
British subjects, than which a more disgraceful circum-
stance can hardly be imagined. But the,session.of Parlia-
ment is now near at hand, and it is to be hoped that the
sufferigg claimants may then securely reckon, on having
justice done them. •

COMMON PLEAS.--FRIDAY.

LEVY V. WALLHOUSE.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS was instructed to make an tip-
; plication to the Court in this case, under circumstances of
, an extraordiaary nature. The application was grounded
upon an affidavit made by the defendant, a youtiggentleinan
whose friends were highly respectable, and in which affi-
davit it was stated that defendant a short time since, for
the first time in his life, visited the metropolis, and took
• up his residence at an hotel at the west end of the town.
That on Tuesday, the 7th of January inst. (having then
been in town only a fortnight), he was arrested at the said
hotel for a sum of 1201., alleged to be due to one Emanuel
Levy. The caption was made by an officer of the Sheriff,
whose name was also Levy. The defendant on being ar-
rested requested the officer to accompany him to a house in
Regent-street, the lower port of which was used as a to-
bacconist's shop, but the upper part was used as a gaming-
house, where he expected to meet a friend, who would ex-
tricate him from the disagreeable situation in which he
found himself placed, and prevent the affair from coming
to the knowledge of his friends. The officer accordingly
accompanied hula to the gaming-room, where ha met his
friend and another person, and on his stating the
.circum-
stance in which he was placed the friend promised to ren-
der him every assistance in his power, and went out for a
short time. He returned, when another person, who w•-:‘,
advisedrepre
represented as
to
gailoa solicitor,bill o
introduced,trvaesxcitoogofor t
la!,2edtfor
hP
amount parties
which he was arrested, and as a further Security to sign a
warrant of attorney. He was asked what money he had
about him, and replied only s',i and was told that would
only cover the officer's feet, .
He gave that sum, and con-
sented to accept a uill Par 1251., drawn by one of the par-
ties present, and also to signn-a warrant of attorney for the
same amount, the extra 51. being for costs. Upon com-
plying with these conditions he was discharged from cus-
tody. The defendant swore that he did not know a per-
son named Levy, nor was he indebted to any person. of that
name in the sum of 1207., or any other sum. After read-
ing this affidavit, the Learned Counsel said his application
to the Court was to grant a rule, calling upon the plaintiff
to show cause why he should not bring into Court the war-
rant of attorney, for the purpose of its being'caneelled.
The CHIEF JUSTICE —You may take a rule, calling upon
the plaintiff to shew cause why he should not bring the
warrant of attorney into this Court for the purpose of its
being cancelled, and why service upon his attorney should
not be deemed toed service.
Mr. Justice PARKE—Serve the rule upon the attorney,
and the Court will compel him to state by whom he was
employed to arrest the defendant.
The Court afterwards heard several motions for new
trials, none of which were of any public interest.

STEAM NAVIGATION

MR. SAMUEL HALL requests the favour of
the inspection by Engineers and others .of his Patent
Steam Engines, aboard the Hercules steam-vessel of 180-horse
power, possessing the following advantages :-Ist, The supply of
pure instead of salt or dirty water for the boilers. 2nd, The in-
creased durability of the boilers, which last a much greater number
of years, owing to their not being subjected to the corrosive action
of hot salt water, nor to the injurious incrustations occasioned.
thereby. 3rd, A very great saving of fuel. 4th, A very impor-
tant increase of power, particularly in stormy weather, when it is
most required. sth, Much greater safety, owing to the circum-
stance that the regular and accurate supply of water to the boilers,
and of the injection water, (which is done away with,) are no
longer dependent upon the carefulness of the engineer.
Besides the above advantages, many collateral and important ones
are obtained, which require too long an explanation to be given
here, but•sketches of the Engines, with further ample informa-
tion and testimonials, may be had on application to the Patentee,
No. 147, Strand, London, or Basford, near Nottingham.
The Hercules, which belongs to the St. George Steam Packet
Company, is put on the station from 'London to C ork, touching at
Plymouth.
N. B. The improvements are equally applicable to land en-
gines as to engines for, marine purposes, and to old engines as
well as to new ones.
