NEWLAND V. CLIFF.

Mr. CAMPBELL obtained a rule to shew cause why the
writ of Teri facias in this case should not be quashed, on
the ground that the return was made by one Jarvis Thomas,
as bailiff of the liberty of Gower, when in fact the Duke
of Beaufort held that dignity.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

THE KING V. WAKLEY AND OTHERS.
The case, in opposition to the rule which was obtained
last Term by the College of Surgeons against Mr. Waleley,
Mr. King, and two others, for a disturbance in the theatre
of their Institution, having been concluded last night, the
reply was this morning opened by
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was very anxious to
put the Court in possession of the real facts of the case—
his Learned Friends last night had kept out of view some
very important facts, one of which was of great conse-
quence, viz. the calling of the meeting by Mr. Wak'ey in
the Lancet, and another fact of some importance was the
publication of a report of the disturbance which had also
appeared in the Lancet. Mr. Campbell had stated
that he knew from the fact of his Majesty having been so
great an ornament to the navy, he never would have
given an order to exclude such a respectable portion of it
as the surgeons were, from his levees; but his Learned
Friend seemed to forget, that any order to exclude any
person or body from a Royal levee, must proceed from the
Sovereign himself. The Learned Attorney-General then
proceeded to read portions of the Lancet, which applied
to the case in question, and commented very strongly upon
an article published a week previous to the disturbance,
calling upon the profession to resist the innovation of a
" desperate, dark-minded oligarchy," and to dis-
cuss the necessity of an address to his Majesty
on the exclusion of the naval surgeons from the
Levee. The article alleged that the theatre of
the Co:lege of Surgeons was the property of the members
in general, and stated that the Editor of the Lancet
would, if well, be there to discuss the subject in question,
adding, that although the President and Council had the
power to make bye-laws, they had never made any that
would preclude the profession from discussing any thing

which affected their interests. The Learned Gentleman
contended, that there were few members of the profession
no bye-laws against cock-lighting or boxing, and
Theyan op
then, on the same princip'e, they might insist

on exhibiting these disgraceful amusements.—The

THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Sydney Papers to the 15th December have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house,
but they are not of great interest.

The heat at Sydney, on Saturday, Sunday, and yester-
day, was more oppressive than had been experienced dur-
ing the present summer.

THE linatvxsT.—During these last few days accounts
have been received from all parts of the colony of the most
gratifying nature respecting the crops.
The late awful example made of the ten bushrangers at
Bathurst, appears to have produced considerable effect upon
tie minds of the prison population in that district.
The Tasnicazian states that, amongst the measures of
economy in this colony adopted by Ministers, the office of
Sheriff is to be abolished.

We have to announce the death of his aboriginal Ma-
jesty, King Boongarie, supreme chief of the Sydney tribe,
after an illnt ss of several months.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 23.—There has been a fair demand
this week for British Plintition (Sugar, the sales amount-
ing to 1,000 hhds. at steady rates.

There was a fair demand for Cotton in the early part of
the week, and rather better prices were obtained ; but
within the last few days there has been less doing, end the
advance has not been maintained.

The Indigo sales on Thursday were not well attended,
but went off upon the whole as well as could have been
anticipateJ.

THE FUNDS.

To-morrow being settling day in the Consul Market,
the brokers are chiefly occupied this morning in making
up their accounts, consequently little business doing at
present. Consols, which left off yesterday:at S 3 for the
Account opened at 83i-, and soon after receded to 83t-;
at present they may be quoted at S3l.
We hear the Dutch steamer has arrived; letters and
paler; not as yet come to hand.

- In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.
We have seen the Dutch papers of yesterday, which
bring dates of the 17th from Berlin, but they do not com-
municate the least intelligence from Poland. They are
filed with the correspondence between General Chasse
and general Billiard in regard to the affairs of Antwerp.
We do not hear of any further information from Paris.
It is supposed that Monday was a holiday.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning
at 133 - for the Account, have since improved to 83k, and
at present may be quoted Oft ; for next time 83i both
stock and Moue), are scarce.

In the Foreign Market scarce a bargain doing.

Consols, 83k,

There is a strange story extant of a certain
Illustrious Personage, celebrated for the silvery hue of his
mustaches, and his determined dislike -of reformation,
having lately become a very diligent " tract-distributer,"
among the lieges between Hyde Park-corner and. Brent-
ford Butts, and the demesnes that there adjacent lie.
Whether the tracts so distributed are religious or political
we know not; but those persons who ere best acquainted
with the distinguished distributer affirm that they are much
more likely to be political than religious.-1116m. Paper.
