considered that the Bill required alteration in consequence
of the proceedings at Chelmsford yesterday. 'I he Judge
ought to have the power to discharge Mr. Thorogood
without the consent of the Churchwardens, and without
costs. He begged to ask whether under the Bill as it now
stood, the individual could be disharged without the pay-
ment of costs.

Dr. LUSUINGTON said undoubtedly if the proviso
were struck out the Couit over which he had the honour
to preside would have the power to discharge any person
without payment of costs; such a power would do very
well in small cases, but the power would extend to all tes-
tamentary, matrimonial, and other cases, and he thought
that was a pow,r too extensive—being more extensive
than any enjoyed by even the highest Courts—to be given
to the Ecclesiastical Courts.

rid RTICULTURISTS are invited to inspect
at that most experienced and extensive Forcer's, Mr.
John Wilmot's, of Isleworth, RIPPON and BURTON'S
PATENT STOVES. The purity of the heat given by these
Stoves, it will be seen, can only be equalled by that of the sun.
The expense for fuel does not exceed 2d. for 24 hours, during
which time the stoves do not require any attention whatever.
The vines to be seen at Mr. Wilmot's are more healthy than
any ever were before by the old method of heating. The Mover
were placed in the house on the ISth of April, and the grapes

THE VESTA PATENT STOVE,
70s. plain.
That a Madeira climate in England may be produced by the
VESTA STOVE, plants of the most tender kind requiring
warmth have provNl ; in sick rooms it has been found invalu-
able, producing one even degree of temperature throughout the
day and night. The Vesta Stove has no doors, and as there
is not any fire in contact with the outer case, warmth is ob-
tained without any of the unpleasant effects complained of in
the use of others. The fire can be kept alight the whole season,
and the part contait.in_z the fire is not open during the time it
is replenished with fuel. Ihe fuel passes from the Hod into
the Stove without. being seen, preventing entirely any escape
of the noxious vapours, and that annoyance from dust which,
in feeding other stores, arises from Vie fuel being removed
from the Hod into the Stove, or what is worse, into a funnel
to convey it into the st,ve. The ashes are removed without
causing any dirt or dust no raking out, with portable rakers,
or the hands, being necessary ; Lnd daring their removal from
the interior of the Stove they are not visible. The cost for
fuel (cinders, coke, or Welch coal) will be about twopence for
twenty-four hours, duritg which time the stove will not require
attention.
The VESTA STOVES are perfectly free from all liability
to explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been
met with in the use of Arnott's. A variety of sizes and patterns
are made with ascending and descending flues, in iron and
earthenware, suitable for warming apartments of every descrip-
tion, Churches, Ships' Cabins, &C.
The Stoves may he seen in use at RIPPON and BURTON'S
Warehouses, Wells-street, Oxford-street. A List of Prices
and a number of references and testimonials will be sent in
answer to a post-paid application.

Mr. Bedford was re-called, and asked whether Brad-

said he certainly was. He had not a thought of his
leaving his engine. If Bradburn understood he was to
have gone himself, he should have put the engine in the
siding. I cannot recollect the precise words I said to him.
Mr. WAICLEY said the only other witness they had
to examine, was Quinlan, and he understood from r.
Hewlit, the surgeon in attendance, that he was not in a
state to give any evidence as to the transaction. He
was mending rapidly, and would in a few days, be
hoped, be able to state all he knew of the matter.
After a good deal of discussion, it was arranged that
the inquest should be adjourned till Wednesday aezt,
at six o'clock in the afternoon.

The proceedings terminated at half-past four.

Isaac Godfrey. alias Isaac Godjrcy (.'lift, alias God-

Toe prisoner is one of a gang of fellows who have
been extensively plundering tradesmen by means of bills

harness-maker, who took a hill tram him purporting to
be accepted by a man named Cornish, which was di6ho-
noured. Cornish had been represented as a farmer,
living upon his property in Baker-street.
Sir P. LAURIt, who had been made acquainted with
the circumstances, and at once perceived that the bill
was concocted by a knot of swindlers, asked whether
Mr. Dimsdale had any evidence to produce to show that
the bill was a forgery ?—Me. Dimsdale regretted to say
that he had not. The gang

clever to fall under a charge of forgery. It appeared

Judgment deferred.

ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 25.
This being the last day of term the Court took
motions.

DUNCAN V. M'CALMONT.

It will be recollected that this case related to a bot-
tomry bond given by the Captain of the Lord Cochrane
to the defendants, upon which they had commenced pro-
ceedings in the Admiralty Court. The plaintiffs moved
to stay those proceedings, upon which motion the Mas-
ter of the Rolls reserved his judgment.
Mr. PEMBERTON this morning mentioned the case,
observing that the defendants would go on with their
proceedings in the Admiralty Court on Friday next,
unless they were stayed by an order of his Lordship.
The MASTER of the ROLLS said he had not been
furnished with a copy of the proceedings in the Admi-
ralty Court until the night before last, and had not yet
had time to look at them. However, unless the soli-
citors came to an arrangement, he must give judgment
to-morrow, because he could not allow the plaintiff to be
prejudiced.
Mr. KINDERSLEY was certain that his clients would
not take any unfair advantage.

BELGIAN AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—Count Nomes de Pollon, Envoy
Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King
of Sardinia, has had the honour to deliver to his Majesty,
the King of the Belgians, from his August Sovereign,
the insignia of the order of the Annonciade, of the
first class.

It is well known that very few persons enjoy this illus-
.rious order.

The President of the Chamber communicated at the
opening of the sitting, the answer of his Majesty to the
deputation appointed to present to him the address voted
in reply to the speech from the throne :
" Gentlemen—l am happy to see that the same senti-
ment animates all the great powers of the State in the
appreciation of the interests and the condition of our po-
litical existence. I am deeply affected by the share
whieb the Chamber ascribes to me in the consolidation of
our nationality. It is the constant object of my efforts,
and I say with truth a profound love of our independence.
A perfect unity dr views between the Government and the
Chambers is the certain basis of the property and the
stability of our country."
The Minister of War has just written to all the corps of
the army, that for the present no permission to marry will
be given either to officers or privates.
ANTWERP, Nov. 23.—M. Rogea, the Minister of Fi-
nance, was here yesterday to consult some of our principal
merchants respecting the objection of the Chamber of Com-
merce to the proposed alteration in the import duties.
This makes us hope that some modifications will be made
in the project of law.
BERLIN, Nov. 16.—Such measures are taken in our
war department that everything may be ready at she first
notice. To complete the horses required for the regi-
ments of cavalry, which are to be placed on the war esta-
blishment, many thousand are wanted, which proves that
the prohibition to export them was necessary.
Count Nostitz, the Adjutant-General, will. as we Fear,
take the high office hitherto held by General Kirobelsdorff,
of Master of the Horse and Superintendent of the princi-
pal studs in the kingdom. The Count will remove to-
day from Sans Souci to the palace at Berlin for the winter.

" Your Excellency—The Junta has received, which
1 you have addressed to it, accompanying the Manifesto of
1 the Provisional Regency to the Spanish nation. Besides
congratulating itself in find;ng in this document so much
respect for the constitution, and so firm a resolution to pre-
!! servt, it intact, leaving to the Cortes the decision of the
il questions which the Provisional Regency has not considered
riit to b:.. within its province to decide on, it cannot but
manifest to your bxeellency, in testimony of its loyalty, and
that no one may even put a wrong construction on its acts
and its opinions, which are put forth with the frankness
which belongs to men who value no sacrifice for the defence
q+ liberty, who, when they spoke of the dissolution of the
se uate, believe they were accomplishing a duty so much
tilt. more sacred as in their opinion it was urgent, to re.
narrve from the sanctuary of the laws men who had tram-
plcd under foot national representation—that opinion pro-
claimed in so solemn a manner when the nation found
its,eli. in the full exercise of its sovereignty. But if the
Provi&onal Regency is persuaded that it will promote the
welfare of the nation in not deviating from a moral system
which it has proposed to itself to follow, the Junta will
not hesitate to make the sacrifice to a union with those who
•defend under the same banner the principles of the Consti-
, -tution.—God preserve your Excellency,

There was not the slightest appearance ~tmpro

prices, in all cases, at the very lowest p rovious rates.
ROCIIDALIS FLANNEL MARKET, Nov. 23.—We

but a very indifferent, attendanem of buyers. The
quantity of goods sold has been v,,ery liraited, and the
prices very low. The wool marl:e4 has-been stbl more
gloomy : as to prices in the f.iner wools there is nO
change, but broken roils were 6E4.A at a shade lower.
To-day some of the cotton factories have begun to work

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
To the complaint of the Subscribers to the Sheffield
Commercial News-room respecting The Sun news-
P,Ver (ecntaining the announcement of the birth of
410 Princess Royal) not being in the room on
Sunday evening last before half-past twelve o'clock, we
have made the necessary inquiry, and find that the
Papers were in the Post-office at forty minutes past Seven
but owing to the gaeat pressure at the small win.
"14, where newspapers are delivered to those who won't
Pay the Postmaster the usual fee of one guinea a year for
4b°s, Mr. Rodgers, the proprietor of the news-room, could
kit possibly approach the said window, but that he did apply
at the upper window, but not having a box, Mr. Wreaks,
the Postmaster, positively refused to accommodate the
Poem, and it was not until half-past twelve he
was enabled to procure the papers. We have
several other complaints of the late, and, in
ba° or two instances, non-delivery until the
best day, though the parties applied for them more
than once on Sunday at the Post-office. We understand
Complaints are of daily occurrence of irregularity, in-
civility, and often downright insolence. We think it is
time i
lsomeinquiry was instituted.
.' Henley's letter has been received. The charge which
it contains against a public officer is of a very serious
ellaracter, but we cannot give insertion to it in its pre-
Seat shape, and besides we are confident the Postmaster-
9eneral will not fail to, make the fullest investigation
Mete all the circumstances of the case.

SHENK V. TAPIIERS.

In this ease, which was an action for goods sold and de-
livered, the statute of limitation was pleaded, and a letter
addressed in 1835, by the defendant to " Hoffman and
Shenk," was put in as taking the case out of the statute.
A rule nisi to set aside the verdict was obtained this term
by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, on the ground that the Secon-
dary before whom the trial was, improperly allowed a
point to go to the jury as a matter of fact, which he ought
to have ruled himself as a point of law.
Mr. Sergeant GounnuaN this day showed cause against
the rule.
The rule for a new trial was made absolute.
RICIIARDSON V. PETO.
Mr. Sergeant SIIEA applied for a rule to set aside
the judgment which was obtained in this case, contrary to
an understanding come to between the Counsel on both
sides, that it should not be applied for without notice.
Rule nisi granted.
PINKER V. TOMLINSON.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE showed cause against the rule
obtained in this term by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for a
nonsuit. The action was for goods bargained and
sold. Out of a large quantity of cheeses sold by the
defendant, only four were delivered. The action was
brought for the price of the remainder, which the defendant
refused to take, the plaintiff having in the first instance
refused to complete the delivery until he was paid for the
four delivered on the day of sale. The defence was that
the case came within the statute of frauds, as there was
no writing or note of sale. For the plaintiff the entry in
the books by his clerk was proved to take the case out of
the statute. In granting the rule the Court observed that
their Lordships would take care the plaintiff should have
but nominal damages.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE now showed cause against the
rule, which was discharged, the Court ordering a verdict
for the plaintiff.—Damages I s.

We are assured that the Budget of the Ways and
Means will be presented to the Chambers on Monday.
This Budget is expected the more impatiently, as it is
known that it will propose several augmentations of the
taxes, which will make the resources of the country per-
manently equal to the expenditure.—lndependant.

TII/1 DUKE OF CORNWALL DARBOUR AND LAUNCEST3N AND

vICTCRiA RAILWAY COMPANY V. ROSS.

In the early part of the terra a rule nisi was obtained by
Mr. Timesiger to stay proceedings in this eas.; rn the
ground of want of authority on the part of the attorney for
the plaintiff.

Cause was shown against the rule by Sir F. Pollock,
and it appeared that the above Company was formed and
1 Directors appointed; but the gentlemen so appointed to
the direction kept too many of the shares among them-
selves. The scheme lost favour with the public, and con-
sequently failed. The action was brought for the
amount of two calls made by the Directors upon the
shares subscribed for by the defendant. The Learned
Gentleman contended that the Directors had power under
the Act incorporating the Company to make the calls,
but even admitting, for the sake of the argument, that
they had not, he confidently put it to the Court that the
defendant had come too late. The action was commenced
in June, and the attorney was instructed by the Directors
to sue the defendant and others, and in the affidavit of the
Directors they stated that they had authority to give such
instructions by a general meeting of the Siareholders.
The defendant was aware of the present objection when the
action was commenced—and if not, his own affidavit showed
that he was perfectly aware of it on the first day of Term;
and it was the universal rule that such an objection must
he taken at the earliest opportunity.
Mr. TIIESIGER, in support of the rule, said that no delay
in the application could prevail against the express provi-
sions of an Act of the Legislature. The Act of Parlia-
ment constituting the Company said that a call having
been made by the Directors, no person should either vote
or act in the Company until that call had been paid. At
the meeting at which it was alleged the solicitor wasin-
structed, none of the proprietors present had paid the call,
nor had many of the Directors. They therefore had no
power to do any act ; therefore the instructions given by
such a meeting were invalid. .

The Coua thought the rule must be discharged, on
the ground that the application came too late. It was not
necessary to decide the point as to the power of the parties
who gave the instructions—it was the duty of any defend-
ant to make such an application at the earliest possible
period after the fact came to his knowlege.—Rule dis-
charged with costs.

" MINISTRY OF FINANCE.

" Article 1 of the decree which was addressed to me
on ae 4th instant orders that there thall be brought
into the Peninsula, in the manner and form the most
convenient, the payment madelby the public treasury of
the Havannah of all assignations not forming part of
the finances of those islands, for the purpose of creating
with the amount of these assignations an equal value in
the Peninsula.
" The amount of these assignations reaches annually
to 25,000,000 of real: ; so that for the future there
may be negotiated in the Peninsula an amount of no-
minal reals of 50,000,000 or 41,000,000 effective, by
consigning for the payment of the integral value of the
assignations at the expiration of 24 months. The Go-
vernment will realise these funds on the following con-
, ditions

1. It will obtain 41,000,000 by means of voluntary
loans : between the capitalists and the merchants of
Madrid for the sum of 31,000,000 of reals, and for
that of 10,000.000 between the capitalists and mer-
chants of Seville, Cadiz, Malaga, Valencia, and Bar-
celona.

" -2. The subscribers shall pay down in cash the sixth
part of their respective quota, and the rest in bills at
from one to five months' date payable to order.
"3. There shall be given to the takers in payment
drafts on the treasury of the Havannah payable in from
one to twenty-four months after sight.
" 4. The usual discount of eighteen per cent. shall be
allowed en these drafts.

" 5. For the drafts that have a longer date than six
months an interest at the rate of six per cent. per an-
num shall be paid at the Havannah."
I have frankly pointed out to you the ideas of the
Government in this contemplated operation. There is no
necessity for me to point out to you the guarantee offered
for the reimbursement of the different sums by the drafts
given in payment, as it is known with what regularity
these drafts are paid at the Havannah.

VITTORIA, Nov, 11.

" The Deputies of the provinces of Alava, Guipus-
coa, and Biscay, have met at Bilboa, to take into consi-
deration the peculiar circumstances in which this coun-
try is about to be placed. The Government of Madrid
having altogether neglected to provide for the mainte-
nance of the numerous troops stationed in the Basque
provinces, General Rivero repeatedly applied to our
authorities to obtain money and supplies. On an extra-
ordinary occasion these provinces do not refuse to lend
assistance to the troops ; but, as a regular charge they
cannot admit such a precedent, contrary to their fueros,
and that the people would not suffer long. The pro-
vincial authorities have consequently intimated to Gen.
Rivero that he was in future to provide for the wants
of his troops.

Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa.•
trnnage for nearly thirty year sin London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing an enclosure will be answered by return

NEW TRIAL PAPER.-LANDER V. GORDON.

nis was an action upon a promissory note for 501.,
which was tried before 11r. Baron Gurney, at the late
Assizes for the county of Sussex, when a verdict was
found for the plaintiff.'''Early in the term, Mr. Platt had
obtained a rule nisi, to set aside the verdict and for a new
trial, cause against which was shown by Mr. Thesiger.
The evidence at the trial, given by a person named Bur-
ton, was that the defendant owed him money. He applied
for it, and offered to take a bill if it was not convenient
for him to pay cash. He said he did not like his
name to appear, but his wife would sign one for
him for 50/., and it would be duly honoured when it be-
came due. Mrs. Gordon did sign a promissory note,
which was disavowed by the defendant and formed the sub-
ject of action.

There were imputations of perjury on each side.
The COURT ordered a new trial,on payment of costs.
The venue to be changed to Middlesex, and the trial to be
had in the sittings after Hilary term.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL MARKET.

The operations in produce were on a small scale by
private treaty, both for home use and export. The pub-
lic sales were trivial, and prices still on the decline. The
arrivals were to a small extent from most parts but many
ships are near at hand.
TEA MARKET.
For Free Trade Tea the demand was dull, and former
rates were not supported at the public sales of 17,000
packages. Company's Congou flat at 2s. 31d. cash.
TALLOW MARKET.
Prices of Russian Tallow were not lower, but the de-
mand was very limited, both on the spot and to arrive.
Town Tallow dull of sale, and prices on the decline.
HAY-MARKET.

The supply was to a moderate extent, and the demand
very dull at the following rates:—Clover Hay, 31. 10s. to
5/. 12e. ; Meadow, 31. to 41. 10s. ; and Straw, 11. 6s. to
11. 10s.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCIIESTER.—Ovviiig to the continued pres-
sure in the money market, the demand continues limi-
ted ; and prices, both of goods and yarn, gradually
decline, sales having been made within the last three days
on lower terms than were ever before known. At the
same time, it must be added, that stocks are :by no
means heavy ; and, a revival of demand (which m;y be
limped for whenever a favourable cligne.e takes place in the
• ~,
London money market), would probably be followed by a
decided improvement.

CHUCK V. HARRIS.

Mr. PLATT appeared to show cause against a rule
obtained by Mr. Erie, to set aside a rule for a
Special Jury, and why the trial should not be had on
Wednesday (yesterday).—( A laugh.) lie did not know
whether it was worth occupying the time of the Court.
Mr. ERLE was only anxious that the trial should not be
postponed. The defendant had had 1,8001. worth of their
malt, and they had not yet got 18 farthings. They were
only anxious for expedition.
Mr. PLATT—His client was only anxious to have the
trial before a Special Jury. He cared not when the trial
wai had.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Have you any objection to change
the venue, and summon a Jury before me in London the
day after to-morrow.

Mr. PLATT—Certainly ; we have a reduced Middlesex
Jary already.

The COURT ordered that the cause should stand first in
the list for the first day of sittings after Term, to be tried
by a Special Jury if the defendant bad one in attendance
—if not, to be tried by a common jury.

Statements are also made of the indirect duties to
which the oils of the British fishery are subject, as as
answer to those who argue that the smallness of the
duty (Is. per tun) is a sufficient encouragement. The
total amount on a ship of 400 tons, it will be seen, i
1,6'251, but estimating this at only 1,000/., and dividing
it by the average quantity of spermaceti oil, which is
160 tuns, it gives a duty of above 6/. per tun, while
foreign oils are, it is said, paying no more than from
1-sth to 1-10th of that amount,
Direct and indirect duties on a ship of 400 tons in

The question here raised, being one respecting the
encouragement to the British fisheries, as opposed to
the British colonies, is one of some delicacy, and it
should be remarked that the information given above has
been chiefly obtained from interested sources. the
argument, however, of the service of the fisheries, both
in manning ships of war and employing the inhabitants
the northern islands, is an important one, while, in-
dependent of all argument, the various statistical infor-
mation connected with the subject is valuable.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 13.—Tie sections of the Second
Chamber of the States General have complete(' their
examination of the proposed financial laws ; orL sec-
tion only is not quite ready.
His Majesty continues to receive deputationE, and
addresses from different places and public bodies, ,on-
gratulating him on his accession to the throne.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 17.—The Staats Courant of
this date publishes the Royal ordinance relative to the
composition of the provincial assemblies of North and
South Holland. The Assembly of South Holland is
to consist of 86 members, viz. 10 for the nobles, 41 for
the towns, and 35 for the country. Rotterdam is to
have 10 members, the Hague 8, and Leyden 5.

The Assembly for North Holland is to consist of 72
members : viz. 6 for the nobles, 44 for the towns, and
22 for the country. Amsterdam is to have 22 members.
[Here follow the names of all members of the As-
semblies of the two provinces, who for this once are no-
minated by the King.]
ODESSA, OCT. 23.—The 10th division of the Rus-
sian army, which we expected here, bas not arrived, but
has suddenly been ordered to halt o❑ its march, because
the events of Syria have rendered Russian assistance in
Turkey unnecessary. Admiral Lazareff is said to be
gone to Nicolajeff.
VIENNA, Nov. 7.—A number of officers and subal
terns of the artillery, who, besides those officers of engi-
neers who have already gone to Constantinople with the
permission of the Imperial Government, will enter for a
time into the Turkish service, have been directed to pro-
ceed to Venice, whence they will be conveyed direct to
the Syrian coast, where they will probably be employed
in taking measures to secure during the winter the con-
quered places.
