OLD BAlLEY—(ruis DAY.)

Wm. Enews stood indicted for wilful and cor-
rupt perjury, in swearing a false affidavit in the
Vicar-General's Office, Doctors' Commons, on
the 16th of August, for the purpose of obtaining
a licence of marriage with Johannah Cooper,
spinster, aged 16 years. This indictment was
preferred by the guardians (the mother and
others) of the young lady.
Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case to the Jury.
The offence was the same as that tried last night
(reported in another part of this Paper), in which
a young man, named Mulley, was the de-
fendant. lie called the attention of the Jury to
the 2(1 and sth counts of the indictment, charging
the defendant with the abduction of the young
lady, by inveigling her from the protection of her
guardians, and marrying her without their con-
sent, and with swearing the young lady was of
the age of twenty-one years, and that they
had resided for fifteen days last past in
the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn. The
Learned Counsel then detailed the circumstances
under which the elopement took place, which
were precisely the same as stated by the Learned
Counsel in the former trial. The parties met at
Stowmarket Fair in July last, and again, on Au.
gust 15th, at Harleton Church, from whence they
set off in a post-chaise for London, where they
arrived on August 16th, and on the following
day they were married at St. Andrew's Church,
Holborn. Evidence of the swearing of the affi-
davit by the defendant, and the issue of the
licence, was given.
The Sexton of the parish of St. Andrew, Hol-
born, proved that the defendant was the persota
who married Miss Johannah Cooper, spinster,
on the 17th of August last, by licence, which he.
produced.
Cross-examined.—Miss Cooper appeared to be
about 20 years of age. lie would not swear she
did not appear to be 21 years of age.
Evidence was then called, proving that the
young lady was only 15 years of age last March,
and there the defendant bud sworn falsely, when
he made affidavit that he had resided 15 days in
St. Andrew's, Holborn.

The guardians were called and deposed they
did not give consent to the marriage. One of
the guardians, named Hanson, on cross-examina-
tion, said, that he was also an attorney.
Mr. PnENnEItGAST said, that this proceeding
was equally honourable to him in either cia.
racter.

Other evidence was given, proving that the
defendant wus a grocer at Ipswich, and that he
bore a most respectable character. Mr. ALLEY
addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in.
veighed in forcible language against the spirit
that had manifested itself on the part of the pro-
secutors ; he denied that the defendant was aware
the young lady would be entitled to property,
or that she was not of the age of 9.1 years. Wit-
nesses were called to character, and the Jury
found the defendant Guilty.

LAW INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 1.
This being the first seal before Term, the -Lonn•CitAN-
cimLatt took his seat at 'a:quartetbefore eleven o'clock.
A few motions of no public interest were opened„ but his

notice that he would take bankrupt petitions to-morrow, and
that 011 Wednesday he should not come down to Lincoln's-inn,
but that his Honour the Master of the Rolls would hear Motions.

The Court rose at half-past one o'clock.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. I.
QUIROZ V. TUUEMAN.
This was an action whereby the plaintiffs sought to recover
the value of goods; amounting to 2,6111. 15s. lid., the property
of the plaintiffs, but on which the defendants made advances
at the request of a person named .Caumont, an agent of the
plaintiffs in London. On behalf of the defendant named it was
contended that the circumstances, which were complicated and
uninteresting, took the case out ofi the general rule that a factor
cannot bind the goods of his principal by a pledge.
The Coeiri, in giving judgment, adverted to the recent
complaints matte against the rule of law on which the question
depended. All the three Judges present (Mr. Justice LITTLE-
DALE having retired) expressed a decided opinion in favour of
the policy of the law as it at present stood. They deemed it of
high importance to the commerce of England, that foreign mer-
chants consigning goods to this country should feel the security
which the rule now afforded them against the misconduct of
their factors. • At present . the vile was clear; and as the pre-
sent case came fully within it, there must be •judgmentfor the
plaintiffs.
The •CounT rose again at two o'clock in consequence of the
absence of Counsel ; bat threw out a strong intimation, that,
unless some cogent excuse were rendered on future days, they
would give judgment at once on the cases standing fiir argu.
ment before them.

THE THEATRES.

COVENT-GARDEN.- -The Tragedy of Macbeth
drew a numerous audience last night. Mr.
YOUNG was the hero of the piece. Ho was, of
course, well received, and he supported the part
with his accustomed judgment, but there was
nothing of novelty that calls for particular no-
tice. Mr. C. KEMBLE rendered Macduff more
than usually prominent. Mrs. BARTLEY, who is
re-engaged at this Theatre, was the Lady Mac.
Leth, and her performance was marked by the
energy which had always characterized her
acting.
HAYmAnKrr,—The Comedy of The hypocrite
was well attended at this Theatre last night.
The part of Darnley was performed by a Mr.
CROOK. It is but an indifferent part, and affords
no scope for any display of comic merit or for
critical notice. The Play was followed by The
Marriage of Figaro, which introduced Miss
GEORGE, an actress of provincial repute, in the
part of Susanna. She acted with spirit and
sung with simplicity. Miss KELLY, as The
Page, was all vivacity and humour.
ADELPHI TUEATRE.—A new Barletta, en-
titled The Young Widow, was brought forward
last night. It is a lively Piece, and was much
better supported than is usual at what are styled
the Minor Theatres. Miss S. BOOTH, whose
merits are well known to the Public, was the he-
roine, and she displayed her talents with divert-
ing versatility, as the Widow, as a Military Officer,
and as an Old Woman, all of which characters
she sustained with great humour. The chief of
the other parts were assigned to Mr. WRENCH,
and Mr. POWER, and the Piece passed off with
the full approbation of the audience. Miss
BOOTH received a very favourable reception on
her entrance and throughout her performance.

NEW COURT.

MR.FAUNTLEROY.—This montine it was 110 ti.
fled to the ItrcoupEn by the Counsel for Mr. FAux•rt.r-
not , that they intended, on his being brought up to receive
sentence, to move au arrest of judgment. Messengers were
therefore dispatched to inform the Judges of the circumstance,
their labours being terminated with the trials last evening, as
it is absolutely necessary that they should he present to decide
upon the parts of law raised in Mr. Fauntleroy's favour. •At
eleven o'clock the ItieconnE it gave notice to the officers of the
(71d Bailey, that he should, contrary to the usual custom, pass
the sentence on the convicts in the New Court, which is much
more capacious than the old one. Alter the trials were over in
the Old Court, it continued to be thronged, as few persons
were let into the secret, and we noticed many respectable per-
sons anxiously waiting with the hope of seeing Mr. Fauntleroy.
At twelve o'clock the New Court was crowded to execs, and
the Bench and Bar were filled with persons of rank anti cha.
racter. The greatest anxiety was manifested for the arrival of
the Judges.

THOUSAND GUINEAS' FOOT RACE.

29.—The great foot racefori9llo guineas
between Captain PARKEtt and METCALF the pedestrian, was
run this day, a little after one o'clock, on the foot path from
Bennetthorpe to the Blue Bell, over the south road at .Doncas-
ter. The Captain received forty yards at starting nut of a mile.

yards given, and passed the Captain, when he had it all his
own way (running baele wards and walking); his opponent gave
in after he had run about three parts of the distance. The win-
ner did 1080 yards in five minutes and twenty-six seconds. Se-
veral sporting men were present, and money to a very consi-
derable amount was bet ; immediately before starting six to

jacket, white cap, and buff shoes; Metcalf in pink.

THE KING.

Wiwnson, Auo. 17.—Yesterday afternoon, shortly before
three o'clock, the KING left the Royal Lodge in an open
phaeton, accompanied by his usual attendants, and took an
airing in the rides of the Great Park. His Majesty returned
by Blacknest to the Royal Lodge, at half-past five. The birth-
day of his Royal Highness the Duke of York was celebrated
here with every demonstration of rejoicing. The bells of the
Castle and parish church rang merry peals at intervals through-
out the day ; and at 9 o'clock a royal salute was fired in the Bache
lois Acre.. His Royal Highness being Grand Steward of the
Borough, the Town Hall in the evening was brilliantly illumi-
nated. The hand of the Grenadier Guards attended in the Long
Walk this afternoon from 4 to 5 o'clock, and played several ad_
mired pieces of music. The Overture to the new Opera Der
Frei:clink was performed by them, and the great attention
with which it was regarded by a numerous attendance of fa-
' shionables is alike creditable to the powers of the Composer and
the ability which the band displayed in its executton.

THE DEVENPORT COLUMN.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
DEYENPORT, AUG. I4.—Thursday last (12th
inst.) being the anniversary of the natal day of our Sovereign,
was fixed upon as the most appropriate for laying the founda-
tion-stone of this noble pillar, which will form at once the prin-
cipal ornament of the town, and be a lasting memorial of the
public spirit and loyalty of its inhabitants. At eleven o'clock
the Commissioners of the Parish, and other gentlemen, as-
sembled at the Town Hall (where a beautiful model of the in-
tended column was exhibited), and soon after twelve walked
in procession to the spot selected for the site, near the old
wind-mill, preceded by the amateur band, with the beadles
and peace-officers bearing their gilded staffs, and followed by
thousands of spectators. After the foundation-stone had been
laid, with the usual ceremonies, by R. Rodd, Esq., corn, wine,
and oil, were poured upon it, and in a glass bottle, prepared
for the purpose, were deposited a sovereign, half-sovereign,
crown, half-crown, shilling, sixpence, penny, halfpenny, and
farthing, of the reign of his present Majesty, a Devonport
medal, richly gilt (the latter presented to the Commissioners of
the town, by 11Ir. Ramsey), a beautiful drawing of the column
by Mr. Foulston, and the following concise account of the cir-
cumstances which led to the erection of the column, printed on

nourable R. Peel, Principal Secretary of State for the Home
Department, praying, for the reasons therein stated, that the
name of the town of Plymouth Dock might be changed ; and
that his Majesty would be pleased to confer on the said town
the name of Devonport, or such other name as to his Majesty
should appear most proper; and his Majesty having been gra-
ciously pleased to comply with the prayer of the said petition,
and directed that on and after the Ist day of January, 1824, the

Died on Sunday se'nnight, GEORGE LIDDELL,
for upwards of thirty years the letter carrier of Falkirk, and
postman to the surrounding villages. He was marked by the
strictest honesty and regularity, and it deserVes to be recorded
as a singular instance of memory, or the power of custom, that
although unable to read, he went about with perhaps 50 letters,
which he unerringly.delivered to the proper persons. We have
seen him, like a knowing gamester with cards, have a handful
of letters arranged curiously between his fingers, from which he
would. play them ein the most correct rummer. Misers have,
at vartouii times, died and' left an overstocked wardrobe, but
George at one time, could vie with many—the presents which
he received from differentgandemen were carefully laid past;and
it is said-that lately some hundred pieces ,of clothkugt of all
descriptions, were consigned to the Hanes,' having commenced
to be rather disagreeable, as the lurking bodes of animation,
&c. ; but this was done while he lay unwell, for his careful
habits would no• allow a rag to be touched.

[THE TIME'S.]

It must be satisfactory to all enlightened men
to observe how steadily (at least in Europe)
those ancient practices, which disfigured the
policy of most commercial states, are giving way
to a system of international regulations, at once
more liberal and more profitable. Our Ministers,
we conclude from circumstances which have ac-
tually taken place, did not mean to impose upon
the public by an empty declamation, when they
abjured In their speeches all voluntary adhe-
rence to the narrow principles of our prohibitory
laws, and declared their dissent from the mis-
chievous and selfish error, that any one great
maritime nation can promote its own solid and
listing interest, by institutions which go to ob-
struct the industry and to impair the resources
of its neighbours. in conformity with their
avowed sentiments, the Cabinet have laboured,
and not in vain, to communicate to other Go-
vernments the lessons of English experience.—
Several of the friendly Powers of Europe have
ohewn their willingness to act towards this
country on maxims of reciprocal confidence
and good fellowship. Prussia and the Northern
States of the second order have signed, or are
negotiating treaties, for the mutual admission of
each other's vessels on the same footing as native
merchantmen ; and we find that the Court of the
Netherlands has even outstripped the progress
of the more formal negociations, by assenting to
a provisional agreement, which, dating from the
14th instant, equalizes the duties on goods re-'
spectively imported into either country, whether
in Dutch or in English vessels. This agreement,
of course, cannot be regarded as definitive, until
the general 46 treaty of commerce"—which we are
happy to see is now pending between tire two
Governments, and calculated for the welfare of
64 mutual interests"—shall have been finally con-
cluded. There is another qualifying clause in
the agreement, which, however, we hope to fin‘i
Much narrowed in its operation by the effect
of the " commercial treaty" itself. This clause
excepts from the equalizing tendency of -the
agreement " those goods of which the innporta-
-46 don under the Netherlands flag is specially fa-
" enured by the general law, or by the tariff of
46 duties inwards and outwards." We do not
mean to disguise (rein our renders the fact, that
a " general law" or " tariff" may be so con-
structed as cempletely to annul the benefits held
out to this country by the complaisant language
of the agreement. Should the Netherlands ex-
tend, for instance, to Europe, the tariff recently
pdhlished for the hindrance of all friendly corn-
tnerce in the Asiatic Seas, the signature of a
treaty, subject to such arrangements, should be
a gross imposture.

of his life had made him a theoreticrnonied,yather than &Imo-
tical man ; and rendered him incapable of estimating the value
of measures tending to diminish Pie desire of aceurmilating
nominal riches, and to raise the valite of real wealth, and I brrve
thus lost the most powerful opponent of that part of the system
which I advocate ; but I have also lost a friend whom I most

WINDSOR, FEB.- 14.—Thursday was a day of rejoicing
and satisfaction to the inhabitants of this town and its sur-
rounding neighbourhood at the joyful event of his most
gracious MAJESTY'S return to the ancient domain of the
Sovereign of these Realms. It was not known till Wed-
nesday that the King would gratify us with his presence on
leaving his Marine Palace at Brighton, but it was thought he
would prOceed to his Palace in Pall-Mall ; and on its being
known that his Majesty would arrive here on Thursday, great
exultation was expressed, and preparations made for receiving
the King with every mark of dutiful respect and attachment.—
It being known that his Majesty would arrive at the Royal
Castle to dinner, groups of persons began to assemble at
the close of the afternoon to hail and congratulate the
TCing en his return to Windsor. Soon after six o'clock '
his Majesty's approach to 'Windsor being announced,
by the arrival of outriders, the bells by signal struck up
a merry peal. As his Majesty passed through the streets
of the town, he was loudly cheered by the crowds of persons
assembled. The tradespeople and others proceeded with all
possible sne, ed to illuminate their houses. The Royal Standard
was also hoisted at the summit of the Round Tower. Yester-
day his Majesty rode out in the Parks, and inspected the works
which have been in progress during his absence, particularly
the rides and road to the Royal Cottage, which are to be direct,
not circuitous.

SUNDAY, FEB. 15.—His Ilrgjesty continues to make daily
amendments in the state of his health, and should to-morrow
prove fine, he will take an extensive ride. He has seen but
