COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(THIS DAY.)

(Before Nlr. Justice COLERIDGE and a SPECIAL JURY.)

THE QUEEN V. MYERS AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment charging the defendants, Mor-
ris Myers, John Adams, and others, with conspiring to-
gether to defraud Messrs. Esdailes and Margrave, of tho
City Saw Mils, Messrs. Cole and Co., and other creditors
of William Edwards, a bankrupt, lately carrying on busi-
ness in Wentworth-street as a cabinetmaker.
Sir F. POLLOCK opened the case, and proceeded to call
his witnesses.

On Mr. Esdaile, the first witness, entering the box, the
Counsel for the defence objected to the indictment, inas
much as it stated that the name of the Messrs. Esdaile's
partner was Thomas Johnson Margraves, and not Thomas
Margraves, as stated in the indictment, and urged that this
objection was fatal.
The cave having been arrued at great length by Sir W.
Follett, Mr. Humphries, Mr. Platt, Mr. Chambers, Mr.
Swann, and Mr. Thesiger, in support of the objection, and
by Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Clarkson against ft,
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that, although at first he
had been inclined to stop the case, vet he had determined,
after hearing arguments, to permit the case to proceed,
and to reserve the point.
( The case was proceeding when we went to press.)

THE FINAL
On Saturday the prisoner wrote a very ion confes-
sion, and delivered it to Mr. Carver, the Ordinzrey, and
Mr. Band, the Minister of the French ProtNitant
chapel, in Threadneedle-street, who afterwards read it
over to him, and asked him whether it was all correct,
to which he replied that it was. They then asked him
if there was any thing ho wished to add to it, and We re-
plied no thing whatever. The confession is written in
the French language, with a slight admixture of Swiss,
which made it somewhat difficult to translate. We,
'however, have seen a translation of it, and which has
been also read to the priscner, and acknowledged by him
to be correct. We were not allowed;totake a copy of
it, it being thought that it ought not to go forth to th;
public mail after the execution. The eonftls*.on does not
contain any fact with which the public are not already
acquainted. It cpmniences by stating, that be had
planned the robbery several days before it was commit..
led. It does not-state (as in the first confession) that
Lord William Rusvell came down stairs and caught ban
in the act of hiding•seme of his Lordship's plate.. This
part is altpgether.omitted. After, stating that' he, had
resolved on the tobbery, it says, he went up- Stairs to
Lordship's bed-room, and finding him asleep, heiveut
down asd got a large carving knife,. with which he re-
turned, and having tucked pp ;he sleeve* his coat,
cut:his throat. It then gives a,very long account
having hid the different articles he had stolen, and per-
sists,in'the statement .that he hid some of them While
the police :were present. It repeats-411c story-othis

CASE OF NATHANIEL CAVE.

Mr. EASTHOPE sail that he deemed it inexpedient
at the present advanced period of the Session to perse-
vere in the motion of which he had given notice for yes-
terday, to refer the petition of the Rev. J. B. Moun-
tain, denying the allegations in the petition of Natha-
niel Cave, to a Sleet Committee ; he should therefore
give notice, that on Tuesday next he should move that
an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying
her to institute an inquiry into the facts of the case.
Mr. HUME gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he
should move for certain returns connected with the
salaries and emoluments of the officers of the Court of
Session in Scotland.
London, England, 1840-07-30

CHINA.

Mr. G. PALMER would now put the question to
the Noble Lord, of which he had given notice for yes-
terday. It appeared that the Court for the adjudica-
tion of prizes taken in consequence of the order in Coun-
cil authorizing reprisals on the property of the Emperor
of China, was ordered to be held at Singapore. Now,
that Order in Council would reach China about
the month of May or June, and from the elev.
raeter of the navigation, and the prevalence of
the monsoons, it would not be possible for the
vessels to reach Singapore from the coast of
China before the month of November, and if they
should be released by the Court they would not get
back to China before the month of May• This 'would,
in such a case, occasion a considerable charge for de-
murrage. He also believed it would be exceedingly
difficult to detain these ships upon the coast of China.
The question he wished to a k was it any provision
had been made for the adjudication of prizes before
they should be carried into a British port.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the provision which had
been made for the adjudication of prizes was the one
which had been referred to by the Hon. Gentleman.
The vessels were to be conducted to Singapore for
adjudication. No further authority bad been given.
He had however spoken to his Noble Friend the
Secretary of State ftsr Foreign Affairs, and to his Noble
Friend at the head of the Admiralty, on the subject,
and if any thing further were necessary to be done it
would be attended to.
CAMBRIDGE.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that certain re-
turns relating to the Borough of Cambridge, for which
he bad moved on the 26th June, should be made forth-
with.—Ordered.
COFFEE DUTIES.

Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to ask the President
of the Board of Trade, what course he proposed to
pursue respecting the new duties proposed to be levied
upon coffee. At present there were three descriptions
of duties levied on that article. First, a duty of lad. per
lb. on coffee the produce of foreign countries, and coining
direct from those countries. Second, a duty of 6d. per lb.
on coffee the produce of British possessions ; and Third,
a duty of 9d per lb. on coffee, the growth of countries
within the limits of the Evt. India Company's Charter.
He understood that it Was the intention of the Right
Hon. Gentleman to reduce the duty upon coff•e the
produce of British possessions, from 6d. to 3d., and the
duty on coffee exported from within the limits of the
East India Company's charter, to 9d. With respect to
sugar—
Mr. HUME called the Right Hon. Gentleman to
order,—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Right Hon.
Gentleman was now going into a discussion of
the, merits of a Bid which was to come on that even-
ing.-4 Hear. )
Sir R. FEL L. said that he had not been out of or-
der. All he wished to ask was, whether it was in
tended that the alteration should apply to all th

THE FUNDS.

As we have no arrivals this morning of any consequence,
and the intelligence in the French Papers being still of a
warlike description, the speculators and jobbers in the
British funds are rather puzzled to know how to act, conse-
quently, for the present, they are speculating to a limited
amount, until they can ascertain some clue as to what turn
the affairs of the East will take.

Consols which left off yesterday at 91 for the Account,
opened at the same price, since which were done at 91k 4,
but at present may be quoted at 91k sellers; Exchequer

Alnwick Castle is expected to be full of company
about the end of the ensuing month. The grouse on the
moors on the. Noble Duke's domains were never more abun-

is on the eve of forming a brilliant matrimonial alliance with
a young lady of great beauty and accomplishments.

TORTONI'S-TUESDAY, JULY 28.

The muster of speculators has been but small ; business
has been limited in consequence, probably, of the various
opinions entertained as to how the procession to the co-
lumn, or the Bastille, will go off. The general opinion
seems to be, that there will not be any disturbance. Some
groups of students who have assembled on the line, it is
understood, will be allowed quietly to follow. The Three
per Cents. for the Account were first done at 83f. 75c.,
have since been done at 83f. 50c., and last at 83f. 60c.,
with every appearance of business not being resumed until
after the procession shall have passed, which will not be
until long after post hour, as to-day the General Office
closes at one o'clock.

FRENCH AFRICA.

PHILIPPEVILLE, July 13.
The campaign is ended, and we may say that the results
arc of immense importance. All the tribes of the province
have submitted, and are ready to pay tribute to France.
The Kalifa of Medians, appointed by the French authority,
El Mockrani, who had been molested by some regular
battalions of Abd-el-Kader, on this side of the Bibons, has
been reinstated, and all the tribes from Setif to the Iron
Gates obey him. Our affairs go on well.
On the 7th we said the 62d Regiment of the line re-

turn to this town. It behaved admirably in the late
operations. The appearance of this fine Regiment, to
meet which the inhabitants went out in crowds, was very
menial. The men appeared fatigued and sunburnt. Col.

of absence.

A letter from Perpignan says that the number of Car-
list refugees who enlist in the Fareign Legion increases
daily. M. Perez de Castro, ex- President of the Council
of Spain, and Gen. Cleonard, had arrived in that town.
Five hundred Spanish refugees have been sent to Roche-
fort, where they will be employed on the works of the
out port.

AfONTAUBAN, JULY 22.—Since the 18th 1,200 Spanish
refugees have passed through this town, on their way to

MANCHESTER BETTLIG.

TUE,DAY.—The extraordinarily rich character of the
Goodwood list has reduced the attendance in our sporting
rooms this week, the absentees being more numerous than
we remember on any similar occasion. This forenoon, the
following formed the leading features in the business :
On the Goodwood Stakes, decided to-morrow, the odds
closed with 41 to 1 taken on Hetman Platoff; 5 to 1
offered against Orelia—probably a point more would have
been pencilled down ; 20 to 1 against the Potentate, and
the same against the Ruler; against the latter the layers
would not proceed at that figure.
Tata CUP (Thursday next. )-60 to 40 was offered against
Charles the Twelfth ; a point more would have been
taken. sto 1 was freely bid against Platoff; 6 would, at
the wind up," have been booked. 40 to 5 was taken
two or three times on Beggarman and the Dry of Algiers
coupled—and then no layers. 9to 1 was taken on Pocket
Hercules and Beggarman. 20 to 1 was offered against
Romulus and Tag-Rag. 6 to 1 was laid against Liner-
cost. Forlorn Hope, and two or three others, were
named ; but we did not catch any business of moment.
THE ST. LEGER.— According to the latest accounts
from the south, Crucifix is scratched for her engagements
this week, and appears at 6 to 1 for the great race of
September; the consequence is, that 5 to 1 was laid
in scores and other sums to-day ; indeed, in one or
two instances we noticed 6to 1 laid. Lauacelot's price
must not be considered more than 3} to one ; half a
point more would have been taken with zest to a
sum. Galen was much inquired after, and as low as
10 to 1 was taken. One influential gentleman was open

THE HIGHWAY ACT.

A point of considerable importance under the High-
way Act has just been decided at the Kensington
Special Sessions. On the surveyors of the highways
for the parish of Kensington presenting their account*
to be passed, the book was handed to them for the pur-
pose of their being sworn, when they refused to take the
oath, contending that the Highway Act (sth and 6th
William IV., cap. 50), in no part required that an oath
should be administered, except upon making a com-
plaint. In presenting their accounts there was no
complaint made, and there was consequently no oath
necessary, the Act only stating that their accounts
should be " verified," and that they should attend to
answer any questions the Bench might put to them,
which was all that was required by law of them, and
which they were ready to do. Several of the
Magistrates, on referring to the Act, were of the
same opinion, and after referring also to the
Act of the 6th William IV., " for. abolishing un-
necessary oaths," it was determined to substitute
a declaration for the oath, which will in future be the
practice. The divisional clerk then made a charge of
ss. for fees, which was strongly resisted by the survey-
ors, on the ground that the Act of Parliament allowed,
of no fees to. Magistrates' Clerks for passing of the ac-
counts. The Clerk produced a table of fees, signed by
the Chief Justices of the Queen's Bench and Common
picas, and by the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, on
the authority of which be bad made his demani. The
surveyor, however, contended that the 110th section of
the Highway Act declares that " the several fees here- '
after limited and expressed, and no other, shall be taken,
Sic., on the execution of this Act." The fees so li-
mited mentioned nothing about the passing of accounts,
and the Bench considering the express words of the
Act of Parliament to be paramount to the table of
fees signed by the Lord Chief Justices, &c., refused to
order payment of the amount, to the no small sat:sf.ic ti
-
tion of the surveyors of the different parishes prcsar.t.
