LITERARY NOTICE.

A REVIEW of the WAREHOUSING SYSTEM as con:
nested with the PORT of LONDON. Taken from Par-
liamentary Reports and .oificial DOcuments. Dedicated to
the Earl Of LIVERPOOL. By HENRY LONGLANDS, Esq.
In our Paper of Saturday we gave extracts
from the above Tract, chewing the view the au-
thor proposed to take of the important subject,
the origin of the Legal Quays and Sufferance
Wharfs, and the effects which it was anticipated
would be produced by establishing the ware-
housing system ; in tracing the extension of that
system the Author quotes the following pas.
sages :

",The leading principle of the warehousing system virtually
carries with it a sufficient compulsatory power to oblige the
merchants to deposit their goods at particular places ; because
such goods as fall under the warehousing system will only be
entitled to a suspension of the payment of the duties on their
being deposited in warehouses allotted by the public for their
accommodation.

" I conceive that there will be a great additional security,
both to the crown and the subject, by those-goods being landed
and deposited in warehouses surrounded by walk, which I no.
derstand is the plan of wet docks in general."

" The safety as well as the interest of the revenue require,
with respect to the expenses of management, that the ware-
houses In which the merchandize is to be deposited under the
warehousing spun), should be as much circumscribed in
point of local situation as the necessary accommodation to
trade will admit."

• To the same point he quotes the Commissioners
of Excise, who conclude their opinions upon the
subject by
" Earnestly hoping that whatever exciseable commodities, it
may in the opinion of the Legislature be thought expedient to
warehouse, they will only be allowed to be deposited in such
detached warehouses, as may be hereafter erected, and encom-
passed by proper wal:s."
he then proceeds thus :
" The Act for' establishing the West India Docks in cause-
quence was passed on the 12th July, 1799, and the London
Dock Act on the 20th June, 1000 ; in these Acts, as well as
the Warehousing Act, passed in the year 1003, regard was had
to the arrangement of ships and goods, not merely as an en-
couragement to the projectors of the dock., but as may be fair-
ly assumed front the extracts we have made, with a conjoined
view to revenue as well as commerce.
The same was the case with the East India Docks esta-
blished simultaneously with the Worehousing Act in 18113 ;
and with the Commercial and East Country Docks, the
former established by an Act passed 20th June, 1010 (50th
Geo. 111. cap. 207. Loc and Per.); the latter by the Act of
the 51st Geo. cap. 171 (Loc and Per.), on the 15th of
June, 1011."

The Author shows that the East India, West
India, and London Docks, having been made
Legal Quays, and having exclubive privilege,
were placed under certain restrictions'as a se.
curity to the public, which did not apply to the
other Docks, they being merely ►SliQerancc
W harfs.

The Restraint upon the East India, West India, and other
Trades, which were confined to the different Docks, was limited
in each case to a period of 21 years, but the privilege of being
Legal Quays is perpetual ; none of the Companies therefore
have any claim to a 'continuance of their exclusive.trades, after
the expiration of such periods of 21 years, but they will all
continue to possess the vested right of property in their wharfs'
as Legal Quao, that right having been granted to them as one
of the main inducements to embark in their respective under.
takings.

the privilege cannot be claimed
as a matter of right under any circumstances, and if the trade
of the port should be so .extended as to render the existing
Quays and Docks altogether insufficient for its accommodation,
unodlainrts hosiirso lme

then can such companies have no greater claim than any pro-
jectorii of new Docks or Quays ; and it even seems doubtful
whether the proprietors of the old Sufferance Wharfs would not
in such case have a prior claim.
But; the three principal Docks may, with justice and pro-
priety, approach the Legislature, and seek to be protected in the
possession of the rights conceded to them, under the sanction of
their respective acts; rights which were not limited by the then
existing wants of the port of London, but extended to contin-
gent provisions for the future accommodation of its trade. The
clauses granting the particular privilege of being legal quays
are all similar; they empower ,
these Companies from time to
time to provide Quays, Wharfs, and Warehouses, .convenient
and sufficient for the trade and business of the Docks, and for
the landing, &c. of such merchandize as shall or may, at any
time or times, be legally landed or shipped at the said Quays
br Wharfs." If, therefore, the trade of the port should at any
time require an extension of the Legal Quays, it must he first
shewn that these Companies are unwilling or unable to provide
the additional accommodation, before, the right of doing so can
be conceded to others ; more especially so, if it should wear,
as no doubt it would, that such concession would be prejudicial
to the interests of dime to whose public spirit and, enterprise the
country is Indebted for these magnificent commercial establish-
inents.

Had not the privileges of legal quays been granted to them,
it is quite clear that theseidikks, constructed for the reception
of merchandize which could not otherwise have been lawfully
landed therein, would never have been undertaken. The'con.
cession of these privileges was the primary and fundamental
condition of the compact,between the public and the projectors;
the further inducement held out to the latter, by the offer of the
exclusive right to receive particular branches of trade for a li-
mited period, was only a secondary and collateral consideration :
As the privilege of being constituted legal quays was not grant-
ed without annexing to it important conditions to which the
grantees are still bound, so the grant must be held to be bind-
ing upon the Legislature and the public, and this in good
faith ; for should the same
.privileges be extended to others at
pleasure, then would the original grant become of no value.
In the ease of the West India Dock Company the exclusive
privilege of receiving the whole of the West India trade has
ceased for more than twelve months; that company therefore
must, for the future, mainly rely upon their " full properties
and rights as legal quays."

(To be Continued.)

CHAIN BRIDGE AT SHIELDS.---1/ appears, says
a Correspondent, that an actual survey of the
Harbour of Shields took place last week, with a
view to erect a Suspension Chain Bridge across
the Tyne at this place. Mr. Wm. CLEGRAM,
Civil Engineer, Shoreham, was the gentleman
who made the survey. His sections, plans, and
estimates, we understand, will shortly be laid
before the public. The Engineer in question
considers the work as of easy accomplishment,
and conceives that the tolls let at a moderate
rate would amply remunerate the individuals
who should embark hi the speculation. The
people in the North are ignorant as yet as to who
are the parties engaged in this business; but
there can be no doubt that such a Bridge, made
high enough to allow large-sized vessels to pass
under it, would be a most important public ac.
ctunmodation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER 2.

PRESBYTERY OF SCOTLAND V. REV. ALEX. FLETCHER.
The Loup CHANCELLOR said, that with respect to the
question of costs in this motion, which stood over till to-day, he
would give no costs to either party.

BLACRITORE GLAMORGASHIRE CANAL.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that having postponed his
decision on the commitment of Mr. Reece, he was of opinion
that he ought not to commit him ; and further, that Mr. Reece
was to have his costs in the motion. The injunction not to
widen and deepen the canal must remain. After reading all
the affidavits, he could not discover that there had been any
violation of it such as could be visited by the Court. If the
plaintiff suffered any injury from the diminution of the water-
course, he had his remedy by action at law.

OPERA HotISE.—ERERS V. RENELM.
At the last sitting of the Court, Mr. HART had made a motion
in this cause for a reference to the Master to appoint a Manager
and Receiver, with a view to getting in the profits of the en-
suing season, with leave to Mr. Allen to offer himself' as Re-
ceiver, and the plaintiff; without salary or reward, to offer him-
self for the Manager.
Mr. SUGDEN now appeared for two of the sureties of Be-
nelli to oppose the motion. The original contract was betwevn
Ebers and Benelli. The latter had undertaken the lease,
which the former had in possession of the Theatre, toge-
ther with the profit of loss of the current season of 1023.--
The pdssession was scarcely transferred before the defendant dis-
covered deficiencies, in the nature of debts and losses amounting
to nearly 10,0001. Upon which, in Michaelinas Term, 1823, he
'applied to the Court to be relieved from the' contract, on the
ground of fraud in the representation of the plaintiff: Mr.
Ebers had filed a cross bill for specific performance. The in-
terests of Bellal were of course bound up with those of his
sureties. The Learned Counsel contended, that this Was a
motion most unprecedented in its nature and pretensions: There
had been a perfect assignment both in law and equity of the
estate, without a power reserved of re-entry. Sri that until the
decision the whole responsibility must be with lienelli and his
sureties. There might be something in it, if Mr. Ebers were
anxious to do justice, either by standing to the agreement, or sub.
mitting to the dissolution of it, according to the equitv of the con-
tract. lint his object was simply to bind the defendant and his
sureties to the fulfilment of his contract. Could it be listened to for
a moment that he should hold them bound by all thecovenants of
that agreement, and yet that he should conic here for an order
to receive and manage against his own lessee ! The only way
in which Mr. Ebers could obtain controul over this property
was: by bringing and succeeding in an action of ejectment at
law, by which alone he could now re-enter.; and if he did so,
the defendant would, by the same means, obtain a release from
the contract, and the sureties would be no longer bound, which
was all the relief sought; excepting the reimbursement of
16,0001. already paid by the defendant to Mr. Ebert, on account
of the contract.

Mr. HORNE appeared for the other Noblemen and Gentle-
men who were sureties for the rents on behalf of Mr. Benelli,
whose absence, occasioned most probably by engagements which
he was busy in making with Italian and trench artists for the
approaching season, was no reason for inducing the Court to
suppose that he would not return in good time, and make
the most of his property, so long as the delay of the cause
should compel him to hold the theatre. But whatever became
of the property in the mean time, Mr. Ebers could have no
right to call it in question. Would Mr. Ebers pretend that
Mr. Benelli, if he should come over in time, as was most likely,
would be incapable of the management of the property ?
How came Alr. Ebers, in the former possession of the property,
to appoint him his chief artist ? It was quite clear that Mr.
Ebers found him, or thought him capable of the management,
when he (Mr. Ebers), on very good grounds, suspected his own
abilities for that office. Mr. Ebers had got rid of his unprofit.
able lease ; he had doubted Benelli's responsibility; he had
required, and obtained, the best sureties which could be
given for the payment of the rent ; he bad sued Benelli for
specific performance of the contract; he had proceeded by
an action at law to recover the value of the bond ; anti
under these circumstances, by which he had so effectually
divested himself of the legal estate, and thrown it on Be.
nelli and his sureties, he now came to require the Court to
abstract the only security which the bondsmen could have—
the theatre itself, and put it in the custody of the Court. All
they asked was the Contract ; and if Mr. Ebers chose to release
the amities from their legal liabilities, for any thing that they
cared he would he most welcome to the motion. That which
they did object to was, that they should be held by their legal
liabilities, under a state of things, and a situation of the proper-
ty, totally different from those under which they became bound.
The Loan CITANCELLOR said that the main question was,
whbther the securities could be held bound, except as to the
legal' effects of the lease.
Mr. 'TRUSLOVE followed Mr. Hourly, and observed on
the inequitable nature of Mr. Ebers's motion, in regard to the
legal liability of the sureties ; because Mr. Ebers, when ap-
pointed to the management, would soon obtain possession of
more

tract. How was it possible to allow him that power without
first calling upon him to release the securities from their legal
liabilities for the payment of the rent ?
Mr. Haul', for the plaintiff replied, and contended that the
only object in opposing the motion was, that of frileitening Mr.
Ithers into a surrender of the sureties which he held, and which
no equity could impeach or touch by putting the property of the
theatre, for the safety of which he was ultimately bound, in a
state of peril, which not only threatened destruction to the pro-
perty, but to Mr. Ebers also, if he should fail in his suit. He
contended that it was for the interest of all parties that Mr.
Ebers should be put into the management of the property, when
from the whole face and colour of the transactions, all parties
were evidently of opinion that Mr. l3enelli should not be al-
lowed to touch a farthing of the money.
The Loan eItANCELLOU said that the question was, if the
sureties had any thing to do with the contract between Ebers
and Benelli apart from the indentures of the lease. The Court
could not insist upon putting sureties in a worse situation than
that in which they had placed themselves. There might be
many equities in the contract between Ebers and Benelli, in
which the sureties could not be implicated beyond the terms
and . indentures of the lease. A surety had a right to say—
" Don't tell me that I shall be better dealt with in such or such
a state of management. I have only bound myself to a par-
ticular surety, which is void if you insist upon doing that which
you have engaged shall not be done without my consent. You
may proceed to resume the management under the powers of

so far to abide by the contract, and waving that right which he
certainly could avail himself of to re-enter by an action
at law; but his Lordship could discover no right in him-
self to alter the general law of sureties. Ile proposed !to take
home the affidavits and the two trust-deeds, and give them a
careful perusal before he pronounced upon the motion.

COURT OF KIM'S BENCH, DEc. 2.
This day the adjourned sittings commenced before the LORD
Cling J u sncE and COIDIDOR Juries.

TIARTLETT v. DOWNES.
This was an action for money had and received to the plaintiff's
use. It was brought by Air. Bartlett, an attorney, against Mr.
Downes, also a gentleman of the legal profesiion, to recover fees
received by him in the character of steward of the manor of Dan.
bury, in Essex, to which office the plaintiffclaimsa right; and the
question in the cause, therefore, was, whether Mr. Bartlett was
de jure steward of the manor. It appeared that Mrs. Wray,
the last lady of the manor, by a deed of the same date with her
will, appointed Sir. Bartlett steward for the term of his life.—
After her death, the brother of the defendant being devisee
under the will, treated this appointment as void, and ap.
pointed the defendant. The- main question, therefore, was,
whether a tenant in fee of a manor can grant the office of
steward to a party for life so as to bind a successor. But Mr. Scar_
lett, far the defendant, raised another objection to the plaintiff's
title ; namely, that the legal interest was not in Mrs. Wray
when she made the grant, because there was an out-standing
term created in the year 1712, to raise portions for younger
children on a marriage. He produced, besides the original
deed, a deed bearing date in 1705, in which the term was 3s.
signed to trustees to attend the inheritance, and another deed
in 17113, speaking generally of outstanding terms, but not of this
particular term.

The LOUD Cunw JUSTICE held, that it was still a ques.
tion for the Jury whether this term had not merged in the in,
heritance, and proposed to leave it to them for their decision.
Mr. AI AItItYAT accordingly, for the plaintiff', urged that it
was probable the term had been assigned, and called on the
Jury to, presume it, in order to prevent the justice of the
case from being defeated.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE ,then submitted this question
to the Jury, observing that terms of this kind were sometimes
conveyed to the heir, though not very often; and it was for them
to judge whether there had been a merger.
The Jury, who seemed very much perplexed by the matter
on which they were required to decide, deliberated for a guar.
ter of .an hour, and then said they were ready to deliver their
verdict.
The LOUD CIIIEF JUSTICE explained, that they were not
yet called on to give a verdict for the plaintiff or the defendant
;but merely to.say whether this old term had been surrendered
to the heir.
The explanation seemed to renew the perplexities of the
jury, who again turned round to deliberate : after a further

consultation of ten minutes, the jury found that the term bad
merged.
The Loup CHIEF JUSTICE then directed them to find a
verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of fees received by the de.
fendant, which they accordingly returned.
Mr. SCAR LET T asked for leave to move fora nonsuit, if the
Court should think that the late lady of the manor had no right
to grant the office for life.
The Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE declined to do so; but left the
Learned Counsel to move for a new trial, if he thought the di•
rection wrong. He would have given leave to move fora non-
suit, if the defendant had relied on the general question of right;
but as he bad chosen to set up this outstanding term, he would
leave hint to move for a new trial.

SECONDARIES' OFFICE, COLEMAN-STREET, Dtc.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.-PLUNEETT V. BUCHANAX.

- - - -
This was a writ upon a caplets .lit legalism, to inquire what
property was possessed by Lieut.-Colonel Buchanan, a. 'dim
officer in the East India Company's service, in order that the
Sheriffs of London might seize upon it, for the benefit albs
plaintiff: The real defendants in the case were the " Compaq
of Merchants trading to the East Indies." The amount claim.
ed was very considerable.
Several gentlemen connected with the highest departments
of the establishment were present, besides those who were sub•
peened to attend.
Mr. JONES and Mr. Boatras were for the plaintiff: 1111'.
POLLOCK attended to watch the proceeding, but declined eat.
ing for whom he appeared.
Mr. JONES stated, that this was a writ issued at the suit of
Mrs. Plunkett, for the amount of the value of goods supplied
to Lieut.-Colonel Buchanan, who had some time ago been °Ut.

him. In a former proceed W

LONDON,
FRID.IY EVENING, DEC. 3, 1824.

lite Paris Papers of Tuesday and the Done
klated Wednesday arrived last night, from which
'ke have given extracts in another column. His
Zijesty CHARLES X. continues to maintain his ro-
Pflarity ; and while he displays a persevering acti-
';itY in visiting the public works in every part of
:15 capital, yet contrives to spend some hours in
he chase at Vincennes. On Monday his MA.
44yr passed through the Faubourg St. Antoine,
for the first dine since his accession. He was
Ncomed with the acclamations of all the inha-
bitant
"'S ; white flags were shown at every window,
end cries of Vim Ic Roi ! were beard from every
h)Qtalt.

We have received Frankfort Papers to the
4th ultimo. IL will be seen by the following
"ele that the Elector of HESSE has deemed it
italigable to impose a tax upon all foreign corn-
IZ'tial travellers in the Electorate employed in
tall'ing orders for manufactured goods,--a mea-
4ure
Which would seem to be principally directed
against the enterprising activity of 13ritish mer-
-o,atits.

CASSEL, Nov. 21.
Zile Government has issued a circular letter relative to the
,4 10f foreign houses, who travel in the Electorate ot' Hesse
idol orders for foreign manufactured goods, and who have
447. t° eajoYed an exemption from all public taxes, which
in t° increase the number of these travellers, to the great
"tY of the trade in the interior of the country. Henceforward
met, traveller who comes to collect orders for foreign manufactur-
-4t goods shall pay, first a tax of from 3 crowns at least to 9 crowns
lie..._tl/4t for every three months he stops in the Electorate of
th' on his commercial affairs, and this whether he remains
e whole of the three months or not. This tax goes to the
I:4leLlic treasury. 2udly. He shall pay a tax of eight Bros (about
'dog) per diem, to the poor of the place where he resides.

- have also received the Austrian Observer
of
' tthe 201,11 ult., which contains a long article
,In Constantinople of the 25th October, relative
the actions between the Turkish and Greek
fte
"8' the particulars of which have already ap-
-41'8". After this article is given a bulletin
48 the Greek Admiral Miaulis, which'in its

main facts does not differ from • the Constanti-
nople account, and the Austrian Observer con-
eludes the whole with the following remarks :
" The reports of the Greeks agree nearly with our accounts.
They prove that up to the llth of October no action of any
importance had taken place, much less any of those decisive
actions which have been so confidently announced, and we
may believe on good grounds that none had taken place in the
days imniediately yreceding, since nothing was known respect-
ing the future destination of the Egyptian fleet. It may pro-
bably winter at Rhodes, and then wait for orders front Alexan-
dria or Constantinsple. It might at all events winter in Caudill,
that great island being now entirely reduced by the forces
of the Pacha of Egypt. Though the Ottoman fleets are by no
means in such a condition as they are made to appear by the
romance writers, it cannot be denied ,that this campaign must
be any thing but satisfactory to the Porte, since, except the
destruction of Ipsara, none of the objects of such great pre-
parations has been obtained."
The Austrian Observer adds, that the official
accounts of the Greeks themselves by no means
confirm the tales told by time Correspondents at
Odessa, Scc. They make only seven ships of
war destroyed, not one of them belonging to the
.Captain Pacha's own Fleet.
It is remarkable enough that the report of Ad-

mind Ml.tuLls should be dated ipsara, Oct. 8,
from which it may be inferred that the Greeks
had again returned into the possession of that
island. We may soon expect to be furnished
with the official account of the action of the 15th
October off Mitylene, in which, according to ac-
count's from Smyrna, the Ottoman fleets suffered
another defeat, and two Turkish frigates were
burnt.

The'expectation of the removal of the French
troopi from Spain, and the preparations for that
purpose, have already produced the etTf.cts which
we predicted, viz.—revolutionary risings in diffe-
rent parts of the country. hence, when the
French troops are removed, or at least the major
part of them, it may naturally be expected that
a rebellious spirit will burst out in all quarters.
It is impossible for Royal bigotry, veugeance,
and despotism to maintain their grounds. We
find that a band, amounting to eighty armed
horsemen had levied contributions at La Guardia,
seized the Curates in several villages, and in some
places actually put them to death. A young
man, who was the former Political Chief of Bur-
gos, was at their head, and he may be considered
as a specimen of the feelings that actuate the
youthful class of the people throughout the
Kingdom. Guerillas may be expected to appear
in great force when they are released from the
apprehension of being controuled by foreign
troops. The progress of events, and the march of
knowledge, must indeed have impregnated the
mass of the people with a sense of their own
political rights, and a firm determination to as-
sert them. There is nothing in the Royal cha-
racter to entitle the Kix° to respect, and his con•
duct must have converted loyalty into detesta-
tion. Every dispatch from Spain, therefore, may
be expected to bring most important news. The
influence of the Press, in spite of tyrannical
cruelty and priestly artifice, will gradually ope-
rate upon the general mind, and the throne of
FERDINAND inevitably fall under the power of
a renovated CORTES rising on its ruins, and esta-
blishing a Commonwealth, which the assemblage
of Holy Allies will be afraid to encounter, lest
hey should in turn expose themselves to a sbni.
ar downfall.

This day the Three per Cent. Consols were
shut, previous to the January Divitlemis.

It is understood that the Legal Profession are
about to memorialize the Lords of the Treasury
on the subject of the New Courts at Westmin-
ster. They say that the projected Courts do not
contain sufficient space to accommodate the aver-
age number of Barristers and Attorneys who will
daily have to attend them. It has been observed,
that the want of exclusive seats for the Attor-
neys, us such, deprives the Bar of convenient
conference with their clients, and greatly ob-
structs public business.

Yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, a Cabinet
Council assembled ut the Foreign-office, Down-
ing-street, which was attended by the same Ca-
binet Ministers who attended the Cabinet Coun-
cil on Wednesday, with the addition of Lord
BEXLEY and Mr. lIIIKISSON. The Cabinet con-
tinued in deliberation till half-past live o'clock.

Duchess yesterday, who passed a good night on
Wednesday night, and was much better yester-
day. Her Royal Highness also received visits
from the Duchess of KENT, the Princess SOPHIA,
and the Princess FEODORE.
Dispatches, dated the 22. d of Sept. were re-
ceived yesterday at the India Board, from Persia.
Letters dated Tuesday, which were received
yesterday from Paris by express, state that
Prince PoLIGNAC was expected shortly, in order
to be present at the ceremony of opening the
Chambers, which, being for the first time under
the new reign, is to take place with unusual
pomp, and with a full attendance of the Peers
and Deputies.

A letter from Berlin, says--" On the Bth
November, the 100th Anniversary of the Great Military Orphan
Asylum was celebrated with due honours in the City of Pots-
dam. At seven in the morning all the children in the Institu-
tion, to the number of 629, were assembled and partook of
breakfast. They then proceeded to the Court and Garrison
Church, where his Majesty the King and the rest of die Royal
family attended Divine Service. At the hour of (lining the
King, accompanied by the Princes and Princesses, repaired to
the Hall, where dinner was served up, and tasted several of the

jesty presented each of the children with a dollar, coined in the
year 1024, as a token of reroembrance of the Imposing ceremony
which had just taken place." •
