HANOVER, MAY 19.—That the separation
of Brunswick will cause a considerable loss to our revenue is
now confessed even by those who before deded it, and also
that this loss will be particularly felt just now on account of
the increase of our military establishment ; it is, however, af-
firmed that it will not be necessary to increase the taxes. The
surplus of the indirect taxes, which in 1835 was estimated at
140,000 dollars, is at least between 600,C00 and 800,000
dollars.

LAW INTELLIGENCE
COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 28.

• -
The Court disposed of several cases from the new trial,paper
this morning, but none of them contained any matter of public
tnterest.

CLARIDGE V. LATRADE.

This was an action for the infringement of a patent
for preparing asphalte pavement. The case was tried
before Lord Denman at the last London sittings, and a
verdict was had for the plaintiff. A rule for setting aside
the verdict on the ground of its being against evidence
was subsequently obtained.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was now heard in support
of the rule. The ground on which the present rule was
obtained turned upon a proviso in the letters patent, by
which it was stipulated that if at any future time the
privileges and benefits conferred by the patent were vested
in any numbers ofpersons amounting to 12 for their use and
benefit, then all the benefits and privileges conferred
by these letters patent should cease, determine, and be
void. The Learned Counsel contended that the patent
having been sold by Mr. Claridge to a Company, the
proviso must be considered as in operation, and conse-
quently the patent right no longer exit d.
Sir F. PoLLocic was heard on the other side, and at
the close of the arguments of the Counsel, the Court sug-
gested that it had better be turned into a special case for
the consideration of the Court.

EXETER.

MAY 27. —Mr. Divett paid us a flying visit yesterday, and
leaves by the mail to-day. Sir Thomas Acland is also down. 1
Every thing here wears a very feverish aspect ; but the Tories
have not yet brought forward a man for this city. We still
consider Mr. Divett's seat safe, and in the growing confidence
of the movement, about which there can be no mistake. We
begin to talk of a second man on our side, if Sir William
Follett's nervous friends will have it so. Mr. Jardio, a china-
merchant, has just completed a most triumphant canvass of
Ashburton, and has gone up by to-day's mail. The borough
was represented by Mr. Lushington (brother of the Doctor)
and it will now pass into the hands of as good a Reformer.
The Reformers called a meeting at Torquay in support of
the Government. They first intended to hold it in the open
air, but were induced to abandon that in consequence of the
resistance of the Tories. But the latter, trying to steal a
march upon them, the Reformers then withdraw to the open
air, and carried all their resolutions triumphantly. The tenor
of the resolutions was decided in unqualified approbation of
the Government and its measures, and unequivocal hatred of
the Tories. Sir Charles Ekins presided, and the chief speak-
ers were Messrs. Garrocs, Vivian, Mark Philips, W. Clarke,
jun., W. Prowse, and Captain Field—men repreenting all sec-
tions of the Liberal interest.

RUIVIOUHS 01' THE DAY.

Isaac Lillicrap, the Englishman who was arrested
in France for importing a new infernal machine into France,
has been most kindly treated, nothing, in fact, could exceed
the attention which Lillicrap met with in the Conciergerie.
As he could not speak French, the Judge of Instruc-
tion sent a young gentleman attrched to the Attorney-
General's office, who is conversant with the English
language to chat with him. There may be
some good reason for this. Louis Philippe,
of course, wishes to make the forts proof
against domestic as well as foreign enemies, and Lillicrap
it appears, has furnished a plan for the purpose, in the
shape
.of a four-barrelled pistol, and the model of a fort,
in which the artillery is protected against the firing of
the besiegers.

EXECUTION OF THE BISHOP

OF ERMELUND'S MURDERER

Rudolph Kuhnapfel, the tailor, who murdered Bishop ,
Von Hatten and his housekeeper, in the episcopal resi-
dence of Frauenburgh, was executed early on the morn-
ing of the 7th inst., on the hill about a mile from that
town, near the Elbing road. The judgments pronounced ,
in both instances by the criminal tribunals concurred in
sentencing him to suffer death by the wheel, commenc-
ing at the lower extremities, and proceeding upwards
(von unten cuff). The sentence was confirmed by the
Royal assent, dated the 15th ult., to which a new form
was given. In the late reign it used to run thus—" We
have read the sentence, and order the execution." The
present King has adopted the followinc, phrase—" We
have read this sentence, and shall leave free course to the
law." The prisoner behaved in a very regardless man-
ner for a long time, and showed nothing like remorse or
contrition until after the sentence of the Court in the
last Resort was made known to him. A marked alter-
ation then took place in his conduct. On the 28th ult.,
when the Cabinet order for his execution was read to
him, he was so agitated that he could not speak. He
then willingly received the spiritual assistance of the
priest. The day before the execution he confessed, and
received the sacrament. The Elbing Zeitung gives the
following account of the execution :
At half-past four in the morning the prisoner was re-
moved in a cart from Braunsberg under a secure escort,
and arrived about six o'clock at the place appointed for
the execution.
A crowd of persons, exceeding 10,000, had assembled
by day-light from all parts of the diocese, and it is wor-
thy of remark that more than one-half of the collected
mass consisted of females. The delinquent having
alighted from the car in a very low state, a restorative
draught was administered to him, after which he was
conducted to the scaffold. There, on his fetters being
struck off, he kneeled down with the accompanying
priest and prayed. The chief of the Braunsberg tribu-
nal then read the sentence, which ordered the execution
by breaking on the wheel from below upwards, and
closed with an address to the three executioners present
in these words ;—" And now I deliver him to you for
the due fulfilment of this judgment."
On hearing this the malefactor looked round to the
priest, sank again on his knees, and ejaculated a short
prayer. Then rising he laid himself, with calm resolu-
tion on the scaffold, and, refusing the assistance of the
executioners, placed his limbs in the required position.
This done, he said with a firm voice, " God have mercy
on my poor soul!" One of the executioners covered his
face with a cloth. The terrible operation by the wheel
now commenced. In ten minutes the wretched man was
dead, and the body was deposited in a coffin prepared to
receive it. The spectators looked on in a calm, orderly
manner, preserving a silence suited to the awful scene
before them, and the crime of the sufferer. When all
was over, they dispersed quietly, but apparently under
the influence of deep emotion.

EARL BROWNLQW AND THE
METHODISTS.
" TO THE RIGHT HON. EARL BROWNLOW,
" Gainsborough, June'2s.
" LORD,—Having been required to give up our
possession of the small chapel which we had occupied
for many years at Torksey, we find ourselves greatly
in want of a new one, for the use of the Wesleyan Me-
thodists in that village. Your Lordship is fully aware
that the chief part of the people called by the name of
Methodists, like their highly respectable founder, the
Rev. John Welsey, have ever been distinguished by their
-zealous and firm adherence to Conservative principles.
We, the undersigned, therefore, beg leave to inform your
Lordship, that in our judgment it would greatly pro-
mote amongst our people the interest of the Hon. Mr. Cust,
who is expected at Gainsborough on Tuesday next, if we
could be allowed by your Lordship to say that you will fa-
vour us with a small piece of land somewhere in the village
of Torksey for the above purpose. We should be glad to
purchase, it—:o have it on a lease—or in any way in
which your Lordshiplinarbe disposed' to grant our re-
quest.
The number of members or the Wesleyan So-
ciety in the Gainsborough circuit is, at this time, up-
wards of 1,300, and out of this number there are twenty
who reside in Torksey. Hoping that your Lordship
will be able to favour us in this instance, and also to
oblige us by a reply before Tuesday the 29th instant,
" We remain, my Lord, your Lordship's most humble
and obedient servants,
" HENRY RANSEN, Wesleyan Minister.

" T. A.'FARMER, -Stewards of the So-
" THOMAS SPOUNCER, ciety of Wesleyan
" JOHN WATKLNSON, Methodists.
" N.B.—There is a report in circulation that your
Lordship does not fully admit the principles of religious
toleration, as now recognised by the laws of England,
which, by granting the above favour, your Lordship
would enable us most happily to resist and refute."

BELL V.

This was an action of trover to recover the value of
20 sacks of flour, which the defendant had appropriated
to his own use. The plaintiff was a miller at Colches-
ter, and the defendant was a carrier in the same neigh-
bourhood, and was generally employed by the plaintiff
to convey flour to his agents, Messrs. Hunter and Co-
ventry, in London. When the goods were sent, they
were either fetched direct from the vessel by Messrs.
Hunter, or landed at some of the wharfs, in the name
of the plaintiff, till they were called for. In the month
of May, 1840, the plaintiff sent 20 sacks of flour by a
vessel belonging to the defendant, and which were lauded
at Nicholson's Wharf, London-bridge, in the name of
the defendant. They remained there till the 14th of
July, when they were delivered by an order from
the defendant to a factor of the name of Berry, who sold
them at 545. per sack. It was proved that when goods
were put on board, verbal orders were generally given
respecting then' ; and that on the voyage in question
the captain, finding that Messrs. Hunter did not send
for the flour am usual, landed it at Nicholson's, without
giving any directions about it. A demand and refusal
to give up the property before the commencement of the
action was also proved.
On behalf of the defendant it was proved that on the
2d July the plaintiff assigned over his property for the
benefit of his creditors, and it was contended that the
conversion of the property by the defendant did not
take place till after that period, consequently the plaintiff
had no right of actjon.
The LEARNED JUDGE was of opinion that the con-
version did not take place tiff the 14th July, when the
flour was handed over to Berry, consequently the
plaintiff must be nonsuited.
Plaintiff nonsuited, but leave was given to enter a ver-

treaty, such subject or citizen shall be held personally
responsible for the same ; and the harmony and good
correspondence between the two nations shall not be in-

the same shall have been either refused or unreasonably
delayed.
Fourth—The present treaty shall be approved and rati-

President of the United States of America, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate of the said States ;

c, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
• 13I11—The name of Hall appearing upon the Tory side
ut Ireland has surprised many ; but, Sir, to any person
Well acquainted with that country, it cannot be matter
°f
disappointment. The well-informed Irishman, he
who has travelled Ireland from her very centre to her
2 extremity, must be well acquainted with many of Mrs.
'Lairs " Sketches," which in truth breathe love of
Now, Sir, I am an ardent admirer of my
!ountrywom an' s talents, but I am by no means willing to
fortunate
admiration of the writer to do an injustice to my
4wortunate country.
y Ireland's miseries, Mrs. S. C. Hall would make
tee. World believe, are owing to the procrastination of
r countrymen. As well might we tra2e the poverty
of the Spitalfields weavers, and set down the squalid
.tisery that surrounds them, to their own want of exer-
on, as to say Irishmen have the power of bettering
their condition, when it is notorious that she has no voice
14 the Parliament of England.
But Ireland will never want tyrants while England
can find a degenerate Irishman willing to for4e fetters
or his unfortunate country. If anything is wanting to
trove it, I refer the doubtful to the fact of Mr 3. Hall's
ushand offering himself as a leader to the vile Orange
faction,,...„ which would annihilate every vestige of evil and
• horrors,
liberty, and make Ireland a paridemodoni of
.4orrurs.
Mrs. Hall's writings, though pleasingly descriptive,
have ever had a tendency to sink the moral and physical
Character of the Irish in the estimation of the unlearned
. her readers, who had not, of course, the opportu-
-Int‘tofjudging for themselves, by tours of pleasure, &c.
.:,Yhatever might have influenced such policy, it is not

on ; but at present the knowledge of the planetary mo-
tion, though possessed by a few, is so complete that it
is more desirable .to spread it through the mass than in-
crease it in the few. We are far from supposing that
nothing more is to be discovered or learned, but nature,-
generous and free, abhors monopolies, and decides
against aristocracies, in science, as well as in politics.
We quite agree, therefore, with Dr. Charming is be-
lieving that this is the age of universality or diffusion,
but we also believe that this is in the order of nature, and
that mankind can only extend their knowledge and
science, and increase their wealth and power, by diffusing
pretty equally amongst the mass the stock already ac-
quired..

to cissolve the Chamber of :the States. The King establishes
by a series of reasoning that the Constitution voted and pro-

Chamber will be speedily convoked.

JULY 18.—Letters from Ilessel state that the wreck of a
large vessel has been seen on the coast near Norway, in No-

drifted to the Norwegian coast. It is supposed that the ice in

DUNCROFT V. ALBRECHT.

This case came before the Court upon appeal from the
decision of his Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, overruling
a demurrer filed by the defendant to the bill of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff filed his bill for the purpose of
obtaining the specific performance of an agreement
which had been entered into between the plaintiff and
the defendant, by which, it was alleged on behalf of the
plaintiff, the defendant agreed to sell to him fifty shares
in the London and South-Western Railway Company at
the price of 461. per share. To this bill the defendant
put in a demurrer, asserting that no agreement in writ-
ing had been entered into by him to sell the shares in
question, and that therefore the plaintiff had no equity
entitling him to call for the interposition of the Court.
On the case coming before the Vice-Chancellor, his
Honour overruled the demurrer, and from that decision
the present appeal was brought.
Mr. Richards and Mr. Mylne appeared on behalf of
the appellant, and Mr. Wigram and Mr. Pigot were in
support of the order of the Court below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, without calling upon the
two latter gentlemen to address the Court, gave judg-
ment, affirming the decision of the Vice-Chancellor,
with costs.

COMPLAINT OF THE LICENSED PILOTS.

The licensed pilots of North Shields complain bit-
terly of a gross infringement on their rights, by a num-
ber of unlicensed persons taking charge of vessels, which
have in some instances gone on shore and received more
or less damage. Encouragement has been given to this
unlawful proceeding, by masters of vessels allowing these
men to pilot their vessel to or from the Downs, although
informed by the regular pilots of their having an un-
qualified person on board, endangering the safety of the
vessel, and putting their own lifein danger. This sys-
tem has been carried, it is said, to such an extent, that
many of the Newcastle licensed pilots are in a'state of
starvation. There is a penalty attached to this act which
both the unlicensed pilots ,and the masters of vessels are
liable for, we believe. The regular pilots should there-
fcl.e assert their just rights, and punish their aggressors.
