POOR-LAWS.

Col. EVANS moved for returns re'ating to out-door
rel:ef, under the New Poor-law Act.
POSTAGE OF PETITIONS.

Mr. EASTHOPE-asked whether the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, who had not been in the House when
a conversation took place on the subject of the postage
of petitions, whether he could inform the House what
was the state of the law- respecting the postage of peti-
tions ? Was it the case that petitions weighing- more
than six ounces were chargeable with postage?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that under the law before the Penny-pestago came
into operatiOn, all petitions under six ounces in weight
were exempted from postage ; and the law on the sub-
ject is still unchanged. The practice of the Post-
effiee was net to receive petitions of very great hulk ;
but petitions of a fair and reasonable siza were carried,
and, if charged with postage, the money was again re-
turned. If the Postmasters were now under any mis-
apprehension on the matter, he would take care to set
them right.
Lord JOTIN RUSSELL moved that the House
should on Monday next reso:ve itself into a Committee
on South Australian Acts.—Agreed to.

In reply to Colonel SIBTHORP,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that be would lay
on the table of the House to-morrow a copy of the re-
turn regarding the appointment of Mr. Vizard at the
Home-office.

In answer to another question from Colonel SIB-
THORP,
Tue CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Eta ted that if the miscellaneous estimates were laid
_on
the table any time before Easter, the usual rule would
be complied with ; but he had no doubt they would be
presented to the House in the course of a few days.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished to stme, with regard
to the course of business on Fri,lay, that it was pro-
posed by his R;ght Hon.-Friend the President of the
Bolrd of Trade to bring on upon that day the Colonial
Customs Bill. The third reading of the Turnpike Ike's
Continuance Bill could then be moved, and afterwards
the second reading of the Bill relating to County
Coroners.

CAIRNS V. ANSTRUTHER.

The arguments in this part-heard Scotch appeal were re-
sumed to-day. The case came before their Lordships upon ap-
peal from certain interlocutors of the Court of Session, by
which that Court found tho appellant liable in costs to the re-
spondent, be having been mandatory at one time for a person
of the name of Rogers, deceased, in an action brought by him
to recover from the respondent the sum of 5001., he having
put his name to a bill for that amount, which bill eventually
turned out to have been fraudulently concocted by a person
named Gordon, for the purpose of enabling him to extort mo-
ney from those who had signed it. The action abated in con-
sequence of the death of Rogers, and upon that abatement
the Court of Session pronounced the interlocutors complained
of. On the part of the appellant it was contended that the
action having abated by the death of Rogers, and his repre-
sentative not having been made a party, there was no existing
process on which the interlocutors could be pronounced.
The LORD ADVOCATE (with whom was Mr. Anderson) ad-
dressed their Lordships on behalf of the respondent, contending
that the appeal was incomietent.
Mr. ANDERSON followed on the same side, and was address-
ing their Lordships when our Reporter left.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY).

TURNER V. TRELAWNET.

The reading of the evidence on behalf of the plaintiff in
this part heard case, the facts of which we gave yesterday, oc-
cupied the Court the whole morning.

ROLLS COUR.T-(THIS DAY.)

PRICE V. BAUGHAII.

This case came before the Court upon further directions.
The only matter that had to be decided was the construction of
the residuary clause of the testator's (Mr. Courley) will. Mr.
Long Wellesley had been made a party to the suit, as being
lord of the manor of certain copyholds belonging to the tes-
tator, but had since been dismissed. The case occupied the
whole of yesterday and part of to-day. As the arguments
were purely technical the case is unworthy of public notice in
a Newspaper.

DE WEEVER V. ROCHFORT.

This was a bill filed by Amelia Johannah De Weever, an
infant, by her next friend, against Colonel Rochfort, the exe-
cutor of the testatrix, Hannah Nixon, widow of the late Col.
Nixon, of Demerara, claiming a legacy of 2,0001. The testa-
trix had misnamed Miss De Weever in her will, and it had,
therefore, been necessary for the plaintiff to go into evidence to
show tbat she was the person intended.
The COURT thought the plaintiff had established her right,
and decreed accordingly.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor sat in the House of Lords to-day for
the first time since his recent indisposition. His Lordship
looked rather thinner and paler than usual, but far better than
could have been expected, considering the severe illness under
which he has been labouring for some weeks past.
The other Peers present were the Duke of Argyll and the
Earl of Selkirk.

CRIMINAL LAW.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that
he should shortly ask for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the law relating to the administration of crimi-
nal justice in certain boroughs in Scotland.
ABSENCE OF MEMBERS UPON LEAVE.
The RIGHT HON. AND LEARNED GENTLEMAN Said
he would take that opportunity of vindicating himself from
the charge made against him last night in his absence,
old he was surprised that aoy Gentleman could make
such a charge.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was
stated last night that he had set a bad example, in
shrinking from the execution of his duty. But the
fact was, that he last Session claimed an exemption
from attendance in Parliament, on the ground that he
had to conduct an important Government prosecution
in a remote county. The Right Hon. Member for
Tamworth concurred with him, that he was perfectly
justified in asking for leave of absence under those cir-
cumstances. As soon as the trial was over he returned
to town, and attended constantly in the House for the
remainder of the Scssion.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. PEEL entirely concurred with what fell from
the Right Hon. and -Learned Gentleman—(Hear,
hear)—and hoped, for the satisfaction of his feelings, his
(the Attorney-General's) name would be placed upon
the first Committee.—(Laughter.)_

A CHASE At"l'Elt A THIEF.

An occurrence of a rather ludicrous character fc°
place at Vsrttford, on Monday. 'Fry° men, stranger
6
to the town, watched an opportunity when no one wash'
the place, to go into the shop of Mr. Fulwood,
chandler, at Watford, and they were in the. Act
rummaging the till, when the servant accidentally eale,
in, and sAed them what they wanted ; they
some evasive reply and attempted to get out ei
:Top, and when the servant endeavoured to stop
!,hey forced their way past her, and ran off. An al ryt:
was immediately given, rid West, the constable of 1"„
ford, soon came up, and having ascertained the`
two men had gone down the torn in the &ratio
,1
Rickmansworth, he set off after them, aceonq;aeicil
about Carey or fifty men and boys belongirg
town, dogs, Ste. The fugitives having 'a good start, gt°
some distance b, fore their pursuers, and they tool'o
the fields at the back of the town, and ran for n'arlo
a distance of two miles, like deer. They then "I,
to flag, and their pursuers being close on their trBC'fil
they doubled back again, and endeavoured to or'ce;
themselves under a hedge. Their followers, how-lvea;
were too keen for them ; they were quickiy drivo °"0
of cover, and they again started towards the .1141/,(1
steathroad, and when they came to the fencing re7ef
Cashiobury, the Earl of Essex's seat, they sprung '4l,
and took to the wood, hoping that they should beer,u
•to conceal themselves in it. The constable, howevet
was close upon their heels, and when they bad
,gbat,
some distance in the wood they took separate 4
and the officer, followed the one nearest to him, arldiubt
as he was in the act of climbing uo a tree he ejtfah-
him by the legs, and pulled him down and secured rci
in a very exhausted state ; he was escorted
to Watford, and safely lodged in the cage. '1 be Per
toner was subsequently taken before the Rev. Mr. v--:e
pel, a Magistrate for the county of ILrts, when he gtto
his name William Dawkins, and said that he came lf'to
Wendon to look for work. The charge of felonY
clearly made out against him, and the Magistrate COO,
mittod him to St. Alban's gaol for trial. Ins comp
nien succeeded in getting away from his pursuers.

CAUTION TO INNKEEPERS AND COAIIIERCIAL GENTLE-
MEN.—Absconded from the One Fell Inn, I3ury St. Edmunds,
where he had been staying 10 days, on Monday night, Jan. IS,
1811, without paying-his bill, a person who gale the name
of Teasdale, but whose real name is supposed to be Clifford;
he is five feet eight or nine inches in height, light com-
plexioned, prominent nose, with a remarkable red spot
on its tip. Age, twenty-two, or twenty-three. Had on,
when he left, a black frock-coat, striped Valentia waistcoat,
and dark trousers (all rather the worse for wear), a new drab
Brighton braver Taglioni great coat, made to fit loosely.
Previously to his departure he broke open, in a bed-room ad-
joining the one he occupied, two boxes belonging to Mr. Cass,
of London, takin; therefrom a new pair of trousers, a brace
of pistols, and other minor articles, with a chased gold ring,
having a black onyx stone in the centre, the whole of which,
with the exception of the ring, in the hurry of his departure,
he left concealed in his bed.
He left behind a carpet bag, containing a few articles of
wearing apparel of no value, and some books belonging to the
hotel, which he purloined. Mr. Bridgman has placed this case
in the hands of the police.
Mr. Cass gives this caution to commercial gentlemen and
innkeepers, and hopes it may prevent any recurrence of so un-
plet.sant a circumstance.
P.S.—lt is supposed the motive was cash, which he ex-
pected to have found in the boxes, and which he was fortu-
nately disappointed in. He had seen M Air. C. in possession of
money.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FRIDAY.—Since our last
week's report, a large business has again been done, but as re-
gards American descriptions, we have observed a gradual
failing off in the spirit of the demand, the market being at the
same time more abundantly supplied. Yet, though it is very
difficult to obtain the extreme rates of Friday last, ho'ders are
on the whole unwilling to give way its price. The transac-
tions in Egyptian arc large. Speculators having bought freely,
consequently an advance of about id. per lb may be quoted.
Brazils are very firm at our last quotations, which are also very
fully supported, for Sea Islands and Surats. Speculators have
taken 8,000 bales of American ; 3,500 Egyptians, and 1,206
Surats ; the sales to- day are 4,500 bales of all kinds. The
market without animation.

CANTERBURY ELECTION.

We arc gratiGed by being enabled to state that the want
of co-operation between Mr. Villiers and the present Cal-
didato in the Liberal interest, Mr. Henniker Wilson, no
longer exists. The Tory will be kept out. The announce-
ment was made at a public meeting last Thursday, when
Mr. Villiers said he had at length the pleasure of assuring
them that " the most satisfactory intercourse" had taken

of the Blue party ; and had " the most satisfactory gua-
rantee" that, it his friends would now come forward and
support Mr. Henniker Wilson, he should in return be
supported honestly and fairly at a general election, in con-
junction with Mr. Wilson, by the united strength of the
whole Blue party.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE HON. MR. SMYTHE AND

MR. WILSON.

Tice following correspondence has passed between Mr.
Smythe and Mr. Wilson :
" Mr. Sutton. on the behalf of Mr. Smythe, demands
an explanat'on from Mr. Henniker Wilson of the following
expressions made use of by the latter in a speech delivered
on Tuesday last, viz., Parliament is his profession, diplo-
macy his trade, and humbug his language.' Mr. Sutton
also complains that the whole tenor of the speech was in-
sulting to Mr. Smythe."
" Mr. Frederick Villiers, on the part of Mr. Henniker
Wilson, disclaims having had the intention, in the above
mentioned sentences, of saying anything personally ofien-
sire to Mr. Smythe, or what would be painful to his feel-
ings as a gentleman. Mr. Villiers makes the same dis-
claimers as to any other part of his speech. Mr. Villiers
further expresses Mr. H. Wilson's regret that his speech
should have been understood by any one as personally
offensive to Mr. Smythe."
The correspondence is signed " Frederick Villiers"
and " Frederick Sutton."
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smythe both met at a benevolent
ball last night, but the former only remained there hal! an
hour.

We understand from a good source that, at
u Born-
bey, satly "nse—,
aplace in the Portuguese settlement of Mozam-
bique, a short distance to the south of that town, a disco-
very
has been made of some valuable coal mines. This
discovery is of great interest, not only to the Portuguese,
but to the British inhabitants of India, as it will tend to
insure a supply of that necessary article, in many of the
contingencies of war, not only to steam .boats on the Indian
ocean, but also at Aden and in various parts of the Red
Sea. The quality of the newly-discovered coal is said to
be excellent. Specimens have, as we hear, already arrived
in Bombay." Should the coal turn out well and the mines
easily accessible with plenty of labour handy, this discovery
may really, as said, be of the greatest importance in ex-
tending steam navigation all ever the circumjaccnt coasts
of the ocean as well as of the rivers.

THE QUEEN V. LORD CHURCHILL;

Sir W. FOLLETT moved for a rule nisi to set aside an
order obtained by the Attorney-General to change the
venue in this case from Oxfordshire to Herefordshire.
This is to be a trial at bar, the lands in dispute lie in Ox-
fordshire, and the question is, from what county the jury
should come. The Attorney-General bad obtained the
rule absolute in the first instance as part of the pre-
rogative of the Crown, to lay the venue in any
county it pleased. The Learned Counsel now
contended that there was no precedent for such
an extension of the prerogative of the Crown, and tl.c
Court would not in these days favour any attempt for such
a purpose. The Cro•Nn had a right to try in the Exche-
quer or any other Court, and could as a matter of right
demand a trial at bar; but there was no authority for say-
ing that it had a right to hate a Jury from any other
county than that in which the lands in dispute were situ-
ated.—Rule granted.

acting in and for the DIVISION of MIDDLETON.
in the County of LANCASTER, in PETTY SESSION
assembled at the Flying Horse Inn, in Rochdale, within the
said County.
The Memorial of the Overseers and Select Vestries of the
Townships of Butterworth, Castleton, Spotland, Wuerdle
and Wardle, and Wardleworth, in Meeting assembled, at
Tweedale's Hotel, Rochdale, January 1, 1841.
Humbly show eth—
That since the very heavy increase of the County-rate,
mainly occasioned by the introduction of the new constabulary
force, the Overseers and Colleetors of these Townships have
found the greatest difficulties in collecting the Poors-rate, so
as to meet the various demands upon it.
That the Ratepayers are serious sufferers from this additional
tax, which, if persevered in, will involve in ruin many indus-
trious families.
That your Memorialists are of opinion that the condition of
the people in these Townships requires that some means of
alleviating their distress should be adopted and nothing appears
so likely to forward that object as relieving them from the ex-
penses of the above-named force.
That this meeting being fully assured of the inutility of
the new force, and more especially being convinced of the
inability of these Townships to support so extravagant an es-
tablishment, humbly beg that your Worships will be pleased to
take such steps as to you may seem most advisable, for the abo-
lition of the new Constabulary force in this County.
And your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
Signed on behalf of the Meeting,
SAMUEL STAN DRING, Chairman.

FORE:GN.

The French Government is resolved to give the press
no quarter: On Saturday the editor of the National was
again tried' on a charge of exciting hatred and contempt
against the King's' Government. He was found guilty,
and sentenced to four months' imprisonment; and the
payment of a fine of 5,000 francs.

The Impartial du Nerd has been seized for an article
attacking-the inviolability of the King's person. The
'.King's position must be indeed precarious if he cannot
afford to overlook the attacks of an obscure provincial
paper like the Impartial.
The Gazette- d'Aitheroe is also about to be pro-
liecuted for exciting hatred and contempt of the Govern-
ment. In fact nothing, but prosecutions of the press are
heard of in-the ProVirices: All the small men in office are
delighted with the authority given them by the Ministe-
rial Circular to wreak their petty vengeance upon the
independent press of France.
The Temps- asserts that some notes have been received
at the Foreign Office from the Spanish Cabinet, which
have given rise to a rather warm corresponfleice, in
consequence' of which it has been decided that M. Sal-
Tandy shall not set off to assume his functions as Am-
bassador at Madrid until these difficulties shall be re-
moved. Our contemporary gives us no information as
to the subject of this misunderstanding, which we have
not seen mentioned in any other quarter.
There was a turn out of the paper stainers
.of Paris on
Friday in consequence of the low rate of wages. Their
numbers exceeded 2,000. They had several interviews
with their employers, but the result is not stated in the
French papers.
The official tables of the prices of wheat in French
markets, up to the end of last month, show the highest
to have been 21f. 87c. per hectolitre in those of Tou-
louse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ; and the lowest
17f. 68c. in those of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, Hume-
bon, and Nantes.

. The price of bread, for the first fortnight of the pre-
sent month, is fixed at 35 centiines the kilogramme.
During the last month, 2,323,323 t were deposited in
the Savings' Bank of Paris by 17,278.: contributors, of
whom 2,190 were new, and 2,231,000f..wei•e• drawn out.

Tho Spanish papers mention the occurrence of serious
riots at Valladolid and BadajoS, during the anniversary
of the September movement. judges, priests, and
women ►•ere grossly insulted by the mobs. The rioters
were all Carlists.

Advices from Lisbon of the 27th ult., mention the
failure in that city of the Spanish house of Corpas, Gar-
cia, and Co., for about 120,0001. sterling. It Was sup-
posed that the English cotton houses would be the chief
losers. The Brazilian firm of D 3 Silva and Co., also
stopped payment.

MISCELLANEOUS.

To-morrow is the anniversary of the martyrdom of St.
Faith, in the year 290. She appears to have been a
great favourite in England in early times, many churches
having been dedicated to her honour, several of which
still bear her name, as well as the vaults under St.
Paul's, London.
The Lord President of the Scottish Bench has re-
signed. Mr. John Hope, or the Lord Justice Clerk, are
mentioned as succesors.

Tho human heart beats more than 5,000 times an

A general return of the population census of the
kingdom has been presented to Parliament, and ordered

The next great Anti-Slavery Convention in London is
appointed for the month of June, 1843.
Episcopacy is advancing largely in Scotland. A col-
lege at Perth is to be immediately built, for the education
of the sons of the Scotch gentry of the episcopal persua-
sion, and Mr. Gladstone, M.P. for Newark, is said to
have been one of the most active on the occasion. This
is one of the results of the Non-intrusion rebellion.

An inquest was held yesterday at Hayward's-heath,
on the bodies of the four persons killed on the London
and Brighton Railroad on Saturday, when the Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death," and expressed
their opinion that the four-wheeled engines used on the
line are not safely constructed, and recommended their
discontinuance.
Mr. Fraser, the well-known publisher of Fraser's Ma-
gazine, died on Saturday last, after a protracted illness.

PARLIAMENTARY.

In the House of Peers last night the Earl of Minto de-
fended and explained the promotions recently made by
him before leaving the Admiralty.
On the third reading of the Exchequer Bills Funding
Bill, Viscount Melbourne attacked the policy of his op-
ponents. He described their financial scheme as a
failure, and one which they, after turning him out of
office, ought not to have adopted. He insisted, too, that
they ought to be prepared to introduce some measure for
the relief of the public distress, and happily ridiculed
the pompous demand for time to mature measures, by
asking whether the Ministers were looking for the phi-
losopher's stone. He did not oppose the Bill.
The Earl of Ripon defended the delay of Ministers,
and assured his Noble Friend that he too must have had
a loan had he remained in office, and had carried his
budget.
The Duke of Wellington was apparently nettled at
Viscount Melbourne's remarks, and declared that he
would not follow his schemes. The Noble Duke said
that Sir Robert Peel had found out other deficiencies,
which were not mentioned in the Budget.
The Bill was read a second time. The Poor- law
Commission Bill went through a Committee. Other
Bills were forwarded a stage, and several petitions for
the repeal of the Corn-laws were presented. Lord
Brougham announced his intention of calling their Lord-
ships' attention to the subject of slavery to-day. Their
Lordships then adjourned.
