LONDON:
SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1840.

In the House of Peers last night Lord LYNPHURST
was present, and was warmly congratulated on his reco-
very by several of his Noble Friends. The Noble
Lord presented petitions from Sligo, praying for the
exclusion of that borough from Schedule A., if the
Irish Municipal Reform Bill should pass into a law ;
and the Noble Lord gave notice that in Committee he
should move to exclude Sligo from Schedule A., and
insert it in Schedule B.

The Noble and Learned Baron also adverted to the
Neapolitan dispute, and stated, that by what he said in
March relative to settling the dispute, by sending a
man-of-war to Naples, he never meant to sanction such
proceedings as have been adopted by her Majesty's
Ministers.

Viscount MELBOURNE, in answer, said that it was
the intention of the Government to lay the Treaty,
which Mr.-AVGREGOR had concluded, before Parlia-
ment, and while he admitted the correctness of the ver-
sion which the Noble Baron now gave of his March
Speech, he doubted whether it would not sanction all
the proceedings of the Ministers.

The Marquis of LANsuowNE presented petitions
from proprietors of land in the neighbourhood of muni_
cipal towns, to be included within their liberties. A
short conversation took place on the Bill for this pur-
pose, of which Lord REDESDALE complained that it
did not contain the provision to which their Lordships
had previously agreed.

Earl FcrzwaLlam, in moving for a return of
1. the fiar prices of corn in Scotland for several
years, stated that his object was to illustrate
by them the ctTect of the averages of the Corn-law
in keepng up a high duty here because corn
was bad, not because it was plentiful. The Noble Earl
explained that there was a great deal of bad corn in the
market, which being sold for pigs' meat at a low price
and yet being classed as wheat, lowered the averages,
land enhanced the duty far beyond that sum which was
ustified by the price of that wheat Wilie!l was fit for the ,
food of man. The suite corn, if it suit the speculators, I
is probably bought and sold several times, so that the
averages are nearly what the said speculators
please to make them, not what the fair price
of wheat should make thtm. A short con-
versation ensued with the Marquis of SALISBURY, in
which a little personality passed, and in which the Earl
• RADNOR positively denied that he had ever said he
voxliad the English labourer to fall down to oat bread.
Evl FITZ WILL! AMI presented sever4l petitions for
I the alto ition of the Corn-laws, ineluoing one front n er-
i
chants at Liverpool and one from Hull.
!
The E..rl of MOUNTCASIIEL presented petitions
from Ireland for retainiwz the Corn-lawS,Wh'ell set forth
the disasters which would on Ireland it the people
were allowed to cat untaxed corn. The origin of such
petitions may b,. easily guessed.
Lord SEATON'S Annuity Bill was read a first time. ,

The Members of the House of Co:nmons, many of
whom have, we believe, wisely remained in thc country
to enjoy the fine weather, assembled last night in
sufficient numbers to form a House. We cannot say
that we look on their labours as so advantageous that
they could not be spared for a few d.iys longer ; how-
ever, they assembled, and a great many petitions were
presented.

Mr. VILLIEks postponed his motion on the Corn-
laws from the 12th to the 14th. Mr. O'BRIEN fixed a
motion concerning emigration for the 14th. Mr.
litratit is on Tuesday next to move fora Committee
to inquire into import duties. Mr. WARD is to bring
forward a motion relative to the Emigration Board,
when the House is moved to go into a Committee of
;;apply on the miscellaneous estimates. The Hon.
promoter of expatriaticn to New Zealand is no doubt
going to bow up the Government.
In a short conversation between Colonel WOOD
and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the latter stated that
rating stock in trade to the Poor-law was not a new law
nor a new practice, it was only the enforcement of the
of ELIZABETH.

r?p:y to Mr, FRESHFIELD, the CHANCELLOR of

the EXCHEQUER stated that Government had appeinted
gentlemen to inquire into the best port for the depar-
ture of the mails ; their instructions would be laid before
the House. Falmouth, Devonport, Pl3mouth, South-
ampton, and Portsmouth, are the ports to which the
inquiry is limited.

Some Hon. Member having seen a letter by Lord
WESTERN in the Herald, giving a lucid account of an
improvement in the mode of making chain bridges, in
which the Menai bridge is said to require repair, asked
if the statement were correct. Mr. Fox M AULE re-
plied that he never read the Herald, but would make
inquiry into the subject.
In answer to Lord MAHON, Lord PALMERSTON
stated that he bad received a letter from Naples, dated
17th of April, and that reprisals had then commenced.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then, in answer to Mr. HUME,
gave an account of our dispute with Maine relative to
the boundary between that State and New Brunswick.
We do not see from it that any blame is to be attached
to the Governors of the Provinces, but there was a mis-
understanding as to the meaning of the agreement entered
into between General SCOTT and General HARVEY.
The Noble Lord said that there was no probability of
any collision taking place between the adverse parties. In
order to avoid it, however, instructions had been sent
out to ascertain the exact position of the adverse parties,
which is to be made the foundation of a fresh agreement.
A proposal to this effect has been made to the Ameri-
can Government, and also to appoint Commissioners on
both sides to see the agreement fairly carried into effect.
We hope it will be successful—undoubtedly the propo-
sal seems reasonable. No remarks were made on the
Noble Lord's clear statement.

There being no business before the House, the Com-
mittee of Supply which stood for the night being in.
formal, the House, after providing for the dropped
orders, adjourned at Twenty Minutes past S'lc.

It seems to us very natural that the Rev. H.
STOWELL and the Rev. H. M'NEILE, and other
Reverends of the firebrand species, should treat
Sir R. PEEL with some contempt. At a meeting
of the Lancaster Protestant Association noticed in
our Paper yesterday, the Rev. H. STOWELL said,
" that the Christian public could not again put the
ark of God in the keeping of Sir R. PEEL, and
they must never rest satisfied till they had obtained
the repeal of the Emancipation Act." At the same
meeting the Rev. Mr. M'NEILE openly advocated
a persecution of the Roman Catholics, whom Sir
R. PEEL has endeavoured to conciliate. "He was
one of those," he said, who warred for peace." For.
bearance he described as indifference, and he would
treat the Roman Catholics as parents treated theii
children—flog them into what they suppose to be
righteousness. Mr. M'NEILE sets up his own
sweet, dear, delightful self as the true criterion of
all excellence, and would make every Roman Ca-
tholic model himself thereby. Sir ROBERT PEEL
makes no such pretension ; but, as a politician, he
is the creature of the priesthood. He is their ser-
vant, or he is nothing. He is great by their power,
and if he obey not their bidding, why should they
not cast him aside like a rotten stick to be burnt ?
He has no system of policy but to serve and obey
the Church ; and the priests will not be content, know-
ing that they are his masters, and hold him fast
bound in their chains, to take directions from him
how they are to follow out their evangelical prin-
ciples.

Mr. APNEILE is evidently no common man. He
has marked out a path for himself, and means
to follow it out to greatness. In Mr. °TON.'
NELL he has an example of what eloquence, aided
by the Catholic priesthood, can accomplish, and
he means to try what can be done by an eloquent
priest, He is ambitious of reigning over the minds
of Churchmen. He has all the elements which
Mr. O'CONNELL has, of success, and he adds
to them a power of 'wielding supernatural terror.
Why should such a man, who is master over his
congregation, master over the multitude--who sways
them both by his writings and his spoken words,
submit to be less than Mr. O'CONNELL? Why
should he kindle the religious enthusiasm of the
nation merely to place Sir R. PEEL in office, who,
however complacently he may now smile on the
v.Gentleman's exertions, would frown down all,
a2,itation, and encourage indifference the instant
he is in possession of place ?

Mr. NPNEILE and Hs friends are right. Sir
R. PEEL iS a mere poEtic;an—he is a decided
1 enemy to enthusiasm of every kind, and would not
enter into a compact with Mr. IVPNELLE, were he
in office. The Reverend Firebrands are become
aware of this ; at the same time they have been
made sensible of their own power ; and they are
now agitating for :heir own purposes, and on their
own principles. Hence they denounce Sir ROBERT
as untrustworthy, and petition against measures
which have long had his support, or of which
he is the author. He is not "to be trusted with
their ark." They are, by Tory authority, the true
representatives of CHRIST, the true ambassadors
of GOD ; they are the embodyment of that Church
which is of Divine origin, which is above ail
human contrivance, and to which States owe their
power, and it would be unworthy of their high call-
, ing and dignity to submit to Sir R. PEEL or any
other politician. They have been sustained b) him
and his fiends against the public ; they have been
flattered by the submission of the Tories into the
belief that the Church is superior to the State, and
the Rev. Mr. APNELLE and his friends are very
consistently acting on that doctrine.
This will effect one good. The Reverend Fire-
brands are, probably, now at least sincere. They
will cast aside much conventional humbug, and
principles will be brought face to face. The Church,
which the Tories say is the keeper of men's souls,
the only means of moulding them to virtue and
goodness, the only depositary of all good educa-
tion, will not be contented with any subordinate
place. The priesthood of the Anglican Church do
and will insist on possessing that high place the
Tory theory assigns them, and we may expect the
good cause of Voluntaryism will be promoted by the
quarrel between the priests and Tory politicians, of
which the language of the Rev. Gentlemen at
Lancaster is I he commencement.

It is quite plain, from the proceedings in Ireland,
that the agitation against Lord STANLEY'S Re-
gistration Bill needs no fanning. It burns brightly,
and sheds light over the whole empire. It is un-
necessary for us, therefore, to do more than record
the proceedings of the active agitators on the other
side of the water. The Tories are quite in a
different position. They feel the ground sliding
from under them, and they call lustily for help.
" The most pressing subject," sa)s the Standard,
and in relation to all other subjects, practically
the most important, is Lord SA N
The Times uses similar lanr,Ua uPT;hULt Ei
Yf
the evils
that Bill is to remedy be 'soinonstrous, and the
grievance it is to remove so enormous, how come
these faithful guardians of the public not to have
found this out before ? Why did they leave the
public mind entirely unprepared to brave the
results of a rebellion in Ireland as of far less
consequence than the continuance of the present
registration or the loss of Lord STANLEY'S Bill?
How short-sighted it was of them not to have con-
vinced the empire that its safety depended on
disfranchising a few Irishmen before Lord STAN-
LEY brought in his Bill to accomplish it. Their
nice sense of morality is hurt by a little Perjury
the poll-booth, though it revels in it at college: and
at the custom-house. They cannot abide a false
oath, taken by an Irishman ; but it is a venial
offence in their eye to " cut down the population"

to enrich the landlords. The people have too much
good sense to be taken in by this detestable hypo-
crisy, and If the Times and Standard were to write
on the subject daily till the month of May, 1850—
if Lord STANLEY were to bring in a Bill every
Session to alter the law—and if all the Tory orators
were to advocate it, they would not convince the
public that the disfranchisement of a few Irishmen
is of vital importance, or that the Tories have any
other than factious motives for the outcry they are
making.

As far as we have heard, few or no persons have
been called before the Committee for investigating
the issue of Bank paper, or are likely to be called
before it, but merchants and bankers. Now, with all
respect for their judgment in matters which concern
their business, giving them credit both for intelli-
gence and integrity, we cannot conclude that they
are the safest guides for the Legislature. They will
enable it perhaps to avoid making a law which would
be injurious to them ; they may instruct it how to
pass an enactment greatly to their advantage ; but
the merchants, though respectable and wealthy,
and the bankers, though opulent and ingenious, are
by no means the whole community, and there is no
reason whatever to suppose that what they consider
their advantage is co►ncident with the public good.
For example, one of the great evils of
bank-notes, when generally circulated, is the
liability to be in excess, and to cause fluc-
tuations in value. The merchant is no mo-e inte-
rested in that evil than any other part of the com-
munity ; and as his business is more affected by
bills of a large amount than by small bank-notes,
he has probably less interest in keeping the value of
the small note steady than many other classes of
persons. The banker has no interest in suggesting
what is due to the public ; he will suggest only
what is advantageous to himself. Now one of the
things most required to give security to the holders
of small notes, or the public at large, is a good law
to make those who issue them responsible for the
redemption. The notes bear on their face a pro-
mise to pay on demand, or after a certain date, and
means should be devised to make those who issue
the promises redeem them.

Every shareholder in a joint-stock bank, or
partner in a private bank, should be made liable,
(he is at present,) to the whole extent of his pro-
perty, for every promise to pay, issued in his name
or by his authority. Having once given a bank the
support of his name, he should not be allowed, by a
mere sale of his shares, to shirk the responsibility ;
nor should he be relieved from it till he had, by
publications in the Gazette, by notice fixed up at
the bank counter, and by other means, conveyed a
full intimation to the public that he was no longer
concerned in it.

Besides making the individual shareholders res-
ponsible the law should give the holders of their
promises to pay on demand a summary means of
recovering payment. They might be authorized,
for example, to seize on any property of any share-
holder or partner, wherever it might be found.
Were such a summary process united with such
responsibility, paper promises to pay on demand
would be perfectly safe currency, and the
issue might be left to the uncontrolled
discretion of the bankers. But it is not at all likely
that regulations like these, which are just, and are
tequired in the interest of the public, will be sug-
gested by the banker who has an interest in avoid-
ing them, or by the merchant who is at least indif-
ferent on the subject, if he have not a fellow-feeling
with the banker. We affirm, then, that it is due
to the public, since the Committee seek advice of
merchants and bankers, also to seek advice of
various other classes. The interest of one or two
classes is not that public interest for which the
Legislature has to provide.
We are apprehensive, we own, that the whole
inquiry proceeds on an error. What business has
Parliament, or can it have, with the credit of
merchants or monied men, on which their promises
to pay are based ? If it may interfere with promises to
pay on demand, why may it not interfere with promises
to pay at two months or twelvemonths ? Such hills
affect the value of the currency, and give wings to
speculation, quite as much as small promises to pay
on demand. The Legislature has, we know, al-
ready interfered with the credit—already given
a monopoly of it to one body, but we cannot
see, in that false step, any justification of continu-
ing a false career. Let the Legislature rather re-
trace its steps, and set credit entirely free. Bank-
notes are not money, they are promises to pay
money ; and when the State exerts its authority to
enforce the payment, it performs its whole duty. We
are for a perfectly free trade in money, in credit,
and in corn ; and should rejoice did we see any
hope of the Legislature adopting sound principles
as to either, which would be the certain means.of
compelling it to_ adopt sound principles as to
both the others.

A pamphlet just published by RIDGWAY,
written by J. W. CHILDERS, Esq., M.P., is an-
other evidence of the force of truth. Mr. CHIL-
DERS says he is one of those, comparatively few,
who advocate free trade, unconnected with the ma-
nufacturing interest ; but in proportion to the
smallness of their numbers is the efficacy of their
exertions. One landed gentleman, who cannot be
suspected of a design to rub the landlords, taking
such a view, is of an immense advantage to the
cause. His very appearance, on our side, drsAipalcs
at once a host of prejudic,,s, and opens minds for
the reception of sound opinions which are herme-
tically sealed against the strongest argument of the
manufacturers, or of the Liberal Press. Mr.
CHILDERS, though one of few, is by no means the
only landowner who hai taken our part, and taken

it from the same cause—a conviction that in the
long run the abolition will essentially benefit both
the occupier and proprietor of land.
Mr. CHILDEns gives several enlightened rea-
sons for wishing to see the Corn-laws done away,
of which we shall now quote only two :

" My next reason for desiring the abolition of the Corn-
laws. is a wish to see an end put to the jealousy between
the manufacturing and agricultural classes. Let us do
away with these law", and we do away with those bitter
feelings which, for the last eighteen months, have arrayed
one half of the population against the other—Yorkshire
and Lancashire against Bucks and Lincoln. Peace and
good-a ill aro worth many sacrifices. Let us, if possible,
put a stop to a state of things where the agriculturist be-
lieves that the manufacturer wants to make enormous pro-
fits, by causing his ruin, and the manufac•turer believes
that the landlord is starving him, in order to live in riotous
profusion.
But there is another point which I have seen very little
adverted to, hut a hich is in my opinion one of the strong-
est arguments fur putting an end to the humbug of pro_
tection—it is the effect on the agriculturist himself. We
all know the evil effects c f monopoly o:: any trade. We
can all remember the wretched state of the bilk manufac•
cure until free trade, or at !vast an approach to it, induced
the silk manufacturers to improve their machinery and in-
crease their capital. We see nos% the flourishing condition
of that trade in Manchester and Macclesfield. In the same
manner I believe that the agriculturist is at present buoyed
up by the belief that he enjoys a monopoly, that he is
saved from competition, and he is consequently unwilling
to embark machinery, skill, and capital in his business ns
he would do, if he felt that he had nothing to rely upon
but his own exertions and the capabilities of the soil he
cultivates. I do not mean to say th,it there arc not spirited
individual', nay, districts of country, where a diff,:rent
feeling exists, hut I speak of the majority of the farmers
of England. They think that protection is all in all to
them, that without it they arc ruined, that with it they
cannot be ruined. They are therefore unwilling to lay
out capital, even though they sae it would make a profit-
able return."

When even a few landowners espouse such opi-
nions, we must conclude that our cause is much
nearer a successful issue than those imagine who
are not thoroughly impressed with the conviction
that it is the cause of truth and justice, and must

I triumph. We shall perhaps return to Mr. Cult,-
•DER'S small but useful production.

Madrid Papers of the 23d ult. have reached us.
Count DE CLONARb had accepted the War
Ministry, and was succeeded, as Captain-General
of Arragon, by General iVIENDEz VIGO. General
ESPARTERO had written to the Government that
he would celebrate the QUEEN REGENT'S birth-
day on the 27th ult. by the capture of either Mo-
rella or Cantavieja—the last strongholds of Car-
lism in Spain. The garrison of Morella consists
of thirty-six Arragonese battalions and four picked
companies. In the citadel there are twelve pieces
of artillery, and upon the walls of the city eight
pieces, with 100 artillerymen. In Cantavieja only
the inhabitants remain, who are determined to de-
fend the place.

The Paris Journals of Thursday bring very
little news from Naples, and nothing of a later
date than the 22d ult. An English brig and
picket then in the Bay of Naples had captured
and seat to Malta, seven Neapolitan and Sicilian
vessels freighted by French merchants, but it was
still confidently believed that the question would
be settled without actual hostilities.
Letters from Constantinople of the Bth and 9th
ult., state that the Pacha of EGYPT is seriously
bent upon giving what annoyance he can to Eng-
land. He pretends to consider the warlike prepa-
rations against China as directed against him, and
has ordered 15,000 men to be concentrated near
Suez to guard the approaches from the Red Sea.
At that date 120 pieces of cannon were ready
to be mounted at Cairo, and upwards of 200 pieces
of heavy artillery were mounted at Acre. An
Egyptian army, 80,000 strong, was in Syria ; and
in Egypt the whole force of the PACHA under
arms amounted to seventy-five thousand, including
National Guards. The support of so immense a
body of troops was fast draining all the resources
of the country. The French Journals quote from
the Augsburgh Gazette the following paragraph,
relative to this question, upon which some stress is
laid :—.

England disputes not only the possession of Syria to
Mehemet Ali, but allows him no acquired rights of any
kind, saying that he ought to be happy to keep even
Egypt. The Viceroy declared he would restore nothing
of what he possessed. The English Consul, accompanied
by Mr. Alison, who speaks Turkish, had long conferences
with the Pacha. M Cochelet had also long conferences,
in which he urged the Peel's, on the part of M. Thiers,
to be more humble, and to abandon even a part of Syria,
provided France would secure him the teat. What is
most important in this is, that the French Cabinet is ap-
proximating to the policy of England.
Of domestic news there is little or nothing in
the papers. The KING'S fele was to be celebrated
on Friday, but no apprehension of an oneute was
entertained. On Wednesday the Chamber of
Deputies passed the Salt Monopoly Abolition Bill
by a majority of 205 against 56. This shows that
M. THIERS is not losing one inch of ground in
the Chamber, though opposed as hotly ever by the
Court organs.
The Ewancipation (a Toulon journal) of the 27rh of
April, has the following paragraph :—" We learn that M.
Lobo, the Spanish Vice-Consul at Foix, has received a
despatch from the Governor of the Seu d'Urgel, art-
nouncing that Cabrera is at length dead. He died op
the 2:41 of April at Mora, on the Ebro."
Charles Edward ummond, Prelate at the Court of
Rome and Apostolical Prothonotary, fifth Duke of Mil fort,
Count de Lussan in France, Earl of Melfort and Perth in
Scotland, Baron Cleworth in 1-eland, the thirtieth male
head of the house of Drummond, died at RoMe on th-
9ih of April, 1840. at the age of eighty-eight years. He
is succeeded by his nephew Mr. George Drummond, of
Mitten- Perth, who becomes Duke of Milfort, &e. The
title of Earl of Milfort. Peer of Scotland, was proscrit.ed
in 1695, and that of Earl of Perth has been suspended
ever since 1716, on account of the proscription, in 1715,
of Lord Drummond, who was the son of the 4th Earl of
Perth, and who, on that account, could not legally succeed
his father. The titles of all the other persons proscribed
on account of their attachment to the Stuarts, continue tu
be borne by their heirs in the direct line—Lord Airlie,
Lord Wemyss, Lord Kilmore, &c.
Lord Brougham is expected at Paris, where, however,
he will not stay more than three days, his Parliamentary
duties requiring his presence at London.—Le Consti-
tutinnnet

The correspondent of the Constitutionnel at Constairi-
nopla writes on the Bth inst. The Minister of Fi-
nances, with the sole object of consolidating credit and
assisting our merchants and agriculturists, is contemplating
a measure which will afford every requisite guarantee to
European capitalists. It will be commenced with a capital
of 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 piastres, D. O. s., and, in a
country where the interest of money is so enormotudy
high, this measure will at once put a•stop to ugury, which
is a public calamity, and the first results cannot fail to
encourage the Government to embark a much greater
capital. The advantages to be derived by the State, as
well as by individuals, from a national bank, are evident."
The Leipsic Gazette gives the following from Constan-
tinople, the Bth inst.:—" The French fleet, which has
passed the winter at Smyrna, has opened the spring cam-
paign rather ridiculously. Admiral Lalonde left with
seven ships of the line, and had hardly lost sight of the
port of Smyrna when two vessels ran foul of each other
and lost their masts. They were not cleared until they-
had been much injured, and one of the other ships got
ashore. The steamer Stamboul, which arrived yesterday
from Smyrna, saw the French ship still aground, end great
efforts making to get her off."

ROLLS COURT.7-(THIS DAY.)

JOHNSTON V. TODD.
The rep?), in this case was not concluded Rhen we went
to press. The case has now been on three days.

QUEEN'S Bk:ISCI-1;-:-----('EHIS

(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied this morning in hearing cases
in the Crown Paper, none of which were of any interest
except to the parties immediately concerned.

BAIL.UOUIIT-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice Maw's.)
THE 4th'etv V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTER.
Mr. kFt.a.r applied for a rule nii for a certiorari to
quash an order for quashing a rate made at the last Quar-
ter Sessions for the county of Gloucester.
It appeared that on the 7th J.inuare, 1840, the Corn-,
mis,ioners of the town of Cheltenham made a rate
under the Act of Parliament for the improvement of that
town. Political feeling being there, as in other places,
extremely strong, an opposition had from this cause been
made against the rate, and a wholesale system of appeal
against it commenced. Hind-bills were circuatA, con-
taining various grounds of appeal, and the rate-payers
were invited to avail themselves of them, and to rpp:,al.
The Commissioners having, in pursuance of the Act of
Parliament, as-;ambled to hear the appeals, adopt.d the cus-
tomary practice of reserving their do c sion until they had
heard the cases of the appellants indiviktually ; which
being done, and while the Commissioners were deli-
bera ing on their decision, a crowd of persons, among
whom was Strickland and other appellants, burst into
the room, overpowering the policemen, and commencing
a disturbance, in consequence of which the Commissioners
were complied to adjourn without coming to any decision,
upon which Strickland appealed to the Court of Quarter
Sessions, on a section of the Act which gave the rate-
payers the power of doing so upon the neglect of the Com-
missioner. The Chairman of the Sessions gave his opi-
nion against the power of appeal, on the ground that that
could not be said to be the neglect of the Commissioners,
which was occasioned by the misconduct of the appellant ;
but other Justices on the bench (many of whom were rate-
payers and inhabitants of Cheltenham) differing from him,
they retired for consultation, and the opinion of the Chair-
man was ultimately everruled, and a decision given in fa.
your of the appellant, and to quash the rate. The Learned
Counsel now contended that the Court of Quarter
Sessions had no jurisdiction, as that state of things did
not exist on which the Act of Parliament gave a power of
appeal to them from the Commissioners. Should this
ground not be thought sufficient to support his applica-
tion, there was another on which he submitted the appeal
could not be maintained. namely. that the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions, if they had jurisdiction in this case, had no
power to quash the rate, but merely to relieve the appel-
lant in case of over or under-rating.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS asked if by the 136th section of
the Act the certiorari was not taken away ?
Mr. KELLY—Yes; but if the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions had no jurisdiction, that section would not apply in
the present case.

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—You may take a rule.
THE QUEEN V. lIASLEM.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS gave his ar,swer on this case,
which we reported yesterday, and which was an application
for a certiorari, to remove an indictment for publication of
a blasphemous libel on the Bible, from the Quarter Ses-
sions to the Assizes. The Learned Judge said, that no
special grounds being stated in the affidavit, he must re-
fuse the application.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

Several cases occurred (and it was stated that they were
becoming too numerous), in which the interposition of the
Court was called fur, to remedy the attempts made to ob-
tain possession of property after it had been parted with
and repaired by the new owner, or judgments pretended to
have been signed on declarations of ejectment which had
never been served,

Mr. Sergeant MANNING obtained a rule to show cause
why there should not be a virit of prohibition against the
Judge of thej Prerogative Court, Canterbwy, to forbid
his granting administration of the will of a Mrs. Lanai:,
made during her coverture.
The Long CHIEF JUSTICE—CouId nut a caveat be
written out?

Mr. Serqoant MANNING replied that it was considered
(and he quoted cases for it) that in such a case the Eecle-
aitical Court had no authority or jurisdiction.
Rule granted.

TIIE SERGEANTS V. THE BAR.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL!, having moved to make a rule
absolu e, said no Sergeant had been instructed to show
cane againA it, but he iv:dot-stood his Learned Friend,
Mr. Hehton, had been—to his being hcard, however, he
objected.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Has the who'e matter
arisen since the Court was clos,.d to all but the Sergeants ?
Mr. Sergeant CUANNELL—Yes.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Then we cannot hear you,
Mr. Heaton.

Mr. HEATON begged, at least, to say a word in support
of his right to he hear,l. And he would first urge that the
actiwn had been tried where no Sergeants could be ex-
pected to go, in the Sheriffs' Court—in which the Courts
did not permit even the fee of one counsel to be allowed
with costs.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE-Aye. that accounts for
their not being there—but you must Deetounk for your being
here. —( Loud laughter.)
Mr. HEATON said he thought the action having been
tried where no Sergeant went, they could not claim ex-
clusive right to be heard upon the case now.
The LORD CHIEF JfISTICE—Why, that would equally
apply to every case in which a Seigeant had not originally
been heard.

Mr. thAToN—It certainly would, lie had, however,
another point, specially applicable to this case. Tip
action had arisen under the authority of a recent Act of
Parliament, and could not, therefore, be included in the
immemorial right of the Sergeants.
The 1,01tI) CHIEF .JUSTICE—That, again, would apply
to almost every ac ion—for the greater part of them must
have arisen under Acts passed since the privilege of the
SergeaLts was first established. You cannot be heard.
Air. Sergeant CHANNELL said he thought it was, at all
events, a case in which time should be given fur the other
side to instruct a Sergeant.
The cue stood over accordingly.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.

(Sittings in Banco.)
HUNTER V. PARKER.
This was an action of trover, brought to recover the
sum of 2,180/., the value of a vessel named the Pruv-
sian. It was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney last
tear, when a verdict was found for the defendants
A rule for a new trial having been obtained by Mr.
Cresswell, on the part of the plaintiff last term, cause
against such rule was shown by Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT,
with whom WaS RICUARDS

The vessel was built at Sunderland, and became the
prrperty of the plaintiff, who sent it out to New
Brunswick. She met with very had weather, and was
stranded at Mirimacbi in the early part of the winter—
she lay upon the b,ach until the June in the following
year. The Captain had frequently written to the
plaintiff during that period for instructions, but
received none. He, held a survey upon the ship, and
it was decided that it would be best to sell the hull, as it
was almost impossible to g,t her off, in consequence of
the lownes, of the tide. Acc,rding he gave i,istiuctions
, to an .uctioneer, and the ship was sold to Messrs. Cunard
and Co. for 7001. The captain came home, and, havitz
reported the c7reumsitaticcss to the plaintiff, he said it wds
a good sale. He settled the accounts and received the
balance which was due to him. Sc far the whole matter
seemed settled. Messrs. Cunard and Co. having many
iumberers in their employment, set them to work
upon ihe Prussian, and, after great labour got it off;
they fi'ti.d her out and sent her to Liverpool, where
she was sold to a Mr. Briggs, from whom she
passed to the defendants. The plaintiff now repu-
diated the sale made by the captain, on the ground
that the instructions given to the auctioneer, and the bill of
sale given by him were, neither of them, under seal, and
that the new registry given to the vessel by the Custom.
house Officers at Mirimichi was informal, and claimed the
ship as she now stood.

Toe Learned COUNSEL, said there were some startling
facts in this case. The plaintiff had approved of the sale
made in New Brunswick—had passed the accounts; and at
this moment he had the money—the value of the ship when
on the strand—in his pocket. He was perfectly aware of
the ships sale to Briggs, for he actually signed the bill of
'tale to him. He was cognizant of the sale to the defon..
dant, for he supplied nearly 2001. of furniture for the
ship, for which he was paid by the defendant ; yet,
now he claimed the ship as she now stood, because
in the meantime he had found out, as he thought
that there was some informality in the sale of the
%reeked ship, and the registry obtained by her at Mira-
michi. They contended that the Registry Acts did not
apply to this ship, as she was sold not as a ship but as a
wreck, and she might not under such circumstances be
entitled to the p•ivileges of a British ship, but having been
so so:d, and her registry cancelled, the sale was valid,
and the plaintiff had now no right to claim her. It was a
case of necessity for the Captain to sell the hull in the
state she was in, and that necessity' gave him power to sell
legally, and to convey the property to another.
The Coma. interrupted Sir W. Follett in his address,
as they had to meet the other Judges at one o'clock.--To
be resumed aglin on Tuesday.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-

(THIS DAY.)

IMPORTANT APPLICATION.—TN RE HORATIO HASTINGS.
The insolvent, a tailor in High-street, Poplar, vas dis-
charged some time blek on bail. The case was fixed for
hearing yesterday, but the insolvent did not make his ap_
pearance, neither was he in attendance this morning.
Mr. COOKE, who aply.arid for Mr. Prow, a tailor in
Leadehhall-street, appiied for a warrant for the appreben-
• ion of the insolvent, absolute in the first instance, and for
a rule calliog on the bail to show cause why a distress
warrant should not is,ue on the recognizance signed by
'hem. This was the first application under the Act, and
it was of some importance.
After some conversation between the Commissioners and
Counsel,

NV,,onitoppE said, among the many defects in the
Act was this, that the hail I al no power ,o render the in.
s,dvent, although ho was at out to leave the country.
The COURT ultimately ordered a warrant to issue to the
bail for the apprehension of the intiJiveilt and a rule on the
bail to show cause why the reeogoiz trice which they en-
tered into fur 1641. should not be put in ~etc
The warrant Wig grant..d in the course of the m. ruing.

Prince Livven and pritwe Soltikotr took their
rat lure last night fur St. Petersburg direct.

NEWS FROU PORTUGAL.

( From a S'cond Edition of the Morning Post.)
LIsUON, APRIL 23, FoUR P.M.
The departure for England of the steam ship United
Kingdom, last from Gib:altar, in three days, affords me
the °ppm turrity ofaddreas;ng 3ou. The Tagus landed the
London ruin! of the 18( h at Oporto, at 7 a.m. this morn-
ing, so that we may expect her here by daylight to-morrow.
The opposition of the majority of the Chartist party to
the existing Administration continues to develop itself.
Letters received from Oporto yesterday describe the dis-
cipline among the troops of that garrison as absolutely
impaired, and the arrival of Count das Antas, to assume
the military command, has been hailed as a blessing.
Th Gallant Count had hardly arrived in time to
prevent some disgraceful scene cf riot and attempt
at murder; the son of General Schaulbaek and two
other office's, having escaped with their lives, but
very badly wounded by others of their colleagues of the
Municipal Guard.! assisted by many rioters. Eighty ar-
robas, say 2.5601b5. of gunpowder had been captured by
the police in the very act of being clandestinely introduced
into the town of Avein, where, as well as in other places,
forge portions are supposed to be concealed.
A disagreeable occurrence took place the other morning
in one of our principal streets, between Captain Ximiner,
a gallant A. D. C. of Marshal Saldanha, during the late
civil war, and the Deputy for Angola, M. Meneses, pre-
prietor and editor of the " Paquete de Ultramer," in c-n-
-quence of a paragraph in said journal which censured the
Marshal's appointment as first A. D.C. of the King, Don
Fernando, tie Queen a consort. Blows were exchanged,
and the Hon. Deputy had the worst of it.
We have received accounts from Angola to the 29th
January, stating that the Portuguese corvette Urania,
under the command of Captain Amanal, a gallant one-
arm officer, had captured on the 18th, at the very mouth
of the river, the Brazilian brig, under Portuguese colours,
Nymphia, belonging to A. P. Corton Sarnion, of Rio
Janeiro, while in the act of receiving from nine large
boats 268 slaves, which had been safely lodged in the
castle of St. Michail : the number of slaves lately rescued
in this manner by the Portuguese cruz-rs, amounted to
932, which were all at Angola The Isabel Maria cor-
v,.tte had arrived on the 17th January from Benguela.
Considerable discontent prevailed in the colony.
The following is said to be the census of the continent
of Portugal tor 1831, viz.—there were 827,947 dwellings,
with 3,334,747 inhabitants, of whom 513,017 were under
seven yeas of age—the births had beer. 99,097, the mar-
riages 23 598, and the deaths 67.541.
The religious feelinns acid projudices of the Lisbon in-
habitants were put to the leq on I ist Saturday, being the
last day in Lent, by the Dot Carlos Trwarre's be rig c a-
verted into a masqu-rade f,r theevening. It was
likewise on that d,.% that a resoce'abl"
British resident
here abandoned the doetrinrs or the Church of kngland
and embraced those of Rom,, an event which has caused
some sensation lire.
