This WAS tt motion on the part of Lord Strath-
more to appoint the Trustees of his Lordship's
extensive estates the receivers of the rents and
profits, in the room of the late Gentleman who
had filled that office. The motion was opposed
by the incumbrancers, and his Lordship declined
granting the motion until the Trustees had in-
spected the receipts of the late receivers,

has marched against these people, but we have not heard with
what success.
It is not known who is to command the two armies now form-
ing. Gen. Sewell or Gen. Pritzler would be proper persons for
the first; but for our own nobody ventures to guess. Gen.
D-- is not exactly the map to, inspire confidence ; the Corn-
wander in Chief Is, I suppoic, too high in rank, and Gen.
Ochterlony is too infirm. I should like to see Sir Gabriel
Martindell brought on the staff again, and., so would the Army
at large.
Amongst the ordertlately ismueel,--is one forbidding officers
to trade, and saying, that any one who is proved to have acted
contraiy_to,it, not by Court but " to the satisfaction
afthe Governor General in Coiliseii," shall lie considered, ipso
facto, as having forfeited the service ! This is looked upon as
not only unjust, but insulting; for it seems to inter, that a spi-
rit of traffic exists to a great extent, which is most untrue.—
Some officers to the eastward (in the islands) may have
traded ; some others have bought landed property in
Calcutta ; and some others, including the Military Secre-
tary, have bought up bills in the bazar : but this is all : and it
is shameful to stigmatise a whole service, on account of these
few individuals.

" Another order has I ttely taken away the patronage of
small appointments for soldiers and non-commissioned officers,
from heads of departments, and thrown them all into the hands
of the Adjutant General—a very unjust, and, on ninny ac-
counts, a cruel regulation."

.thus ignorant. It is, therefore, in the Journal des Debate,only 1
contempt for its readers.
In this position of Boyer, with respect to Spain, there is
farther it great difficulty in the way of any kind of treaty, for
would not a treaty of commerce be a kind of recognition
Does the Journal des Debate think the measure would be well
chosen for such an act? We are frightened at the incredible
heedlessness of the Editors of that Journal. It is at least as
celebrated as their versatility. In truth, we know of nointerest,
public or private, absolutely none, which can counter-balance
the considerations which crowd upon us, and which it is suffi-
cient to point out to an enlightened and prudent policy ; and
perhaps, before we engage on so grave a subject, we should
wait for the third generation of this anarchy, which has yet seen
only two phases—the despotism of Christophe and the Presi-
dency qf ,Boyer.

AGRICULTURAL RETORT FOR JULY.

The whole of this month has been highly fa-
vourable for the Ilay harvest, and we suppose, that in the
memory of the oldest person, the quantity of tine fodder that
has been stacked was never exceeded ; the abundant rain dor-
the latter part of .Tune increased the quantity beyond all
precedent. The tine weather has been equally favourable for
the Grain, and should it continue, the whole of the Corn will
be on' the ground before the Ist of September.—Barley and
nye are both begun upon, the grain is of fine colour anti toler-
able good weight.—The Wheats are beginning to sliew their
fine gold colour, and present a most cheering and gratifying
view to the cultivator; the market is steadily coming down in
iro,t articles, from the present appearance of abundance.--The
Turnips promise well, and we have not heard of any complaint
of the fly ; the hoeing is getting on very fast, as the hornets
dread a shortness of hands, the other crops being so very fat-
ward.—ln the early part of the spring we noticed the sitrenority
of the Saintfoin over the • Lucerne ; as an early plant it is Cer-
tainly superior, but in the more frequent cutting which the
lucerne will bear, it strews a decided advantage over the Saint-
foin. We have it from good authority, that a farmer in our
neighbourhood has kept nine working horses in capital condi-
tion all this season upon one acre and a half of Lucerne ; this
is a tact deserving the attention of all agriculturists.--Meat and
Flour at length begin to feel the lierieral expe:tation, and arc
gradually becoming nearer the price that farmers get for liVt!
beasts and grain.—The Hops have quite recovered dieniaelvea,
and promise a full average crop.—Apples, Pears, Ana all fruit
are very abundant, inure so in sonie parts than has been known
for years.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(This DAY.)
THE REP. HR. FLETCHER.
This important cause came on for bearing
day, on the motion of Mr. WETHERELL, to re-
strain the Rev. Mr. Fletcher from preaching la
Albion Chapel, and also to restrain the Trustees
from appropriating the rents and profits in any
other way than expressly directed by the Trust
Deed.

In the course of the arguments, whiclt occupied
the whole of the morning, the LORD CHANCEL
Lott expressed a doubt us to the right of the Sy-
nod to overrule the whole congregation of the
Chapel, contrary to the terms of the Trust
Deed ; and this intimation fully proved that
Mr. Fletcher has a ♦ery strong phalanx of
friends ; in fact, it was with difficulty the plea-
sure felt by a very crowded Court, mostly, of
course, of the Rev. Gentleman's admirers, could
be restrained from publicly expressing itself.—
fter much argument, the LORD CHANCELLOR,
observing on the importance of the question,
postponed final judgment.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the. Judg•
went of the Court upon this defendant, who was
convicted before Mr. Baron Graham at the
Maidstone Assizes. The offence charged him
with having assembled with others in Kent, and
seizing two men, who were tarred, feathered,
placed in a cart, and paraded through the streets,
to the imminent danger of their lives.
The defendant's affidavit stated that he was a
poor man with a large family, and had already
been six months in confinement. .

Mr. Justice BAY LEY, ill Massing Sentence, told
hint his offence was a highly improper one, and
could not he tolerated in a civilized country. The
Judgment of the Court was, that the defendant
be imprisoned for nine calendar months in du.
House of Correction at Maidstone, and give sure-
ties for five years—himself In WI., and two in
101. each.

THE KING.

llPtxoson, Nov. IB.—During the present week his Mt.
JESTY has suffered no pain from his slight indisposition, and
has regularly dined with his suite; but owing to the damp state
of the atmosphere, the King has not taken any outdoor exercise.
To-morrow his Majesty will leave the Royal Lodge in his
travelling carriage for Carlton Place, where he is expected to
dine. ills Majesty's stay in London will not exceed Tues.
day or Wednesday next, when the King will return to
the Royal Lodge.—Rumours are In circulation that his Ma-
jesty will proceed to Brighton on the 3st of December. Al.
though we have no authority to contradict such statements, yet
we can confidently assert, that up to the present period no an-
rangententato that effect have taken place.--Sir Chas. Stuart
arrived yesterday at the Royal Lodge, where he had an audi-
ence of his Majesty.

SMITH AGATN9T SMITH.

Mr. W. Carmichael Smith appeared personally in Court this
day, and stated, that he admitted the matriage (with Mrs.
Smith) as pleaded ; but otherwise contested the suit negatively.
lie also prayed leave now to bring in, in due form, certain al-
legations and exhibits which he would crave to have read ; and
would then submit to the Court's decision as to whether they
should be to-day argued or not.
The COURT intimated that that would not be the regular
course; but asked Mr. Smith whether he did not before appear
by Counsel; and whether he intended to do so in the future
conduct of his cause !

Mr. Smith—No, my Lord : I am of opinion, that when you
have a bad cause, the ingenuity of counsel, is very desirable to
assist you through it; but when you have a good and clear
cause, as I have, you only run the risk, by employing Counsel,
of having a variety of things min-stated, and many points ne-
glected that may be of the utmost importance to your interests.
—(A laugh.)
The allegation now stands for admission next Court-day.

THE REV. A. FLETCHER.

Testerday evening, at 7 o'clock, a numerous
and highly respectable meeting of the friends of the above Mini.
ster was held at the Albion Chapel, Moortields. The business
of the evening commenced with prayer, after which Mr. Fletcher
addressed the meeting, and stated, that he regretted that the
Lord Chancellor had not yet pronounced judgment in the case
now pending, but he would read an account of the proceedings
as far as they had gone. He then read an account of them front
a newspaper, and commented on different parts of the account
as he proceeded. Ile would abstain, as far as he could, from
making any remarks upon the subject. The affair had, unhap.
pily, excited great sensation, and had caused painful feelings
in his mind. The conduct of the Solicitor-General was entitled
to his wannest approbation; he had conducted himself like a
gentleman throughout the whole proceeding, and in every way
worthy of the high legal rank he held. If he (Mr F.) were to
submit to the sentence of the Synod, he would deserve to have
a mill-stone tied round his neck, and to be cast into the sea.—
(Great applause.)—Mr. Fletcher: " I ant afraid you will have
an intbrmation filed against you for clapping your hands."--
Mr. F. then continued. Not one of the Counsel engaged
against him had gone so far as to justify the sentence of the
Synod. If they had approved of it, they would publicly have
asserted that opinion ; but instead of that, they called upon
the Lord Chancellor to confirm the sentence, whether right or
Wrong. It appeared to be the intention of the Synod to de-
prive him of the use of his pulpit, not for a limited time,
hut for ever. The meeting of the Synod was held in the
dark hour of midnight, a very appropriate time for such abo-
minable proceedings, which would be a disgrace to the Go.
vernment of Algiers. In this country, nothing like it had
happened since the time of the famous Star Chamber, one of
the most tyrannical courts ever instituted. Retributive justice
would, he hoped, one day overtake them ; and lie could not
help fancying that morning, when he heard their Counsel ad-
dressing the Court, that he saw written on the walls, " Meat
mow tekel upharsin—Thou art weighed in the balance, and
found wanting."—Mr. F. concluded his speech, by requesting
the attendance of his friends in the Court of Chancery on Mon-
day next.—Mr. Anaii addressed the Meeting at considerable
length, calling upon them to support their Minister in his pre-
sent arduous struggle. The Meeting then adjourned to blon-
day evening.

HUMAN LIFE.
The seven first years of life, man's break of day,
Gleam of short sense, a dawn of thought display ;
When
soft
springs have bloom'd his downy cheek,
His soft and bashful meanings learn to speak :
From twenty-one proud manhood takes its date;
Yet is not strength complete till twenty-eight :
Thence to his five-enui-thirtieth life's gay fire
Sparkles, burns bright, and flames in fierce desire ;
At ,Potp-fwo his eyes grave wisdom wear,
And the dark future dims him o'er with care:
With forty-nine behold his toils increase,
And busy hopes and fears disturb his peace:
At fifty-six cold reason reigns entire,
Then life burns steady, and with temperate fire :
But sixty-three unbends the body's strength,
Ere th' unwcary'd mind has run her length :
And when from seventy, age surveys her last,
Tired, she stops short, and wishes all were past.

ThE THEATRES.

UAYMARKET.—The comic sketch, entitled
Matrimony, was represented last night. Pre.
vious to the performance of The Beggar': Opera
Ir.
LEE addressed the audience in favour of
Mrs. VErrats, who was to perform the part of
Macheath, stating that she was indisposed, but
would exert herself to the utmost of her power.
This apology, which was interrupted ire its pro-
gress, under the notion that she was not to per-
form at all, was well received on the conclusion.
In our opinion an apology should rather be made
for her appearance in the part at all, as it is im-
possible to suppose that such a Dandy looking hero
could be appointed to command a band of despe-
radoes. if Mrs. C. Josms were not an excellent
Lucy, Mrs. VEsTats should perform the party
and MELnos: should be the Machcath. Tins
arrangement is much better, and we wonder that
it did not strike the Manager. Miss PATON, in
Polly, acquitted herself admirably both in acting
and singing. WEST would have been better in
Filch if he were not inclined to do so much.--
The Beggar's Opera possesses so much real hu-
mour, connected with a true delineation of life,
that it stands its ground with all its licentious-
ness and vulgarity.
ENoLisu OPERA HOUSE.—Der Frieschatz,
with all its terrific wonders, and awful incauta-
Gong, continues to be very attractive. It is
Su ,cer-
taioly one of the most impressive of the per-
naturals that the stage has exhibited. This
potent Romance was last night collbwed by the
very amusing little °Rom of The'Padlock, and
which, so far as pii.tnm4x sons concerned in
Leander, Miss Povi in Leonora, and TAY-.
LEUttE iu Diego, was respectfully supported, and
we may acid also Mrs. GROVE,III Ursula. The
new addition to the theatrical Corpsof this house

CUTTING AND STABBING.

ridge Was put to the bar, charged with malici-
ously . cutting and •stabbing James Thistleton,
(son of one of the officers of Hatton-Burden)
on Monday last. Both,boys were in the employ-
ment of Mr. Strohm!, the King's Printer,. amt.)
Aldridge having gone home to. tea, continued
to rule the younger Thistleton, .with several
Other boys, followed him home, and traced him
until he stabbed a knife he had in his band..itito
the breast of the Youth, who fell and exclaimed,
You have killed me! The wound was an inch and
a quarter deep, but the boy being declared out
of danger, the father said, he had no wish to
press the heavier part of the charge, as, in tlio
event of the boy having died, the case could not
have amounted to more than manslaughter. The
prisoner was held to bail accordingly.

THE DISCOVERY SHIPS.

The following is an Extract of a Letter
from an Officer employed in the Expedition
dated on hoard the Ilecla, Whale Fish Isle,
Davis' Straits, July 2:—
" As the transport is about to leave us, I address a few lines
to let you know how we get on. We put in here on the Kith
ult. tor the purpose of clearing the transport and sending her
home again. You would be really surprised to see us; I never
in my, life could have imagined a ship so full, and I ion satisfied
it will take us one year to cat the ship tolerably clear. Only
fancy to yourself forty-four quarters of fresh beef hanging
about the vessel in diligent directions,. Ilow much- more fa-
vourable every thing looks this trip than it did this tithe three
years • we are now in 69 degrees north latitude without having
met the least obstruction, and during the whole time we were
out before we never got higher titan 70. In short, we were at
least 18 months before we could reach our present parallel,
and we certainly have a very different prospect. Our means
are good beyond every hope,. our Captain able and willing,
and, take my word for it, we shall either do something or lose
every thing.—l am now writing in our Mess, at twelve at
night, with as good daylight as you have in England at noon.
We shall, of necessity, have to pay for this next winter. The
place we are at present laying at is a Danish settlement; the
inhabitants are composed of Danes and Esquimaux ; the latter
are; in my mind, very inferior to our acquaintance of last
voyage, their mixture with the Danes appearing not to have
improved them. Their language and dress arc much the same,
and I am not aware that they differ in any material points.—
We shall leave this either to-morrow or next day, should the
wind permit us. I think in all say trips I have never seen a
more barren spot titan the place we are now laying at, the
Kremet oars or the land being-c9ypred. Wlth:.Stiow. And such as

COURT OF CRANCER,Y—(Tifis DAY.)

ADVENTURES OF A 26,0001. BILL
BOWYER AND CO. P. CUNDIFF AND OTHERS.
This cause, which excited considerable inte-
rest, and which has occupied the attention not
only of the Vice-Chancellor but of his Lordship
also, was again brought before the Court yester-
day, and to-day, on a motion prayiug to discharge
the order of the Vice• Chancellor of the 25th of
May last, by which the said bill of exchange
was ordered to be returned into Court. The
short facts of the case were, that a young Gen-
tleman, resident at Paris, had been induced to
give a bill of exchange on his just corning of
age; that bill reached this country, and even-
tually was placed in the hands of the firm of
Messrs. Eccles, for the purpose of sending it to
Paris for presentation. On arriving at Paris,
however, it was found that it did not bear the
proper stamp, and the French Government
claimed no less a duty than 1400/. on it, and re-
fused to return it until that was paid. Messrs.
Eccles having become bankrupts, the defendants
were appointed their assignees, and the assets
arising under the commission not being sufficient
to pay the 14001., they now applied to rescind
the order directing the return of the bill. After
much argument, the .Loan CHANCELLOR said
the parties had undertaken to return it, and were
bound to fulfil their engagement. If the bill,
however, were again brought into Court, the
Court would take care it did not go out again
without the parties being heard as to their claim
for the payment of the French duty in obtaining
the return of the bill.
London, England, 1824-04-09

rNEW ES.]

Yesterday the business transacted in the
Funds was not beyond the ordinary extent, but
the prices continue in a state of gradual advance-
ment ; and there now appears little doubt but
that Consols will reach par. They were yester-
day done qt 9q, and for the new account at 974;
the former closed at 96f, and the latter at 97.—
Money continues so abundant, that the premium
on India Bonds is from 86 to 90; and Exchequer
Bills 595. The Foreign Securities continue to
occupy much of the public attention. The
Bonds, which experienced the greatest va-
riation in prices yesterday, were Chilean and
Colombian. The former, upon which there
has been lately paid a dividend of three per
cent., closed at 85; and Colombian Bonds, after
reaching 92, left off at about 907.—Nothing
further has transpired as to the parties who will
obtain the contract for the new Loan, respect-
ing which there exists so much interest ; but it
is expected that the same parties will be named
as have had the preceding. -It is fully expected
that within a short space of time a number of
new Loans, bearing 4 per cent., will be brought
out, for the purpose of buying in those Bonds at
present bearing a higher rate of interest, and the
present abundance of capital is considered as af-
fording a favourable opportunity (Or the respec-
tive Governments to effect the reduction upon
advantageous terms.
