IRISH CHURCH REFORM.

Lord ALTHORP moved that the order of the day for
the House going into a Committee on the Church Tempo-
ralities (Ireland) Bill be now read.
Mr. SHAW begged to be allowed, before the House
went into a Committee, to present some petitions upon
that subject. The first was a petition from the Bishop
and Clergy of the diocese of Ossoi y ; the second from
the diocese of Meath ; from the diocese ot Elphin ; from
the diocese of Ross ; from the Dean and Chapter of
Kilkenny ; from the parish of St. George, in the city
ot Dublin ; and from a parish in the county of Cork—all
against the proposed Irish Church Reform.

INSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Patrick Eustuce, a shoemaker, was discharged under
the Act. The sum for which he had been arrested was
only 1/. 65., due lo a journeyman shoemaker, whilst he
had to pay 41. to his attorney for drawing up his schedule.
Nothing of any interest occurred in the Court to-day.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is some cause of excitement in the city this
morning, owing to an account from Portsmouth, which
has the appearance of a rather warlike tendency. F states
that several ships are fitting out there for the Mediter-
ranean, which are to take on board 24 brass cannon, as
well as others, as a present to the Porte. Also that two
of our largest ships in the Tagus are to proceed to the
same destination. Should this prove correct, we have no
doubt that Russia is playing some deep game in the East
to obtain the balance of power in tl at quarter against
England and France. The report, however, does not gain
much credit in the city.

We also learn by the French mail this morning that
accounts from Constantinople state that the Porte demands
immediately the evacuation of Smyrna by the Egyptians,
ecording to the convention entered into on the 22d of
February. If be refuse, the French squadron, which is
in the Archipelago, will sail for Smyrna.
We hear that accounts are in own of a change in the
Spanish Ministry, but the particulars are not as yet known.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER entered the House shortly after twelve
o'clock.
Mr. WYNDHAM brought up the report of the Com-
mittee on the Wvmondham (Suffolk) poor Bill.
Mr. PRYME. wished to introduce a clause to provide
for the payment of the expenses attending the procur;ng of
the Act.

This occasioned some discussion between Mr. Potter,
Mr. Wyndham, Mr Pryine, and another Hon. Member,
which resulted in the recommittal of the Bill to the &line
Committee.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

THE MURDER 01/ MISS ELMES AT CHELSEA.—
It being generally understood that John Sharpe,
the self-accused murderer of Miss Elmes, of No. 17,
Wellesley-street, Chelsea, would undergo a final
examination yesterday, the office was crowded by
persons from Chelsea.
Mr. WHITE called Clifton, the police-constable,
to whom the prisoner delivered himself tip and con
fessed the murder of Miss Elmes, and asked him
whether he had procured any additional evidence ?
—Clifton had used every exertion, but he had not
any further evidence.
Mr. WHITE, after consulting with his colleague,
desired the woman Hannah Heywood to stand for-
ward, and directed her to be sworn. (This is the
woman who cohabits with the prisoner.)
Mr. WHITE observed that on the day the pri-
soner surrendered himself, she had come to the
office to complain of his cruelty and ill-treatment
towards her. He now wished to know whether she
was apprehensive of any ill•usage if he (the prisoner)
was at liberty ?—Hey wood replied that she was.
Prisoner—Upon my word and honour I will not
ill-use her again if she will forgive me. Do, Rose,
forgive me; pray do.
Rose, as he called her, was inexorable, and shook
her head, apparently not having a-very high opinion
of the prisoner's word and honour as a security.
Mr. WHITE said that, with respect to the charge
against the prisoner, he should abstain faom making
any remarks : there were, however, very good:grounds
for ordering him to find hail to answer any elkarge
that might be brought against him by Hey woo,, at
the Sessions. He should, therefore, te..quire him'to
find two sureties in 201. each, and himseg,in 40/.
The prisoner was then removed, and 0fk.40 way
to the cell implored Heywood to go and hia
bail, as lie had been 21 days in solitary confinement,
which punishment he appeared to have a great dread
of. The prisoner, after being locked up, sent to se-
veral persons to bail him, but they all declined.

THE FUNDS.

It being now ascertained that the mission of Earl Grey
to hi., M,jesty at Windsor yesterday morning has termi-
nated favourably, and that the present Ministers will con-
tinue in their places, the Funds have improved this
morning.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 908 to opened at
908 1, went up to 901 for the Account, and at present
may be quoted 908

fishery.
They state that a great number of the sealing vessels
out at that port, have returned very poorly fished, and
that the average catch will be far below that of several
preceding years. The following melancholy catalogue is
extracted from the Gazette :—" The schooner Union was
fallen in with water-logged, with masts cut away, and
several dead br,dies on the forecastle."
The Jamaica papers give an official account of a Por-
tuoese vessel being wrecked off Rocky Key, having 300
slaves on board. This vessel is from St. Thomas's, on
the coast of Africa. On the Collector of the Customs
hearing of the shipwreck, he proceeded to Old Harbour,
where he succeeded in landing 232 of the slaves.
The schooner ()live Branch was fallen in with, bottom
upwards; the schooner Lark appears likewise to have
been lost; the schooner Robert, of this port, has been
wrecked—crew taken into Bay Bulls ; the schooner Se.
line has been abandoned at sea—the crew, with about
1,700 seals, were carried into Bay Bulls, the Anna Croker
having 1,700 seals on board in the Bay of Bulls, with
loss of masts.

REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.

Mr. BRISCOE presented a petition from the mem-
bers and friends of an association for promoting
rational humanity towards the animal creation,
for the removal of Smithfield Market, for the
establishment of four markets in different districts
in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, with convenient
abottoirs, and for the alteration of the market days, so
that they may not interfere with the Sabbath.—
(Hear, hear.) The petition was of great import-
ance, whether the House considered the health of
the metropolis, or the prevention of cruelty to animals.
He believed that not less than eleven applications had been
made to Parliament, six for the enlargement of Smithfield
Market, three for better regulating it, and two for
its absolute removal. The cruelty now observed to-
wards animals was such that he knew of instances
in which cattle bad been obliged to be killed in
the streets. As to the health of the inhabitants of the me-
tropolis, there were very great objections to the vast, though
now necessary accumulation of offal in one part of the town.
The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the in-
habitants of Croydon, praying for the abolition of the
punishment of death fur offences against property.
Colonel FOLKES presented a petition from the resident
Welshmen in London, praying that the Church Service
might be read throughout Wales in the Welch language,
and for the appointment of a Welch professorship in each
of the Universities.

Mr. SHAW presented several petitions from parts of
the county of Wicklow, against slavery.
There being no more petitions to present, the SysAm
retired at two o'clock.

HATTON- GARDEN.

Yesterday John Shaw, Joseph Saunderson, and
Thomas Jones, young men of respectable appear-
ance, were brought before Mr. ROGERS, the sitting
Magistrate, fur re-examination, charged by Mr. Up-
cott, librarian of the London Institution, Finsbury-
circus, Finsbury-square, with having feloniously en-
tered the Institution, and stealing therefrom a con-
siderable quantity of plate, gold and silver medals
and antique coins, gold and silver snuff-boxes, gold
chains, seals, jewellery, and other property to a great
amount.

The prisoners also stood charged with another
robbery, on the premises of Mr. Thomas Holds-
worth, livery-stable-keeper, of Berners-mews, Ber-
ners-street, Marylebone, and stealing a silver watch,
chain, and seals, a bill for 351., 25 sovereigns, three
101. notes, and other property.
The whole of the prisoners denied the robberies.
The prisoner Saunderson has been in custody
before on charges of burglary, and was a cab-driver.
Shaw is a young man of highly respectable con-
nexions.

They were remanded, to give an opportunity to
trace the property.

other circumstances, I shall be ever hapless and cheerless
in myself, in consequence of a wrong suspicion attaching

The plaintiff, a tailor, was the holder of a bill of
exchange, dated June 19, 1828, for 1221. 10s. 6d.,
drawn by J. Wilson, at three months, upon and
accepted. by the defendant, payable to Wilson's
order, and endorsed to Parker, and by Parker en-
dorsed to Henson, who endorsed it to the plaintiff.
The defendant had given notice to the plaintiff to
prove the consideration. This he should do by
showing that Henson owed the plaintiff about 1301.
at the time he took the bill, for cloth delivered to
him at various times for three years preceding.
Miss Air, the defendant's daughter, proved tile
handwriting of the defendant as acceptor, and the
other handwritings were proved.
John Avann produced a bill of parcels for cloth
sold by the plaintiff to Henson, amounting to 130/.,
and proved its delivery.
Mr. JOHN JERVIS, for the defendant, said the
whole case was a most scandalous attempt at
fraud. Henson did not pay over the bill to the
plaintiff, for it was paid over by Parker after it be-
came due, and no consideration was given for it.
Mr. Sergeant TaixoußD—Altbough the bill
carne into the plaintiff's hands after it was due, still,
if it was given to him for a bona fide debt due from
Henson, and was not fraudulently obtained from
the defendant, the plaintiff would be entitled to re-
cover. Many reasons might be conceived why the
action was not brought before.

Mr. Baron GURNEY said it would be rather diffi-
cult to suggest a good one, and although the
Learned Sergeant had addressed the jury with
force, vigour, and ingenuity, he had not been able to
find one.

The Jury found a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. Baron GURNEY.—Such a verdict does good
Far beyond the individual case. It is always a good
thing in a court of justice where fraud is defeated.
London, England, 1833-06-06

(From the Papers of the 26th April.)

A rough day for the commercial prosperity of Great
Britain will be that on which the premature emancipation
if the slaves in the West Indies takes place ;* but the
Whigs, and they alone, are responsible for all that may
occur—they will have created the crisk—they must find
and apply the remedy. When the die is cast they will
,iiscover the noxious qualities of that of which they now
are so enamoured, and will lament in sackcloth and ashes
the prosperity which will have passed from Great Britain
never more to return.
London, England, 1833-06-06

WARDLE V. ACKLAND.

This was an action under the 9th of Ann, c. 14,
" for the better preventing of excessive and deceitful
gaming," to recover from the defendant 1701.,
alleged to be lost and paid by the plaintiff to the
defendant.

Mr. MANSELL stated the case. The plaintiff, on
the 15th of May last year, went to a gaming-house,
No. 60, Regent's-quadrant, where he played at
rouge-et-noir, and lost to the defendant 801. He
then went home to get more money, and came back
and lost 901. The second section of the Act pro-
vides, " that any person who shall at any time or
sitting, by playing at cards, dice, tables, or other
game or games whatsoever, lose to any one or more
persons 101 . and shall pay the same, he shall be at
liberty within three months to recover the money
lost from the winner by action of debt."
Verdict for the plaintiff, 1701.

COURT OF REVIEW, JUNE 5.

EX PARTE ROBERT AND WILLIAM MILLINGTON, IN

RE HUDSON.

The petitioners, who are printed calico dealers,
residing in Manchester, ;,pplied for an order of the
Court to c.nipel the assignees to the bankrupts'
estate to sell certain leasehold property which they
(the petitioners) held under a deed of assignment
from the bankrupt, in consideration of a sum of
3,800/., with interest, advanced to !tins, and that
this amount should be paid over to them. The
ground of refusal was, that the deed was given not
for real but usurious consideration, as the petitioners
had charged if per cent. more than the highest
legal interest.
On the other side it was contended that the
charge of l per cent., with interest on it, as well
as on the money advanced, was an allowance made
under the name of premium, being totally distinct
from the ordinary interest. The bankrupt was a
printer of the article in which the petitioners dealt.
They had occasionally to assist him, by overpaying
their account, to enable him in his necessities to
pay the excise the amount of duties as it was de-
manded, and, doubting his solvency, had this deed
executed for their proection; this mode of dealing,
now called usurious, is practised and sanctioned by
local custom.
The COURT directed that in case of further dis-
agreement between the parties as to the time and
manner of sale, a reference should be made to the
Commissioners, and the proceeds paid into Court,
to be applied to the benefit of the successful party
in the event of the question going before a jury, as,
from its nature, a common-law tribunal was the only
one which could finally adjudicate on it.
The petition was accordingly dismissed, the peti-
tioners intimating their intention of bringing their
action of ejectment on for trial at the ensuing Lan-
caster assizes.

7'HAME P OLICE,

Yesterday a waterman named Hyett appeared be-
fore Mr. BALLANTINE to answer a summons issued
against him, at the instance of the Watermen's
Company, for infringing the rights of the Sunday
ferry from Chelsea to Battersea, let by the Com-
pany to a waterman named Johnson.
The office was crowded with watermen, who on
the case being called on, rushed into the justice-
room with the parties interested, when George
Heath, an old waterman, commonly known as the
Thames Chancellor, and Attorney-General for the
river, who often figured at the police-offices,
advanced towards the Bench, and making a low bow
said, " Your Worship, I have an important mo-
tion to make; I make an application, through my
friend here, to postpone this here case, because,
d'ye see, there's many pints in it. Now, Sir, I
means—

Mr. BALLANTINE would not allow the Thames
Chancellor to conclude the sentence, and said his
friend was no doubt able to speak for himself.
Heath—Most certainly, your Worship, he can
move the Court.

Hyett had retained Mr. Adolphus, who, having
business in the Courts at Westmiuster, was unable
to attend, and had sent his compliments to the Ma-
gistrate, and requested a postponement. He said,
he meant to contend that the Watermen's Company
had no exclusive right to the Sunday ferry—
(Heath—" Ay, ay, that's the pint of the law")—
and the case could not be fairly gone into until he
had the benefit of counsel.

Mr. BALLANTINE would not put it off but once,
whether Mr. Adolphus could attend or not.
Heath ( making another low how)—What day
will your Worship of this honourable court name to
hargefy this most important pint of the law, be-
cati,e this here friend of mine here means to say
this—

Mr. BALLANTINE again stopped the Thames
Chancellor in the midst of his eloquent speech, and
named S vurday next for the hearing.
The Thames Chancellor then retired, much disap-
pointed at not being able to" hargefy the pints of
law." His appearance and odd manner caused great
amusement.
