"Bedford-row, London, Sept. 12, 1832.
" Sir,—l begin to apprehend that the mutual object
the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter will not
be attainable but through the medium of the Church
Building Commissioners. It will require some conside
ration to determine what proposition to lay before them
on the subject. It may also turn out that the Duke's
apprehension of its being necessary to let a twelvemonth
go round is well founded; and this would be so much
waste time, for the chapel is ready. At the same time
also that it might assist the Duke in determining defini-
tively what he may be inclined to do relative to endow-
ment, &c., if an experiment could be first made how the
chapel is likely to answer. Under these considerations
I should beg to suggest that it would be better to request
of the Bishop, in the first instance, the license as if it
were a proprietary chapel only, which need not by any
means imply thereby that the idea of endowment and
consecration is abandoned. The opening of the chapel
in this way will, in the course of a few months, probubly
enable the Duke to judge what might be the best ar -
rangement to propose for the ultimate adjustment.—l
am, &c., "JOSEPH MABERLY."
_ _

t'ie Bishop of Exeter upon the Duke of Somerset was
the most uncalled for and unprovoked that he ever re-
membeted ; he stated that the object of the Duke of
Somerset undoubtedly was that the chapel should be
endowed and consecrated, but in the meanwhile it
should be licensed for the performance of divine
worship, according to the rites arid ceremonies of the
Church of Engl -nd, but that when the Bishop revoked
the license and to deprived Mr. Shore and his family of
the means of existence, the Duke thought the act of
the Bishop so tyrannical and unjust that he caused the
place to he registered as a dissenting chapel according
to the Act, and allowed Mr. Shore still to officiate as the
minister, conducting the worship, as it had always been
carried on, according to the rites of the Church of
England, anti to the satisfaction of every one who had
been in the habit of attending the chapel.
Mr. Baron PLATT then summed up, and told the jury
that there were two questions for their consideration-
-Ist, Whether the defendant had published the libel im-
puted to him; and, 2dly, whether the matter was
libellous. That after they had heard the law upon the
subject laid down by him, it would still be for them to
decide upon the question of fact, whether the matter
was or was not libellous. The defendant had pleaded
that he was not guilty, which was the first issue,
and also that§he was justified in uttering the libel,
because it was true, and the publication of it was
for the public benefit. It would therefore be
ior the jury to decide whether or not the Duke of So-
merset had entered into the engagement contended for
on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, that he would for
ever set apart the chapel exclusively for the performance
of divine service according to the rites and ceremonies
of the Church of En ;laud, and had accepted the license
upon that undertaking; or whether, as contended for by
the defendant, he had accepted the license as an ordinary
license granted to a proprietary chapel, in which case it
would be quite legal that the Duke should afterwards
divert it to any secular purpose that he might think
proper. The Learned Judge said that there did not
seem to be any question as to the first issue, because the
publication of the libel was admitted; and it they should
be of opinion on the second issue that the Duke of
Somerset had broken his engagement with regard to the
chapel at Bridgetown, in that case, as the Bishop would
have uttered that which was perfectly true in the House
of Lords, the justification of the libel would fail, aid it
wou'd be their duty to find a verdict for the Crown upon
that issue. .

ADMIRALTY, Kum 23.

The following promotions have this day taken place,
consequent upon the death of Vice Admiral Frederic
Warren:—

Vice Admiral of the White Richard Curry, C. 8., to be
Vice Admiral of the Red.
Vice Admiral of the Blue Samuel Butcher to be Vice
Admiral of the White.
Rear Admiral of the Red John Surman Carden to be
Vico Admiral of the Blue.

Rear-Admiral of the White Honourable Sir Anthony
Maitland, C. 8., K.C.M.G., to be Rear-Admiral of
the Red.

Mr. Barnes wrote in reply—
" Sir,—l have taken the earliest opportunity of lay•
ing 'befcre the Bishop your letter of the 12th. The
Bishop desires me to say that the Duke of Somerset.
having stated his wish and purpose to endow the chapel,
and to convey the same for consecration, the Bishop will
license the chapel till that purpose can be conveniently
carried into effect. The Bishop has further directed me
that, having himself seen the chapel, he dispenses with
the issuing any previous commission of inquiry. It is
only necessary, therefore, that the Duke should sign a
petition to grant a license, and I will draw the form anl
send it to you. For this purpose you will be good
enough-to direct a plan of the chapel to be furnished,
showinc, the ground plan and scaling, &c., and be good
enough to give me the most concise statement possible
as to the title that the Duke has, as tenant in fee, or of
what other estate.—l am, &c.,
"RALPH BARNES."
To that letter Mr. Maberly wrote, the following reply,
and upon this letter the question turns, as contended by
the defendant.— .

Rear-Admiral of the Blue, Sir Francis Augustus
Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., to be Rear-Admiral of the White.

Captain Sir Augustus William James—CiiffOrd;lari.,
C. 8., to be Rear-Admiral of the Blue.
WHITEHALL, MARCH 11.

The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Wilde, Knt., Lord Chief
Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pieas at West-
minster, has appointed William Crawford Newby, of
Stockton-upon-Tees, in the county of Durham, Gent.,
to be one of the Perpetual Commissioners for taking the
acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married
women, under the Act passed for the abolition of fines
and recoveries and for the substitution of more simple
modes of assurance, in and for the county of Durham,
also in and for the north riding of the county of York.

The jury retired for upwards of an hour, and when
they returned into court gave their verdict for the Crown
upon the first issue, and for the defendant upon the
second issue; this is equivalent to a verdict for the de-
fendant upon the whole indictment. The verdict was
received with shouts of applause, and spread through
the city like wildfire. Very short!y afterwards a pro-
cession was formed, which proceeded through the city
with a band and flags.
