TO PRINTERS.

TO BE DISPOSED OF, a Large Quantity of
SECOND-HAND TYPE, consisting of Longprimer,
Burgeois, and Brevier, lately used in The Sun Newspaper. The
paper being now enlarged, and printed with entirely new type.
Apply at 112, Strand.

We now present THE SUN to our readers in the
enlarged form which we promised at the beginning of
the Session. The delay arose entirely from unavoid-
able circumstances which we could not contemplate,
and the disappointment of the public cannot have been
greater than our own.
From the additional facilities which the increased size of
the paper ajbrds, together with new type and superior
machinery, we hope to render THE SUN still more
worthy qf general support, for we appeal not to any
party, but to the public at large.
It is our intention, as opportunity permits, to devote a fair
share of the paper to Literary and Scientc, as well
as to other purposes ; but as " doings" arc better than
"sayings," we shall leave it to the public to judge
THE SUN according to its future deserts.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have only two foreign arrivals of mails this morning, the
French and Ostend, but no ship letters.
The Barbadoes papers state that the House of Assembly
of that colony, on the 3d of May, agreed to the following re-
ply to a message from his Excellency the Governor, respecting
the transfer of the power of punishing slaves from the master
to the magisterial body :
" The House of Assembly respectfully beg leave to acknow-
ledge the receipt of his Excellency's message, to the 9th inst.,
submitted to the Hague, suggesting that as the act for the
abolition of slavery would come into full operation on the Ist
of August, it would be extremely desirable if the legislature
would immediately pass a short bill, abrogating the power of
inflicting punishment on slaves by owners and others, and
transferring that power to the magistrates of towns and
parishes.
" In reply to which the house begged to inform his Excellency,
that as no slave act empowers owners to prefer complaints to
magistrates against their slaves for misconduct, instead of ex-
ercising their own authority, the house had reason to hope
that recourse will be had to such authority in all flagrant cases ;
but as a general measure, the house conceives that it would
not be practicable unless the magistrates of the island were
placed on a different footing, by being remunerated with sa-
laries instead of fees, a change much to be desired, but which
the advanced state of the;session prevents their entering upon."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.

Sittings at Guildhall, before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a
Special Jury.)
SHEPIIARD V. TAYLOR.

This was an action brought by Messrs. Shephard and Co.,
against the defendants Messrs. Taylor, Son, and Gibson, for
the recovery of a sum of 5761. due for goods sold and deli-
vered. The parties were manufacturers, extensively engaged
in the woollen trade, and resided at Manchester. The goods
had been sold to a person named Hulme, in the employment of
the defendants, and the defence was that Hulme was not the
agent of the defendants, but was at the time acting upon his
own account.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE appeared for the plaintiffs, and Sir
JAMES SCARLETT for the defendants.

The only witness examined was Hulme, who deposed to his
having been in the employment of the defendants ; they after-
wards gave him charge of the concern, under a written
agreement, by which he was to receive 1201. a year for con-
ducting it, with a proviso that if it prospered he was to receive
half the profits. There was a postcript to the agreement in
these words,--" We will make a transfer of the entire business
at any time to Mr. William Hulme," and this was signed by the
defendants. The witness denied that the postcript was at-
tached to the agreement at the time he signed it. He had
since become a bankrupt, and his estate had produced no divi-
dend to his creditors.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said the question the Jury had to try
was, whether at the time the goods were sold the witness
Hulme was in the employment and acting as the agent of the
defendants, or whether he was carrying on business on his own
account. If they believed the former, the plaintiffs were of
course entitled to recover; if the latter, then the defendants
were entitled to a verdict. The agreement which had been
produced formed the basis of the whole transaction, and the
Jury would direct their particular attention to it and to the
evidence of the witness, as their verdict would depend upon
the credict they would attach to the evidence of that witness.
The Jury, after deliberating for about ten minutes, returned
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 576/.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 2.

Lord ROLLE presented four petitions from parishes in
the county of Devon for protection to the Established
Church.
_ _

The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from
Shrewsbury, and parishes in Derby, for the better obser-
vance of the Sabbath. He meant to say that the legislature
of a Christian country was bound first to prevent, as, far as
it could, any gross, notorious, or scandalous profanation of
the Sabbath ; and, secondly, to afford to the lower classes
of the community those opportunities of religiously observ-
ing that day which were necessary for their welfare on
earth and salvation in the world to come. The petitioners
were in favour of the bill now on their lordships" table
waiting for a committee, but were opposed to certain clauses
of it allowing travelling, the keeping open of public-houses,
and labouring in various trades on the Sabbath. He had
often given it as his opinion that unless the legislature could
prevent the rich profaning the Sabbath in those points it
would be very wrong to attempt putting any such restraint
upon the poor. He had no doubt, however, that Sunday
labouring and trading was carried on to a much greater
extent than was necessary.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented peti-
tions for the better observance of the Sabbath, from Hythe,
Folkstone, Sandling, Roverhead, and other places in Kent.
The Marquis of SALISBURY presented petitions for
protection to the Church, from Croydon, Whitchurch, and
other places.

110 USE OF COMMONS.

-
The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock.
The Welland Navigation Bill was read a third time.
The amendments of the Lords to the Stony Stratford Bridge
Bill were agreed to.
PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL.
Upon the motion of Mr. LENNARD, the House resolved
into a Committee of the whole House upon the bill, Nl,'
BERNAL in the Chair.

Upon the second clause being read,
Lord HOWICK proposed an amendment to the effect that
the punishment of death should not be abolished where anY
violence was committed, or bodily, harm inflicted.
Mr. LENNARD objected to the amendment, as it would
in effect destroy the whole value and efficacy of the bill. The
Hon. Member referred to the following analysis :

UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he held in his
hand a petition from a large number of respectable inhabi-
tants of the town of Kingston-upon-Hull and its vicinity,
with respect to the law as it at present stood in reference
to the stamps upon newspapers, and calling for a repeal of
the Acts upon that subject. He should have entered more
at large into this question, if the House could by the usual
forms of Parliament originate such a measure as that con-
templated by the petitioners,:it being a subject touching the
revenues of the country. No doubt a simple repeal of those
Acts might originate in the House, but it was properly a
matter for the interference, in the first instance, of the
other House of Parliament. Their Lordships might very
properly be solicited by petitioners to concur in such a mea-
sure, and thus afford relief. The petition in question was
signed by persons of high respectability—merchants and
other influential persons residing at Hull—warm admirers
and supporters of the Church and State. He would not
read the petition at length, but state what the general ar-
gument of it was. He said, and no doubt existed of the
fact, that the bad part of the press of this country—the
flagitious publications which had issued from the English
press within the last eight or ten years, almost invari-
ably consisted of publications upon unstamped paper
—(Hear, hear, hear)—and the petitioners contended
that this was unfair to the general trader, who paid to the
revenue ; indeed the respectable trader was exposed to such
a competition by this means, that he was unfairly dealt
with. In the unstamped publications were to be found
blasphemy, sedition, and obscenity ; and the :parties who
thus catered to the worst passions of the worst part of man-
kind reaped an advantage which ought not to be tolerated.
The fair trader was subjected to a payment of from 300 to
400 per cent. more than those dealers in blasphemy and ob-
scenity ; for the latter sold their publications at Id. or 2d.,
whilst the fair trader could not afford, on account of what
he had to pay for the stamp, to dispose of his paper for less
than 6d. or 7d. The petitioners suggested that if, with a
view of preventing smuggling, the price of the article was
lowered, so if even the stamp duties were removed, the fair
trader would then have an equal opportunity of disposing
of that which was free from the objection that applied to
the publications already referred to. He had attended
much to this subject, and had lately been examined before
a Committee on the law of libel in the other House of
Parliament, in which this branch of the matter was mingled
up ,
• and he should shortly move for a copy of the evidence
taken before that Committee to be laid before their Lord-
ships. '
The petition was then read and laid upon the table.
Adjourned at six o'clock.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JULY 3,

(Before Sir JOHN NlcHott.
IN THE GOODS OF JOSEPH WOOD, DECEASED.
Dr. LUSHINGTON had to make an application under ex-
traordinary circumstances. The deceased was extensively
engaged in the cotton manufacture in Manchester. Before
his death he executed a will, dated in 1831, which remained
in the hands of the solicitor of the deceased, who had not
produced it, having a lien, as was pleaded, upon it ; and
the usual course having been taken by the Court to obtain
its production, a writ of prohibition had been obtained to
stay proceedings in the Prerogative Court until the interest
of the solicitor relative to the lien had been decided. He
(Dr. Lushington) said that as the stock in the deceased's
warehouse was composed chiefly of fancy articles, and which,
being to suit the fashion of the season, would be greatly
deteriorated if it remained unsold, he therefore prayed the
Court to allow a limited administration, for the purpose of
selling the stock, and to pay and receive debts.
Sir J. NICHOLL said the Court could not give power to
pay debts, as an undue preference might be given. He
should direct a limited administration to pass to sell the
stock and collect debts.

THE ARMY.

The 93d Highlanders have received a letter of readiness to
march from Canterbury to Chatham.

The head-quarters Of the 50th, at Chatham, expect to em-
bark in the course of a month for Sydney, New South Wales,
about half the regiment having already sailed.
On Wednesday that fine regiment the Scots Greys, now in
Piershill barracks, was reviewed on Portobello Sands by Ma-
jor-General the Hon. P. Stuart, Commander of the Forces,
the officers of the 68th regiment and of the artillery. The
day being on the whole favourable, a great number of elegant
equipages and gentlemen on horseback were on the sands, to-
gether with a great concourse of people from Edinburgh and
the neighbourhood. The regiment went through their various
evolutions in a manner that excited the admiration of all pre-
sent, and at the close of the review Gen. Stuart expressed his
satisfaction with the soldier-like appearance of the men, and
the high state of discipline which they evinced in their various
tactics. In the afternoon Gen. Stuart inspected the barracks,
and expressed his gratification with the cleanliness and order
that prevailed.
(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
When the new dress is adopted the 36th regiment will wear
embroidered on their forage caps their regimental motto,
" Firm," which was given them in consequence of a despatch
of Lord Cornwallis, who eulogised the gallantry of the brave
36th, describing their resisting repeated attacks made on their
post in India, as being " firm as the rock they stood upon." It
will have a very good appearance.
A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated May 5, says—
" The four companies of the 56th regiment, now at head-
quarters in Spanish Town, will embark on board the Romney,
about the middle of this week, for the Northside, to relieve the
77th regiment. The two companies of the 77th, which have
been on board the Magnificent for the last ten days past, will
accompany the 56th regiment in the Romney, when the
whole of the 77th will proceed to England, after a service of
ten years in Jamaica. Our best wishes will attend that dis-
tinguished and excellent corps. The Bth regiment goes to
Spanish Town, the 22d to Fort Augusta, the 64th to Stoney
Hill, and the 37th remain at Up-Park Camp."
The head-quarter division of the 52d Light Infantry, under
the command of Colonel Ferguson, C. 8., will march from
Belfast on Tuesday, and arrive at Enniskillen on the Bth July,
for the purpose of relieving the 27th, which regiment will
.proceed to Mullingar.
Tnv companloo and tho hood ciy.nrtora of tbo 7 (tit regiment,
commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Mein, will leave Newry on the
Ist July, and arrive at Belfast, to replace the 52d regiment on
the 3d of that month.

The 43d Light Infantry are now at Clonmel.
Lieut.-Colonel Adair, with one half of the Marine Batta-
lion, and the company of Marine Artillery, are recalled from
further service in the Tagus.

CASE.

On Sunday, December 4, 1831, a body of Spaniards
and Mr. Boyd, a British subject, were driven on shore, near
Malaga, by armed Spanish vessels. Mr. Boyd was un-
armed. He jumped ashore to escape pursuit. The ob-
ject was, it is known, to attempt the subversion of the ex-
isting Government of Spain, but they had been assured of
an immediate insurrection of the province of Grenada by
General Moreno, commanding at Malaga. They were
pursupd, surrounded, and captured.
Moreno, on Monday, the sth of December, despatched
an express to Madrid, with the 'intelligence that fifty-six
Spaniards had been taken. His despatch made no men-
tion whatever of a British subject being taken. He him-
self admits, in a letter which he published in the London
Courier, on the 26th of June, 1834, that " when he sent
off his express to Madrid, he did not even know that there
was an Englishman in Torrijos's party."

The British Consul at Malaga, on Tuesday, the 6th of
December, both verbally and in writing, warned him of the
illegality of touching a British subject without the know-
ledge of his Government, or until he (the Consul) re-
ceived an answer to a despatch he had also sent to Madrid.
Moreno, on the Saturday afternoon following, the 10th
of December, received a warrant from Madrid for the ex-
ecution of the Spaniards. He then, for the first time, re-
plied to the Consul's letter of the previous Tuesday, telling
him that he had received the warrant directing the prisoners
to be shot. The Consul again remonstrated in the strong-
est possible terms against the illegality of the warrant, as
regarded Boyd, a British subject ; but Moreno, although he
respited seven of the Spaniards, caused Mr. Boyd to be
shot next morning, Sunday, the 1 Ith of December.
It is apprehended, according to this state of facts, that
the warrant, having reference to the Spaniards only, was no
warrant for the death of Mr. Boyd, a British subject ; and
that the execution of a British subject, after such previous
knowledge, concealment, and remonstrances of the Consul,
was the mere act of Moreno, and not of the Spanish go-
vernment ; and therefore murder. Assuming the fact to
be so, your opinion is requested: whether the crime, having
been committed on the person of a British subject, is suffi-
cient to found a jurisdiction on the part of British Courts,
notwithstanding the crime was not committed within the
British realm, Moreno being now in England.
The question, it is submitted, differs in no material res-
pect from that of a Spaniard assassinating a British sub-
ject in Malaga, and that Spaniard being afterwards found
at large in Britain. In that case, would he not be amenable
to British courts, or liable to be arrested, and sent for trial
to Spain 1

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JULY 3.

(Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.)
JOSEPH STRANGEMAN'S BANKRUPTCY.
The bankrupt in this case was an extensive flour-factor,
and having proceeded to America without adjusting his ac-
counts, a fiat of bankruptcy was awarded against him, and
he was declared in due form, not having surrendered in due
time. After some time bad elapsed he returned to this
country, and surrendered to the commission, having, how-
ever, been previously declared in the usual way. From
this declaration he was absolved, and he has since stre-
nuously exerted himself to furnish to his creditors a full and
complete statement of his affairs. On returning from Ame-
rica he left deposited in the banks of the United States cer-
tain sums of money, of which he informed his creditors, and
his final examination was postponed until information should
have been received that his statements were correct. Since
the last meetini, the official assignee has received from Ame-
rica 4891. Is. 7d.," being the amount, less the expenses in-
curred in the United States of the sum deposited by the
bankrupt. Under these favourable circumstances the as-
signees no longer objected to the final passing of the bank-
rupt's accounts, for which purpose a meeting of his credi-
tors was held to-day. _ _ _

The total amount of debts proved is about 10,5101., and
the assets are about 2,3801. The losses sustained by the
bankrupt in trade were very considerable, and there ap-
peared a deficiency in the accounts rendered of about 668/.
on the transactions of the bankrupt, which were very exten-
sive. Against this deficiency the sum received from Ame-
rica must, however, be considered as a set-off, the expenses
incurred forming the balance.
The bankrupt said it had been generally reported that
he had made a large purchase of land in Canada, which had
greatly prejudiced him. He had obtained from Government
a grant of 200 acres of land, to be paid for at the rate of
10s. 6d. an acre, the payment to be completed in ten years.
This grant every Englishman who went to Canada was en-
titled to, provided they undertook to perform the regula-
tions imposed on the grant being made. This statement,
therefore, that he had made a large purchase was untrue.
The COMMISSIONER expressed his satisfaction at the
statement made by the official assignee, and the bankrupt
then passed his final examination.

JONES V. WRIGHT.

This was a case of greatdeliC;;;..lt related to the va-
lidity of a will of Mr. Wm. Jones, who was a jeweller and
pawnbroker of Tothill-street. The bill was opposed by
the widow on the ground that it was drawn up by the de-
ceased while in a state of insanity, the deceased having
ultimately destroyed himself. The marriage took place in
1831, and the deceased died in 1832. In 1833 a child
was born, the issue of the marriage. The provision made
for the wife in the will was not such as it was considered
would have been the case had the deceased been sane.
Dr. ADDAMS, in support of the will, contended that
though the deceased was exceedingly sensitive and very
nervous, and was highly romantic and shy in his manners;
there was not any proof that he was not sane at the time
he executed the will in question. The deceased, he con-
sidered, was a jealous man, and he was sure the Court.
would never consider a person who was jealous as being'
insane.

Sir J. NIcHoLL, without hearing counsel on the other
side, pronounced against the will, on the ground that the
whole of the facts in the case showed that the deceased
had insane delusions with respect to his wife, and had ex-
ecuted the will under such false impressions. The deceased
was a very nervous man, having become highly excited. He
attempted to throw himself over Vauxhall Bridge, and ul-
timately committed suicide. Under all the facts the Court
was bound to set the will aside.

SHERIFF'S COURT, JULY 3.

(Before Mr. BURCHELL, the Senior Under-Sheriff.)
lIURE V. DE COURCY, OTHERWISE COUNT DE RONDEAUX.
This was an action brought by the cook to the Oxford
and Cambridge University Club, against the defendant, to
recover the sum of 171. 3s. Gd. for dinners supplied to the
defendant and his black servant, Panderge, for seventeen
days, in April and May last.
The plaintiff received the orders from the defendant for
the dinners, but he being merely the cook to the club, was
unable to supply them himself, and he therefore transferred
them to a Mr. Fribourgh. The dinners were delivered at
the defendant's residence in Berkeley-street, Berkeley-
square. The defendant objected to the charges in the bill
as unreasonable, and offered to pay 161., which, he con-
tended, was all that the plaintiff was entitled to.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,

blockade of Samos

OFFICIAL NOTE FROM THE REIS EFFENDI.

" The fleet now equipping by the Ottoman Govern-
ment is intended for the purpose of establishing a strict;
blockade of the island of Samos, so as to cut off ill mari.
time communication with it ; and the Coxamander-in-
Chief has received from his august Majesty all the neces-
sary orders on the subject,
" This notice of the Mention is given, because, when the
fleet shall arrive in its station off the island of Samos, no
vessel of any nation whatever can pass the limits marked
out by it, or infringe the blockade, without incwri-og the,
risks which will naturally result from a violation of this
imperial mandate.
"Previous to the establishtuezt of the blockade the Am-
bassador of is requested to give notice of this inten-
tion on the part of the Ottoman government, in order that
vessels trading to the seas of this empire may be in-
formed of the same.

The Ottoman govermuent fully relics that the. sub
