street, against a midshipman in the Fast India Com-
pany's service, for goods sold and delivered.
Witnesses were called to prove the sale and deliver)
of the goods.
For the defence Mr. RICIIARDS contended that the
goods were ordered by the mother of the defendant,
and she, if any person, was liable.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, 201. 4c.

THE CHURCH AND THE UNITARIANS.-
The Rev. Wardlaw, Rector of Winslow, has re-
fused to allow a tablet to be erected in the interior of
the parish church to the memory of S. Gregg, Esq.,
who was recently interred in the family vault, upon
the ground that he does not consider perons holding the
Unitarian doctrine to come within the pale of Chris-
tianity.—Manchester Chronicle.

A REAL STRIKE.—A terrible battle took
place at Ghent between two parties of women,
amounting to nearly 150, some days ago. The con-
test arose from one party wishing to force the other
into a combination to cease working. Innumerable
caps and bonnets were torn into rags, several ears
were pulled off, and handfuls of hair were seen floating
away in the breeze.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1834.

The French Papers of Saturday mention
that it is generally understood in Paris that the
meeting of the Chambers will take place on the
31st of July, instead of the 20th of August,
at which it had been previously fixed, and that
the Session would, at all events, be a short
one. The Elections, it appears, passed off
every where in the quietest manner possible.
Galignani's Messenger says, " it is reported
that Don MIGUEL will take up his residence
at St. Petersburgh or Berlin." We can readily
imagine that the Don will patronize one
or other of these two places. He is , just
suited for them. At St. Petersburgh, in particu-
lar, he will not fail to feel himself at home ;
for he will meet with abundant sympathy from
the Imperial Court. NICHOLAS, no doubt,
will weep for his afflictions, though he could
never find a tear for the Poles. By-the-bye,
the Augsburg Gazette of the 24th inst., has the
following of the 15th, from Berlin Tra-
vellers from Warsaw state, that the Russian
Government is occupied in extending the am-
nesty granted on the occasion of the hereditary
Prince attaining his majority into a general
amnesty, which would be published at N.Varsaw,
and that a national army of 6,000 Poles is
about to be reorganized. We cannot vouch for
the authenticity of these reports."

- Attempts are making to induce the Irish
clergy in Dromore to oppose the Tithe Bill.
A violent appeal has been made to them by
their Archdeacon, but they have more sense
than their blind guides. They see clearly
enough, that unless this question be speedily
adjusted, the Irish Church will, as his Grace
of WELLINGToN says, be lost for 'ever. There
is to be a meeting this day, to determine upon
a declaration in support of the Government.

We give elsewhere an account of the dinner
given to General MINA, previous to his return
to his native land. The situation of this illus-
trious patriot is one which may well excite
envy. .He carries with him the best wishes of
every Briton, and we confidently hope that he
will now receive some reward for his long suf-
ferings and his gallant deeds in the service of his
country. In his long career he seemed tohavebut
one object in view—the independence of Spain.
He resisted NAPOLEON because his object was
to enslave Spain. He joined with monks—
with priests—with peasants—with every party,
whatever might be their political creed, who
preferred their native Prince to a foreigner ;'
and after many an arduous contest he had the
satisfaction of seeing the invaders driven across
the Pyrenees, and FERDINAND placed on the
throne. When that faithless Prince betrayed
the confidence placed in him—when he fal-
sified every promise he had made, and there
was no hope for the friends of liberty
but in resistance, he again raised the standard
of freedom, and continued to defend it, till
overpowered by the armies of France. In
1830, when a rising took place in the north,
he was still animated by the same feeling, and
was prevented from taking an active part, only
from the state of his health and the disunion
among the constitutional leaders. The cause,
however, was daily gaining ground; the feelings of
the, people were becoming more and more in-
clined to liberty ; they knew they had the best

wishes of France and England, a►►d only
waited for the death of FERDINA ND to declare
in favour of the cause for which MINA had so
long struggled. He has lived to see his most
ardent wishes realised, and, as if fortune delighted

in making his triumph more complete, he has
now the satisfaction of beholding as exiles in the
country to which he fled, the foreigner that
usurped the throne, and the Prince who was
destined by the absolute party to make Spain
even more enslaved than it had been under
the tyrannical sway of FERD INA SD. Such a
conclusion to a long and doubtful contest
ought (in the words of Sir F. BURDETT) " to
teach all the friends of liberty a great practica
lesson, that there was no chahce which was
good, honest, and honourable, no matter in
what discouraging circumstance it might for a
time be placed, that ought ever fairly to be dis-
paired of." After such a change of circum-
stances, when the cause of Spain was all but
hopeless, we do not yet despair of the freedom
of another gallant people, and trust that, at no
distant period, the truth of the remark will be
m)re confirmed by the emancipation of Poland.

TORRENO has accepted the office of Minis-
er of Finance at Madrid.

Accounts from intelligent and influential
persons in the West of England all agree in
the expression of the general satisfaction which
prevails with the Poor Law Bill as amended by
the House of Commons.

It is believed, but we trust it will turn out to
be an unfounded opinion, that the French
Ministers will propose to the Chambers, and
that they will carry new laws for restricting still
further the freedom of the press.

The Austrians continue their unreasonable
demands in Switzerland. They will hardly
resort to arms, but if they should, there can be
no doubt of the interference of France, and
other powers, for the protection of the Swiss.

We hear from Constantinople that thc
TAN refused to receive the Hospodors to his
presence in their Russian orders, and that he
has instituted a new militia.

The suite of Don CARLOS have all em-
barked from Portsmouth on board the Caroline
and the Gipsey. They are certainly very nu-
merous. Don CARLOS has shown great
anxiety about his followers. Not so Don
MIGUEL, who seems to have manifested none
but the most selfish feelings.

[MPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, MONDAY, JUNE 30.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SF EAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve
o'clock.
Captain Byng took the oaths and his seat for the
Borough of Chatham.
Upon the motion of Major BE A UCLERK the
Russell Estate Bill was read a second time.

Mr. BANNERMAN presented a petition from
Leith against Church Patronage in Scotland.
Mr. TOWNLEY presented a petition from the
Isle of Ely, upon the subject of drunkenness ; and a
petition from the same place, complaining of agricul-
tural distress.
Sir G. STAUNTON presented a' petition from
Hampshire, in support of the Established Church ;
and a petition from another parish in the same county
upon the subject of Poor Laws.
Mr. FINCH presented a petition in favour of the
Established Church from Shillelagh (a laugh) ; and
several other petitions to the same effect from various
parishes in Ireland.
After a few words from Mr. F. O'Connor and Colonel
Perceval, Mr. Sheil, Mr. Shaw, Mr. O'Reilly, Mr.
Callaghan, and Mr. Lefroy, the petition was laid on
the table.

Sir E. HAVES said he had a petition to present
from an individual of the name of Lawrence Dundas,
complaining of his having been dismissed from the
office of stipendiary magistrate of the Island of
Jamaica, in consequence of some observations which
had been made in that house by the hon. and learned
member for Dublin. The petitioner stated that the
charges made against him were utterly unfounded,
and prayed that some inquiry might be instituted into
his case, or that the government might be requested to
rescind the order cancelling his appointment.
The petition, in consequence of the petitioner having
neglected to sign it, was withdrawn.
