Bank of England notes a legal tender.—(Hear.) That
was a subject which he fully agreed with his Right Hon.
Friend ought not to have been touched upon in the present
Bill. He by no means objected to the principle of a legal
tender, but he objected to constituting that legal tender
of an intrinsically valueless medium. If the law compelled
a man to accept anything in the shape of a legal tender,
it was bound to guarantee its subsequent exchange with
out any diminution in value. He (Mr. Herries) altogether
differed from the Noble Lord in thinking that the Bank
of England would advance its paper at the same ratio as
it would gold. The great object of the Bank of England
under the new system would be to increase its circulation ;
and to effect that object, if it did put forward its paper
at a lower rate of charge than it would put forward gold,
it would be content with much more doubtful securities
than it was under the present system. There was no ques-
tion, if the Bank managed properly, they would in
short time be able to confine almost all the bullion of the
kingdom in their coffers, and maintain an exclusive circu-
lation of their own notes. The next point connected
with the Bill to which he objected related to the distance
round the metropolis to which the monopoly of the Bank
would extend. He thought a radius of 65 miles much
more extensive than was expedient, or than the Bank, he
was sure, would desire; and for that reason, when the
clause came under discussion, he would move its diminu-
tion. He also objected to the clause relating to the bank-
ing companies of six persons. He thought that clause
was, in the first place, not sufficiently clear; and in the
second place, that it imposed too many restrictions on the
class of banking companies to which it related. He should
therefore in C mmittee be prepared to propose modifications
in its wording, with a view of meeting both his objections,
and he hoped that in the consideration both of that
particular clause, and in all others which like it pressed too
heavily on the country bankers,the House would unite with
him in calling for some relaxation.—(Hear.)
Mr. P. SCROPE having consented to withdraw his
amendment, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Tuesday next (morning sitting).

CRICKET.

On Thursday last the annual .match at cricket was
played at Lord's Ground between the gentlemen of Eton
and Winchester, which terminated in favour of the former
by fourteen runs. Eton scored in their first innings 86,
and Winchester 47. In the second innings Eton num
bered 13,4 ; thus leaving Winchester to fetch up the for-
midable number of 173 runs, 159 of which they obtained
in splendid style. The latter part of this match excited
great interest on account of the closeness with which it
was contested. The excellent batting of the Winchester
gentlemen in the second innings drew forth universal ad-
miration. The ground Was numerously mid fashionably
attended.

We hear from good authority that three weeks
,go Mr. ROBERT GRANT, and the other promoters of the
Bill for the Removal of the Civil Disabilities of the Jews,
received an intimation of the intention of the Lords to throw
it out. His Majesty's Ministers, it is asserted, did not
contemplate making' the Bill a Cabinet measure in the
House of Lords, but they consented to give it all their
support individually. Mr. R. GRANT, it will be recol-
lected, first introduced tin measure in the session of 1830,
when he was out of office ; and subsequent to the appoint
ement of the Right Hon Gentleman to the post of Judge
Advocate-General, he was required to redeem his pledge
of again bringing it forward, which he readily promised
to do when the Reform Bill should have been disposed of,

THIS DAY,

The funeral of this much lamented gentleman took place
this day, and nothing can exceed the anxiety that was mani-
fested by persons of every political party, to pay respect to the
eminent character which the deceased had during his long
public life maintained.

The procession, consisting of a hearse and six mourning
coaches, and about fifty carriages of the nobility and gentry,
left Cadogan-place at half past twelve o'clock, and proceeded
towards Westminster abbey.
A great number of Members of both Houses (about 130
Commoners and 30 Peers) arrived in the Abbey shortly
after one o'clock. 'When the corpse and mourners ar-
rived, a procession was formed from the great western
door, to the north transept of the Abbey, where the
grave was; the choristers chaunted the funeral service written
by Croft, and the service appointed for the dead was most im-
pressively read by the Rev. Dr. Holcombe.

. —.
Among the Peers we noticed the Dukes of Sussex, Glou-
cester, and Wellington, the Archbishop of Canterbury, arid
several other Bishops.

The ceremony was not concluded until near three o'clock.
Vast crowds of persons attended in the Abbey and neigh..
bourhood, and the ceremony was altogether of a most impre,-
sive kind,

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

On the motion of Mr. E. ELLICE, the House resolved
itself into a Committee of Supply for the consideration of
the Military Estimates.
Mr. E. ELLICE, in moving that a vote of 243,550/.
be granted for defraying the estimates of the disembodied
militia of Great Britain, observed, that the estimate bad
undergone an investigatio❑ before a Select Committee, of
which the Hon. Member for Middlesex (Mr. Hume),
Dundee (Sir H. Parnell), and Worcester (Mr. Robinson),
formed part, each of whom had concurred in a report, de-
claring that for the present the vote could not be dispensed
with,

Vote agreed to.
The House then resumed.
ASSESSED TAXES BILL.

The House then went into Committee on the Assessed
Taxes Bill.

Mr. RICE proposed a clause placing licensed victuallers
on a footing with other shopkeepers.
. . _

Mr. EWART wished to know if it was intended to re-
lieve schoolmasters in the same way as shopkeepers.

Mr. RICE replied in the negative. The matter had
been considered ; but it was found that making any such
exemption would only open the door to fraud.
Af er a few words from Colonel EVANS, the clause was
agreed to.
Mr. RICE proposed another clause, placing the horses
employed by market gardeners on the same footing as
horses employed in husbandry.
Mr. HERRIES hoped that some relief would be af-
forded to stablekeepers' labourers.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL pointed out a hardship
that existed i❑ Scotland, where the proprietors of small
glebes were obliged to pay domestic servants' duty, while
the owners of large glebes paid only agricultural labourers'
duty. This required alteration.
Lord ALTHORP said that an application to the Com-
missioners would be quite sufficient to set the matter right.
The clause was agreed to, as were also the other clauses
of the Bill.

The House having resumed, the CHAIRMAN reported
progress. Report to be received on Tuesday morning.
The Sugar Refinery Bill passed through a Committee.—
Ordered to be reported on Monday.
The Public Notaries Bill went through a Committee.—

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

',"Sittings at Westminster before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
and a Common Jury.)
WESTERN AND OTHERS v. LORD CHARLES
FITZROY.

The SOLICITOR.GENERAL stated this to be an action
by the executors of the late Thomas Patterson, Esq., of Lewes,
in Sussex, to recover the arrears of an annuity of 50/. a_year, of
which the noble defendant and Col. Churchill were the grantors
in consideration of a sum of 350/.

Mr. George Whitehead stated that he was subscribing wit.
ness to the annuity deed. It was executed by the defendant
and Col. Churchill on the 17th of August, 1819, at the residence
of the Duke of Grafton, and the 3501. was then paid to, the
defendant.

Cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT--For about
four years after the deed was executed witness received the an-
nuity for Mr. Patterson from Col Churchill. After that Col C.
went abroad. About half a year afterwards witness applied to
Lord Charles Fitzroy for payment of the annuity, and the
answer was, that no money should be paid unless the annuitant
would accept the principal of 3501., and 5 per cent, interest as
a repurchase of the annuity. That offer was refused, and wit-
ness made no further application. That might have been
eight or nine years ago.
Sir J. SCARLETT addressed the Jury, and said he hoped
it would not be imagined that Lord Charles Fitzroy had re-
ceived this sum of 350/. for his own use, for by the deed
itself it appeared that Colonel Churchill was the principal,
and Lord Charles Fitzroy his surety. After Cot Churchill
went out of the country, application was made to Lord Fitzroy,
who, with every desire to act honourably, offered to repurchase
the annuity, according to the terms of the annuity deed ; but
that was refused, and after laying by for eight or nine years, the
parties brought this action, thus seeking to recover nearly 450/.,
being considerably more than the principal. .
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, for 415/.

THE FUNDS.

The continual improvement in the French funds, received
by the estafette this morning, being now 78f, has had an effect
in the Consol Market. Consols, which left off on Saturday at
881.4 for the Account, opened at 883, , and at present may
be quoted at 881.; %.

The political information received from the Continentt both
by way of Ostend and Paris, is of a pacific nature, but the
accounts from the Peninsula are not of that description, as it
appears that Spain is still attached to Don Miguel, while France
and England are anxious to have the Portuguese question
settled, and we have no doubt that this suspense of affairs in
that quarter will soon be terminated in one way or other by the
sword.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Letters have been received from Rio Janeiro, Nov. via
New York. All was tranquil, but the Exchange had fallen
to 35,

(From North Carolina.)

Resolution by the joint Select Committee of both Houses
of the Legislature :

Resolved—That the doctrine of nullification, avowed by
the State of South Carolina, is revolutionary in its character,
subvertive of the Constitution of the United States, and leads
to a dissolution of the Union.

As usual, when we are on the eve of receiving his Majesty's
Speech in the opening of the session of Parliament, which
takes place to-morrow, we have some reports, which have
taken place to-day (originating from the Stock Exchange) that
his Majesty will state in his speech that the blockade of the
Dutch ports is to be taken oft; This we do not credit, as we
do not hear anything on the subject which warrants the state-
ment to have come from any official source. Indeed, great
anxiety is expressed in the City to be informed of the contents
of the forthcoming speech, which, we believe, has not yet
been ascertained.

Consols which reached in the early part of the morning
88 % for the Account, are not so good at present. They may
be quoted SS% %.

In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock has improved to
45 •y to 46.

them, but a yearning of the heart. As I looked at the
leafless trees. round my dwelling, through whose naked
'toughs the cold wind of winter was mournfully whistling;
and bethought me of my barren bachelor sterility, left at
this late time of life without en object on which to let out
the sympathies of my nature; and observed bow the naked
trees, like myself, stretched forth their bald arms towards
the heavens, waiting for the genial days of spring life,
which would soon return to them, but never again to me
—the weakness of feeling broke out upon me, as it had
tieen the dissolving clouds; and, like Racbael in the Scrip-
ture, I wept for my children becauge they were not."
Since the above was written we have learned,
with sincere regret, that Mr. Picken has fallen
a victim to his severe intellectual exertions. A
fortnight since he was suddenly attacked with
paralysis, from which he was slowly recovering,
when, on Saturday morning last, a second attack
proved fatal. lie has left a wife and seven
children, all of whom, we fear, are but scantily
provided for. Mr. Galt, however, has under-
taken the superintendence of his unpublished
papers, which, if they be equal in excellence to
those already before the public, cannot fail to
meet with a large circulation. Mr. Picken lived
beloved, and died lamented.

LITERATURE.

PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL EC 0-
IV 0 MY,Br G. POULETT &ROPE, ESQ. I.P.A
The enlightened Member for S roud has
produced a work of which he may well be proud.
We do not say that there are not positions in it
with which we disagree, and to which we may
on a future occasion refer, but it so abounds in
sound principle that we should be well content
to see the many now guiltless of any political
knowledge whatever imbued with its contents.
No man adopting the whole of Mr. Scrape's
principles can make a very bad citizen. The
work is well timed, and the author is conscious
of the fact. Having spoken of the light, un-
substantial, objectless nature of the education
which was sufficient in past times for those who
had nothing to do but spend a fixed income,
Mr. Scrope says,
" But the thirst of the people for knowledge is not to
be slaked at such fountains. Those whose daily la bour
wins their daily bread, with whom comforts are scarce,
and necessaries not abundant; whose very means of ex-
istence are in the highest degree precarious,—this class no
sooner begins to read, to think, to reason, and to inquire,
than their reading, their thoughts, their reasoning, and

" The prevailing stream of thought and argument sets
towards questions of deeper moment, of more urgent and
immediate bearing on the interests of mankind. A strong,
though as yet scarcely recognized feeling has in fact begun
to pervade society, that the well-b-ing of its component
members is the object most deserving of its a.tention, and
should be its fist and most prominent study ; that the
physical and mental happiness of man may be most mate-
rially influenced by his social arrangements ; and that
these arrangements are susceptible of great and indefinite,

CORRECTIONAL POLICE.

The frequenters of the Tribunal of Correctional
Police were amused yesterday by the following ludi-
crous case. At Pails there are two rival exhibi-
tions of industrious fleas. The Signor Bertholetto
for a long time exercised this singular branch of in-
dustry, to the great satisfaction of connoisseurs, when
another Signor, named Maestro, contrived to creep
into the cabinet of the great naturalist; and formed
tie design of exercising this blanch of comtnerce on
his own account. In consequence, Maestro came
to Paris with a complete collect ion of fleas of th,-
highest talent, which he installed in the Place de la
Bourse. The news of their success threw Bertho-
letto into a fury, who hastened to cross the Citantiel
with his microscopic menage, ie, and established him-
self in the Rue de Richelieu, within a few yards of
Maestro's show-room. This was not all, for he
placarded and distributed hand-bills and eh cola's, in
which t:te public were warned not to confound the
exhibition of M. Bertholetto %sith that of anothei
individual, which by the side of his was merely a
fist invention or a taint copy. In answer, Maestro
placarded in his turn, and called Bertholetto in
terms a mountebank. Hence Bertholetto brought an

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 27.

LAWSON V. CUNLIFFE AND OTHERS.

(We copy the following from the Morning Post.)
A report of the proceedings on an ex parte appli-
cation for an injunction in this case appeared in our
paper of yesterday. It contained statements deeply
affecting the moral and mercantile character of the
defendants, and of Messrs. Solomonson and Fraser,
the bill-brokers, through whom the transaction in
question took place. We need scarcely add that
such statements, upon authority which was merely
ex parte, could only have obtained admission into
our columns through inadvertency. We have au-
thority to say, and we do so with great pleasure.
that these statements are entirely unfounded, and
that they will be effectually contradicted in a motion
about to be submitted to the Court to dissolve the
injunction.

owner of a vessel called the Guardian, to recover

day when we went to press, the Jury found a ver-

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THIS nAY.)

ROWE V. GUDGEON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day for the special
purpose of hearinv, this case, and in which common law
counsel were in attendance.

Sir E. SUGDEN stated that the original question was
whether the plaintiff was entitled to a share of a partner-
ship ; that the Vice. Chancellor was of opinion he was, and
directed a reference to the Master ; that the Master found
the plaintiff was entitled to a half share ; that upon its
coming before the Court again, his Honour directed an
issue; that the plaintiff appealed against that direction, and
applied to his Honour to stay the proceedings until the
appeal could he heard, which application was diszni,sed
with. costs ; that upon the trial of the issue the Jury found
the plaintiff was entitled not to a half but to a third share;
that an application was next made to the Vice-Chancellor
for a new trial, and which his Honour directed ; that the
defendants now appealed against the order directing the
new trial, and he had to submit to the Court that it ought
to bear both the original appeal against the issue having
been directed at all, and the appeal against the motion
for a new trial at one and the same time.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. KNIGHT opposed
this amalgamation of the appeals as being extremely
inconvenient, and against the practice of the Court. If
his Lordship should be of opinion, with the original ap-
pellant, that no tri,tl ought to have been directed at all,
then there would be a❑ end of the case ; but independently
of that, the question whether there should now be a new
trial or not, would turn entirely upon what had taken
place at law. Upon the one application, counsel on one
side would have the reply, and upon the other, counsel on
the other site would have the advantage of the reply.
Sir E. SUGDEN said that he would give his learned
opponents the general reply upon the whole.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion that
this would be the most convenient course, and ordered the
arguments to be shaped accordingly, upon which the
Attorney-General proceeded to open his case.

THE FUNDS.

This is pay day for the settling of the Account in
Consols. They went off yesterday to the satisfaction of the
speculators. As yet we have not heard of a single de-
ftulrer, and we have no doubt that the payments this
day will en off well.
Consols have reached this morning 89 for the January
Account, and for money ssa, since which they have been
done at 88N-, but the chief business doing is in paying
and receiving the differences.
The only news we have is from Spain and Mexico.
Frr,m the former we have no other intelligence than by
the telegraph from Bayonne; and if reliance can be
placed on this conveyance, it is favourable, and, no
doulr, ere this, Starsfield's army has entered Bi:hol.
The news from Mexico appears favourable.
In the Foreign market Spanish 23k. Dutch done
at 50.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We understand that the answer to the speech of the
Governor of Jamaica was received by him with great
satisfaction. Up to the present hour we have no further
arrivals.

Consols, which were in the early part of the morning
at 89 for the January Account, have since receded to
881 ; and for money 88i The paying and receiving
Accounts aopear to go off well.
There is an arrival from Lisbon at Liverpool, of the

17th, consequently no fresh information.

NEW ANTI-JACOBIN.

This is a bold, presumptuous title, and pretty
sure to disappoint expectation. Yet, in the
present instance, we are agreeably surprised. The
writers in the New Anti-Jacobin, if they have
not the attic wit—the smart repartee—the rich,
racy humour of their predecessors, have at least
considerable powers of drollery. Nor are they
deficient in information, though they are too
fond of making a parade of it, as we have seen
a parvenu turned " Esquire," spread out his
Sheffield !late on a side-board, by way of elec-
trifying his first party. " The Meeting of the
Waters" is a noisy, blustering attack on the Libe-
rals, which the writer manifestly thinks will
have the effect of frightening them into fits.
He is mistaken. They will survive the shock.
They are not to be scared by the rumbling of a
dray-cart—by the pert chattering of a tom-tit.
" Renewal of the Bank Charter" is serviceable
and well-timed, but dull as one of Blackmore's
epics. " A Cast of Casti" is a capital Maga-
zine article, such as would have told to advan-
tage in the New Monthly. " The Wondrous
Tale of Ikey Solomons" is the best squib we
have met with for some time. The false,
maudlin, hermaphrodite style of D'lsraeli's
" Wondrous Tale of Alroy," half prose, half
poetry, is hit off in a way to make the reader's
lungs " crow like chanticleer." It is the gem
of the number. A few more such will soon set
the " New Anti Jacobin" afloat.

ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES.

The gentlemen, as well as the ladies, seem inclined to re.
vive the old fashions ; several dandies have appeared lately at
grand balls in frock-coats of violet velvet, trimmed with dead
gold buttons, very finely wrought; waistcoats and knee-
breeches of white satin, and cocked hats. Would it not be
better to have velvet coats of different colours, with black or
white satin pantaloons ?

THE LAND OF LIBERTY.—We copy the
following advei tisement from a New Orleans paper :
" Cook for sale.—An excellent American woman cook,
and her two children, one a girl, about 14 years, the other
a boy, about 12 months old, both born in the city, fully
guaranteed."

MODERN STATESMEN.—In our Own ex-
perience, some of us may have met with men whe lacked
little of the character faintly sketched in the foregoing
panes, except, perhaps, the element of enthusiasm in
religion, and who probably did not lack much for a simi-
lar career, but the recurrence of a similar conjuncture ;
men whom, like CROMWELL, natural qualities, or early
educ ition, have fitted rather for the society of their fellows
than for the task of self-inspection or retired study; men
in whom, if there is anything more astonishing than the
fervour of zeal which they can devote to any object, it is
the transferable nature of that fervour, and the almost
equal facility with which it c in be brought to bear on the
most important aim, or on the merest trifl.; men of
whom it is impossible to trust the perfect honesty, as,
even in their most disinterested actions, is perceptible the
all-pervading leaven of their own personality, yet whom
it is equaly difficult to suppose to be deliberately actuated
by the contrary disposition, from the apparent warmth,
and

from
very commonly unblameable; kind husbands, tender

ordinary times, they may be brave soldiers, active men of

ministers of power; but in time of revolution, opportu-
nity serving, such men have just the qualities and disposi-
tions requisite for the betrayal of the public cause—apos-
tacy and usurpation._ Character of Tait's
