BARKER V. GRIFFIN.

This case came before the Court upon demurrer. The
bill was filed by the plaintiff for the purpose of obtaining
the opinion of the Court on the construction of the articles
of partnership, entered into between a gentleman of the
name of Barker and the defendants. The plaintiffs were
the personal representatives of the late Mr. Barker, who
carried on the business of a jeweller and bullion-dealer, in
Leadenhall-street, in partnership with the defendant
Griffin. The condition in the articles on which the
present question depended was with respect to
Mr. Barker's son, as to whom it was provided
that on the death of his father his executors should manage
his interest in the business for his son, who, if he chose,
on attaining 21, might take his father's place as a partner.
The son attained 21 before his father's death, but took no
part in the concern on his father's dying. He refused to
take any part in the business, and the question now was,
whether the executors, under such circumstances, had the
right still to carry on the business in connection with Mr.
Griffin. The bill was filed, asserting the right of
the executors to carry on the business, and the present
demurrer was filed by the defendant for the purpose
alone of having the opinion of the court, all parties being
willing to act according to the opinion of the court.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared in support of the demurrer, and
Sir E. SUGDEN was counsel for the plaintiff.
His HONOUR, without hearing counsel in behalf of the
plaintiff, gave judgment in favour of the executors, declar-
ing them entitled to carry on the business.

WHAT IS TRUE-PIETY?

" He had heard it said that it was a solemn mockery for per.
sons only sixteen years of age to subscribe to the thirty.nine
articles. He should, indeed, agree that it was ridiculous to do
so, if the subscription implied that the party knew what they
contained, and believed them to be true. Such, however, was
not the case. The subscription was only tantamount to saying
that the party subscribing belonged to the established church."
(Vide Bishop of Exeter's speech last night.)

In the good old times ere priestcraft ruled
( And that, you'll allow, is a long time since)
If a gentleman's mind was rightly schooled,
As we've seen in so many a peer and prince—
That is to say, if he feared his God,
And kept aloof from Satan's squad,
Was chaste in thought, correct in deed,
Kind to his neighbours in hour of need,—
Such a man was usually held to be
A model of genuine Piety.
Absurd idea, only fl 4 to engage
The thoughts of a vulgar, barbarous age !
Thanks to our bishops, Piety's ways
Are changed for the better now-a-days;
And he alone is dubbed devout
Whose conscience, like whip-cord, tough and stout.
Can swallow the indigestible particles
Of the Nine-and-Thirty High-Church Articles :
No matter whether it be his lot
To understand their meaning or not ;
No matter whether his conduct be
Otherwise marked by purity :
If he &At not these (tho' they make him sick )
He's nought but a sinful heretic.
So Exeter tells us, and who can err
That thinketh the same as Exeter ?
London, England, 1834-04-22

thus now transferred to the foreign dealer, witl
whom the home grower is exposed to a compe•
tition in the home market, which he cannot
withstand.

The first consequence, therefore, of the laws
which have prevailed since 1815 is, that the
home grower has been prevented from exporting,
his grain. Now it is a remarkable fact, appear-
ing from the table constructed by Mr. MuN-
DELL, that the quantity of home grain
exported during the whole of the forty years
that elapsed previous to 1815, was equal to
one-sixth, and rather more, of the foreign grain
imported ; and, what is still more remarkable,
the export was nearly equal in each period of
fifteen years. Even in the fifteen years ending
in 1815, which included a portion of the years
of scarcity, the export was nearly equal to that
in the preceding fifteen years. Previous to
1815 Great Britain always exported grain of
one kind or quality, and imported it of another,
but now she exports none.
By the laws which have prevailed since 1815,
the home grower is thus shut out from the
foreign market, in the vain hope of giving him
the monopoly of the home market ; of which
he is deprived by the foreign dealer, at a time
when it is most necessary to him. The con-
sequences have appeared in the loss of the
farmers' capital, in the diminution of agricul-
tural labour, in the diminution of the home
growth, and in the exhaustion of the soil, in a
manner which we shall take another opportu-
nity of pointing out.

The French papers of Sunday and yesterday
contain no news. Every thing is tranquil, and
people are beginning to reflect on the causes of

the late events and the calamities which have
been caused by them.
The Prefect of Lyons, the General who
commanded there during the late revolt, and
the Procureur du R oi, have been severally re-
warded by promotions in the Legion of Ho-
nour ; and the Prefect has, in addition, been
created a Peer of France.

The numbers of killed during the late riots
in Paris, were—of the troops, 12 ; of the insur-
gents and inhabitants who perished in the
houses, 28 ; and in the streets, 11 ; in all, 51.

RIFLE MATCH for 1,000 GUINEAS, June 7.
BETWEEN CAPTAIN HORATIO ROSS AND COUNT D'ORSAY.
This event, which has caused such general excitement,
took place in Mr. Purday's shooting ground, Norland. The
Count arrived upon the ground at twelve o'clock, accom-
panied by the Earl of Erroll, the Earl of Chesterfield, Lord
A. Conyngham, Lord Ossulston, Hon. Captain Eons, and
the Hon. Colonel Anson. Captain Ross, with several of
his friends, the Hon. Captain Villiers, &c., was on the
ground to receive his noble opponent. The distance, 150
yards, at 30 inch argets, without a rest, being regularly
adjusted, the Hon. Captain Rous was appointed umpire for
the Count, and W. H. Dowbiggen, Esq., umpire for the
Captain. The Hon. G. Vernon referee. The match ter-
minated at five o'clock in favour of the-Captain. The total
measurement of the 50 shots of the Captain from the centre
of the target counting only 399 inches, whilst those of the
Count amounted to 698 inches. Large sums must have
changed hands upon the event, as from the Count's well-
known celebrity as a first-rate ball shot his friends were
very eager to back him ; and as this mode of target shooting
was totally novel to Captain Ross, the Captain's rifle being,
usually employed at the red deer in the Highlands of Scot-
land, where, we will venture to affirm, his skill is unrivalled.
Much praise is due to the Hon. G. Vernon for his. exertions
in all the most minute regulations of this vaatch

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The theatrical summer commenced last night with the
opening of the Haymarket. Mr. Morris commenced with
a new musical piece, with the title of Rural Felicity,
but it was preceded by Jerrold's two-act comedy of The
Housekeeper, which was received with repeated plaudits.
A portion of this display of satisfaction was doubtless meant
for Mrs. Nesbitt, who took the part of Felicia for the first
time, and went through it so well, that, though we fully
expected it, we found no reason to regret the absence of
Miss Taylor. She is unquestionably both a very pretty
and a very clever woman, and her voice and style of act-
ing are exactly suited to a theatre of this size ; while in
Covent-garden or Drury-lane, justice was never done to
her talents, and her features could never be seen at all, by
at least half the audience : she is quite as effective as Miss
Taylor. The new Opera (if it deserve the designation) is
by Buckstone; but we do not think a musical piece is
exactly his forte. Rural Felicity is very loosely put toge-
ther : the different parts, good in themselves, are dis-
jointed ; and there are some inconsistencies in the plot
that might have been avoided, or rendered less obvious.
The music is by Bishop, and some of it, especially two airs
and a duet, are pretty enough ; but all the rest might well
be spared, as it is not only awkwardly introduced, but not
good for much in itself. The object of some of it we do
not profess to be able to comprehend ; thus Miss E. Paton
has along scena near the close of the second act, which
has not the remotest connection with the story, and serves
merely to show her off in different styles of composition.
Part of the dialogue might be pruned to advantage, as the
author must have been sensible as his piece proceeded.
When Mrs. Glover came forward with a sort of personal
appeal to ask if the piece might be repeated, the applause
was universal. Her part is a sort of Mrs. Candour of the
country, and she played it with great vivacity and humour.
Buckstone was excessively droll, as the rustic servant out
of livery, apeing the genteel with all his might and main.
Vining was lively, and in his first scene with his gun, was
a fine specimen of a Cockney sportsman : here we had the
old joke of one man allowing another to shoot at some
ducks for five shillings, when the ducks belonged to a
neighbour ; but it was well told, and therefore told well.
Miss Turpin is improved since last season, and Miss E.
Paton sings as well as formerly. Second Thoughts con-
cluded the entertainments of the night.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Sir J. Scaat,ETT moved to file a criminal informa-
tion
against a Mr. Stuart Gordon, of Bishop's Stort-
ford. Some years since the head of the Cranmer fa-
mily exhibited symptoms of lunacy, and was placed
under restraint. Mr. Mouncey, the family solicitor,
was made receiver of the issue of the estates. Whilst
in that situation the father of the individual against
whom this application was made stated to him that he
was a natural son of the lunatic, and claimed assist-
ance. Mr. Mouncey thereupon got him made com-
mittee of the lunatic, with the emoluments arising out
of the sums allowed for maintenance of his insane
parent. On the death of the latter the estates went
to a female, the heir-at-law, and on her death she
willed the property to the wife of Mr. Mouncey, who
thereupon, with her husband, took the name of Cran-
mer. In February last Mr. Gordon exhibited for se-
veral days in the public library at Bishop's Stortford a
paper charging Mr. Mouncey, now Mr. Cranmer, with
having kept back from Mr. Gordon's late father money
due to him from the family estates ; also charging him
not directly, but by implication, with having by unjust
and improper means obtained possession of the family
estates. This statement was repeated last week in the
Sunday Herald newspaper, and as the affidavit on
which the learned counsel moved for the information
denied every statement in the alleged libels he con-
ceived the motion might be granted.
The COURT were of opinion that it was a case in
which they ought not to interfere.—Rule refused.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 9,

DAVIDGE V. ABBOTT AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr.
Davidge, an actor, against the defendants, the pro-
prietors of the Victoria Theatre, to recover compen-
sation for the loss sustained by him from a breach of
covenant. The defendants paid 201. into the Court
to meet the plaintiff's claim. It was tried on Wednes-
day last, and the plaintiff obtained a verdict for 100/.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD to-day moved for a rule
nisi to set aside the verdict, upon the ground of ex-
cessive damages, inasmuch as 100/. was a sum far
above that which had been the clear profits arising
from the benefit of the then most favoured actor at a
Minor Theatre.—Rule refused.

PICKFORD V. DAVIS.

The COURT gave judgment in this case for the de-
fendant, as their Lordships also did in the cause of
" Trimbey v. Vignor," where the principal question
was whether the plaintiff was entitled to maintain an
action in an English Court in his own name upon a
promissory note, which was made by the defendant in
France, and indorsed in blank, each of the parties be-
ing domiciled in that country. The Court were of
opinion that the plaintiff could have no right to sue in
his own name in the English Courts.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 9.

JUDGMENT.-JESSE, ADMINISTRATRIX, V. ROY,
EXECUTOR.

Lord LYNDHURST delivered the judgment of the
Court. The qnestion in this case was whether the
plaintiff could recover upon the contract made between
the intestate and Roy. It was a mariner's contract,
whereby the deceased was to become entitled to a
certain share of the cargo in the event of the vessel
returning to the port of London. In this case the
vessel never returned. It was a crazy vessel, and was
sold in one of the ports of America. The deceased,
who was a mariner on board, was very active in saving
a great portion of the cargo, and came home with it in
another vessel. Still upon his contract he could not
recover. There was no reason why mariners' con-
tracts should not be interpreted as all other contracts
were. The plaintiff was entitled to compensation for
services rendered by the intestate after the sale of the
ship, the amount of which might be ascertained out of
Court.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, JUNE 9.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron PARKE and

a Common Jury.)
WARNER V. WOOD AND BLAKE.

This was an action for damages at the suit of Miss
Catherine Warner, for the value of a boa and shawl.
On the 9th April last Mr. William Levi gave a grand
festival, consisting of a dinner, ball, and supper, to
between 200 and 300 guests, in honour of his son's
marriage. Miss Catherine was among the invited,
and prior to entering the ballroom delivered her boa
and shawl over to persons who appeared there as
servants to the defendants, taking a ticket in exchange.
Upon presenting this ticket at the end of the evening
her shawl and boa were not forthcoming, whereupon
this action was brought.
The delivery was proved, and it was found that the
rooms were hired of Blake, who was proprietor of
them, and Wood, who was a musician, ten guineas
being paid to the former and six guineas to the latter.
The defendants acted together as partners. The
value of the articles was proved at 6/. 6s.
Verdict for plaintiff—damages, 6/.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy
Council held a meeting yesterday morning in the
Council Chamber, and were occupied during the
whole of the day in hearing appeals from the awards
of the Commissioners for Liquidating British Claims
on France. The Lords present were the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the Right Hons. Sir James Parke, Sir J. Ber-
nard Bosanquet, and Thomas Erskine.
" Johnston versus the Commissioners."—Dr. Lush-
ington and Mr. Lloyd stated the case for the appel-
lant ; and the King's Advocate, Sir Herbert Jenner,
was heard in support of the award of the Commis-
sioners.

Judgment was deferred in this case.
" Bourdieu versus the COmmissioners."—The
parties in this case had sustained a loss by the insol-
vency of another firm indebted to them, and contended
that this loss had arisen from the act of confiscation
of the French government in 1793, since by that act
they were prevented from obtaining payment of the
debt due to them, the firm having been solvent up to
1793, but became insolvent at a subsequent period.
The decisions of their lordships was, that inasmuch
as it was not proved that any act had been done by the
French government affecting the debt due to the ap-
pellants, in virtue of the decree of 1793, and con-
sidering that the non-recovery of the debt was not
owing to that decree, the decree of the Commissioners
should be sustained.
" Samuels versus the Commissioners."—Dr. Lush-
ington, on the part of the appellants, claimed the dif-
ferences between the produce of goods confiscated by
the French government, as those of a British subject,
and sold at a period to disadvantage, and the real
value of the goods. Their lordships adjourned.

MARGATE.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO THE ROYAL
WILLIAM MARGATE STEAMER.
On Saturday last, as the Royal William .Margate
steamer was on her way from London to Margate,
and when within ten or eleven miles of her destina-
tion, the passengers on board were greatly alarmed by
the sudden stoppage of the vessel while at full speed.
The captain and most of the crew hurried down into
the engine-rooms to ascertain the cause. The steam
soon bgan to force itself up through parts of the
deck, a continuation of which was prevented by the
steam being let off through tho funnel, which escaped
with a tremendous roar, and to the great dismay of
those on board. The machinery, in some parts, was
found to have broken and given way. Parts of it
were uncovered/. and the most active means resorted
to, to get things put into that condition which would
enable the boat to proceed. After a delay of ten
minutes, an attempt was made to start, and she went
on for a few minutes by the aid of one engine. She
stopped again, and again it was necessary to discharge
the steam, as before. The passengers were then in a
state of the utmost consternation, increased, no doubt,
from a recollection that only a fortnight had elapsed
since a serious accident happened to the same boat,
when the lives of a vast number of passengers were
put in imminent peril, and who, after considerable
delay, were conveyed to London in another boat.
After another delay of half an hour, the machinery
was put into a state which enabled the captain to take
the boat slowly into Margate, by the use only of one
engine and paddle.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

The following is an extract of a letter dated Albany,
King George's Sound, Western Australia, Nov. 6,
1833 :
The Buffalo arrived here from England on the
13th of September, and sailed on the 22d, with female
convicts for Sydney. The ship Governor Stirling
arrived from England on the 21st of September, with
settlers and live stock, and sailed on the 20th for Ba-
tavia. The barque Freak arrived on the 25th from
Sydney, with flour, and'sailed on the 28th for Swan
River. The barque Sussannah arrived on the 4th of
November from Hobart Town with wheat, and sailed
on the 7th for the Isle of France. If government
would grant a free passage to a number of officers on
half-pay, having large families, this magnificent har-
bour and fine climate, milder'and more temperate than
any part of Italy, would soon be respectably settled,
to the future profit of the mother country and strength
to our Indian possessions; for if the government should
neglect to fortify this fine harbour till a future war,
some foreign power will no doubt seize upon it, and
convert it into a second Gibraltar, or Port Mahon,
which it more resembles. We understand that Sir R.
Spencer has succeeded in carrying out most of our
English fruits and flowers, figs, grapes, currants, goose-
berries, almonds, with oranges from Malta. and Rio
olives, lemons, citrons, mangos, &c., the whole of which
are growing luxuriantly, as well as all our finest meadow
grass seeds. lie landed on the 14th of September,
and on the 20th of October he had cleared a heavily
wooded piece of ground, burnt it off, ploughed it, and
sowed it with barley and clover. '1 his was the first
time a plough had been used in the colony, although
it has been settled seven years. As proof of the sa-
labrity of the climate, in all that period of time there
his not been a single European die in the settlement,
although for four years it was a penal settlement, with
a-number of male convicts besides the troops. The
wild herbage of the country appears to agree particu-
larly well with English cattle, horses, and sheep ; the
South Down ewes are as round as barrels, and the
'Merinos carried out in the Buffalo have already
lambed, one of them with twins, which the mother
rears quite strong. I have been all over the world,
but never before saw a pace so fit for the people of
England to emigrate to ; but they should have enough
'to build their house and support their families for two
years, except labourers or mechanics, who get from 7s.
to 15s. per day. Town grants of land, viz., half an
acre are given gratis, to any person to build a house
or warehouse on, as are suburban grants within two
miles. where two acres are given gratis for a cottage
and gardon. Large grants of land must be bought at
five shillings an acre."—Hampshire Telegraph.

EXCHEQUER OFFICES BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that he could
not permit the bill to be read a second time without making
a few observations upon the liberal conduct of the Marquis
of Chandos, who had volunteered to give up his interest in
that office, to which he had as undoubted a right as any mem •
ber of that honse. The noble marquis for the course
he had adopted was entitled to the thanks of their lord-
ships, and he trusted that his example would be followed
by many of their lordships. (Hear. )
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed; and their lordships adjourned till to-morrow
at half-past six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 24.
The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past five
o'clock.

Captain DUNDAS presented a petition from the market
gardeners of Deptford, in favour of the New Southwark
Market Bill.

Lord ALTHORP said, that as the important question
respecting the repeal of the Union was to come on again
that evening, he hoped hon. members who had motions on
the book would allow the adjourned debate to take pre-
cedence.

Sir R. INGLIS said he hoped the noble lord would
have influence enough with his right hon. friend (Mr.
Grant) to induce him to postpone his motion respecting
the civil disabilities of the Jews.

Lord ALTHORPsaid, tint- his right hon. friend had
consented to postpone his motion.
The second order of the day was then read for calling
over the names of defaulters at the call of the house on
Tuesday' last, when the hon. members themselves ap-
peared, or a satisfactory reason for their absence was given.

was this day read, by order of the court. The now ser-
geants-at-law are to have precedence next after the now
junior King's counsel in all the courts.

arguments on special cases, none of which possessed the
slghtest public interest.
