vernment to the amount of 1000/. a year each .
This was an amiable bond of family affection,
and the present Earl had the singular felicity of
relieving his estate by acts of fraternal kindness.
In page 12 of the Estimates, we find that Baron
LANGspoxF, the Hessian Minister, has a pen•
sion of 100/. a year. When the newspapers
announce that the Hessian Minister, Baron
Von LANGSDORFF, yesterday had an
audience with the First Lord of the
Treasury, at the Treasury Chambers, and infer
from it some important negotiations or State
intrigues, the worthy Baron may have gone
merely to receive his quarter's pension of 251.
The Russian Prime Minister, Pozzo DI
BORGO, has a pension of 400/. a year,
hut he receives it at the house of the
Duchess of ST. ALBA N's. A little below the
pension of his Excellency the Hessian Minister,
stands a pension of 1,000/. a year to Mr. Ser-
geant PRAED, the father of the Tory Member
for St. Germains. Nothing could be more pro-
per than that the boroughmongers should fish
for a young recruit against the Reform Bill
among the sons of an old borough pensioner.
Mr. PRAED, and all of his class, have an interest
at stake in maintaining, as Colonel SIBTHORPE
says, " the institutions of our glorious Constitu-

tion." If we mistake not, the Pension Act
prohibits the granting of any pension for less than
a certain period of service, and it regulates
the amount of pension by the length of
service. We have seen that Mr. PENN enjoys
his pension after only four years and a half of
service ; and in page 8 of the Estimates we find
ten consecutive pensions, several of them large,
a►►d with the column of services left blank—Nil.—
The manner in which different things are tacked
together to eke out a period to bring Mr. Ser-
geant PRAED within the legality of a large pen-
sion, is a curious specimen of Tory contrivances.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Ellar, the well known harlequinOfCovent.garden
theatre, appeared to show cause why be should not be ad-
judged the father of an illegitimate child, of which Miss
Owen, the actress, was the mother. The office was
crowded with members of the theatrical profession. The
summons to Mr. Ellar had been issued at the instance of
the parish officers of St. Leonard, Shoreditch. Miss Owen,
a very pretty young female, and fashionably attired, said
that she first saw Mr. Ellar at the Brighton theatre, where
she performed with him. He then declared his passion
for her, which she did not think proper to rebuff, not being
aware that he was a married man. Oa the Btll of Ja-
nuary, Me, she came to London, and, of course, sent
him word. He was then playing in the pantomime, but
as soon as his labours were concluded, sent her word to
meet him at the Bell and Crown, Holborn. She went
there, and the consequence of her visit was the birth of a
child on the 29.11 of July.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked if no intimacy took place before
the Bth of January ?—Miss Owen replied positively in the
negative.

51r. BROUGHTON said, that if such was the case, the
child was only one of biz months and twenty-one days,
which was 4 most unusual circumstance.

111 r. Wooler appeared for the del-ndant, and dwelt upi.n
this fact as a proof that Mr. Eliar was not the father.
Mis, Owen solemnly r,-stated that he was, and thst
she had never loved but one.

Mr. BitoucirroN adjourned the case, that the opinion
of medical men might be obtained.

UNION-HALL.

Martha Shelly, a decent-looking young woman, was
committed for trial for robbing her master, Mr. Cameron,
landlord of the Queen's Head, in Charlotte-street.

In December last the prisoner entered into his service by
means of a fictitious written character. Within the last
few weeks various sums of money bad been missed from
the till, and a quantity of marked silver was in conse-
quence put in on Friday. During the temporary absence
of Mr. Cameron some of the money was taken, and an
officer was sent for, who found it in possession of the pri-
soner. She acknowledged her guilt, and confessed having
bought several expensive articles of dress.

The Cour Royale of Paris, by a decree dated
the 10th ult., reduced a lawyer's bill, which amounted to
3,650 fr., and was contested by those called upon to pay it,
to 993 fr., an abatement of 500 per cent. !

With an Extensive and Well established Trade, to be

Disposed of under peculiar circumstances.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON respectfully an-
noun-es that be has received directions for the
PEREMPTORY SALE of an Old established and most
Re-pectable BREWERY, within a few minutes' walk of
the City, now doing a Trade of nearly 7,000 Warels of
Strong and 3,000 of Table Beer.

The Premises on which the business is carried on are
spacious and convenient, and held on Lease at a very mo-
derate Rent. The Plant and Utensils are appropriate and
in good condition, and by the retirement of the present
Proprietors an opening presents itself to any Gentleman,
desiring to embark in the Brewery-business, of doing so
with every prospect of success, inasmuch as the purchaser
will reap the advantage of an extensive trade, established
at a great sacrifice, for which no Good-will will be regdired.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1832.

At a quarter before two o'clock this day his
MAJESTY, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR,
arrived at St. James's Palace from Brighton, in
his travelling carriage and four, preceded by out-
riders, but unattended by a Guard of Honour.
His MAJESTY wore a drab great coat, and ap-
peared in good health and spirits. The Royal
carriage was followed by another, but we were
unable to learn the names of the personages it
contained.

Precisely at two o'clock his MAJESTY held a
Privy Council, at which Sir JOHN CAM HOB-
HOUSE, as the Secretary at War, and Mr. TEN-
NysoN, attended to take the usual oaths. The
High Sheriff's were then pricked for, and the
Proclamation for a General Fast was made.
After which NEWMAN KNOWLYS, Esq., the
Recorder of London, was presented to the
Council, and made his report of the various pri-
soners who remain in Newgate under sentence
Of death.

The following appears in the Times of this
r"rniNg, for the correctness of which we can
Pledge ourselves, if such were necessary :
" There is no truth whatever in any of the rumours of
Changes (mentioned in some of the Sunday Papers) as re-
gards Lords Anglesea and Althorp, Messrs. Stanley and
Ellice : neither is Mr. Sheil to be Solicitor-General for
!I-clod. There is, in fact, no vacancy, as Mr. Crampton,
not to be the Master, but Mr. Gould. The Mastership
'4.1% indeed, offered to Mr. Crampton, but be declined, and
therefore remains Solicitor-General."
The timely arrival of his MAJESTY in Lon-
(l°n to-day must give a death-blow to the frau-
dulent manoeuvres and false rumours of the
Tr, •
-nes.

the cultivation of the human mind, are disreputable to a
Government able to appreciate the blessings arising from
the growth of knowledge. in a nation ; and we do hope that
long time will not elapse before attention is directed to this
subject in the place where it can be mentioned with most
ffect.

Thomas Whitney, a footman in a gettieman's family
in Broad-street, was brought 'ap icy the parish officers for
having gallanttd With Mary Dent, the l-,usemaid, the
proof t. 11: Which was likely to come into the possession Of
the parish shortly.—Ordered to enter into his own
recoe&zance.

A fat little man, in a carrotty scratch, chargod Genrr'e
Huggett, his son-in-lair, with having violated the pace on
Wednesday night by " blowing him up," and threatening
to break his" sanguinary nose." The complainant made
himself out none of the best sort of fathers-in -law, and de-
clared that nobody ever kuow'd half the good he had done
for the waggerbone."
The LORD Marna—Well, young man, you seem to
have a good father-in-law. Why can't you live comfort_
ably together? Huggett—dy ? Because the old buEr's

the parties to live peaceably in future.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARK.

ET.—Feb. 3

The fresh supply of Wheat to this day's market is short, but
quite sufficient for the demand ; the Flour trade to Lancashire
being dull, the best samples of Wheat barely maintain the rates
of last week, and all other descriptions are heavy sale at rather
less money. Oats are rather lower. Fine heavy Barley is scarce
and fully as dear, but there is little or no demand for light samples,
which are offering very plentifully. Beans are dull sale, and the
turn lower.

G UILDHALL.

On Saturday Charles Gilbert, aced 76, Lite a member
of the United Loyal Britons Benefit Society, which ha%
been held at the Black Swan, Great Carter-lane, for 42
years, complained that he had been expelled and excluded
from fire weeks' sick allowance.

The defence of the steward was that the complainant
had been met with a saw under his arm, about seven o'clock
in the evening of the 27th of December, and the rules pro-
hibit a sick member from being out at that hour. The
steward said the funds of the society were diminished at
the rate of 230/ a-year, and it must be ruined if the rules
were not rigidly enforced.
Sir PETER LAURIE asked what allowance was made to
the sick ?—The steward replied ISs. per week.
Sir PETER said it was a pity some one did not propose to
lessen this allowance, so as to fairly proportion the benefits
to the contributions.

The steward said it had been proposed, and the result
was always that on motion to pay less and receive more,
every hand was hell up; but if to pay more and receive
less was spoken of, not one hand was raised. The claimant
had paid in altogether :50/., and he had received ,ince
Au4ust, 1825, upwards of 1001.
Sir PETER LAURIE and Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL.
concurred that the complainant was lawfully expelled, but
earnestly recnnmended that some weekly allowance should
be given him.

KING'S THEATRE.

This theatre opened on Salirday night, to a full hut
not a crowded aud'enee The embellishments and itn-
Provements made during the recess were the subject of
very general remark and approbation. The opera selected
for the occssisn was the Esule di Ponta, a work which
has, we understand, procured DONEZETTI, the composer,
considerable reputation on the conti sent. The scene of
this opera is laid in Rome, and the time during the reign
of TIBERIUS. The plot is simple, and the situations goad
though for the most part hacknied. Some of the music
is extremely beautiful, particularly a duet in the first
ac., which was very charmingly p-rforined. There was no
fsverture to the opera, but a pleasing symphony by Mr.
MASON, which was favourably received, was given instead.
The chief defect of this composition was its length. It should
have been much shorter. Among the performers Madame
de MERIc deserves praise, for the style of her singing. and
the quality of her voice, which is of a full Italian ch racter.
Signor WINTER, whose voice is a tenor, made a great hit.
His voice has considerable power and volume, aad is
managed with consummate skill. The new B tllet is caned
Une Heure a Naples, and is a short and pleasing trine.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

At the Court held at the Mace of St. James's,
this 6th day of February, 1832,
PRESENT,
The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
THE KING.

A PROCLAMATION FOR A GENERAL FAST.
WILLIAM R.

We, taking into our most serious consideration the
dangers with which this country is threatened by the
progress of a serious disease heretofore unknown in these
Islands, have resolved, and do, by and with the advice of
our Privy Council, hereby command that a public day
of tasting and humiliation be observed throughout those
parts of the United Kingdom called England and Ireland,
on Wednesday, the 21st day of March next ensuing,
that so both we and our people may humble ourselves be-
fore Almighty God, in order to obtain pardon for our
sins, and in the moat devout and soltnnn manner
send up our prayers and supplications to the Divine Majesty
for averting those heavy judgments which our manifold
provocations have most justly deserved; and particularly for
beseeching God to remove from us that grievous disease, with
which several places in the kingdom are at this time visited :
Awl we do strictly charge and command that the said Public
Fast be reverently and devoutly observed by all our loving
subjects in England and Ireland as they tender the favour
of Almighty God, and woul I avoid his wrath and indig-
nation; upon pain of such punishment as may be justly in-
flicted on all such as contemn and neglect the performance
of so religious and necessary a duty. And for the-better and
snore orderly solemnizing the same, We have given direc-
tions to the most Reverend the Archbishops, and the
Right Reverend the Bishops of England and Ireland, to
ccuspose a Form of Prayer suitable on this occasion, to be
used in all Churches, Chapels, and Places of Public Wor-

The arrivals of Grain this week are small, except of Oats from
Ireland, of which the quantity is considerable. The weather
being now very fine for harvest operations, there is a very thin
attendance of buyers here to-day, and the trade for every article
is extremely dull, at the terms of Monday. There is a fair de-
mand for tresh Flour, which well supports its late value,

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK.

We have a number of arrivals this morning. A mail
from Halifax and Bermuda sailed from Halifax July 4 ; a
mail from Mexico sailed from Vera Cruz June 12, from
Tampico June 2, which brings accounts that Santa Anna
was in pursuit of the Government troops ; a'so that he
had issued a proclamation at Tampico, that all the old
Spaniards should quit it within 20 days. A similar order
was issued at Vera Cruz, but with an allowance of longer
time. The Lapwing brings home sixteen thousand

doll ire.
Accounts received at Liverpool state that the cholera has 1,
made its appearance at New York.
Halifax papers to July 3; New Brunswick to June 26 ;
Quebec to June 24 ; Prince Edward Island to June 26 ;
Sydney papers to March 5, and Calcutta to March 15,
have been received at the North and South American
Coffee House, all of which are destitute of any news of
consequence. They are mostly filled with English infor-
mation. From Halifax it is stated that a severe gale took
place at Bermuda, which lasted two days, and done some
damage to the shipping, but not to a great extent.
The Sydney Herald of the sth March says that the
Legislative Council has been deeply engaged for some time
back in devising a scheme for promoting emigration, and
with a view to meet the wishes of the Home Ministry,
not less than 10,0001. of the supplies, colonial revenue, is
to be appropriated for that purpose.
The Calcutta Papers state that the total gross quantity
of opium, for which passes have been granted in Bombay
to the 20th February, amounts to 9,351 chests.

Previous to the arrival of his MAJESTY to-
day at the Palace, the Duke of CUMBERLAND entered oh
horseback ; the people, who had assembled at the entrance
to the Palace, greeted him with a groan, and many iu the
crowd hissed his Royal Highness.

The Right Ron. Deputy Chairman of the
Board of Trade last night exonerated himself from the
charge of preventing the formation of a report on the evi•
deuce token before the Silk Committee, by a trick or
manoeuvre. We imputed no blame to this gentleman as
from ourselves ; indeed, we believe him incapable of On)
sinister action; we only stated the alleged fact on the au-
thority of a respectable correspondent. It will be seen,
however, from Mr. THOMSON'S remarks in the Reuse of
Commons last night, that our information was most inac-
curate.— Times.
We perceive that Mrs. WAYLETT'S benefit
at the Strand Theatre is announced for to-morrow (Thurs.

of them are played for the first time. We have little doubt
that the House will be both fully and fashionably attended.

were taken to llolbeach, in custody, in a waggon ; the
people assembled in vast numbers, broke all the windows
of the Chequers Inn, and pelted and abused those who had
the custody of the prisoners. At length the spirit dis
played reached such a height that the persons who had
the chrrge of the rioters wore obliged to set them at liberty.
The crowd seized the waggon and immediately burnt it,
amid triumphant shouts and declarations of vengeanc,
against the farmers. They continued assembled until the
arrival of the military from B,ston at hall-past nine ;
town was then full of people, but no collision took place
although fears were entertained. At three this morning

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Simpson, of No. 5, Sirr-street, Lambeth,
was charged before Messrs. GREGORIE and WHITE,
with assaulting a police constable of the A division
in the execution of his duty, under the following
circumstances :

About a quarter to 12 o'clock at night, the con-
stable on duty near Whitehall, observed the prisoner
and a female carrying something in the middle of
the street, and according to the instructions given
to the constables to stop persons carrying any thing
suspicious at an unseasonable hour, he went up to
the prisoner, and found that he was carrying a quan-
tity of wet linen ; he refused to give any account of
how he became possessed of it; and on the constable
telling him that he must go to the station•house, he
called him opprobrious names, and assaulted him.
It turned out that the linen belonged to Mr.
Morley, a solicitor, of 6, Tottenham-street, Totten-
ham-court-road, who had given it to the defendant's
sister to wash for him, and that he was carrying it
home for her when stopped by the constable.
Mr. GREGORIE asked his colleague (Mr. White)
what was his opinion of the case ?
Mr. WRITE thought that the con,table had no
right to interfere with the defendant.

'Mr. Morley.--You are perfectly correct, Sir, as a
lawyer.
Mr. GREGORIE (with great warmth, to Mr. Mor-
ley)--If you come here, Sir, to do my duty, you
had better take my chair; but I shall not give a up
to any one less capable than myself, until I am or-
dered by the Home Secretary.
Mr. Morley apologized.
Mr. GREGORIE—I grant your pardon, but I think
you have great reason to ask it. I entirely diffor

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Last week the arrivals of most kinds of English Grain were
tolerably good, of Irish Oats abundant, and of Flour, coastwise,
moderate. The trade improved for fine Wheat and Barley, but
not for other Grain. This morning there is a fair supply of
Wheat from Essex and Kent, but very little from other parts,
and the quantity of Barley is not so large as of late. Of Beans and
Pease the quantities are moderate; of Oats chiefly Irish, the market
is full. The millers, with some country buyers, purchased Wheat
to-day with tolerable freedom Is. per quarter advance on the finest
qualities; other kinds retain their value. Barley that is fine sold
freely at last week's rates, other kinds are still heavy. Beans and
Pease are unaltered. Oats of good quality sell slowly at last
prices, other kinds are dull, and rather cheaper. Flour meets a
lair sale at last prices.

COITRT CIRCULAR. \

Their MAJESTIES left the Palace at Windsor on Satur-
day, and proceeded to the Pavilion at Brighton.
Divine service was performed yesterday before the
Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, and their
Royal Highnesses' household, by the Dean of CHESTER.
Summonses were issued on Saturday night to the Cabinet
Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council yesterday afternoon.
The Ministers assembled at 2 o'clock at the Foreign-office;
there were present E.trl GREY, Viscounts MELBOURNE,
PALMERSTON, GODERICH, and Aratioar, the Right Hon.
C. GRANT, Sir J. GRAHAM, the Duke of RICHMOND,
and Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Council broke up at ball-
past 4 o'clock.

Previous to the meeting of the Ministers the Chevalier
DE ZEA BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, had an inter-
view with Earl GREY on his Lordship's arrival at the
Treasury from East Sheen.
During the time that the Council was sitting Prince
TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador ; Baron Butow,
the Prussian Minister; the Baron DE WESSENBURG, the
Austrian Minister on a special mission; and the Austrian
Charge d'Affaires, assembled at the Foreign-office, and at

In the evening M. VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Mi •
sister, and the Chevalier DE ZEA BERMUDEZ, the Spanish
Minister, visited Viscount PALMERSTON at the Foreign-

urday had an interview with Viscount GODERICH at the

proper man.

When Lord BROUGHAM was promoted to
the Woolsack it was common to hear the Tories,
and, indeed, some of the Whigs and Liberals,
exclaim, " What can he know of the practice of
the Chancery Court ?" To us it appeared that
Lord BROUGHAM knew all that was good in it,
for the purpose of practice, and all that was evil,
with the view of rooting it out. The result has
shown that we were right. SUGDEN or WE-
THERELL might have made Chancellors of
the Eldon school, but BROUGHAM was the
only man to purify the Court of abuses which, if
continued, would have soon brought it to an end.

It cannot be said of Sir THOMAS DENMAN as
was said of Lord BROUGHAM, that he is new
to the practice of the Court. He was bred in it,
is acquainted with all its details, and is known
to have given some of the soundest opinions
ever obtained from the Bar. How then can he,
having a large, and rather unusual stock of in-
tegrity to back his knowledge, be considered an
unfit Judge ?

The truth is, that Sir THoMAs DENMAN is
offensive to the Conservatives, first, by his cha-
racter as a politician ; secondly, by the intention
which he has announced of a reform in the abuses
of his Court. For a man in these days to be a
Liberal, is to offend all who have an interest in
preventing the progress of Reform. In a public
office, to cut down abuses is to irritate all who,
having once fattened on corruption, and who,
foolishly hoping again to enjoy the patronage
of place, are horrified at the idea of finding pa-
tronage diminished and corruption destroyed.
Sir THOMAS DENMAN, Whig as he is, would
not have had half the abuse that he has re-
ceived if he were not at the same time a Reformer
in a practical sense. Unlike these idols of the
Conservatives, MANSFIELD, KENYON, EL-
LENBOROUGH, and TENTERDEN, Sir THOMAS
DENMAN begins, by an act of liberality, in his
own person, in taking office at a reduction of
one fifth of the salary enjoyed by the previous
Judge. here is the offence. The Conserva-
tives, much as they hate the Whigs, would wil-
lingly leave them the emoluments which they
themselves formerly enjoyed ; for they have
clung fondly to the hope of enjoying them
again, and are horrified at innovations which, if
continued, will make place and power not worth
the holding, except by men who have the am-
bition of doing good—a quality which The To-
ries neither have nor understand.
