MANCHESTER, APRIL 30.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The Earl of Radnor, accompanied by his son (Lord
Folkestone), paid a visit to the radical reformers of this
town to-day, but for what specific purpose, unless its
being a friendly call, is not known, although it is notorious
that his Lordship is a strenuous supporter of Mr. Cobbett,
and is in frequent correspondence with Mr. Cobbetee
partisans in the town. About the hour that the Exchange
is most frequented by the merchants and manufacturers
their Lordships entered this building, accompani, d by
Mr. Richard Potter, the late unsuccessful candidate for
Wigan, and a number of other influential reformers. The
Noble Earl attracted ,muck attention by his perambulations
in the Exchange, and it was expected that it was his intern
tion of addressing those assembled in support of Mr. Cob..
bett's interest, as a candidate for the representation, of
Manchester in a reformed Parliament. Such, however,
was not the case; and if it had, his Lordship,
it is fancied, would have met with but a cool
reception, as Mr. Cobbett's partisans do not eongre.•
gate within the precincts of the Exchange, St. George's-
road, or New-cross, would have been more within the
sphere of Mr. Cobbett's greatness, but in the former place
his Lordship's eloquence would have availed the cause of
the political leviathan little. Lord Radnor has again
publicly stated, that it is his decided opinirn that Lord
Grey in his speech on the second reading of the Reform
Bill, did not eopre%s indifference as to the raising the IN.
qualification, but was determined to adhere to it. Upon
this subject the following remarks appeared in the Man-
chester and Salford Advertiser of Saturday last, 10
which reasons appear to be given for the radical Reform-
ers of Manchester declining at the presenf juncture to call
a public meeting of the inhabitants. The Advertiser is
the only active print which adheres to the cause of Mr.
Cobbett as his supporter in the wished. for character of
representative for Manchester :

With respect to Manchester, the letter of Lord Radnor,
from which we inserted an extract last week ; a second letter
has been subsequently received from the same nobleman, ill
which he expresses still more decidedly his conviction that
Earl Grey did not say that he would abandon the 101.
qualification under any circumstances, and adds his eon-
vicition that Earl Grey is determined, under any circuity
stance to adhere to it; these, and a strong conviction en'
tertained by many of the moderate Reformers, tbst
Earl Grey cannot be false to his pledges, his character, and
his country, have divided public opinion on the propriety
of calling a public meeting at present; and in order CO
preserve that unanimity which has hitherto prevailed, it
has been determined to wait for further indications, sad
not to call a meeting yet.

It must be distinctly understood, at the same time, that
the Reformers of Manchester do not remain quiescent from
any indifference to the 101. qualification, to which all the
honest Reformers of Manchester deem themselves bound,
and without which they would repel the Bill with scorn•
And this is true, not only of the Radical Reformers, but
of the leaders of the party of moderate Reformers, which
we have before mentioned; that party which approaches
most nearly to popular, and which, though occasionally
seeking the alliance of the sham Reformers, contains
many individuals of great earnestness and sincerity. We
have pleasure in stating that these gentlemen hold them•
selves bound to the 101. qualification, and will heartily
join the people in expressing it, if they should reason see
to think it in danger.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—Mr. NVIIEEO6;:

time until Monday was not heard of, when his faij
learnt that he had, on Sunday night, committed el'i°;d'

by hanging himself at the Rose and Crown, Lower Thalo`-
street. Ile has left a widow far advanced in pregna°C;
and seven young children, six of whom are unable to g

leceastd's handwriting, was found in the bed-roozn where
he hung himself:—
" The cause of this rash act is as follows have rose tiP
early and gone to bed late, and cat the bread of carefulness;
but all would not do; my friends falling off one by one, and,
to till up the measure of my calamity, my cruel landlord 00V,.
yesterday (Friday) left word with my wife that if the quarter
rent was not paid this day (Saturday) he would put in a broltect'
and sell us up. The idea of seeing one of the best of wives ana
tenderest of mothers, with a numerous young family, turn
into the street, was more than I could bear, and to remonstrate (
with lihn I know would be in vain. I paid my kindhearted
landlord 2.51. down on taking possession, in 1800, of the Pee;

family and friends, and the entire destruction of myself. ,o;

The Rentrewshire Political Union have very
properly and emphatically declared their opinion
that the ten-pound franchise is the most valuable
Part of the Reform Bill ; consequently that to
raise it, though in ever so trifling a degree, is to
!brow the measure overboard altogether. Speak-
Ing on this subject, as it affects Paisley alone, Mr.
SIMPsoN says, " even by the ten-pound qualifi-
cation there will be less than seven hundred

voters ; by raising it to fifteen, there will not be
more than four hundred ; and if raised to twenty,
he had counted them over this morning, and he
could assure the meeting that there would not
be more than one hundred and eighty voters."
Only four hundred voters if the franchise
be raised to fifteen pounds ! Only one
hundred and eighty voters if it be raised to
twenty ! And this in a populous, commer-
c'al, and influential town like Paisley ! Why,
the place will be rendered quite a rotten borough
--as rotten almost as half Cornwall—and pre-
cisely the same objection will apply not to Paisley
alone, but to at least a hundred other important
towns and cities in England and Scotland. By
raising the franchise to fifteen pounds, Lord
GREY will make it the WTaverers' Reform Bill,
by raising it to twenty, he will make it the Ultras'
measure. In neither case will it be the Bill of
the people, in neither case will they feel any in-
terest in it.

We hope that at the ensuing meeting
of the Birmingham Political Union, the staunch
and patriotic Reformers of that neighbourhood
will bear these circumstances in mind. We
hope that they will speak boldly out, and to the
point, on the subject of the ten-pound franchise,
for they may rely on it, that that particular part
of the Bill is in considerable, if not in imminent,
jeopardy. The lion's paw is on it, and nothing
but the exercise of gigantic energy can rescue it
from his clutches. We will not go the length
of asserting that Lord GREY has wavered on
this point, but we will insist that he has not
been so decided as he should have been—as it
was hoped he would have been. At any rate,
whether his Lordship be undecided or otherwise,
no possible injury to the good cause can accrue
from the Birmingham Reformers advocating the
rights of the people, and insisting on the fulfil-
ment, to the letter, of the promises made them, in a
bold, uncompromising spirit, worthy of themselves
and their cause. A solemn convention of up-
wards of one hundred and fifty thousand de-
termined, but perfectly constitutional and peace-
able Reformers, cannot but make the proper
impression on the minds of British Peers.
Such a demonstration of strength will prove to
their Lordships, that the only course they can
now adopt with safety, will be to restore to the
people those rights, to which the Constitution has
declared them entitled. The country de-
mands nothing more than justice, and less than
justice, we are convinced, it will never accept.
We hay.

M. PERIER was so critical that no hope is
entertained of his recovery. The cholera was
daily on the decrease. The Precursor of
Lyons adverted to some disturbances at Nismes,
but the report was doubted. It is said that the
Russian ratification (now arrived in London) is
clogged with heavy modifications in favour of
liolland. If so, it amounts to no ratification at
all. A zonvention is said to be stipulated for,
in order to rediscuss the several topics once more.
We shall wait for more authentic information on
this subject, before we believe that France and
England can stoop to such indignity :

li --- is stated that the Emperor
Rus will proceed in the month of May ,for Warsaw,
and the Emperor of Austria is going to Italy about the Bth or 10th, on his way to Trieste ; atter which he will visit
the kingdom of Lombardy.
New movements are going forward in the Austrian

BaussEts, APRIL 28.—M. Langerman, one of the
generals who most distinguished themselves in the late war
in Poland, has arrived in this city. Col. Matignon, who
served during the time of Napoleon, and who commanded
one of the regiments engaged in the affair at Lyons, is ex-
pected. It is said that each of these superior officers will
have the command of a brigade in our army.
ANTWERP, APRIL 27.—A new donation of 1,000
florins, proceeding from the generosity of the King, has
just been distributed among the inhabitants of the fifth
section, who have suffered the most by the war. His
Majesty has also sent 500 florins for several persons at-
tached to the theatre of Antwerp. This is the third dona-
tion from his Majesty to our theatre this year.
Numerous ships continue to arrive here: from the lst of
April up to to-day there have been 134, viz. fourteen
American, from America, eleven from the North with
timber, four from Brazil, eighteen from England, seven
French, eighty with cargoes of corn. There are now 270
slips in our basins.
It is affirmed (says the Journal du Commerce of Ant-
werp) that King Leopold is so dissatisfied with the di-
plomacy of the little ambassador, that it is possible M Van
de Weyer may not return to London to pack up his
things.—Brussels Papers, April 29.

VIENNA, APRIL 19.—His Majesty's departure for
Trieste is to take place between the 6th and 10th ult.,
and, after some stay in that city, he will probably visit the
kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. Some movements are
observed in the Austrian army. Esterhazy's regiment of
infantry, which was in garrison at Ofen, is on its march
to Italy. Dragoons and Hussars of our garrison have also
left us, but have been immediately replaced by others.
Moravian Landwehr detachments and battalions of several
regiments of the line have also marched through Vienna.
In It,ly there is also a very great quantity of artillery, am-
munition, and provisions, which is to be farther in-
creased. From all this, however, no other inference is to
be drawn than that our Government is resolved not to suffer
any events to take it unaware=, but to be ready to meet any
thing that may occur. The order that the Landwher
battalions shall be with their regiments is of old date, and is
only now carried into effect. There is a report that
Cracow will be incorporated with the Austrian dominions.
The accounts from Warsaw are very melancholy. That
city, formerly so full of activity, is now as it were deso-
late. Besides the Russians, who alone have any money
to spend, hardly any men, except cripples, are seen in the
streets. Equipages are rarely met with, because the
nobility, who, from the complete indigence of the lower
classes, have to bear almost exclusively the whole weight
of the taxes, conform themselves to what is indispensably
necessary. In the country the misery and poverty are
still greater. Yet this heroic people does not regret what
it has attempted for its deliverance ; it is proud of its
resistance, and finds in this consciousness consolation for
its actual situation. --Nuremberg Correspondent, April 24.

This was an action against the Sheriff of York for not
arresting, and for suffering the escape of a person named
Forth, whom he was directed to arrest for a debt due to
the plaintiff. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
o n the second count, v.z. for not arresting Forth. On
a former day, Mr. Hall obtained a rule, calling on the
plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be
entered for the defendant, on two grounds, viz., that in
fact there had been no legal arrest of Forth by the Sheriff,
and secondly, that the Sheriff had no power to arrest
Forth, who resided in the liberty of the honour of Porn-
fret, which although it was in the county of York, pos-
sessed a separate jurisdiction apart from that of the
Sheriff for the county. The circumstances of the case
were these :—A writ having been issued against Forth,
who resided at Stubbs Walden, in the honour of Pomfret,
at the suit of the plaintiff, it was directed to a Sheriff's
officer, who, being unwell, intrusted it to another officer,
and Forth was taken, but afterwards escaped. It also
appeared that the Sheriff had, in fact, no jurisdiction
in the honour of Pomfret, the lord of which had exclusive
privileges.
Mr. POLLOCK to-day showed cause against the rule. He
contended that the Sheriff, having arrested the party, was
liable to an action for the escape, although he might have
exceeded his duty in going beyond his bailiwick. If the
Sheriff overleaped his own jurisdiction, it was a subject of
complaint on the part of the lord of the manor of Pom-
fret, but it would not justify him in suffering a party to
escape whom he had once arrested. Besides, for any thing
that appeared, the lord of Pomfret might have assented to
waive his exclusive privilege.
Mr. HOLT, in support of the rule, contended that there
was in fact no legal arrest, and that the Sheriff had no
business to go into the honour of Pomfret.
Their LORDSHIPS were of opinion that a nonsuit should
be entered in this case. The plaintiff averred in his decla-
ration that the party was within the Sheriff's bailiwick,
whereas it appeared that lie was in the liberty of the
honour of Pomfret. The averment in the declaration was
contradicted by the evidence, and consequently the plaintiff
was not entitled to recover.

The plaintiff was therefore directed to he non-suited.
LORD COCIIRANE AND GALLOWAY V. 13RA1111WAITE AND

ANOTHER.

This was an action brought liv the plaintiffs for the in-
fringement of a patent. The plaintiffs had been non-suited.
It appeared that the plaintiffs had taken out a patent in
1818 for certain machinery, by which furnaces, &c. might
be made air tight, and that the gas and smoke therein
generated might be made applicable to various useful pur-
poses. It also appeared that the defendants had invented
and obtained a patent for a machine for a similar purpose,
but differing in some parts of its construction ; and that
was alleged to he an infringement of the plaintiffs patent.
Mr. PoLt.ocK having obtained a rule calling on the de-
fendants to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set
aside and a new trial had,

Sir JAMES SCARLETT to day showed cause. He ob-
served that the plaintiffs bad come to the Court very
late in the day, for their patent would actually
expire the day after to-morrow, having been granted
on the 4th of May, 1818. The Court would judge
of the utility of that patent from the fact that they had
only during the whole of that time, constructed one ma-
chine, which was put into a steam-boat, and sent out to
Lord Cochrane, for the use of the Greeks, and what after-
wards became it he (Sir James Scarlett) had not heard.
But when the defendants brought out their invention, the
plaintiffs made a model of theirs, and contended that the
defendants had infringed upon their patent rights. The
Learned Counsel went at great length into the details of
the machinery used by the plaintiffs and by the defendants,
and also the details in the plaintiff's specification, and con-
tended, not only that there was no infringement on the
plaintiffs' patent, but that the plaintiffs' specification was
defective, in respect to several important parts of the ma-
chinery which were the subject of the present complaint.
Mr. Por.LocK, Mr. HILL, and Mr. KELLY supported
the rule, contending that it was evident tne defendants
had infringed upon the plaintiffs' patent, and that there
ought to be a new trial. The invention was most impor-
tant to the public, as it was the first instance in which
stoves and furnaces had been made air tight, and the smoke
and gas been applied to such purposes as the inventor close
to direct them ; and it was highly essential to the plaintiffs
that such an invention should be secured to them.
The Coemer took time to consider their judgment.

In this case the defendant, who was keeper of a club, or
gaming house, at No. 12, Parish-place, St. James's-street,
was sued by the plaintiff for a debt of 191., and had been
served with a notice of declaration. On a former day
the defendant obtained a Rule calling on the plaintiff to
show cause why the proceedings should not be set aside,
on the ground that he not been personally served with a
copy of the writ, and that it had been served upon some
other person, who was mistaken for him.
Mr. ComYN, to day, showed cause against the Rule, and
produced the affidavit of a person named Wyatt, who
served the writ on the defendant. Wyatt swore that he
made several ineffectual attempts to serve the defendant
personally at his house in Park-place, and that he then
went to the defendant's private residence at Pimlico, and
where the defeniant was pointed out to him by several
neighbours. At length, on the 9th February, lie met the
defendant in the street, and served him with the copy of
the writ, the defendant, at the same time, grossly abusing
him.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A
YOUNG MAN.—Missing, since Sunday night last, a
young man, named FREDERICE MURRAY IiOURGAN, aged
27, native of Tarhert, County of Kerry. His height is
about five feet seven inches, dark complexion, and black
hair. He was dressed in a dark green coat, with a velvet
collar, fashionable double-breasted black kerseymere waist-
coat, drab trousers, with cuffs and buttons at bottom,
black hat, maker's name, " BELCHER, London Road."
In his fob was a double-cased silver hunting watch, engine
turned, stop, and seconds, lever, to which was attached a
silver guard. He wore a small chased gold ring on his right
little finger. He was seen last in the Commercial Road,
near the Surrey foot of Waterloo Bridge, between 11 and
12 o'clock on Monday morning, since which time all trace
of him has been lost. Any information respecting him is
partiall irly requested to be forwarded to The Sun News..
paper Office, 112, Strand, London.

It is reported that NI. FALCK, the Dutch
Minister, will shortly leave this country for the Hague.
When it was announced in• the hall of the

his back on an intestine commotion.

On the exchange of the ratifications Count

issued cards of invitation for a splendid farewell banquet
to his Excellency to-day, at Devonshire House.

Mr. BUNN, stage manager of Drury-Lane,

we have little doubt that Mr. BONN will be honoured with
the attendance of a full house.

On Monday an inquest was held at the Fea-
thers public-house, upon a gentleman who, on Friday,
threw himself off the parapet wall of Waterloo-bridge.
It appeared that the deceased was JOHN POND, Esq., about
60 years of age, and enjiing a handsome pension from
the East India House, iu whose service he formerly was.
He has lodged f.r the last two years at the house of Mrs.
Cox, No. 12, Park-street, Camden town, and has lately
been in a bad state of health. He has suffered much dis-
tress of mind in consequence of a favourite nephew's de-
parture for India, on which account he frequently said be
should go mad. The Jury returned a verdict of " Tem-
porary derangement."

It is generally supposed that the office of Chief
Magistrate, vacant by the death of Sir R. BIRNIE, with
large emoluments attached to it, will not be continued,
but that the Ala4isterial duties of the Home Office, and
the management of the horse patrol, will be handed over
to the new Police Commissioners.
It is extremely doubtful, under the new Ves-
try Act, whether persons who are excluded by ballot are

DEFAMATION...—WILSON v. COLLINS.
Mr. STEER opened the pleadings; and Mr. Sergeant
WILDE stated the case to the Jury. It was an action
brought by the plaintiff, a provision merchant, lately resid-
ing in Waltirook, to recover compensation in damages
friiin the defendant, who was at that time beadle or the
ward, for having uttered certain slanderous and defaina-
tory words of and concerning the plaintiff, to the injury of
his reputation. The Learned Sergeant then went on to
detail the facts of the case, which was proved by the fol-
lowing witnesses :
Mr. D. Judson knew the parties :concerned in this
action. Toe plaintiff resided some time ago in \Ulu, ok,
and the defendant was the Ward-beadle. In January last
he was on the Juryl to ascertain what persons were car-
rying on trade, not being freemen of the city. Collins
told him that Wilson had taken the house he then held
