" And deponent thereupon wrote and sent to said William
Boucher another letter, in the words and figures following,
that is to say

" ' Carey-street,
_lsth June, 1835.

" SlR—Your letter of this morning induces us to send you
the enclosed paragraph for insertion in this afternoon's paper.
If you think proper to insert it as a leading article this after-
noon, no further proceedings will be taken. And we trust
that no objection will exist, on the part of your paper, to
doing a mere act of justice. We are, &c.,
" And that the following is a copy of the paragraph re-
ferred to as inclosed in the last stated letter, that is to say—
" Proposed Paragraph.—' We are authorized and requested,
with reference to an article which appeared in this paper on
the Bth instant, on the subject of an alleged discovery of a
Noble Lord's connection with certain recent stock jobbing
speculations,' to state, that the contents of such article, and
the whole of the insinuations contained in it, if considered as
meant to apply to Lord Palmerston, are wholly destitute of
foundation ; and we much regret that this journal should
have been made the channel for propagating what we sin-
cerely believe to be an unfounded calumny, as applicable to
that Nobleman.'

" Saith that afterwards, on said lbth of June instant, a per-
son from said William Boucher called on deponent, stating
that he had been sent by said William Boucher to offer to in-
sert a part of said paragraph so far as the word.' foundation'
therein, but refusing to insert the rest of said paragraph.
Whereupon said Viscount, upon being referred to by this de-
ponent, instructed him to take the present proceedings against
the said William Boucher, expressing himself dissatisfied with
such partial insertion of the contradiction required on his
behalf, as not being likely to remove from the public mind the
prejudice which the said original article was calculated to ex-
cite, and as this deponent believes, has excited against the said
Viscount."

The COURT immediately granted the rule Nisi.

There has been a good deal of Scotch business
before Parliament of late.

It was stated yesterday (Monday evening), that no
defaulters were declared connected with the settlement of the
foreign account of the 15th instant, but the Committee of the
Stock Exchange, who have been employed during the entire
interval in the investigation of the disastrous settlement of the
29th ult. came on Tuesday to the resolution of declaring
all the defaulters who were not able on that occasion to make
good their engagements, and to subject them to the usual con-
sequences of expulsion from the House. The • list will be a
very numerous one. More than twenty names are already
exhibited, and it is expected that a considerable addition will
be made to the number in the course of this day ( Wednesday).
The proceeding has been much complained of in many quar-
ters, an impression having prevailed, on account of the great
extent of the calamity, and the desertion of some of the most
respectable brokers by speculators out of doors, which deprived
them of the power, without any fault of their own, to complete
their contracts, that a species of general amnesty would take
place, and the penalty of default be withheld from all indiscri-
minately, but the Committee, who have bestowed very long
and anxious consideration on the subject, have decided that
such a course cannot be sanctioned without the utmost danger
to the credit of the whole establishment. As the fact is per-
fectly notorious that very numerous cases of default did occur,
connected with the settlement of the 29th ult., and as the ac-
tual parties- could not by any other mode of proceeding be
made known, every Member of the Stock Exchange, however
solvent and disengaged from the late' ruinous speculations,
would become more or less an object of suspicion to the rest,
and his transactions, suffer a proportionate degree of embarrass-
ment. There were, besides, many instances of default, the
parties to which were without any such excuse as that which
has been alleged in favour of others, and as it was impossible to
separate the classes, it became necessary to declare the whole
of those who were not able to pay in full, leaving to those who
have behaved most honourably, or who are least in fault, all the
advantage of their good conduct in obtaining the sooner re-ad-
mission into the Stock Exchange.

TRADE OF THE DANUBE.—The Argo steam-
boat arrived at Gubuez on the 19th of April for the first time
since the opening of the navigation, and now continues to ply
regularly with other steam-boats on the Upper Danube, be-
tween Skella Rladovo and Galacz. The great steam-boat,
the Marien Dorothea, will continue its voyages between Con-
stantinople and Smyrna as soon as it has undergone some re-
pairs. The process of blasting the rocks in the bed of the
riverilear Islaz, and at the place called the iron gate, will be
resumed this summer with increased aaticity. A new schoo-
ner, which hoisted Russian colours, was lately launched at
Galacz. In the course of last year 224' ships'arrived at Ga-
lacz, all of which except three, that remain for the winter,
sailed again with cargoes. Among. them were, under Aus-
trian colours 15, English 2, Russian 62, Turkish 91, Greek
10, lonian 20, Saedinian 13. The number of small vessels
that navigate the Danube is very considerable. The value of
goods imported in Galaez last year was 12,056,077 piastres.
The exports were chiefly wheat, tallow, planks, salt, wool,
hides, wine, and cattle. The principal imports were sugar,
iron manufactured good, oil. spun cotton, rum, coffee,
earthenware, cinnabar, &a. The manufactured goods came
chiefly by land, and the cotton manufactures' fpe the most
part, from Leipsic. Large quantities of woollen cloths, of
Prussian manufacture, from Gorlitz, Kotbus, and Grunberg,
were imported ; and small quantities of lighter cloths from
Austria; Austrian iron goods, particularly slams, from Styria,
were in great demand. The prohibition to export corn from
Moldavia and Wallachia was useless, for there is such a scarcity
there that the farmers can hardly sow their land, and, accord•
ing to accounts received from various quarters, many poor
people in the villages perish from famine.
