and Mr. Ditehburn odgllt to Have known all about the mat-
ter, as lie was brother-in-law to M. and had been in
the office for soteral years.
By Mr. ERLE, for the defendant Sarson—The
was offered to another party, who hBd never examined the
books. Witness never had, and in consequence he refused to
buy. Witness was the means of bringing Bayntun's stilt to the
office, his brother being one of the executors. Was not aware
that any representation as to the profits, was made to the de •
fondant Sarson. Witness was not present when the arrange-
ment was made, or the agreement was signed. . .

By the COURT—Did not know that the Bayntun's suit was
to be removed. Ditchburn wa's brother. in-law to Mr." Edis,
and they assisted each other, when Ditchburn was in practice
for himself.

Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury for the defendant Ditcliburn.
Mr. COLE was about to do sn for Mr. Sarson, but
Lord ABINOER stopped him. Two Counsel could not ad-
dress the Jury upon the same cause of action.
They then called Patrick APlslamara, who was clerk to the
late Mr. Edis, down to the time of the selling of the business.
He had gone over Mr. Edis's books in 1826, for his own sa-
tisfaction. The profits then were about 5001. a year. The
Bayntun case was then in the office, and was a very profitable
one. Channell's suit did not come in till 1827. It was also
a profitable one, and both continued in the office down to the
time Mr. Edis parted ivith it. Witness knew the Bayntun
suit was to be withdrawn. It bad been a year in agitation,
and Mr. Edis knew it.

Cross-examined--He was aware that the profits of an at-
torney's business could not be ascertained without an exami-
nation of the bills.

By the CoUßT—Witness continued with the defendant
about two years after they bought the business. They brought
a clerk each. All the books and papers were handed over to
them.

Several other Clerks gave similar testimony.
Sir Giffin Wilson, a Master in Chancery, was attended on
the 4th of Aug by a person from Mr. Edis' office. lie then
refused to go on until another solicitor was appointed for the
residuary legatee. Mr. Edis then appeared for all the par-
ties. Another solicitor was afterwards appointed.
Mr. TIIESSIGER was about to reply, when
The Lord CIIIEF BARON put it to the Jury, whether they
were not already satisfied that the hop-merchant and architect
had failed in over-reaching the two attornies—it was in proof
even from the witnesses for the defendant, that they had every
opportunity before the purchase of examining every book and
paper connected with the business. If they thought that the
plaintiff' had been clever enough to over-reach the defendant,
they must hear Mr. Thessiger.
The Jury imme!iately returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—

The Birmingham Philanthropist contains some
unanimous resolutions of the Birmingham Political Union,
in which the members express their conviction of the neces-

to have the Municipal Reform Bill restored to its original
state, and for a reform in the English and Irish Church.
In conclusion, the members state that they do not abandon
their undoubted right to the vote by ballot, household suf-

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.—The Albion, of
Carlisle, from Limerick, laden with wheat, struck the out-
side Corragorane, on the night of Thursday, the 26th ult.,
and immediately sunk. All the crew perished, and four or
five bodies have come into one creek at Tarbut Island. The
stern of the boat having the vessel's name painted on it,
with some handspikes, have reached the shore. Corra-
garone rock lies near the entrance of Ardbear Bay, on
which, if there was a light, this melancholy accident would
not have occurred, and the vessel now wrecked would have
found an -easy entrance into one of the finest and safest
harbours in Ireland, Ardbear bay, whish is scarcely a mile
from where the vessel struck and sunk.

MADRID, DEC. 2...---The important discussion of the an'ct.'
to the address in the Estamento of the Procuradores
nated this afternoon, in the most happy manner. Great al!'

chief speaker en the part of the Opposition was M. Perpicai
member for Tarragona, who is described as the puppet.l.
iiidfiinet, de la Rosa on this occasion. M. Mendizabal, vot"
the three other Ministers, were presort each day ; but the
chief defence of the answer devolved on the members of the
Committee that prepared it, and of them the leaders were

limo anti Arguelles.
The answer, which, as being a mere echo to the specelh
necessarily comprised a number of topics, gave full scope t°
comments in various senses; but the forbearance of the orators
in their allusions to the dangers that tfireatened the country
three months ago would do honour to oltf:.r and more prac-
tised legislatures. Neither Martinez de la lbsa nor Tor e°°'
although present, spoke.
poiter
,The discussion was opened by Senor Puche, the Re
of the Committee, who praised the conduct of the Pc°l3,le,
and of the Government, and in particular the discourse of te"
Queen.
The Conde de las Navas said, that the nation and the
Queen having deposited their confidence in the actual Ministry,
he was disposed to do the same; yet ho wished to know whY
they required a vote of confidence? He would not refer to the
conduct of The former Administration ; yet, after' the exre"
rience of the last months, he could not consent to grant largo
votes. lie would riot oppose a limited one, which was inlPe:
rative in the present circumstances. There was a subject
connected with the answer on which he wished for some cs'
planation—that was the conduct of the French Government'
He recollected the obstacles which he, while in exile, had to
contend with from the French police, while endeavouring 1(,)
oust despotism in Spain ; and now he saw the Carlists
none in their endeavours to replace it. Why was it so ? Na
asked why were the,grounds of the next convocation not eV
plained ? He had never regarded the Estatuto Real as a fun'
damental law of the kingdom.
M. Mendizabal read the decree of the convocation, and
showed that the electoral law, and the other urgent laid'
ought to be discussed. It was not to be expected that the
present Cortes were to be told explicitly by the Queen that
the ment they had framed certain laws they were to Iv dis-
solved insteney, and another Cortes called.
Senor Gonzales supported the conduct of the Govern'
ment, but blamed the policy which had been adopted towards
France. The Government of that great nation ought t
beware haw they assiste:i the supporters of despotism in Spain'
M. Mendizabal said, that the French Government could not
be justly made responsible for all that took place on its
southern frontiers.
Senor Alcala Galiano, in a brilliant improviso, showed that
the country reposed confidence in the actual Ministry. The
present Cortes had to decide important points As preludes t°
the next important session.
Senor Cortes (a clergyman) made some strong comment!
on the conduct of the Papal Government, which he contendco
was injurious to the independence and tranquillity of Spurn' it
Senor Arguelles said that the conduct of the present I‘"'t
nistry merited the confidence of the Estamento, as it had tits
of the nation. A vote of confidence did not exclude a full 05'
amination into the manner in which it might be carried int?
effect. He would support the independence of„ the Spanis,'
church at a fit opportunity.
The Estamento then resolved to enter into the details of tbc
answer.
Senor Galway thought that it was too much to say the 312"
tion reposed implicit confidence in any Ministers.
Senor Arguelles contended that-the mist e the nation nett
showed how implicit was it; confidence in the past and preset
acts of the Ministry-
Senor Perpind maintained that from the representatives a,
the nation was the only true means of knowing if the cono,
dence of the nation was reposed in the Ministry. He did 11r
like long votes of confidence, which might be abused. Ile
complained of some overstretches of power on the part of dis
Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Justice said that he was fully prepared t°
answer for all his acts, when charges were fairly brought for"
ward.
Senor Alcalo Galiano said that the history of late event°
was as strong a proof of the confidence of the nation as 01
vote of the Estamento. He hoped the Members thought so,
and would support the Ministry favoured by the country.
The question was then put to the vote, on a nominal vota-
tion, when there appeared 111 votes in favour of confidence it;
the Ministry. None voted in the negative. Five abstained
from voting—viz., Martinez de la Rosa, Sampons,
and Perpina, and also the Conde de Almodovar, who being
Minister, could not vote in his own behalf. Count Toren°
left the house before the votation.
Senor Perpina spoke at some length on the 3d article, which
bore allusion to the foreign relations of the country ; and de"
manded why Great Britain should receive a preference ova
France, as the Legion of the latter country had saved Cato-
lonia.
Senor Puche said that the answer praised and thanked both
countries for their aid.
The Marquis de Torremegia in a long speech spoke fa'
vourably of the French Government, and of its mode of pro-
ceeding.
Senor Vega y Rio (a clergyman) complained much of the
acts of France, which, while it helped with one hand, struck at
Spain with the other.
Senor Galiano besought the Estamento to avoid dangerous
discussions and painful allusions.
On discussing another paragraph, Senor Perpina col;tended
that the Ministry was bound to apply for a bill of indemmity te
excuse the resolutions of the law, particularly in altering tbcf,
I name of the Urban Militia, sanctioned last session,' to that
0 0 0 0 National Guard.

Senor Belda supported this line of argument.
MM. Arguelles and Galiano showed that the acts of the
Government were warranted by the extreme urgency of the
case, and as for the bill of indemnity, sufficient opportunity
would be given for discussing that point when the vote of CO
fidence should be brought forward.
To a question respecting different treaties, M. Mendizabol
said he should be prepared to lay all the new ones before the
Chamber as soon as any shall be completed.
After some verbal amendments in the various clauses, an
some good humoured disc. assions between Senores Perpiee
and Galiano, all the clauses having been gone through, the
question of reading over the address, and of naming the
committee to present it to the Queen, was postponed until to-
morrow.
This discussion, which was interesting in the extreme to
Spaniards, terminated much to the satisfaction of the Liberals
and of the Ministry.

The news this-
night from Saragossa is highly satisfactorf
to the friends of the Queen. The column of Navarre troll
which had penetrated into Catalonia, and which, for several
reasons, found it useful to return to their own country uncle
the guidance of Guergue, had a fight at Angues, near Huesca;
on this day week with the foreign legion under Colonel Coro
and some Spanish Isattalions, in which both sides suffered con-
siderably ; but the foreign legion remained masters of the field.
The news of this night is, that this Navarre battalion has been
cut to pieces, and only 200 (if them have contrived to escape.il/
A courier is stated to have pro.f!et,ded with the intelligence
the Queen-Regent at the Prado.
The new levies proceed rapidly, and with the utmost trap'
quillity, according to the reports publisi,ed from all arts.
P
Some of the Portuguese troops have proceeded in swp'
boats round to Catalonia, where their prsi.scnce will prey!
highly useful. The letters from Gibraltar state that 2,20 u
will be soon landed in Catalonia under the command of Gen'
Dodging.
The rebels in Navarre are now stated to be much embari;
raised. Rumour speaks of various attempts which they ills
to make in order to carry the war into Castile and the Asturias;
but the Queen's army on the Ebro and its confluent 'rivers cow
tinues to watch their movements. Gen. Evans and the 13ritisfi
Legion form the reserve of the left wing, and maintain trail'
quillity in that neighbourhood.
The Minister. of Wm', Count Almodovar, is to proceedorl
the 6th to Briviesca, in order to have a conference with Ge:
nerals Cordova and Evans. General Alava, it is expected,
will also take that route on his way to Paris and London.
Count Almodovar will, as it Is expected, concert with the
Generals the most effective means to be taken, and his pr;A'
sense, as well as that of General Aiwa, will contribute to ad
'
to the spirit of the soldiers of all ranks.
The Queen's speech has given great sati;sfaction all throegi:
the country, which will doubtless be inereas,Nl on bearing the
manner in which the discussion has terminated this day. In.!
prospect of the speedy termination of the civil w,N., which 7
holden forth to the nation, encourages many to enter is value
t6I
teers, whereby they will avoid all risks of being called on
serve on any future occasion.
•'Senor Alcala Galiano has been raised to the rank of 'AU'
nister in the Royal Council of the Indies, in the section of th°
Marine. His son, who was falsely accused of having contri;
buted to the attack on Martinez de la Rosa, on the 11th
May last, and who has received from M. Mendizs.bal an or
pointment in the Finance-office, was married two days sineti to
a niece of General Torrijos, who was shot at Malaga. , „
General Palarea, who had three months ago contribute
much to put down the rebels in the neighbourhood of Toleildf
but where they have again made their appearance in consider
able numbers, having been named Seconds Valencia, set oat
lately in pursuit of the bands ravaging the north part of tb°6
province, and chased them into Lower Arragon. They tholl
divided themselves into two parties, and set out in various 4C.".
rections from Calceite. General Palarea has also divided .
troops into two columns, and sent them in pursuit.
One of the newspapers relates an old story, that Don Carlos
is about to marry his wife's sister, the Princess of Beira, who
is to come shortly to join him in Navarre. Don Sebastian i 4
said to have brought the Papal dispensation necessary for
this union.
Report speaks of some disturbances having broken out at
the Havannah, which contribute to give uneasiness respectiog
the island of Cuba.
Some of the Queen's horses have been taken off from the
pasture grounds of Aranjuez, by some bands of rebels 1111°
