CORN-LAWS.

Mr. P. BORTHWICK presented nineteen petitions
from places in Worcestershire against any alteration in
the present system of corn-laws.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL

Mr. C. BERKELEY wished to know from the Right
Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment, what had been the cause of the delay with
regard to the introduction of the Charitable Trusts Bill?
It would be in the recollection of the House, that the
Right Hon. Baronet had promised that the Bill would be
introduced by the Lord Chancellor in another place.
Three weeks had elapsed since then, and no steps bad
been taken with reAtrd to its introduction. If the Bill
were delayed till July, when the House was thin, he
should feel it his duty to throW every obstacle in the way
of its passing. He wished to know when the Bill would
be introduced ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Lord Chancellor was
entrusted with the Bill, and he had every reason to be-
lievt it would be proceeded with forthwith.
Sir G. GREY wished to know whether the Goierii-
ment had any intention of passing the Bill ; and,, if so,
at what time it would come before the House ?

Sir J. GRAHAM said that the power of introducing
Bills was in the hands of the Government; the power of
passing them rested with the House. It was impossible
for him to say within what period the Bill would come on.
Mr. CHRISTIE said that the Right Hon. Gentleman
had not only promised that the Bill would be introduced,
but that it was the intention of the Government that it
should be passed during the present session; and he
wished to know whether there was any change in the in-
tentions of the Government with respect to the passing
of the Bill ?

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the power of passing
Bills rested with the House. If there was any change
in the intentions of the Government, it arose from the
circumstance of the delay in passing the Ecclesiastical
Courts Bill.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the Right Hon. Baronet
had told them that the. Bill was to be introduced by the
Lord Chancellor in the House of Lords. Now, nothing
that occurred in that House could be a reason why the
Bill should not be introduced before the House of Lords.
Sir J. GRAHAM could only repeat what lie said
before. The Government were desirous that the Bill
should be passed, but it was in the power of that House
to decide whether it should pass or not.
Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY asked when it was pro-
bable that the Bill would be introduced.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the' matter was in the
hands of the Lord Chancellor, who had prepared a Bill
on the subject, and who would introduce the Bill which
he bad prepared into the House of Lords forthwith.

MAJORITY-NOES, 49.

THE POLISH BALL.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
Twelve hundred tickets were disposed of, and the company
exceeded one thousand persons.
There has been a statement in circulation that the Empe-
ror of Russia sent 5001. for a ticket. It is true that his Impe-
rial Majesty offered a munificent donation, but the Associa-
tion could not consistently accept the bounty. The offer was
declined, the Society preferring to be dependent on public ra-
ther than private generosity.
The Marchioness of Ailesbury's fancy ball dress was most
magnificent, her Ladyship wearing the superb costume in
which she attended the Queen's tel masque. The head-dress
(a coronet of diamonds) was greatly admired. Lady Seymour
(the Queen of Beauty of the tournament at Eglinton) wore a
splendid fancy ball costume, after the Circassian fashion, with
a turban head-dress of gold and variegated tissues.
The Duchess of Sutherland, Duchess of Bedford, Countess
of Glengall, Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Dowager
Duchess of Bedford, Hon. Mrs. Stanley, &c., were among
the ladies we noticed on the ladies patronesses' benches, who
were conspicuous from the profusion of their diamonds and the
costly style of their dresses.
Lady Charles Beauclerk was splendidly attired in the
" Polka" dress—red velvet and gold, with a profusion of
diamonds. Lord Charles Beauclerk as a Spanish nobleman
in the reign of Philip.
The several fancy quadrilles were then danced.
The Polka was repeated four times during the ball, and the
waltz, when the room was somewhat thinned, was danced
with unabated spirit.
It is deserving of remark that a vast number of exotics
were employed, in not only the ball -room, but in the adjoin-
ing rooms and, in the supper-room, the refreshment tables
were laid out in a very superior manner.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA. MARKET, upon
Ludgate-hill, No. 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL, Proprietors.-1
furthQr FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon
TEAS and COFFEES.

We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence
of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coming into operation. In
the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi-
nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now
enaloled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all
classes of society.
The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees,
are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this
Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The
best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall,
and their present extensive sale enables them to sell at prices which
can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses.
As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the
proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest
provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos-
sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to,
and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment
shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in
London.

The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality ;

the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years,
and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of
lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history
of the tea market. Sidney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction
in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior
value, they invite comparison, as the most convincing proof of
cheapness and confidence.

BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general pur-
poses, baying gained such great approbation, and the demand
for it continuing to increase, JOHN BURGESS and SON beg most
respecsfully to offer thus their best acknowledgments to the Public
for their liberal patronage of the same ; its utility and great conveni-
ence in all climates have recommended I. to the most distinguished
oreign connections, who have all spoken highly in its recommenda-
tion. It is prepared by them only ; and for preventing disappoint-
ment to families, all possible care has been resorted to, by each
bottle being sealed on the cork with their firm and address, as well
as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be
genuine.
JOHN BURGESS and SON'S long-established and much-esteemed
ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES continues to be prepared by them after
the same manner that has given the greatest satisfaction for many
years. _ _ _

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, June 12.
IN RE DYCE SOMBRE.

Mr. BETHELL applied to his Lordship, requesting
that those medical gentlemen who had been examined at
the Commission should see Mr. Dyce Sombre.
Sir T. WILDE and Mr. WAKEFIELD opposed this ap-
plication, contending that Mr. Dyco Sombre ought not
to be seen by any medical gentleman, unless such as he
approved of, or those his Lordship might think proper
to appoint.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought it desirable
that some of the medical gentlemen previously examined
should see Mr. Dyce Sombre, but not those to whom he
might object ; in addition to whom he would direct
some other medical gentlemen to have an interview, and
would himself see Mr. Dyce Sombre.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 12.
(Sittings in Banco.) .

THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OE STOMPS.-MAN,

DANUEL

Mr. KELLY applied for a rule nisi for a mandamus
calling upon the Commissioners of Stamps to pay back
the sum of 1,2001. which they had received as legacy
duty from the executors of a Mr. Strachey. It ap-
peared that Mr. Strachey had by his will left the whole
of his property to his executors, who, being strangers in
blood, had to pay 1,2001. as legacy duty to the Commis-
sioners of Stamps, being at the rate of ten per cent.
The heir at law, Mrs. Taverner, afterwards brought an
action of ejectment against the executors, and recovered
a verdict, thus setting aside Mr. Strachey's will. The
probate bad subsequently been revoked in the ecclesias-
tical court, and Mrs. Taverner had taken possession of
the property by agreement with the executors, who had
subsequently applied for the return of the 1,2001., or for
an allowance of it on account with Mrs. Taverner. The
Commissioners had refused so to do, on the ground that
the executors had derived some advantage from the ar-
rangement with Mrs. Taverner, but they offered to allow
a smaller sum. The application was made under the
provisions of the Stamp Act.
Lord DENMAN—You may take your rule.
BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

Lord DENMAN—I may as well state that we have sent
ail announcement to the Gazette, that this Court will sit
from Monday, the 24th of June, to the Thursday fol-
lowing inclusive. This I hope will produce no incon-
venience. We shall take the Great Western case first,
if it is ready; we shall then take the Crown paper,
then a selection of cases from the special paper, and
then proceed to the new trial paper.

GREENWICH PARK.

Mr. HUME begged the Hon. Secretary of the
Admiralty to explain what he had stated the other
evening as to the excavations in Greenwich Park, and
the destruction of the ancient barrows, as his remarks
had been misunderstood.

Mr. S. HERBERT said that a public meeting had
been called, protesting against the destruction of those
barrows, and in consequence of remonstrances which had
been made a stop had been put to their removal. As they
had been opened before not much injury would be
done to them, and whatever injury was done would be
repaired.

In answer to a question from Mr. HAWES,
The Earl of LINCOLN said that an application had
been made on the part of the Admiralty Board for park-
ground to build certain houses for some of the official re-
sidents, and desiring that some land might be attached
for the sake of privacy. This proposition, on the part of
the Admiralty, was objected to, but he proposed to give
them a different portion of the park, to which no objec-
tion could be made.

residing in Bates'-buildings, Broad-wall, Stamford-street,

DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY GLEHLyoN.—
We regret to announce the death of the Dowager Lady Glen-
lyon. The melancholy event took place at Dunkeld on the
21st instant, after a protracted illness, which her Ladyship
bore with exemplary fortitude. Her Ladyship was the
daughter of Hugh, the late Duke of Northumberland, and
sister of the present Duke, and was married in 1810 to Lord
James Murray, second son of the late Duke of Athol, and
brother of the present Duke. His Lordship was raised to
the peerage by the title of Lord Glenlyon in July, 1821, and
expired on the 12th of October, 1837. The present Lord
Glenlyon, the Hon. Charlotte Augusta Murray, the Hon.
James Murray, and the Hon. Mrs. Maynard survive their
respected parent.

SUDDEN DEATH TN TIIE THAMES TUNNEL.—Yester-
day morning, about nine o'clock, a poor woman, named
Webb, residing at No. 36, Vincent-street, Stepney, and who
procured a precarious subsistence by mangling, whilst pass-
ing through the Thames Tunnel, with her son, on arriving
at the Rotherhithe side, and when iu the act of ascending
the steps, having got up about half-way, dropped suddenly
dead.

rife, and, with the exception of the following investments
we did not remark anything of influential importance. It
was stated that a judge's order had been obtained for the
examination of Running Rein's mouth, with a view to de-
termine his age, as far as the judgment of veterinary sur-
geons could establish that important point; but whether the
order will be complied with remains to be seen. Both par-

Orlando had clearly gained additional confidence, although
his friends were not disposed to back their opinions by in-

Sir J. GRAHAM said that her Majesty's Government

of Turnpikes for Wales, the provisions of which Bill
would, by some small alterations, be rendered applicable
to England. If the House consented to pass the mea•
sure for South Wales, he intended, after some experi..

HAMBURGH MAIL.

BERLIN, JUNE 17.—We know nothing more than
what we find in the newspapers of the object of the
Emperor of Russia's visit to London. Many, probably,
ascribe it to the impending change in the Oriental policy.
We know from good authority that the Emperor's visit
was connected with the possibility of a marriage of h:s
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge to her Im-
perial Highness the Grand Duchess Olga, who was in-

STOCKHOLM, JUNE 14.—The State Gazette contains
the following article :—" While the discussions in the
journals on the Prince de Joinville's pamphlet have at-
tracted public attention in France and England to the
naval warfare, which will be produced by the use of
steamers, a more extensive work is in the press here,
and will shortly be published by one of our ablest naval
officers ; it treats the subject in all its details, and will
throw great light upon it, and we may venture to pro-
phecy that it will excite the greatest interest iu Europe
and America."

GREENWICH PARK.

Mr. HUME begged the Hon. Secretary of the
Admiralty to explain what he had stated the other
evening as to the excavations in Greenwich Park, and
the destruction of the ancient barrows, as his remarks
had been misunderstood.

Mr. S. HERBERT said that a public meeting had
been called, protesting against the destruction of those
barrows, and in consequence of remonstrances which had
been made a stop had been put to their removal. As they
had been opened before not much injury would be
done to them, and whatever injury was done would be
repaired.
In answer to a question from Mr. HAWES,
The Earl of LINCOLN said that an application had
been made on the part of the Admiralty Board for park-
ground to build certain houses for some of the official re-
sidents, and desiring that some land might be attached
for the sake of privacy. This proposition, on the part of
the Admiralty, was objected to, but he proposed to give
them a different portion of the park, to which no objec-
tion could be made.
TURNPIKES.

In answer to a question from Gen. JOHNSON on the
subject of the Turnpike Bill,
Sir J. GRAHAM said that her Majesty's Government
intended shortly to introduce a measure on the subject
of Turnpikes for Wales, the provisions of which Bill
would, by some small alterations, be rendered applicable
to England. If the House consented to pass the mea-
sure for South Wales, he intended, after some experi-
ence of its working, then to introduce a Bill for England
and Wales.

Hon. Gentleman whether he intended to bring in a Bill

duce a Bill to regulate the law of settlement, but it was
not his intention to pass it this session.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 24.
(Trial at Bar.)

THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN, ON A PETITION OP RIGHT.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, this morning, opened the case,
in opposition to the Baron's claim. He denied that the Go-
vernment had ever received funds to liquidate the Baron
de Bode's claim. The convention for the payment of
a certain sum by France for the claim, was entered
into in 1818, while the Baron did not make his claim until
1819. It was perfectly competent for the Commissioners to
have refused to entertain this claim at all, inasmuch as he
had not put in his claim in time; but instead of that they
admitted his claim and investigated it ; they had no interest
whatever in dociding against his claim. They, however, felt
bound to decide against it. The Court of Appeal, the Com-
mittee of the Privy Council, at which sat Lord Stowell and
Sir W. Grant, also decided against the claim. So that, ad-
mitting
every fact as stated by Baron de Bode, his claim had.
been adjudicated on according to Act of Parliament and re-
jected, and he had no locus standi in the Court, and had no
right to come forward under this obsolete form of proceeding.
Besides, how was it possible he could say that her present Ma-
jesty had received a sum of money for his use ? She had no con-
trol over this fund. Her Royal predecessor had no control over
it. It had been paid into the Bank under the provisions of an
Act of Parliament, and Geo. 4, in whose reign it had been so
paid, and had no authority over it. Therefore, they might re-
tnrn a general verdict that her Majesty had no such pro-
' perty in her possession ; but he apprehended that they
would hardly be satisfied that the cession of the property was
legal, or that the Baron was'a British subject. lie was most
anxious that it should be thoroughly understood that every
facility lied been given to the Baron de Bode to prove his
claim, and that the observations which had been made on
the hardness with which he had been treated were utterly
unfounded.
Lord DEN3LIN then proceeded to sum up, and, after briefly
alluding to the unusual mode of proceeding by petition
right, and explaining the various steps taken under its
authority, from the time of its presentation to the Lord
Chancellor to the present moment, his Lordship went on to
offer some observations on the evidence. There could be no
doubt but that the petitioner was born in England, and of an
English mother. Neither could there be any doubt but that
by the treaty of Weatplialia, by which Abace IVAN tram-

" The intelligence by the Caledonia is any thing but favour-
able to those who have dipped into the cotton speculations
on this side the water. The decline of about id. per pound
on our great staple cannot but result in great pecuniary logs
to present holders, and those who have advanced freely on
consignments, to some of whom, in the southern cities, it
will probably be disastrous. Money continued to.be abun,

residing in Bates'-buildings, Broad-wall, Stamford-street,
having quarrelled and fought, Mullins struck Flood a violent

DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY GLENLYON.—
We regret to announce the death of the Dowager Lady Glen-
lyon. The melancholy event took place at Dunkeld on the
21st instant, after a protracted illness, which her Ladyship
bore with exemplary fortitude. Her Ladyship was the
daughter of Hugh, the late Duke of Northumberland, and
sister of the present Duke, and was married in 1810 to Lord
James Murray, second son of the late Duke of Athol, and
brother of the present Duke. His Lordship was raised to
.the peerage by the title of Lord Glenlyon in July, 1821, and
expired on the 12th of October, 1837. The present Lord
Glenlyon, the Hon. Charlotte Augusta Murray, the Hon.
James Murray, and the Hon. Mrs. Maynard survive their
respected parent.
SUDDEN DEATH TN THE THAMES TUNNEL.—Yester-
day morning, about nine o'clock, a poor woman, named
Webb, residing at No. 36, Vincent-street, Stepney, and who
procured a precarious subsistence by mangling, whilst pass-
ing through the Thames Tunnel, with her son, on arriving
at the Rotherhithe side, and when in the act of ascending
the steps, having got up about half-way, dropped suddenly
dead. _
