useless ; if merely disliked, his exhortations may do
good, and he may purchase a few creature comforts
so necessary to all, however spiritual their occupation.
But in no few cases it will so +occur, that the tithes
and dues of his benefice are the only means the in-
cumbent has to support his family. How then is his
situation to be pitied.,, whose only support comes
from those tithes ardd dues which are grudgingly doled
out to him, or I.;)tallv withheld ; whose payment is at-
tended with 'execrations, and regarded as little, if any,
short ofd palpable robbery. For a time these things
must be endured ; but we hope a period will arrive when
justice will be allowed to have her sway. Until that
period does arrive, let the clergy calmly and steadily
pursue their rights, but with that happy discrimina-
tion, which, teaching them the distinction between
legal rights and positive justice, will lead them to the
golden mean ensuring them their equitable privileges,
attended with the love and respect of their flocks.

THE CURRENCY-IRELAND.

(From the Freeman's Journal.)

We see with pleasure that the course suggested in this.
Journal a few days ago .has been followed by some re-
spectable individuals, on whom the preVailing fraud of
demanding the same nominal amount of money in British
coin as was formerly paid in the Irish currency, was at•
tempted to be practised. They complained, and the
gistrates decided (as they were bound to do) that twelve
pence of the present coin was equivalent to thirteen pence
of the late' currency ; and should be accepted as full pay-
ment for every article which would have been sold for
ls. ld. Irisle, a-Week ago. Let every tradesman who is
the victim of this extortion prefer his complaint, and the
question will be speedily set at rest.

STATE OF TRADE.

Y"Ksnin . 1 —The apprehensions which prevail in Lou-
don, relative to all the manufacturing districts, have in-
duced us to inquire, rather minutely, into the real state of
trade in the West Riding. There is, at this moment,
we understand from
good authority, a brisk sale for wool-
len cloths, particularly
g . .
for the coarser descriptions of coat-
ings. But the best feature in this species of trade is, that
all the transactions are of a bona fide character—the re-
sult of orders arisin from absolute demand. Within the
last fortnight or three gw weeks, additional cloth-weavers
have been employed .

CIVIL SIDE.

The Court was occupiedin hearing cases of right of
cutting coppice wood, and the payment of an attorney's
bill of costs.

The only thing worthy of notice was a manifestation
of that unutterable repugnance which on this circuit we
find Walsh witnesses have to give evidence in English.
Lewis Williams, a witness of this description, being
put into the box, was asked__ti How old are you 2"
Witness—You must speak it in Welsh.
This was a poser for the Learned Counsel who put the
question, for it was completely out of his latitude. The
question was repeated over and over again, but no answer
could be obtained, as the witness "stood mute by the
visitation of Welsh."

Mr. Justice Barrough, by a little ruse de loi, obtained
the desired effect.

The Judge—Don't you understand English ?
Witness—Nofl don't understand it at all.—(Laughter.)
The Judge---No ! Where did you come from ?
Witness—Prom Merionethshire, my Lord.
The Judge—Do you intend to go home by the same
road that you came
Witness—Yes, to be sure I do, my Lord..-(Laughter.)
The Judge—Come, I think you will do. How many
brothers and sisters have you ?,

V brother's and five sisters.
The Judge—That is very good English. Now you are
sworn, and you must go on and speak the truth.
The case then proceeded, but ultimately the plaintiff
submitted to a nonsdit, in order that he might bring a
fresh action.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF: CHANCERY—(Tuts DAY.)
• GEORGES V. GEORGES.
Mr. HART stated that he had a petition for his.
Lordship's consideration, in this old cause, and which
required his consideration alone, which was extremely
pressing, and to which he would therefore crave the
Court's immediate attention. In this case, the. Court,
from the best of motives, 'had endeavoured to break
down any thing like a spirit of
'time
litigation, by
making interlocutory orders from time to time. Mr.
Georges, the heir-at-law of the testatrix, and who
was entitled' to 'considerable property under the will,
upon his marriage, a good • many years ago, made
a settlement' of his rights and interests, such as they
were, in the West India estate in question, upon his
wife and the issue of that marriage. There were now
ten children, issue of that marriage, and during the
whole.period Of references to the matter going on, and
interlocutoryorders being made by the Court, no person
obtaining those orders, and cooducting the references,had
the slightest knowledge of the settlement having been
made ; the discovery had just been made, and Nva3
found that all such interlocutory orders had been ren-
dered perfectly nugatory by the execution of such set-
tlement. Messrs. Denmston and Co. of .Glasgow,
who presented the present petition, have long been.,
mortgagees and consignees of the estate ; they have
been reported by the master to be creditors to amount
of 2G,5401. and a fraction ; the estate formerly yielded
20,0001. annually of profit ; it was now so deterior-
ated in'value, as not only to support itself, but there
was a considerable debt contracting yearly to support
the slaves, &c. upon it ; Mr. Georges had taken the
benefit of :ths insolvent act ; he hard executed a great
many ineumbrimces upon the estate before insolvency;
and therefore parties interested, felt the abso-
lute necessity of taking some decisive and final step.
Under all these circumstances, the petitioners prayed '
that they might be. discharged, and relieved from all
these interlocutoiy orders, and their effect, in the making
of which they etitioners had acquiesced ; and that they
might be left at liberty to make the best use of their
mortgage deeds in their power. All the adults who
were interested, .had instructed counsel to c'unsent to
their application, though the counsel did not Appear -at
the. bar.
His LORDSHIP did 'not see how he could hold the
• mortgagees, to the effect.of orders made upon a mis-
take of what the actual rights of the parties were. The
Court therefore made the order, upon the consent of
all parties being produced.

SIR G. HILL ANDMIt., TI ERNEY.

It was rumoured yesterday,' that a rerione alterretion had taken
place between a distinguished Member of Opp°Ohm' and a person'
high in Mice in the Cotnmittee on the Small Note Bill. The
individual in Offlee elluded to is Sir George. Hll, who his ebtne
situation in the Irish Treasury, and Mr. Tierney is the
'guiebed Member of Opposition to wham the rumour refers. The
subject of the slight (for it wits not- serious) altercation is this
. Mr. Tte ItNItY complained of want .of fairness on the part of
Ministers, in the appointment of the Ctnrimittee. Ile had become
'a member of it, under an implied pledge that the metuture relative to
the limited period allowed for the circulation of small cuter in Eng-
lund, would be extended to Scotland and Irelad, except satisfactory
evidence should be produced to the Cuitunittee,that there were cit.'
cumstances in the state of these countries which rendered the
principle inepplieable to them, while no such evidence had
yet been adduced ; and the Honourable Gentleman threw out
an intimation, that the ComMittee was so constituted as t* in-
clude members, who (like himself) were responsible for the acts
of the Committee;yet who entirely dissented from the Ministerial
majority of which it was composed. It.was uncentlid and unfair,
that be, or others, should be made answerable for an act 'of which
he did not approve.
Sir G. HILL wise surprised to hear language so unconstitutional
and unparliamentary from so old a <Member of Parliament, and
from one who ought to be so well acquainted with its usages, as
well us, on this particular. occasion, with the declared intention of-
'Ministers. The object of the Committee was inquiry into the
propriety of the extension of a measure to likotland, and the mem-
bers of the Committee should enter into that inquiry like persons
'entering into -a Jury-box, divested of prejudice and partiality of
tiny kind:
Mr. Timm-retorted, that the Right Honourable Baronet was
at least se old a Member of Parliament as he was, and that he was
'much better acquainted with Ministerial praMees than during
'his life he had had an opportunity of being. He complained, diet' it
Was understood the measure entitled -io would be extended to Scot-
land, except a case were made ' out, justifying the . placing that
country on a different footing front that of England, and he thought
be was entitled to complain of Minister; in abandoning what he
and others understood to be their declared intention, without evi-
dence. Sir O. HILL briefly replied; and after a sharp rejoinder
from M.. TixatexY, the affair .drept„ ,
,It was not understood,
however, by the gentlemen, that anything seriously personal or dis-
respeCtfUl was meant by either:of them towards the other,—

of his singular discoveries. It was but the other day,
that in a prophetic mood, he discovered that a situa-
tion which fell vacant on the coast of Africa, was to
be filled up. But " Travellers see strange things,"
and our eccentric friend in his perambulations north-
ward, suddenly stopped at Sheffield, to edify his
readers by an extract from the Iris of that town, de-
scribing the presentation of " specimens of cutlery
presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of Yong:,
by the Corporation of Cutlers of Sheffield." Now,
we do not quarrel with our pains-taking contemporary,
for his anxiety to give the earliest intelligence to his
readers, but we assure him, that this identical article
of which he has yesterday given a specimen, was com-
municated (word for word as the courier has it) to the
public by the SUN, exclusively, on Friday last, copy-
ing which from us, would have saved the Courier a
wild goOse chase to Sheffield ; but probably our friend
was in the predicament of the Irishman, who did not
care how long the road was if it were not so broad.

Tai!tredi, last night, gave Pasta an opportunity of
displaying her extraordinary powers to a brilliant, but
not a crowded .house ; she was in fine voice—her exe-
cution of Di Tanti Palpiti was one of the most per-
feet exhibitions of vocal excellence that we ever wit-
nessed; it was enthusiastically encored, and threw all
the rest of the Opera into'the shade. Caradori looked
and sang delightfully; Curioni was as usual ; and Pe-
althouinth out of his place, acquitted himself
well. The Opera; one of Rossini's best, spent off ad-

Mr. Elliston last pight essayed ',the character of
Falstaff. Those who,, now: him in his range of cha-
racters can form a tolerable estimate of his success.
The performance was a mixture of excellence with
coinmon-place acting, butt. Elliston was never
dull: of the , variety of opinions expressed by the
auly Papers we subjoin several
" He never represented the hearty, lively, and cheery Knight i
be was every where the superannuated, . and; we are .sorry to say,
dull debauchee."—Representative. •
"In the chuckling laugh, and the rapid transitions from bound-
less merriment to graver sareastn,he is very successful; and in the
jovial, hearty, swaggering passages, he is irresistibly ludi-
crous."—Herald.
" No actor of the present day. possesses Suer natural requisites
for the part of Falstaff; to which a large stock of qualifteations
must have been added, derived from his experience of the stage,
and of the great drama of life itself."—Times.
It is singular enough that points on which it is im-
possible for men of ordinary capacity to differ should
be thus left to the decision of the interested 'or igno-
rant, and that actors should be flattered or injured by
the partiality or caprice of Newspaper Reporters,

OLD BAILEY.—(Tins DAY.)

OLD COURT.

CHARGE OF MURDER.
Ann Elliott, aged 42 years, stood indicted foil the
wilful murder of Wm. Bartlett, in the. parish of St.
Mary, Whitechapel, on the 2d of April last.
• George Lang, lives at No. 1, Brook-street. About
half past. seven in the evening of the 20th of April, he
was standing at the door, when WM.:Bartlett came up
to.him, seemingly drunk, the prisoner was standing by
him ; she. and the deceased lodged in the same room.
The prisoner retired round the corner before the de-
ceased came up. ShOrtly after the deCeased went up
stairs, and the prisoner, being at the top, pushed him
down, and said, " Now, what do you think of a West
country woman." About ten minutes after he heard
her say, "It is only one of your drunken fits." She
did not appear sober at the time.
Charles Mullet, a boy about ten years old, saw the
prisoner push the deceased down stairs. •
William Piggot lived in the neighbourhood; being
sent for he got half way down the kitchen stairs, and
saw the prisoner, having her arms under the deCeased's
head, as if she was trying to lift him up. He then
went down stairs ; there was a flag at the bottom, near
which lay the head of the deceased, who was bleeding at
the nose, breathing a little ; his skull was fractured, and
the blood came from his ears. He requested the pri-
soner to have him sent to the Hospital, but she said,
" Better let him alone till the morning, and he will
recover." Witness gave an order to the parish officers.
to have him removed to the Hospital, and saw him
there dead on the Monday following. The prisoner
acknowledged to him that she had pushed the deceased
down stairs.
The Beadle of London Hospital stated, that about
five o'clock on the 21st of April, the deceased was
brought to -him, and that the prisoner told him she was
not his wife, but had lived with him 11 years. She
acknowledged having pushed him down stairs.
Richard Bertsidge,, :a surgeon, saw the deceased
about six o'clock next morning, he was then dead.
Witness attributed his death to a fracture in the skull.
The prisoner, in her _defence, handed forward a
written statement, disclaiming any intention of injuring
the deceased on whom she mainly depended.
Two witnesses were called, who gave her a good
character.
Baron HULLOCK, in charging the Jury, said, that
there was no grounds of accusing her of murder, and
recommended them to find her guilty of Manslaughter.
—The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict of
Manslaughter.
John Langley and John Fippes were • indicted
for burglary m the dwelling-house of Mr. William
Aberdeen, and stealing therefrom 'three handkerchiefs.
The prosecutor saw the prisoners at his shop window
about half-past eight on the 25th of April. John
Fippes had put his hand through the window, and re-
moved the handkerchiefs. The glaSs had been
broken before ;—it did not appear that Langley
assisted—he got a good character. The Jury, con-
trary to the charge of the Judge, brought in a verdict
of Guilty against both the prisoners.

entrusted with a discretionary power to permit
importation. But with respect to the throwing
bonded corn into the market at this time, when
corn is not a famine price, after declaring that
they had no intention of releasing it this year, it
seems to us to be neither more nor less than imposing
a tax exclusively on the holders of corn, which ought
to be borne by the whole country. It is not enough
to say with a contemporary, that " the corn trade is
subject to regulations, the very essence of which is
uncertainty, and the notice of probable changes has
been time after time given." It was distinctly stated
that no change would be made this Session, and
it does not follow that speculators, in addition to the
uncertainty to which the regulations of the trade
subjects them, should be saddled with an un-
certainty not imposed on them by the Jaw. The
price of Corn has been materially lowered by the
announcement respecting the Bonded Corn, and we
see no more reason why, because a trader in corn is
subjected by law to regulations, the essence of which is
uncertainty, he ought to be subjected to a loss not
arising out of these regulations, than that Ministers,
on the same pretext of the uncertainty of the 'trade,
should order every holder of grain to deliver a certain
portion of his stock to the Committee for the Relief of
the Distressed Manufacturers. As the preservation of
tranquillity is superior to every other consideration, we
would willingly, for the sake of it, allow Ministers a
discretionary power to import ; but the interference
with the property of the holders of corn, to which we
object, cannot be justified by any necessity. •

4, DEATHS.

"..On Thursday last, the Right Rev. Dr. Herbtrt Mash
Bishop of Peterborough."

We are not usually inclined to be merry on grave
subjects ; but, when the Times made all the Lawyers
look black, and the Radicals blue, by announcing the
death of Mr. SCARLETT,itgave a colour to the story, by
relating the particulars of the Learned Gentleman's short
illness and melancholy fate. It gave « His last dying

" speech and confession, birth, parentage, and educa-
tion, life, character, and behaviour ;"—and there-
fore completed a hoax of the first renter. We have
forgotten how much the funds declined, and articles
of mourning rose in price ; but certain it is, that the
Learned Lawyer, one morning at his breakfast, saw
his own name figuring in the Obituary of the " Lead-

ing Journal."
The Representative has not committed itself thus
far ; but we do think a more, ample apology should be
offered for an unfounded statement, which, presuming
as we did on the extensive means of information pos-
sessed by that Journal, led us into an error, which we
sincerely regret ; although we feel infinitely happy in
the discovery that we had been deceived.

Mr. HumE's proposed measure of repealing the I
restrictive Laws against the exportation of Machinery,
was brOught forward last night. We have already
fully shown the injurious tendency of such a step, and
we are happy to find that the proposition was so mtich
discouraged, that the Honourable Mover abandoned
his project altogether for the present Session. Mr.
IlumE, who has certainly not done schooling yet,
had on this occasion a sound fogging from Mr.
Birch ;—such applications, often repeated, would be
of groat service to the ji gurant of St. Stephens.

We received German Papers morning, Ulf
eir•contents are wholly uninteicsting.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoile, dated Tuesday, May 9. j
PARIS, MAY B.—Sir F. Adam, Lord High Commissioner of
the lonian Islands, landed on the 18th ult. at Ancona, and im-
mediately set out for London.

Letters from Corfu, or April 9, received by the packet-boat
which brought Sir F. Adam and his Lady to Ancona, make no
mention of the battle said to have taken place before Ilissolonghi,
nor thelaking of Vaasiladi and Anatolico.

Letters frol Zante, of the sth, are equally silent with respect
to any later event. One of then► says that Missolonghi had pro-
visions only for twelve days; which Ibrahim knowing, he bad en-
trenched himself, and reiolved not to expose the life of another
soldier. Nothing was known at Corfu and Zaute of the arrival
of Fabvier and Gouras.

A letter from Corfu of the Bth, in the Diario di Roma, says,
that since the loss of Vassiladi, the Greeks in Missolonghi
have found means to communicate, by way of Pitala, with the
Phihellenes, who supply them with provisions. Six thousand
men were expected there, sent by the Government at Napoli ;
they are said to have reached Salons, and that Ibrahim had de
tached several regiments against them. A steam-boat, for the
use of the Greeks, had arrived ut Napoli from London. Colonel
Gordon had been at Corfu on his•way to Napoli; he was the
bearer of money for the Greeks.
The same explains, as follows, the burning of Ibrahim'e camp :
" The Arabs desiring to get rid of a swarm of speculators
who crowded their vamp, set fire to the barracks which the
latter had built. The Greeks in Missolonglii, thinking that a
revolt had broken out, made a sally, killed 9000 Arabs, and re-
turned with some prisoners, among whom was an officer.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

ELECTION OF SCOTCH PEERS.

HoLYROOD IIOUSZ.

Thursday being the day fixed for the Election of the Sixteen
Representative Peers of Scotland, an immense assemblage col-
lected in the Picture Gallery, Ilolyrood-house. At twelve o'clock
the Lord Provost and Magistrates arrived, and took their place at
the lower end of the Peers' table, which was set out in the centre
of the room. Immediately thereafter the Peers entered, and
arranged themselves on each side of the table.

The whole votes by the Peers present, the proxies, and the
signed lists, having been taken, the state of the vote was found
to stand thus :
Marquis of Queensberry 56

Tweeddale 56.
Earl of Errol - 55

Thus we have certain data to guide us as to those whose names
appear in the list of the division on that occasion.
It is not possible to decide, with equal certainty, in regard to
the new members, and those who had not voted on the occasion
referred to. There can be little doubt, however, of our making
a safe estimate for the cause of emancipation, by dividing these in
the same proportions as the members re-elected—that is, in equal
numbers on each side, after devoting one for the Speaker, who,
of course, did not vote. ,
Of the 100 Irish members, we can ascertain the sentiments
nearly of all. It is quite certain that 70 are friendly; two or three
doubtful, not included, The account, then, will stand thus :

The whole 658 members will not, of course, attend ; but we
think the cause of emancipation will rather gain than lose by that
circumstance, its friends being rather more active in its favour
than its eneinies against it. The only point whereon to have a.
doubt is, the estimate of the new members, which,, we are confi-
dent, is rather unfavourable than otherwise ; neither is it unrea-
sonable, all things considered, that we should expect a few con-
versions. —DuNin Morning Post.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JULY 17.—Yesterday afternoon his
MAJESTY, accompanied by the Lord Steward in his
phaeton, drove to the Castle, where he was met by
Mr. Wyattville. His MAJESTY descended from his
phaeton, and inspected his suite of apartments, fbrm-
mg the whole of the east wing, which when finished
agreeable to the present plan, will form the most mag-
tuficent suite of rooms of any Castle in Europe. The
corridor which leads from the grand entrance of the
south wing to the extremity of the last wing, forms a
beautiful passage of upwards of five hundred feet in
length, and sixteen feet wide. The ceiling beautifully
pannellad. The dome erected at the head of the grand
double stair• case, for his MAJESTY'S principal entrance,
from which two grand magnificent lamps are to be
suspended, is a beautiful and elegant design, highly
finished, with which his MAJESTY seemed very much
pleased; as also with the whole of the works carrying
on. After the inspection, his MAJESTY left the
Castle,,and returned .to the Royal Lodge.

The Duke of York, we are extremely happy to say
is so much recovered,, that it is now only necessary
for
Dr. M'Gregor, Physician in ordinary to his Royal
