" which be himself had pointed out." On di-
viding, the original motion was carried by a ma-
jority of only 11! Mr. CANNING then addressing
the .Mouse expressed his regret that; the measure
had not met.hetter jupport,—but from the small-
nessof the majority,.he should not persevere in
supporting the measure. Mr. ROBINSON then
moved, as an amendment, that WOO/. instead of
50004 as originally proposed, shotild be the
salary of the President of the Board•of Trade.
The motion was seconded by Sir M. W. lit n-

STRUCTION OF THE ROY;II,TY Tu EA TRE

BY FIRE.

About half-past one o'clock this morning this
immense pile of building was discovered to have
taken fire. The first alarm was given by the
firemen on the beat, and, from what was then
.seen, it appeared to have commenced at the back
of the stage. By half-past one the whole build-
ing presented one continued body of flame, and
the appearance on thi horizon was truly grand.
Tke height of the building, composed principally
of wood, gave every effect' to the scene,- Mid- a
farthing might have been picked. up on either
of the bridges from the glare. of -light. By
a quar4r to two o'clock the, engines from
dif-
ferent .fire.offices were in motion, but from the
variam'e of the wind ninny were lead astray, some
crossing the water, and others going to the north-.
ward. By two o'clock there were at least 20
endues ready to go to work, •but not more than
eight or ten could be kept going, and those, of.
course, with little effect. About a quarter pat
two, several of the adjacent houses caught lire on
the top, from the flakes of burning embers, but
we are happy to say, by the great exertion of the
firemen, they were preserved from destruction.
Not five pounds worth of property was saved
from the Theatre, and though no lives were lost,.
• we regret to state several persons- were injured in
trying to save the propety. At one o'clock all
appeared safe to the watchman of the house, and
So rapidly
.did it proceed that those in the house
• narrowly escaped. With respect to the cause of
the calamity, all that could be learned was, that
sonie of the wadding from the fire-works used in
the new piece, in which Mount Etna is repre-
sented, must have lodged die canvas, and.
Which being ignited, set the whole fabric in a
blaze. By three o'clock the whole of the inte-
dor of the building was completely burned to
ashes.

thought, be regarded as considerable improvements.
Mr. BARING wished 'to knoW whether the, Right Hon.

INQUEST ON ALDERMAN COX.

On Thursday evening an inquisition was held before J. U. UN-
wtN, Esq. one of the Coroners for Middlesex, assisted bj a most
respectable Jury, summoned for the purpose, at the Museum
Tavern, Museum-street, Bloomsbury, on view of the remains
of Robert Albion Cox, Esq. late one of the Aldermen of the
City of London. _ _

After the tunal formulae were gone through, and the Jury
empanelled, they proceeded to the residence of Mr. Cal, he
Hart-street, to view the body. It lay on a bed in one of the
upper apartments, and was much swollen. On their return to
the inquest room, the following was the evidence adduced fur their
consideration

Ann Jane Watts examined--I Nits servant to the late Alder-
man Cox. On Tuesday last, my master returned home from
Westminster between four and five o'clock ; shortly after his ra-
turn, I beard my mistress ask him if he had a palpitation of the
heart ; he replied that be had not ; in a few minutes afterwards,
being in the next room, 1 heard a groan, and after that a loud
scream from my mistress; I immediately ran into the room, and
found her supporting the deceased. Medical assistance was at once
sent for, and Mr. Ireland was shortly in attendance ; my Iniet'l
died soon after his arrival.
Mr. Charles George Ireland examined.—l sin a surgeon, aid
reside at No. SS. Hart-street, Bloomsbury. On Tuesday last, at
a quarter before five o'clock, I was sent for to attend the deceased ;
on reaching his house I found him lying on the bid in an ap-
parently dying state ; he exhibited strong symptoms of apoplexy ;
I remained with him for a quarter of an hour, during which time
I bled him in the neck and arm, and about six ounces of blood
followed the incision ; he died in about five minute after the
operation ; I made no dissection of the body, neither did I open
the head or stomach, the cause of death being sufficiently apparent ;
I have no suspicion of any thing injurious being taken inwardly,
and am of opinion that the deceased died a natural death. I am
not in the habit of attending him, and he appeared to me to ha
about sixty years of age.
The evidence closed here, awl in summing up, the Coroner re-
marked, that the cause of death was so clear and so satisfac-
torily accounted for by Mr. Ireland, that he saw no.occasiou to
call any further witnesses. The Jury coincided in his opinion,
and at once returned a verdict--" Died by the visitation of God.'

CURIOUS FACT.--A few days ago, while some
workmen were employed at Mouswald Mauls, in clear•
ing an obstructed vent of a peculiar construction, the
following discoveries were successively made :—First,
three jackdaw nests recently evacuated ; secondly, a
powerful swarm of bees, in full operation ; and thirdly
and lastly, a most sagacious-looking owl, which ap-
peared very much surprised at so unexpected an intru-
sion upon his premises, where he had, no doubt, reigned
president of the above anomalous society from the
period of its first institution.—Dumfries Courier. .

CORONER'S INQUEST.

MANSLAUGHTER BY A WATCHMAN.
Last night an inquest was held at the Golden Lion, in Good-
man's-yard, Minories, before Mr. Shelton, on the body of John
Dalton, an inhabitant of that neighbourhood.
The Coroner and Jury having taken a view of the body, the
following evidence was brought forward.
Mrs. Alice Wallis, of No. 4, Red Lion Court, stated, that on
the night in question she heard Mrs. Dalton cry out murder!
She went to the door and saw her, her husband, and two
men, in the passage,—one of the men was named Green,
and lodged in Mr. Dalton's !wise. The watchman came•
up, and dragged the men out of the house. Dalton, the
deceased, followed, and he and the two men were taken
to the watch-house. On the way she heard the watchman
say to Mr. Dalton,--,“ If you don't be quiet, I'll floor
you,'! and saw lam strike him several times over the knees
with a thick stick.—ln about half an hour after they had been
taken to the watch• house, Min-in was discharged, and taken
home very ill. Witness went to see him, and he said he was quite
sure he should die—that he felt very ill, and had been dreadfully
ill used by the watchman. lie lingered in great pain till Monday,
when he died.

in the Minories, said he was
Mr. Thomas Davies, surgeon,
called to attend the deceased' on Sunday afternoon ; he was labour-
ing under a severe injury in the abdomen and bowels, and there
were swellings on both tides ; his pulse was so low, that be gave
up all hopes of his recovery. He lived till Monday night, when
he died. Lie had opened the body, and found a great quantity of
fluid on the bowels, produced by a rupture of one of the intestines
in the abdomen, which must have been occasioned by great
violence.

There being no further evidence, the Coroner summed' up, and
commented thereon as he proceeded.. He said it was quite clear
the watchman bad caused the man a death ; therefore the verdict
of the Jury must b that of manslaughter:
Tl►e Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of .4firn-
slau9hter against the 'watchman, Iv" was committed to Novgate
for trial.

It appears that the friends of Mr. Fysehe Palmer still entertain
hopes of turning the tables upon their opponents; a scrutiny is
now openly talked of, and, notice having been given by means of
handbills, a meeting took place at the Crown Inn yesterday even-
ing, which was numerously attended, when certain resolutions
were agreed to relative to. the plan to be adopted in order to obtain
their object. A subscription was also immediately entered into,
for the purpose of defraying the necessary expellees, and a consi-

NORTHUMBERLAND, Al.wwwx, WEDNESDAY.

' Polling taiiimenett, to-day at 9 o'clock, and has proceeded up
to four with little interruption. Such is the enthusiasm for Mr.
Liddell, that an old man, exceeding a hundred, whose faded and
emaciated appearance jndicated that be was on the verge of the
grave, came to vote- for him, He was taken out of the chaise
to the polling-booth in meths arms; but he was first obliged to
get some wine and water to awaken his,senses. Two hundred
of Mr. Beaumont's voters marched into town in a body to-day,
preceded by a band and numerous flags, with various devices
emblematic a his principles. In display, Mr. Beaumont
heats all the other candidates, He has no less than three
bands, all dressed in white, the colour of his party. The
ear is eternally stunned with the discordant sounds of drums
and flfts;,--for the unfortunate musicians are condemned to
play through the town from sunrise to sunset. Mr: Lid-
dell has been fortunate enough to have won ever the ladies
to his side. They are quite enthusiastic for him. There
were a great number yesterday in the neighbourhood of the
Incsrifign, nearly all of whoM held up their hands for him. It
I said to be Mr,. Beaumont's intention to prolong the contest
as
long as he can, WI 4,41-T to try the pockets of the other Candi-
dotes, whose fortunes cAnnoi; bear expence as well as his. He is
considered to have the largest fortuife ip this county, next to the
Duke of Northumberland. Mr. Lambton is the Moving power
of Lord Howiek's party he has been attentively watching the
voters in the booths to-day, attended by his son, whom I suppose
he wishes to prepare for electioneering practices by early
initia-
tion. Timnfth much jealousy has been excited by his, active in-
terference, Lord Howi:ir is so young a man (not more than
twenty .two), that his. party woold have slumbered at their
post without Mr. Lambton's assistanes: The majority of
the aergy, of course, support Mr. Bell, between Whom
and them these js a coincidence of principle, but their influence
dogs not predeminate. This is what is (!tilled a Catholic county,
thert? being a great number of Catholics of property resident in it.
Sfeloo Catholic voters, who will be effective, as the Oath of
Abjuration boa not been put, besides their indirect influence, which

been spoken by the defendant being, " he," meaning
Hale, " is forsworn, I can bring witnesses to prove it,
any person that knows him would not sit on a Jury
with him." The Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff.

A rule to thew cause why judgment should not be
arrested having been obtained last term, Mr. Pol-

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR APRIL.

A dry March (for the few showers were inconsequential excep-
tions) has forwarded and benefited the agriculture of` the country
to the utmost limit of the old rule; but warm April showers are
now in request, to complete the prospect. The weather, indeed,
during both months, has been remarkably variable, with high
winds, occasional frosts, and the 'general temperature has been
low or cool. Never, however, did the productions of the earth
receive less damage from atmospheric influence ; and if the leaves
of the wheat in exposed situations have lost colour, our most im-
portant crop has received a salutary check to that over luxuri-
ance, which tends more to.the production of straw than corn.—
A great and commendable activity has pervaded the whole coun-
try; the utmost advantage has been taken of a most favourable
spring, and it has had its reward, for never did the fields of Bri-
tain afford a fairer prospect of a generally plentiful harvest. A
favourable blooming season for the wheats, and moderate rains
' during the reign of Saint Swithin, unattended by cold easterly
winds, now form the chief object of our solicitude. The clays
never worked better; or turned up a finer mould to the harrow,
promising a famous crop of beans. All the spring crops are
finished, and indeed above ground, on forward soils. The barley
on light soils, universally, is perhaps as thick set, luxuriant, and
healthy a crop, as has been seen for many years.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THui DAT.)
MORSE v. LORD ORMONDE.
His LORDSHIP prefaced his judgment in this case
by saying, he was about to pronounce an opinion that
was not unattended with doubt ; he could not recon-
cile his judgment with all the cases to be found in the
books, but it was his duty to pronounce his own opi-
nion, upon the best` consideration lie could give to the
case, and if he were wrong, he would have to be
set right by an application to be made elsewhere.
The question arose upon the will of Mrs. Sarah
Price Clarke, and was, whether the author of the
Will, did not mean such issue of her own children,
as the parties to take the property, as she had advert-
ed toin the limitation of the property itself ? Upon
the most mature consideration, his Lordships' opinion
was, that that was the meaning of the' words, and
therefore, the Vice Chancellors' judgment, which had
been appealed against, was ordered to be confirmed.
Mr. HORNE applied for the costs of all parties, to
be paid out of the estate, as the difficulty had been
created by the Will itself.
His LORDSHIP thought it a very fit case for all the
costs to come out of the estate, and the order was
made accordingly.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tuts DAY.)
WYNN V. BROWN.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered,
to which the defendant plea4ed a sett-off in part, and
paid the remainder into Court. It appeared that the
goods were purchased from Messrs. Clarke and Page,
as the principal proprietors, whereas, in fact, they were
only agents to the plaintiff; and the sett-off made by
the defendant was for money due to him, being the
vender. The Lord Chief Justice, before whom it had
been tried, nonsuited the plaintiff; on the ground that
the sett-off was good, as Messrs. Clarke and Page
were factors, with a del credere commission, and not'
merely brokers, and consequently were to be looked
on as principals.
A rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not
be set aside having been obtained this term, Messrs.-
Campbell and Withman argued against the rule, and
Messrs. Gurney and Chitty in support of it.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that this was
very important thing to be known by the commercial
world. If he thought a new trial could throw any
further light on the nature of the commission under
which the venders acted, he would willingly grant it.
Mr. GURNEY said he would inform the Court on
Tuesday if any further information on that subject
could be obtained.

WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

When his Lordship came into Court, he brought
with him the mass of affidavits he had been furnished
with in this case, and stated he had now marked on
an annexed paper all the passages he had alluded to
on a former occasion, as requiring to be answered,
which he begged to hand down for that purpose.
Mr. HART said, the Solicitors were not in Court ;
but if his Lordship would have the goodness to retain
the affidavits and paper until they Could arrive on both
sides, for fear of mistake, he would send for them imp
mediately.
His LORDSHIP consented, and the Solicitors were
accordingly sent for to receive them.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 28.
HAWKINS V. MAULE.-.-.A WARD.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was very late in coming
into Court this morning, in consequence of having
been detained in his private room, attended by Mr.
Hart, Mr. Shadwell, and n string of other Counsel,
Solicitors, and parties, upon this case, concerning the
marriage of a ward. The proposed marriage was re-
sisted, and we heard that a medical gentlemen had
made an affidavit, stating that it would not be for the
benefit of the young lady that she should suffer any
perturbation or irritation until she came of age!
According to this doctrine, probably when 'a young
lady turns the corner of twenty-one, irritation and
perturbation may do her no harm, or have a very im-
material effect.
The result *of the petition was, that the Lord Chan-
cellor made an order, referring it to the Master to en-
quire, and state whether the proposed marriage was
a fit and proper marriage, the father of the ward
covenanting to go before the Master to confirm the
proposal : and that if the Master should find it to be
a proper marriage, that he should next proceed to ap-
prove of a proper settlement, regard being had to the
lady's present and probable fortune.

LORD GRANTLEY V. GARTHWAITE.

His LORDSHIP said, he had looked again into the
bill and papers in this case, and be was clearly of opi-
nion the codicil or second writing did not amount to
a cancellation of the first will, and therefore the appeal
would have to be dismissed.

Mr. TRULOVE applied for the costs.
His Lordship consented to give the costs.
Mr. SUDDEN saw the parties in the country were
extremely anxious to have the Court's opinion upon
the question, whether the renewal of a lease, which
had been made,C was a revocation ? It had been taken
to be so in the country.
His LORDSHIP said, that was not a question that
had been raised at the hearing, but if the parties
wished it, he certainly had no objection to consider it,
and state his opinion.
Mr. HORNE observed that it would be most useful
if his Lordship would take that trouble. The ease
now stands upon that point.
IN THE MATTER OF TIIE STOCKTON BANK.

His LoiIDSHIP intimated that he had now made up
his mind to remove the Commissioners under this

Commissioners ; but that there might be no mistake as
to any thing to be done, and that that which had
hitherto been going on wrong, should now go on right

he considered material, and then dispose of the matter.

Mr. HoRNE beved to remind the Court that the

upon. It was really a case of the greatest distress.
His LORDSHIP promised to bring down the affida-

them all over and over again most carefully, and that
though he was sure no man could consider Lady Tur-
ner's situation without feeling sincerely for her, and
deploring her distress, yet that if the affidavits before
the Court were true, it was quite impossible the Court
could enlarge her payments. •
Mr. HORNE stated, that that certainly would have
to be left to his Lordship.
His LORDSHIP had read them anxiously, to see if
lie could order her an additional payment, but he did
not find that lie could,
