THE MARK ETs.

CORN-EXCHANGE.-(THIS Dar).
The supplies of last week were much less than those of the
week previous, and this morning the market again presents the
appearance of short quantities of all sorts of Corn fresh up.
There has been a good trade for the few tine samples of Whest.et
market, and the prices may be quoted Is. per quarter higher than
this day seinnight for nearly all sorts that are in condition. Good
Malting Barley oath:4 rather higher prices, but we cannot altar
the quotations to-day. Beans of fine quality are also rather
dearer. Boiling and Grey Pease remain much the saute as last
quoted. For Oats there is an increasing demand, and the sup-
plies get less, this trade is therefore improving, and may be re
ported Is. per quarter clearer. In Flour no alteration, though an
advance has been talked of.

JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

Mk. Alderman WAITIIMAN rose to give notice,
that on Tuesday next he sho►►ld move for an mgu►ry respecting
the Arigna Mining and such other Companies as were connected
with the name of an Hon. Member.

Mr. BROGDEN wished that the Hon.
.Member
would be so good as to contradict a report in the newspapers, in
which it was stated that the Worthy Alderman had said that it
was at his (Mr. lirogden's) suggestion' he postponed his promised
motion until after the recess. •

Alderman WAITHMAN said, that he did not
know how the discussions pf last night were reported, but he had
nn hesitatian in saying that the conversation alluded to had taken
place between himself and a Right Hon. Gentleman over the way,
who wished that the subject of joint stock companies should be
deferred until after the recess.
• CORN LAWS.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the inha-
London, England, 1826-12-02

itants of Blaneheatei,praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws.

Lord FOLK ES.TON- E supported the prayer of the
Petition, and observed it Was most strange that his Majesty's Mi-
nisters should call Parliament together so early as November, tun
for any public good, but solely to bring in a Bill of indemnity for
themselves, for having opened the ports for the admission of fo-
reign corn, the only act of Ministers that had met with the appro-
bation of the public.—(Hear, hear.)—The people were crowding
the table with petitions for a speedy consideration of the Corn
Laws; and even the Speech from the Throne " hoped that the
distresses of the country would he speedily ameliorated." He

. -
(Lord Folkestone) therefore blamed his Majesty's Ministers—and
the country would blame them too—for deferring the considera-
tion of such a vital subject to an indefinite period.
Mr. D. W..HARVEY could -not see that a post-
ponement of the corn question until after the recess would be at-
tended with any bad consequences, and in justice to the Govern-
ment, he could not help thinking that if his Majesty's Ministers
bad proceeded to legislate on the corn question without hearing
the petitions of the people, they would have left themselves open
to a much more serious charge than that now preferred by the
Noble Lord.—:(Hear, hear.)
Mr. FLUME said, he had omitted to state, wheit

presenting the petition, that the petitioners in the first instance
prayed fur a general reduction of expenditure in the several de-
partments of the State, and they particularly called upon the
House to reduce all church property. The petition was then
brought up, and ordered to be printed.

CROWN pEBTORS.

Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for t; return of the

number of prisoners confined in the different gaols in England al
the suit of the Crown, together with the amount of bail required
for each, diatinguirdring the amount of penalties, the period
when the prisoners surrendered, and the nature of their respec-
tive offences.

Mr. HUME said, that there were many eases of
individual hardship arising from Crown prosecutions, and he knew
a case of the greatest possible. grievance.
A petition was presented from the Catholics of Wexford, pray-
ing for 4 removal of the disabilities under' which they laboured.
London, England, 1826-12-02

bill and other expences. The great grievance, as well as ahaurdi-
,ty of the thing, consists in calling Bills private, which are mani-
festly, and to all intents and purposes, public. Can, for in-
stance, the above case of a Bill for maintaining the Bath road, in
which the whole kingdom is interested, be properly called a pri-
vate Bill? The truth is, that none but estate, naturalization, di-
vorce, and a few others, can strictly be called private Bills ; and
were both Houses .of Parliament to draw this line, and abolish
fees upon all others, they would cut the Gordian knot, and give
great satisfaction to tbe public.—Morning Herald.

COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMAS, &c.

BUTLER'S PECTORAL
rience during a very long period has incontestibly proved the
superior effieacy of this Medicine, in all cases of COLDS, COUGHS,
and Anststyrte AFFECTIONS. By promoting gentle expectora-
tion, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight or recent Cold,
and a few closes are generally sufficient to remove those whirls
neglect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are
accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious
symptoms. Its peculiar balsanti.; powers tend to heal soreness,
and allay tic irritation of the z lungs,,in cases of Cough ; and in
Asthmatic Affections it assists and gives freedom to the Breath.

ROLLS COURT..--(T1IIS DAY.)
GIDDINGS V. GIDDINGS.
The arguments in this case were concluded this morning.
The MASTER of the RoLts postponed his judgment for a few
days.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wiststzwsrut—(THlS Day.)
Before Mr. Justice LarrLitmsrat and a Common Jury.
THE KING V. FISHER AND ANOTIIER.

Mr. SCA RLZTT stated that this was an indictment against John
Fisher and Henry Smith, the registered proprietors of a weekly
publication called the Sunday Monitor, for having published two
separate libels on Nicholas Boehm, the one on the 19th, and the
other on the 26th of February last, in that journal. The Learned
Counsel then read the libels complained of, as below, and pro-
ceeded to animadvert in severe terms on the licentiousness of the
Press, which, if not checked by the intervention of a Jury, would
prove a source of incalculable mischief. The paragraphs com-
plained of were of so gross a description, that no comment of his
could exaggerate them. They required only to be read to bring
home a conviction of their being libellous. The only question for
the Jury was, whether or not thedefendants were the publishers.
John Vincent, the clerk of the attorney for the prosecution,
produced a certificate from the Stamp-office, alleging that the de-
fott4ants.wers the registered Proprietors of the Sunday Monitor.
CrOse.exstuined by Mr. Bsitsuartass...The attorney for the
prosecution has not brought an action for this libel, nor has he
applied for a criminal information. The libels were then put in,
and read as follows :

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Princess Sophia visited the King yesterday.
The Duke of York transacted military business yes
terday with a number of official gentlemen.

The Duke of Clarence returned to his residence, al
Busby Park, on Thursday night.

We arc happy in being able to state, that the Duke
of York is better to-day. The accession of pain which Ins Royal
Highness suffered on Thursday and yesterday, has subsided.

We understand that the Marquis of Clatiricarde, in
consequence of the reflections which were made against himself and
his brother-in-law, Lord Howtb, with reference to their conduct
in certain transactions at a party at Richmond, with a propriety
of feeling which did his Lordship greatlonour,. abstained from all
public and private communication with Mr. Canning, until his
character was entirely exonerated from every possible stigma.—
This was done in the most complete and satisfactory manner, by
Mr. Ellice, the guardian of Mr. Auldjo, who, after an enquiry
into all the circumstances of the ease, addressed a letter to Mr.
Canning, assuring hint that he fully and completely exonerated
the noble Marquis and his brother-in-law from any impropriety
of conduct, on' the occasion in question. In consequence of this
letter Mr. Canning wrote to the Marquis expressing his satisfac-
tion at hie being thus cleared of every imputation on his charac-
ter, and offering to present his Lordship to his Majesty, which
the Right Honourable Gentleman did accordingly, at the levee on
Tuesday.

BUTLZR V. BUILD.

In this case, Lieut. Butler applied for probate of his father, Sir
G, Butler's will, which was dated in Nov. 1824. Lady Butler,
the relict of the testator denied the validity of the will, by which
she only derived an annuity of 20/. per annum ; although it was
given in evidence that the testator sold his commission in the
Army shortly before his death for the sum of 4,000/. Lady But-
let': was allowed to sue in forma. pauperis, but the Court was of
opinion that the validity of the will had been proved beyond all
question, probate was thereforegranted to the testator's son.

MACADAMISATION.

TO THE EDITOR. OF I HE SUN.

Slit—The author of the paragraph in your ,Paper
on the great blessings of Macadamisation 'is, no doubt,
much better acquainted with the properties of stone
for the reparation of roads, - than with the delicate
structure of the horie',s foot, or even the principles of
shoeing. I almost. doubt, if ever he possessed so noble
an animal as the horse, if so,. he would have contri-
buted a small portion of time, valuable as it may be,
in studying its comforts; 'and not conclude, as I pre-.
sume he must, that the foot of the horse is an insen-
sible mass of horn, capable of being hammered, bro 7
ken, and even crushed, with as much impunity as the
roads.on which it is so rapidly driven.
NoW, Sir, to confute the assertion of the present
system of road-making being a preservative to horses'
feet, let. me ask,•have we fewer lame horses now than
before Mr. Macadam commenced his career ? Gen-
tlemen Travellers, Post. Masters, and Stage Coach
Proprietors, will soon .caantince .ybur Correspondent to
the contrary, and that their Father's bill is not lessened,
or hoises shyer in visiting the forge. The ease of
driving, and the obstruction' to 'vehicles, I am well
aware, is lessened ; that' they travel with greater velo-
city, and hOrses at an increased pace but by so doing
what is the inevitable result ? extra wear on the shoes,
and infinitely more concussion produced on the ela9-
tic parts of the feet.•ahtl' jOints by corning in contact
with roads whose surface, in the vicinity of Bristol
particularly, resembles a lime and sand floor, except
mg when dug up 'and covered with newly broken
stones, the triangular points of which are then con-
stantly piercing and wounding the frogs and soles of
the horses' feet, making them tender, and frequently
proceeding to a state of :siipptftatiMi, by which the
animal becomes lame and useless for a considerable
time : let me also add the impossibility of travelling a
few Miles' without being obliged to alight and dis-
lodge stones confined within the feet. I think, with-
out being either a rough rider or a Bristol navigator,
the latter I am quite at a lois to comprehend the
writer's ideas on ;.it may be gravely asserted, that .theSe
are some a the least of the' blessings if our Mac-
adamised roads.
1 urn, Sir,'your obedient burnble'servant.

.Anoui
you
.with the fonndation of my.opinion 'for stating that
hard roads are injurious to. ,horses' feet ; ,you will
oblige me by allowing it to appear in your extensively
circulated publication, and' should the Macadamite
wish any further information on the anatomy of the
horse's foot, I should advise his attending a course of
lectures at the Veterinary College, when he will get at
" the secret worth knowing," expand his ideas, and
demi atruth, the result of many years' observation%

sume, however, that the Learned Gentlemaa will be re-

the Peerage, in which case it is most probable that Mr.

of representing the University.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—(IrEsTransv.)
The muster of sporting men was very strong, but very little
definite betting took place tilt between four and five o'clock, the
early part of the afternoon being occupied in comparing books ;
on the termination of which a few of the principal speculators,
whose carriages anti four had been in - waiting at the top of the
yard, departed for Doncaster. From a little after four till Hear
six o'clock, some heavy general betting brought two or three out-
siders up, including the Scotch horse out of Cramfesger, who
has three times ran as a winner, and is a strong promising colt.
As there was nothing worthy of particular remark in the bet.
ting, we shall content ourselves with quoting the odds at the
close of the room.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. Young last night made his appearance as Richard the
Third—a novel and somewhat hazardous attempt on the part of
this " last of all the Romans," inasmuch as his chief excellence
consists in the display of physical grandeur and cold monotonous,
hut-splendid declamation. Richard, we all know, requires the
very reverse of all this ; there is but one declamatory passage
throughout. the character, which, however, Mr. Young gives
magnificently ; and as for cold monotony, why, the usurper is all
life and animation, a volcano, with more or less fire about him,
from beginning to end, from the Alpha to the Omega of
.hip dra-
matic history. It may be imagined, then, with what success Mr.
Young achieved the personation of so peculiar a character.,--
He was, indeed, a Richard, but not the Richard, and pos-
sessed no attribute by which we could discern a resem-
blance to the Royal Duke ; further than a sophisticated
protuberance on the calf of his left leg. "There is a river at
Macedon, and there is also one at Monmouth, and there are
salmon in both," says some sage Welshman, when comparing
Macedon with Monmouth ; and Mr. Young, we suppose, arguing
upon similar principles, concludes that because his Rkhard is de-
formed, he must of necessity be the Richard of Shakspearc An-
other blemish in this gentleman's performance, is his affected
rusticity. He seem►as, indeed, to have mistaken Gloster through-
out, for there is not one tittle:of evidence to support the idea of
his having been other than a gentleman and a King : he was err-
tainly no dandy, "no pink of fashion,"--but the very filet of
.his
having been a successful man of the world, a searcher into
the mysteries of the human heart, and above all a despot, at One
of the stormiest and most intolerant periods ever known in Eng-
land these facts, strongly, if not convincingly, militate against
Mr. Young's innovation. 'Kean—our best Richard—dismissing
any idea of such innovation, took the character as he found it,
which therefore seemed to he one man of the world commenting
upon the•mind of another : his energy wail just such energy as
we should expect from Richard—impetuous, sanguine,' but never
overstepping propriety, whereas Mr. Young was fiery with effort,
sarcastic with vulgarity, and shrewd with the low sunning of a
plebeian. The rest of the characters were well supported, and
the house, we were glad to perceive, was crowded.

The state of the manufacturing districts is hecomingdaily
more deplorable, or rather, more desperate.. The destitu-
tion of the working classes is beyond precedent. No rents
have latterly, been paid, and nothing haiOieen left for the
landlord to seize but a truss or two of often used straw. 7—
Some of the poor' people, we understand, have forced their
way to town, in order to have a'peotion presented against
the Corn Laws, which they consider a priMary cause of
their dreadful condition. .The Petition which is from
Glasgow has received upwardi of 9,000 signatures, and
will be presented, it is expected, on Friday. The misery
with which they have struggled could not have been en-
dured, had-it not been for the . very strong dependance
which the operatives of the North place upon the intentions
of Ministers us to the Corn Laws, the modification of
Taxes, and Emigration. It was generally expected that
the duty on printed goods would he taken off on the first
meeting of Parliament, as a legitimate mode of furnishing
immediate relief ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer
not having communicated such an intention, the operatives
now look with intense anxiety to the Corn Laws and Emi-
gration.—llforning Chronicle.
TI4 redoubtable Mr. Boehsa has a second time expe-
rienced the advantage of our admirable Law of Libel.—
With the aid of an I?..ngliiih jury, it will be surprising, in-
deed, if he stops in his victorious career, till he have thrown
every Newspaper Printer in London into prison. Some
years ago, a butcher, of Tottenham, rushed into a 1:00111 in
which a tinnily was assembled, and after cutting the throats
of three or four persona, suddenly stopped, and when asked
how it happened, that, as all were in his power, he did not
liroceed.s,vith the rest, he answered he could not, for the
Devil flapped him in the face, and lie was tumble to see.
Some of our contemporaries may wish for some auxiliary
to flap Mr. Boehm. What alarms us most, is lest the.
pious Archbishop of York, who dismissed him from the
Royal Academy of Music, should have inadvertently laid
► himself open to proAecution. iSut his Grace, and the other
patrons of the Institution, will, perhaps, soften Mr. Bochsa,
by restoring him to his situation.—ibid.

and confessed the defamatory words contained in thr libel., whiult conveyed an imputation on the chastity of the complaisant.
The Court recommended her to conduct herself with more pro-
priety for the future, and ordered that she should poi form the
usual penance in the vestry room of the parish of All Saints,
Poplar, on Sunday next, and be condemned to pay all the casts
of the suit.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' 'COURT—(rafts Day.)
John Latimer came up to be heard on his petition, and was
opposed by Mr. Pollock, on behalf of Thomas Denny and Robert
Moffatt. He stated in his examination that he took the benefit
of the Act in December 1621, he believed on the fid ; had hi*
house burned down in June last, and lost all his effect,. lie re-
ceived 3004 from the insurance office, and laid out 201. in cloth-
ing for himself and family, as they had lost every thing. Those
clothes were nearly worn out. His wife was thrown out of the
window. To recover her health he took her to Margate and
to Calais—the journey cost him 201. 'With the remainder of the
300/. he compounded with some of his creditors.
Mr. HEATH for the prisoner, submitted that the iinf4tunate
Insolvent bud been oppressed by the most severe misfortunes :
those of fire and illness, and he hoped that the Coin t would dis;-
charge him.
The Court expressed their opinion that lie was entitled to his
discharge.
