QUIROS V. COLLIER.

Mr. POLLOCK opened the pleadings.
The ATTORNEY-GENERA L stated, that this was an
action of trover, brought by the executor ofJulian Pa-
der, a Spaniard, who had lately died at Brompton, to
recover from the defendant 133 pictures,the property of
the decased, which the defendant had converted to
his own use. The defendant was a Spaniard, who
became insolvent in this country in the year 1820.
In 1823 he met Julian Pader in Spain, who advanced
to him 2,500/. to purchase pictures, for the purpose
of being re-sold in this country ; the defendant was to
have part of the profits for his skill and trouble ;
they were insured in the name of Pader ; both
parties arrived shortly after in this country, and
took up their residence together at Brompton.
Pader died in a short time, and among his papers
was found a document signed by Collier, stating that
he had sold the pictures to Pader, for value reeeived.
This document, and the admission by the defendant
of the conversion, was the only evidence offered on
behalf of the plaintiff.
Mr. DENMAN addressed the Jury, stating that the
document in question had been signed by the defend-
ant for the purpose of effecting an insurance, as in
Spain the property must appear to belong to the per-
son who gets them insured.
Mrs.Radcliff—Was servant to defendant at Bromp-
ton ; while he lived with Pader, defendant used to de-
vote all his time to the cleaning of the pictures; heard
Pader say, that he hoped Collier would make well of
them ; she always thought they belonged to Collier.
The ATTORNEY-GZNERAL replied and said, that
the pictures which the last witness 'had sworn to have
been attended to by Collier, at Brompton, were not
the pictures in question, as the latter have been from
their arrival to this day' in the docks.

been signed for the purpose of effecting the insurance,
then a verdict should be for the defendant.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

HARWICH, JULY 4.—The launch of a very fine steam vessel,
to be employed u a Post Office Packet on the Milford station,
took place this day ; but by some unforeseen accident she went
only about half way down the slip, where she now lies. The
tides are however rising, and there is little doubt of her being got
off safe the next night tide.
We are happy to find that the account of the death of Mr.
Human, late Purser of the Pylades, in the West Indica, is not
correct, that Officer having arrived at Plymouth, having been
invalided.

His Majesty's Revenue cruiser, Cheerful, commanded by Lieut.
Dabine, R.N. while cruising off St. David's Head, at three r.at.,
on Monday last, the 26th inst. discovered a smack-rigged vessel,
about forty tons burthen, which from her appearance they knew
had been in the habit of smuggling, called the Moore, of Belfast,
Wm. Watt, master. They immediately gave chase,. and on
boarding and examining her papers, found she had cleared out at
Swansea on the 11itd ult. with 22 chaldrons of coals ; however,
not being satisfied, they proceeded to turn up the coals, when one
of the crew acknowledged that they had on board 810 bales, con-
taining 18,6001b5. of unmanufectured tobacco, six rolls of manu-
factured roll tobacco, four boxes and one cask of green and black
tea, and seven pieces of paper-hangings, which, together with the
coals, stores, and materials, have been deposited in the Custom-
house warehouse at Milford.

THE EARL OF CHICHESTER..

It is with very sincere regret that we hava to announce the
'death of the Bight Hon. Thomas Pelham, Earl of Chichester, and
Baron Pelham, his Majesty's Postmaster-General ; which me-
lancholy event took place yesterday, at his Lordship's residence in
Stratton-street, Piccadilly. His Lordship was born on the 28th
April, 171)6, and consequently was in the 71st year of his age.—
He was called up by writ of summons to the House of Peers, as
Baron Pelham' in June 1801, during the lifetime of his father,
whom he succeeded in the Earldom on the Bth Jan. 18015. He
Lady Mary Henrietta Juliana Osborne, the
Francsi fifth Duke of Leeds, by whom he has left
children.ae-
vdmeaarilgralrhiedicoifnol
IBHe is succeeded in his titles and estates by his
son Henry Thomas Lord Pelham, now third Earl of Chichester.
His Lordship had filled several distinguished situations in the
Government of this country, and had invariably maintained the
purest and most respectable character as a politician, as well as
an English Nobleman.
As the Hon. Mr. Pelham, in the House of Commons, he never
failed to command respect. He commenced his official career as
Principal Secretary for Ireland during the Viceroyalty of the late
Duke of Portland, and afterwards filled the same office with great
ability at the critical period of the memorable rebellion in that
country, when the present Marquis of Camden was at the head of
the Irish Government. In the Administration of Mr. Adding-
ton (now Lord Sidmouth) he was Principal Secretary of State
for the Homo Department, which office his ill state of health
only obliged him to resign ; and on his succeeding to the Earldom
of Chichester, he was appointed joint Postmaster-General, and
continued to hold that situation, and the office of Pottmaster-
General, to the period of hie death.

1M POATANT TO FAMILIES

riffillE BEST COMMENT on the Virtuei and
Renovating Efficacy of Dr. SOLOMON'S CELE-
BRATED CORDIAL BALM 01? till LEAD is the Cer.
tainty that Ladies of Fashion and Respectability End it the most
Efficacious Medical Restorative to be met with in various
Weaknesses peculiar to their Sex, gently throwing a genial
warmth upon the debilitated and relaxed frame, recruiting the
decayed spirits, di'aipating headache, dulness, and languor,
and creating a pleasing vivacity. The great extent to which it
is used by the Sickly,. the Nervous, and the Debilitated, proves
its unrivalled merit; to thousands of whom it is daily affording
relief which no other Medicine has supplied.
To those whom early-indulgence of the Passions—Dissipa-
tion, or, too great Reliance on Constitutional Strength, have
been injurious ; to the Sufferer front Lowness of Spirits, Ileavi-
nesa of Mind, Deranged Stomach, • Languor, and Incapacity
for Exertion ; to those in whom. the Digestive and Nervous
Systems have been deranged, and consequently labouring under
irregular and psinful action ; and to those persons who have
ruined their Constitutions, and brought on it perfect Tabes
Dorsalis, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions; or in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable Malady are
affected with 'Weaknesses and the ObstructionofcirtainEva-
cuations, this remedy is recommended from ample experience
as the best restorative.

A very important observation may be ritide in favour of this
celebrated Medicine, that unless its operation Was gentle, safe,
and efficacious; it could not have obtained the unexampled
demand it has acquired; for,
as it has rarely the great
gadvan-
tage of a persuasive advocate at the ear of the Patient, so no-
thin hut his conviction of its virtues, by its salutary effects,
can induce perseverance ; and yet reasonable perseverance is
certainly most requisite to enable even the happiest combina-
tions of Chemicals and Galenicals to rootout chronic diseases
and restore the valetudinarian to health. Much more might be
said in just report of it; for great experience has shewn that
none need despair, however dangerous their situation may be,
when so noble, safe, and efficacious a remedy is offered for
their relief.

EDUCATION OF TIIE PEOPLE.

. „
At a time when so much is said respecting the
march of intellect, and so many accusations heaped
upon the Clergy, as being its bigotted opposers, we
trust it may not be,miSplaced to lay before our readers
one or two brief extracts from a ,most luminous and
able speech bearing urn these topics, dcliVcred by
that learned and; scientific prelate the IliShop of Bris-
tol, at the last year's anniversary of the National
Schools at Bristol. This address, we believe, has
never 'been published, except in:the It eport of the
Local Committee, which is: printed in a late number
of that valuable ecclesiastical and theological miscel
lany the Cheistiao Remembrancer. These extracts,
we think, will require no comment.
" Among other charges," his Lordship observed,
which had been brought against the Clergy of the
Established Church (and all present knew that these
charges had been sufficiently numerous), it had been
said that they were unfriendly to the general educa-
tion of the people. It required no small share of
hardihood to make this charge at a time when four-
fifths of the Clergy (he believed that he spoke within
compass in mentioning: that proportion) were contri-
buting their money or their labour, or both, to the
support of schools for the education of the poor. He
alluded to the &et, not with the view of claming any
merit to the effigy on that account (they were only
discharging thelridpty, of which the religious instruc-
tion of the lounger members of their flock formed' an
appointed and most important part), but for. the,pur-
pose of showing that the adversaries of the Church
were -less solicitous respecting the triith than the -num-
ber of their :accusations."
Perhaps,. however, when it:was said that
the Clergy were unfriendly to the general education of
the people, the meaning may be, that they were un-
friendly to certain schemeS which had been proposed
for,the accomplishment of that .objeet, To theaharge
so limited they wool& without hesitation plead guilty.
They were convinced that, unless a system of edupa,
lion had religion for its basis, unless it was addressed,
not merely to the intellectual faculties, but also td the
moral nature of man, there .could. be no security that
lie would not pervert the knowledge which he might
acquire to his oWli'inkiry'and that of society," ,
Not that. the , Clergy objected to the !in-
struction of the'meelianie and artisan in those brinieheti
9f natural and Mechanical, philosophy which are
neeted with 'their respective occupations, but to the
principle of substituting scientific or literary acquire-
ment in the place of iuoral imirovement, as the ulti-
mate object of education." , The, Bishop.; ton
eluded by observing, that," At a time when the Clergy
were held up as Using their utmost endeavours to ob-
struct the march
.of the human intellect, it became ne-
cessary for them to show, not for the purpose Of assum-
ing merit, but in' self-defence, that they were exerting
themselves, lei; Obstinately, perhaps, but not less zea-
lously or effectually, than others, to ameliorate the
general condition. of the people."

ANECDOTE OF THE DUCHESS D'A NCIOULEME.—
I-ler Royal Highness has an air of tristesse and hauteur when in ,
public, which leads many people to believe her to be au enemy to
gaiety. As a proof that such is not the case, we give an anecdote
:elated to us by an officer of her household :—The late King,
Louis XVIII., had invited the Duke d'Avary to breakfast with
him. The Ducboss aware that this Nobleman had a horrible an-
tipathy to a mouse, and determined to amuse herself at his, ex_
pence,' ordered one of her attendants toinelose onc
i of these ani-
m44:alive in the roll destined for his breakfast, which was done'
by scooping out the crumbs, 'and pined so neatly as to. leave no
extraordinary appe.arance, The Duke unsuspicious of the dread-
ful enenly, he beld6in 44 durance," broke time roll and liberated the
'

•subdued him,.,The unfortunate NolilenaauP
and. trembling,
obtained. ermission retire, while the Duchess Was convulsed
with laughteett the result of her frolic.' •
SomP,Per§Ons affect to lie astonished at learning
that the numerous statements and resolutions, with
which Mi. !Tunic has .badgered the Ministers for the
last-few years, were 'not the result of his own labours.
;Those, who knew the Honourable Member never sus-
pected, him of being the author of any thing that came
13efore the house, un ess- it contained some blunder.

LONDON HIBERNIAN SOCIETY.

On Saturday the twentieth Anniversay Meeting was held at
the Freemasons' Hall,
Lord GAMBIER. in the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the object of the Society was to afford in-
struction to the population of Ireland, and in his opinion it de-
served the support and encouragement of the public.
Mr. WEBSTER, the Secretary, then read the Report, which
stated, that during the past year the total amount of schools formed
exceeded that of the preceding year by 49, being for the year end-
ing March 1825, 1147 ; and in March 1626, -1196. The schools
of the Society were either day, Sunday, or adult, and were distri-
buted through the. different provinces. The total number of
scholars in the different schools amounted to 66,497. The Re-
port contained accounts of the proceedings of the Committee rela-
tive to the Kildare-street Society, and concluded by stating that
the receipts of the last year amounted to 6,728/. of which

carried unanimously.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.
London, England, 1826-05-08

[THE REPRESENTATIVE.]

The more the measure proposed by Ministers in re-
gard to the admission of Foreign corn is considered, the
more every unprejudiced mind must be convinced of
its temporary character. Among other objections it
has been said, that the value of everyfarm will, by this
measure, be placed at the diScretion of Ministers ; now
surely this is not a power which, for any possible poli-
tical purposes, Ministers could wish to xetain, or that
the good sense of the country would allow to remain
in their hands. The simple statement of the case ap-
pears to be, that, the supply of manufacturing labour
in some districts at the moment so much exceeds the
demand, as to deprive the labourers of the usual source
of maintenance ; by this want of employment they are
thrown upon the ordinary and extraordinary means of
gratuitous subsistence ; if the price of this subsistence
be high, the means will sooner be exhausted, and
every measure that has a tendency to keep down the
temporary price of corn becomes not only desirable,
but indispensable. Continued opposition to this tem-
porary measure, if connected with the proposition that
has been suggested—of a Parliamentary grant of
money in aid of the suffering labourers, will subject
the landed interest to the imputation of seeking to
sell their own produce at a monopoly' price to the
State, and of being, therefore, hostile to the lower-
ing that price by the competition of foreign corn.—
Such, we are convinced, arc not the motives by which
the landowners of this country are actuated, but we
are rot surprised that the jargon pf political economy,
which spreads from the lecture-room of" the Northern
Philosopher to the drawing-room and boudoir, should
make them look with apprehension at all changes
in the existing law. Prohibition is, and ought to
to be, an exploded term in the statesman's code ;
but protection still remains a practical principle,
however abhorrent to the out-and-out political
economist. If the land be too poor to justify the
expensive system of agriculture required to ro-
i duce corn, imitate, say these dogmatists, the Ger-
man and Polish landowners ; turn it into pas-
ture, produce wool, work up that wool, export it, and
get corn ; or. if you can get better and cheaper wool
elsewhere, lay it waste altogether, le jeu ne vaut pas
la chandelle. Such, we feel assured, are not the sen-
timents of Ministers ; by them the , importance of
maintaining the agriculture of England in its present
improved and extended state is fully, felt ; and when
the general measure comes to be discussed, we
cannot doubt that ample protection will be given to
the interests of that class, which in the 'several situa-.
tions of landlord, farmer, and peasant, may be truly
said to constitute the foundation of our social edifice.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

DORCHESTER, MAY 28.—A melancholy event
occurred yesterday, which has created a strong sensa-
tion, and excited a general . feeling of sympathy and
regret. As Keith Fraser, Esq. of the 6th
killen Dragoons, (brother of Sir Win. Fraser, Bart.
and of Major Fraser, 7th Hussars) accompanied by
Lieut.-Colonel Keene and Captain Portman, of the
same regiment, was riding on the Downs, at Bin-
combe, near this town, his horse, a valuable, although
a vicious animal, ran off' at full speed, and reaching the
summit of a high hill, which on the other side was
nearly perpendicular, plunged forward, when both were
precipitated to the bottom, a height of nearly 200 feet.
On the arrival of Colonel Keene and Capt. Portman
at the spot, they found the unfortunate young gentle-
man lying in a senseless state. Medical assistance

heinipriicured as promptly as possible, Mr. Fraser
was conveyed on a litter to the Barracks. He
lingered in a state of utter insensibility till two o'clock
this morning, when he expired. By the fall the
horse's back was broken, and he was of necessity
killed on the ground.
Mr. Fraser was in his 22d year, and had only in
the course of the morning received a notification of
his promotion to a Lieutenancy. He was a school-
fellow and friend of Lord A. Paget, of the 7th

flussars, whose death we announced ashort time hack,
under somewhat similar circumstances. He was a
Young man of much promise, and highly respected
and beloved by his brother officers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL, M*
DEMIII. V. RUBINS.
This was an action to recover the sum of 2001. being a deposit
made ou the purchase of en estate at an unction. It appeared
that the sale took place in June, 1824, the conditions of which
were, that 15 per cent. deposit should be made, and the rest paid
in the October following, at which time the conveyance .was to
take place, The purchase was made, and the deposit laid down
by a Mr. Browne on behalf of the plaintiff, but on inspection
into the title deeds, it was discovered that the estates were subject
to incumbrance. On behalf of the defendant it was contended,
that as Browne war the purchaser, ho and not the plaintiff was
entitled to sue, and that he was now in a condition to make a
good title.
Verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court as
to how far the incumbrance created a defect in the title.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

This fairy scene of amusements opened last night
for the season, upon a scale of grandeur and attraction
which does the highest honour to the taste and spirit
of the managers. The plan is different in several re-
spects from that of last year. In the first place, the
concerts no longer take place in the open air, the
large round room, called the Rotunda, having been
fitted up as a very splendid concert-room, with a spa-
cious gallery erected facing the orchestra, and two tiers
of boxes on either side, capable altogether of holding
about 2,000 persons. By this means the company
will, in future, be saved the alternative on evenings
that turn out wet, either of exposing their health to
the risk of injury from the damp, or of foregoing the
enjoyment to be derived from listening to the singing.
The next alteration is, the conversion of the ball-room,
inside the Rotunda, 'into a promenade, arcaded over
head, and handsomely embellished on either side with
panoramic views of Florence, Turin, Naples, the
Bridge of Gronda, and the Falls of Tivoli. The ob.
ject here also is, to set the elements at defiance, by
enabling the company, whether they meet,
" In thunder, lightning, or in rain," _

to continue their amusement without interruption fron
the state of the weather. This arrangement, how-
ever, is not as important as the preceding one, inas-
much as the walks in the quadrangle of the garden
being canopied over, the promenaders were already
sheltered from the rain, although not perhaps from a
cold wind by which it is often accompanied at night.
In the other parts of the gardens there is the same
brilliancy of illumination and variety of

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.a(Tuts DAY.)
CATTLE STEA LOT 0.
John Johnston alias "Jack the Droner", well known in
Smithfield, was charged with stealing a pony, the property of
a gentleman named Gilbert, residing at Heston in Middlesex.—
A man of the name of Durand had been at Hounslow Fair on Tues-
day last, and was returning to Heston, where he worked, between 2
and 3in the morning. The watchman gave an alarm that the pony
at that instant had been taken out of Mr. Gilbert's field; a pursuit
was made, and three men, dressed in smock-frocks, were overtaken
some distance from Norwood Church with the pony in their pos-
session. The witness asked one of the inen from whence they
got the pony ; he replied from Hounslow and another of them said
" take off the bridle, Jack," and they turned the pony loose,
which ran back to the field. The three men being armed with
♦ery large sticks, threatened the witness, and made their escape;
the witness believed that the prisoner was one of them, but could
not positively swear to him.

Sir RICRARD BIRNIN being informed that there were two
other charges against him for stealing cows and horses, ordered
him to be remanded,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.--(Turs DAY.)
Au Irish footman, in the service of Lady A'Court, now stop-
ping at the Brunswick Hotel, was brought to this office charged
with disorderly conduct at Lord Jersey's, last night. It appeared
by the evidence of Scofield the officer, who was on duty there,
that he was endeavouring to bring up Prince Leopold's carriage
out of the line, coming up to the door, and to obtain precedence
to those before it, among which was Lady A'Court's carriage.
On observing this, her footman jumped off the carriage, and, in a
violent rage, attempted to obstruct the officers in bringing up the
Prince's carriage; he knocked the heads of the horses with his
fist in the most savage manner, and so resisted the officers, as to
compel them to take him to the watchhouse.
In answer to this charge the footman replied, that he was only
doing his duty, in trying to bring up her Ladyship before the
other carriage which which ha'f broken the line, and was conse-
quently acting irregularly ; he was very much ill used in being
taken to the watchhouse, which, he said, at the time was an in-
dignity that an Ambassador's servant ought not to be submitted to.
Mr. CONANT observed, that he had acted very wrong in ob-
structing the officers, who were placed there to preserve order,
and to see that all members of the Royal Family had the prece-
dence they were entitled to; and unless he chose to confess him-
self in the wrong, that he must find hail.
After some reluctance he apologised, and offered to make any
compensation to the officers, which to their credit they refused.—
He then paid a shilling and was discharged.

SHIP-OWNERS' MEETING.—(Tins DAY,

A Meeting of Ship-owners took place this day at the City of
London Tavern, for the purpose of devising some measures cal-
culated to support their interests, which they aver to he in a de-
clining state. Several resolutions were passed, declaring, that
unless some change wasithortly effected, the shipping interestswould
be ruined, attributing their want of protection to the fact of not
being represented in the House of Commons ; and requesting of
ship-holders, in all parts of the kingdom, to give their support at
the approaching election to such candidates us were likely to advo.
cate their interests.

Several persons addressed the meeting to the effect of the Reso-
lutions, and to chew that it was impossible for the shipping of
this country to compete with that of foreign countries, on account
of the Corn Laws. We regret that the lateness of the hour
prevents us to give a more ample detail of the proceedings. The
Chair was not taken till about half-past one o'clock.

The nishop of FERNS, after having referred to mine Papers
whirit he had caused to Le laid on the table, - entered into a de-
tailed bistary of the origin, nature, anti management of Chartered
Soliools in Ireland, and defended them against the charges con-
tained in the Report made by the Committee of Inquiry into the
state of Rhwation. He contended that that Report was hasty
and enotkous, awl that if it had been maturely considered it
would haVe ban very different.
