of a clearly defined law upon that important subject.
But although the legislature in their progress to eman-
cipate honest people from the horrors of sponging-
house extortioners, had fixed the lowest sum at which
a man could be arrested at fifteen pounds ; yet we per-
ceive, according to the following extract from Ilia book
of contradictory wundirs—the Statutes, that a person
may be arrested for, 101. !--..

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES'
Sir—ln answer to "A constant Reader," on the subject of
arrest, allow me to state, a person can be arrested for a debt of
101. whether upon a bill of exchange or not.
By the 12th Geo. I. c. 29, made perpetual by the ilst .Geo.
IL c. 3, no person was to be arrested for less than 10/. ; before
those statutes persons being
liable to arrest for any sum. The
51st Geo. 111. was then enacted, limiting liability of arrest to
151.: this act was continued by the 57th Geo. 111. till November
1823, and has been allowed to expire. The consequence is, that
the 12th Gee. I. is revived, and 10/. is again the limitation of
arrest. A LAWYER.
Here is a sample of the was in which our laws are
amended ! A man ignorant of the sunken rocks in the
bjack vocabulary of our crimes, but trusting that all
was fair as represented above board, might be put to
the expence of one hundred pounds in defending his
case, upon the illegality of the proceedings instituted
against him. And yet how sadly would he be convinced
to his cost ! Is it not melancholy that Senators
should be so anxious to increase the number of
our statutes, without adding to their efficacy, or
tcorrecting their absurdities ? but it appears that
they are only solicitous to encumber the laws with
heir help, and not to benefit the community.

By the Hylton Jolife steam packet, arrived this
afternoon, Hamburgh Papers to the 13th inst. have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house, by which it appears that the Russians
and Persians had a smart battle, in which the Per-
sians were defeated with the loss of 1000 men.

Accounts have been received from Batavia to the 15th June,
the war between the Dutch and the Natives still continued, and
was extremely disastrous to the former, whose force was reduced
in numbers so much, that unless they received speedy reinforce-
ments it was fully expected they would be obliged to evacuate the
Island altogether.

Since writing the above, we find that letters to the 24th June
have been received. 'Um° which date, the war with the natives
was going on with the greatest virulence. The Dutch force is
reported to be reduced to about 500 men, badly otficeCed and
appointed.

The Gibraltar' Chroxides to the 25th September, contain no-
thing interesting or worth mentioning. They relate the melan-
choly accounts from Spain, of which we have an long been aware.
The coasting trade on the coast of Spain, seems to be carried on
exclusively by foreigners.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF TuNcrs Gonna *Li, (Tuts Dir.)
pott.,.ifiAtit4wr du case. The vpiaTi:tAifsex:r:,wholemo,
dealers
in wine and spirits, residing in Water-lane; the defendant is a re-
taDer, living at Wolierhampton, and the action
was brought to
recover the value of a quantity of brandy ordered by the defendant,
and sent to him in' Pebruary hut, to he paid for in one month.
The defendant received the brandy, the port permit, the invoice
stating the charge, and the Tomtit'''. After the money became
due, and not till then, he refused to pay for it, except according
.tp Imperial Measure. The Learned Counsel eontended, that
from the correspondence between the parties, it was evident
they understood they were dealing for the old gallon ; and
Iw
would have to make out that the prat case was within the 1
exception of the new Act of Parlistnent. That Act provided,
that from and after the Ist of January, 1826, the gnemurni and

*
wt should be taiten atearAing o e promonantthat statute,
and called the " Imperial Weights and Measures," except there
should be a special agreement to the contrary. The correspon-
dence bet Ween the parties took place about' the beginning
of February, and the effect of it was, tbatAbe brandy was to
be sent, charged at the hunting page, which meant that the
plaintiffs were not to be answerable for the quantity, the plaintiffs'
paying the duty, and charging it at Vie. 9d. per gallon. The
statute was the sth Geo. IV., chap. 74, see. 6.
Mr. Scarmarr contra submitted that the whole question in the
case turned upon the correspondence, and was for the Court's
opinion.

The correspondence was now pat in and read. The amount of
the brandy, calculating it by the Imperial measure to 651., and
a fraction had been paid into Court, and the sum sought now to
he recovered was the difference between that and the old measure,
namely one-fifth.
The Court's opinion upon the correspondence was, that the
plaintiffs had agreed to sell, and the defendant to buy, the brandy,
according to the plaintiffs' first letter, which stated that the
would not be answerable for the proof, but nothing had been
about the measure; the consequence was, that there was no' qu '
tion to go to the Jury.—Plaintiffs nonsuited.

{HORNING HERALD.]

It ms rather singular that Mr. Tierney, in his
speech of Tuesday, night, should not have
glanced at the causes for the present distresse
among the mercantile and manufacturing classe
By the statements laid before Parliament,
would appear that last year there was a double
pewit), of Cotton, W.OOl, Silk, Hides, and other
Conunoditiel imported. Would not such an in-
creased importation bring down the price of those
ar.ticles ? Again, every onejtcquainted with the
silk and cotton districts knows that where, 30
years tiince. there was one piece of goods made,
theme acre now, by means of the power of steam,
ten, or perhaps one hundred pieces, made. And
manufacturers know, that if the whole of the
spinning., weaving, and other establisbrnetits of
Eogland, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, were
in full employ, those establishments could
produce as much yarn and goods in one
year, as would probably be sufficient for time home
and foreign trade of the country for five years,
Machinery is the principal cause for the kesent
distresqes. To talk of a want of medium is
folly—including gold, Batik notes, and bills of
excitange, we should think that there is now as
tritlCl( Medi-U(IIAR ever. We have before given it
tas our opinion,: that the Government ought
never, at any period, to have any thing to do
with lending the mercantile or any other inte-
rest Exchequer bills—and we are wore convinced
of the justness of our retriarks since reading the
very admit'able speech of Mr, Robinsou, in reply
to' Mr. Tierney Mr. Robinson said •tiat if the
Government had done what had 'been nsked for
at various recent periods, it would by this time
have lent .1,000,000/. on Exchequer Bills, which
latter would have pressed on the money market,

SLAVERY.

Earl GROSVENOR, in presenting a petition from the town
of Shaftesbury and the parish of Gillingham upon this subject,
observed, that their Lordships' attention had been hitherto oc-
cupied by other subjects of great importance. The state of the
currency, and the distresses of the country, had engaged that
House since the commencement of the Session, but he thought.
that the system of Slavery should be seriously considered. He
was of opinion that the Slave Trade could never be effectually
suppressed, until Slavery itself was abolished. He particularly
alluded to the domestic tyranny, which was the necessary con-
sequence of the system, and to the extraordinary arguments
used by persons in support of it. In particular, lie mentioned
the extraordinary report of man with u very
.extraordinary
name, a Mr. Fortunatus Wagstaff. His Lordship said, that be
• should soon present a petition from the city of Chester, in sup-
port of this principle.
He' then presented the petitions, which were laid on the
table.
The Duke of' DEVONSHIRE presented petitions to the
same effect, front the County of Derby, from the town of
Deby, and from the congregation of Protestant Dissenters
of the Independent persuasion of that town....,Laid on the
table.
The Earl of TA NKE RVILLE presented a petition from
Newton, in Bedfordshire, on the same subject.—Laid on the
table.
Earl SPENCER precented petitions to the same effect from
the town of Kettering, and the parishes of Rowell and Desbo-
rough, in the County of Northampton.
The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented petitions
from IllelcOmbe Regis, and some town in Devonshire, the name
of which we could not.catch.—Laid on the table.

in. Cornwall, against the present system of the Corn 'rrade.—

that it *•as a subject which ought to be seriously considered.—
Laid on the table.

Lord KING had several petitionito presett against the
" job of jobs," but as he perceived-that a Noble bord (Lau-
derdale) was absent, who took an interest in opposing discus-
sion on the subject he would not resent them. in the absence
of that Noble Lord and of the Ministers, he did not conceive it
p
would .be justice to present the petition of 40,000 manufac-
turers of Manchester, Qnd he would reserve it tbr a day when

they were present.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE pretiented a petition on a sub-
ject to which his Grace would wish to call the attention of the
Irish Government. It was from the bout owners and fishermen

tion of Bounties upon Iri4ll Fisheries.—The House then ad-

Mr. ALLEY
,and Mr. Bunn's• conducted the prosecution,
which was carried on at the expellee of the parish of St.
Matthew, Bedmal-Green—and Mr. CHARLES Pitur.ros de-
; tended the prisoners.
It appeared from the testimony of the little girl, as well as
from that of many other witnesses, that about 16 months ago
she was apprenticed to Burn and his wife, who are weavers
at Bethnal-Green, by the parish of St. Bartholomew the
Great (with a premium) for the term of seven years that whilst she was on trial, no persons could be-
have more kindly to her than the defendants; but no'
sooner were the indentures executed, and she entirely
under their controul, than they pursued a series of the
.most
shameful cruelty that has been for some time heard of towards
her. The chief diet they afforded the child, was ,dry bread
and water, potatoe 'peelings, and occasionally a little water
gruel, till at length she became so exhausted that she
was unable to work at her loom, which the defendant con..
sidered to be laziness, and, to punish her, they deprived
her of her food entirely, which she actually went without for
days together, in addition to which privations, the Mistress
would so unmercifully beat her over the head with a birch
broom till it was covered with wounds and contusions; and on
one occasion the mistress filled one of the wounds with salt,
Which of Course prodireed the most excruciating agonies. The
male defendant was continually beating the poor child with a
Mpe, and till her body was one complete mass of discoloura-
don, at length the parish heard of the affair, and had instituted
the present proceedings.
Mr. PUTtra Ps made a long address to the Court and Jury
for his clients, but confessed he could not call any witnesses to
contradict the witnesses for the prosecution. However, he
called three or four persons, who gave the prisoners an caw!_
lent character for humanity.
The Jury found both Gaily, and the Court sentenced the woman to six months, and the man to three months unprt-

enjoy if they were all separated from the Empire
te,morrow. It is pleasant to find the same peo-
ple (The Edinburgh Review) going a step farther
still, and assuring us, that, " however para-
doxical it may at first sight appear, it is never-
theless unquestionably true, that the navy of
Great Britain might be as formidable as it
now is, or, if that were desirable, infinitely more
so, though we had not a single merchant ship."—
Gentlemen who can gravely utter such things,
with the history of Tyre, Carthage, Athens,'
Venice, Genoa, Portugal, Spain, France, and
England, before their eyes, might proceed,
without astonishing us, to say, that there is
no use at all in the possession of any navy
of any kind. We trust there is no danger
of such absurdities being extensively received
among any class of the community; and are quite
sure they will always be treated with ineffable
contempt by such a Government as ours. It is
sufficient to bear in mind that there never has
been a great naval power in the world, which
was not also a great commercial and colonial
power; nay, one small fact might do of itself.--
The naval power of France declined visibly and
undeniably from-the hour when she lost Canada.

(monlrmo It} RA.LD.I

We are glad to sec, from our Guildhall report
diet some of the inhabitants of Cheapside have had
the courage and good sense to complain of the state
of paving and cleansing which exists in that and most
of the principal streets in the city ; and to resist the
payment of rates where the quid pro quo is so entire-
ly overlooked. This is another striking instance of
the blessed efrects of that system of local taxation
which prevails, with little exception, throughout the
whole of the metropolis. The Sitting Alderman re-
ferred the parties to the Deputy, the Deputy will send
them to the Ward-clerk, the Ward-clerk to somebody
else ; while the root of the evil is probably to be found
at the tavern,--at which place, unless we are great-
ly misinformed, no small part of the sewer-rate, I
the paving-rate, atul snout of the other local bur.
dens are expended. To judge of John Bull by his
City Representatives (we do not mean Representa-
tives io Parliament), one would think that he and
his whole family lived but to eat, drink, and sleep.—
But, to talk snore seriously of the matter, surely it
is a disgrace to the, Police of the City, and to the
Civic Authorities generally, that they should eat
so much, and, in other respects, do so little.—
With ample funds at their disposal, for proper pur-
poses, surely it is a crying shame, that so little that
is really useful should be done with them. The
taxes which are raised in the City might almost tempt
another Whittington to suppose that the streets are
rood with gold ; while those who are compelled to
traverse them, may reasonably doubt, whether, they are
paved at all. If those things are nut better attended
to by the Corporation, they run a risk of people in
time doubting whether the HA corporate body is ac-
tually of any use at all ; and what an awful event it
would be for Mr. Alderman Birch, and the other ven-
ders of turtle-soup, were the city-rate payers to dis-
cover that the streets could be better paved, cleansed,
and watched, 'without the aid of Aldermen, deputies,
and the whole tribe of beef-eaters. We really tremble
for the whole race of gormandizers, and fur the next
edition of Dr. Kiteltiner's book, were such a discovery
as this to be made ; and we therefore strongly recom-
mend them, as they love good eating and furred gowns,
to avert this ill-omened anticipation by condescend-
ing to apply some part, at least, of the wnrd-rates, to
the apparent purposes for which they are raised. Do
not, let them suppose that because their prototypes, the
Select Vestries at the West, can do these things with
impunity, that therefore the-system is established be-
yond the reach of subversion. On the contrary, the
Vestries and the Civic Body, by copying all that is
had from each other, are tending to their mutual over-
throve. The Public, in all parts of the town, are
equally sick both of the one and the other ; and there
is no way in which either stands any chance of re-
deeming their lost, credit, hut by a recurrence to some-
thing like common honesty and a recollection that
pohlic trusts are given for something else than private
purposes.

MPORTA NT IMPROVEMENT in PEN.
JL .10 usual manner of manufacturing Pen.
knife Blades has long been a subject of Complaint. The edge
'is made too steep and the angle too obtuse; the consequence is
that the Mgc.in cutting is sometimes unmanageable and driven
into the quill nearly across. This inconvenience almost every
person in the habit-bin:eking pens bits frequently experienced.
To Obviate this entirely, T. CIIA RE, of Exeter 'Change, has
introduced a Penknife Blade, manufactUred entirely on a new
principle ; the line of the. edge being parallel with the side of
the blittle forms a very acute angle: thelinstrumcnt, therefore,
even in inexperienced hinds, may be easily governed ; no cut-
ting but what in intended can take place, anti the Pen is formed
with the greatest nicety and the utmost facility. The. blade of
this Penknife is beautiful in workmanship,'and can be recom-
mended with confidence, as superior to any article previously
introduced into this branch of Cutlery. Also can be used with
the right or left hand.—The blades are made from relined silver
steel.
