GENRVA, NOV. 8.

Sir Frederick Adam, Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands, who passed three days here before he pro-
ceeded to Milan, declared that the number of Greek women
and children who seek refuge in the lonian Islands, is so
great that it becomes impossible to provide for their urgent
wants, unless the English Parliament votes a subsidy for
the purpose.

FRANKFORT, NOV. 16.

His Eminence Cardinal Benretti, Governor of Rome,
Ambassador 'Extraordinary from .the. ,Holy ,See to the
Court of 'Russia arrived here yesterday. •

The Senate of this City, on the application of the
children and heirs of the late Frederick Schiller, consider-

ing the eminent service rendered by the deceased to the
poetry and literature of Germany, has presented to them
their heirs and successors, a privilege for 25 years, with
exemption from duties, for a new complete collection of his
works. It is consequently forbidden on pain of confisca-
tion, and of a fine proportioned to the circumstances, as well
as of damages, to pirate in Frankfort and its territory this
new edition of Sehiller's works, or to sell the whole
or any part of a pirated edition printed elsewhere.

COLOGNE, NOV. 16.

In the night of the 13th wo had a violent storm from
the south-east, which continued till seven o'clock in the
morning. The vessels which are rarely exposed to hurri-
canes from that quarter were in very great danger, and no-
thing less than the extraordinary efforts that were made
could have prevented very considerable damage.
More than twelve large Dutch vessels, most of them
laden, broke loose from their moorings, and several of
them were more or less damaged. Some vessels, laden
with wheat, were stranded, and some others with char-
coal were said to be sunk.

The Rhine, the waters of which have been very low for
hese three months, begin to rise again.

So much has been said on the Corn Laws that the
wonder is, how people fancy they can say any thing
more which the public have not already heard rever-
berated from one end of the Kingdom to the other, and
yet scarcely a day passes without some new lights
breaking forth on this important subject, all pretending,
in different directions, to shew the public mind the

other hand, say, that if the price of corn is kept up at
the discretion of the landlords the poorer sort of
the manufacturing classes must perish, not altogether
from want of work, but front their inability to buy
bread with the scanty sum they earn. But the agri-
culturists answer, with a sagacity as profound as
the depth of their conscience---" You should abolish
' the use of machinery, and the
people would then have
plenty of work to support thorn." Might not the

Lordship attributes the present distress to
the iniquitous plans of the political economists, whose
science he denominates " a curse," to be dreaded
like the plagues of Egypt, It is really a pity that his

Lordship did not set up a chair of moral philosophy,
for the benefit of his dear friends the agriculturists,
and he would, no doubt, as his doctrines deserve, have
a monopoly of all the agricultural spendthrifts in the
country for his audience, all eagerly listening how
they might repair their fortunes at the expellee
of the other classes of the community. To be
serious, we cannot really sea how men, professing
common honesty, can hold up their heads and ask tir
legislative enactments, to enable them to roll in their
carriages, while others are doomed to starve at their
wheels by the very operation of these enactments.
Yet such is the unblushing prayer of the peti-
tion of the landholders at this moment of dis-
tress—distress, too, occasioned by the very privi-
leges enjoyed by the agriculturists, who now seek
to perpetuate the national misery, by a continuance
of their vexatious and oppressive monopoly.
What right has one portion of the community to ask
for especial favour at the expense of the rest ? But
the Landholders say, " We heve bad the Corn Laws
for years, and it is injustice now to deprive us of the
benefit." So might a man argue who had been
allowed to take shelter in a house from the inclemency
of the storm—" I have been here so long that It .
would be cruel to turn me out now with the pro-
spect of another storm in the distance." Possession
we well know is nine points of the law, but possession
should not be advocated as a cloak for fraud, nor held
out as a plea for injustice. Parliament, like a provi-
people, and though some branches may
dent mother, is bound to do justice to all classes of the
more kindness, yet the others should not be deprive
of their portions, in order that one may.luxurate bele-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.7-(Tsis DIY.)
WHITE V. VITTY.

His LORDSHIP on coming into Court this morning, said, that
he was afraid in consequence of the accident which Lord Chief
Justice Abbott had met with, he should not he able to make the
observations in this case, which he intended to do. His Lord-
ship had not hid an opportunity of asking him a question which
his lordship did not recollect the Judges had given their opinion
Ulm. The Learned Judges had given their opinion that the
trust of the will expressly declared the trust of the copyhold.—
Premisea could not be considered as trusts of the freehold premi-
"ei. It had been stated by counsel at the bar, his Lordship believ-
ed by Mr. Knight, that the copyhold premises in the four pa-
rishes mentioned, would not be sufficient to pay the legacies;
that being so, and the judges being of opinion that these legacies
were not charged upon any other fund than the copyhold, one
question, which had not been enough considered, was, that if that
part of the will was considered to relate to the copyhold estates,
Whether that part of it was to be considered as necessarily to con-
nect the copyhold estates in the four parishes, because there was
nothing in the trust to that effect.
Mr. SUGDEN said it was expressly stated to be so.
His Lonossite considered that he could not have an accurate
copy of the Will.

Mr. SUODEX considered it to be expressly so stated.
llis LORD3HIP would look to the copy of the Will he had,
!gain, for he certainly had not seen any thing with respect to it
in the copy he heal. It was certainly very material that the deci-
sion should embrace all the points in the case ; because if it %vent
elsewhere, it would be extremely material that it should not be
sent hack on account of any thing that was left undone. His
Lordship would feel much obliged to the gentlemen respectively,
if they would look into the appeal, and the other points which
had been brought under consideration ; and if anything occurs
that may he material to state to the Court; it would be desirable
to do so, that the Court might be enabled if it could, to render any
port that was imperfect, perfect. If any thing was found neces-
sary to state to the Court, the Court would gladly hear it on the
first day after the first Seal.

IRWELL AND MERSEY NAVIGATION.
Mr. krromtt-GENERAL stated, that he had to make a motion
tilitio Lordship in this case ex-parte, for an injunction to restrain
the Proprietors of the Mersey Navigation from proceeding to cut
away a rock, situate at a place called West Bank on the Cheshire
side of the River Mersey, which, if cut away, would materially
injure the navigation of the River.
• hfr. HART objected to the motion being made, on the ground
that there was another motion pending, which had in reality the
purpose.
His LORDSHIP thought, if that was the fact, it had better be
brought on.
Mr. }lowa, who was with the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, opened
the other motion which was to restrain the same defendants from
taking a jetty or wall running into the river several feet, which
Iroold materially injure the navigation on the Lancashire aide.
His Lounsum thought the better way would be to grant the
iojanction to restrain the cutting of the rock, and to allow the
Parties to make their motion with respect to the jetty, to-morrow.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT..--(T1118 DAT.)
ALLYN V. STEWART, BAXTER, •Nr) OTHERS.

This was a bill filed by Allen, as well for himself as the other
creditors of a person named Cook, who, previous to his death,
kept an hotel in Albemarle-street. Cook died intestate in March
lass and letters of administration were granted Baxter, who was
a °owl creditor of the deceased. Baxter appointed Stewart his
agent, Who entered into possession of the hotel, and proceeded to
?""Y on the business. A Meeting of the intestate's creditors was
':1(1 on the 16th of May, at the hotel, and after a statement of his
Litut irs had been laid before them, it was determined to be for the
oeneht of all parties that the business at the hotel should be con-
tinued under its then management, until the end of the
/*"°,l- It was also arranged that if, upon the winding
up of the intestate's affairs, there should appear any balance avail-
able for the simple contract creditors, it should be divided equally,
and without preference amongst them. To this arrangement,
Stewart, Homel and Naughton, simple contract creditors, were
assenting parties. Notwithstanding this adjustment, these de-
fendants brought actions against Baxter, the administrator, for
toe recovery of their respective debts ; Baxter confeese4 judgment,
stud executions were now about to issue against the effects of the
intestate. The bill charged, that Baxter was acquainted with
that took place at the meeting of the creditors, and that, there-
fore, he gave a fraudulent preference to his co-defendants. It
also stated, that the plaintiff was prevented from proceeding for
teovery of his debt by the representations of Stewart, Homel, and
"aatighton. For these reasons the plaintiff prayed that the Court would
11.t".° ttx unction to restrain Stewart, Hornet, and Knighton from
"Ying the amount of their executions on the effects of the de-
ce'weal, and also to restrain Baxter from paying them any money
" account of their claims. It also prayed that a receiver may
be appointed to manage the business of the hotel for the benefit of
s creditors.
41r. GULDLESTON, junior, opposed the appointment of the re-
ecteer. The profits of an hotel consisted in the receipt of such
Irtutn "ma as to render it impossible to have the business conduc-
tod under a receiver. The Learned Gentleman, however, had
to objection that the injunction should issue.
The VICZ.CIIANCELLOR said he had no security that, Baxter
would
not again give a fraudulent preference to other creditors;
us lutist, therefore, grant the injunction, and also direct that a
tscealeer and manager be appointed. His Honour, with the con-
elt of Mr. Barber, who appeared for the plaintiff, said, the
order of the Court might be so shaped as to give Baxter penis-
t'uto propose himself as such manager.

I.laeondition to appear in Court to-day; but we are happy to
444, that he is as well as under all the circumstances might be

Mr' Scm CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
•lrer moved for a rule to spew cause why criminal
%formation should not be filed against the Reverend Charles Lacy,
(4 Magistrate for the County of Hertford), for corrupt con-
rpirehet in refusing a license to a public-howie in the parish of Tring.
ur.,t' Proof of this charge depended on circumstantial evidence,
"4'll he (Mr. Scarlett), deemed it necessary to detail.
.11-7 proeeentor, Mr. Kay, had purchased a considerable property,
41iag nearly the whole parish of Tring. The town of Tring
'is.,-4„talned 3,00 inhabitants, in which there were pO-4". The estate which he purchased included the most ancient
41die-house in the town, known by the appellation of the Green
~,,el4l he expended a considerable sum in repairing and orna-
ts:lttitig this house last year, and during the execution of the
se, i!lie Magistrate complained of expressed himself highly frequently
the improvements that were snaking, and had frequently
s;vad that it would be an ornament to the town ; he had also
.-,,Pteseed his approbation of Mr. Tomlins, who was to become
!ltenant of the house ; but when the licensing day came on, to
ie great surprise of the prosecutor the licence was refused to the
kiuse, tkironfli the corrupt intervention of Mr. Lacy, who not
only voted himself against it
Ilsgistrates to do the sun, but had canvassed one or two other

of
which
the
prosecutor
at-
r.Aiir. Lacy entertained for the following reason :—M towards him

the the Ecclesiastical Court,
result of which was, that a bill I

the amount of
su the parish, but was strenuously oppmed
by a/liEu.rtito impose
he lied made several attempts to bring over to his side' whom
Wait the CAW* of his resentment. Corruption could not be di-
ectly brought home to him ; but one of the Alagietrates, the Rev,
tle, Bingham, who voted against the license, moved for a recon-
sideration of the case, at an adjourned sittings, and said that lie
butbeen imposed upon in giving his vote on the former occasion ;
u,ot Mr. Lacy said, that as it had been decided before a Bench of
'"altices, it could not be reconsidered. And some time after,
While Conversing with, some other person on that subject, he said,
It is better fur Tomlins that he has not got the license; it
44 do him no good ; and it will let Kay see that every thing
cannot be got for money."
to The,* were the facts of the case on which the application was
%tied, they were certainly no more than circumstantial, but
%11:7 sufficiently warranted the conclusion, that Mr. Lacy had
Leto Influenced by corrupt motives.
Mr, Justice BAILICY said, that there did not appear sufficient
;Lute to call on the Court to suspend the function of a Grand
'lent there was prima facie evidence of corruption ; indepen-
sr:l.V of eircumstancss, this Court was not in the habit of inter-
*64.l4 ; if scut to a Grand Jury, they would have the benefit of
Th I"tilliony of the Magistrates who assisted on the occasion.
NO there were strong grounds for suspicion, yet part arose
11'4% circumstances which could not be admitted in evidence.
eaxic WAS altogether so complicated, that it would be more
.p,4140 to lay it before a Grand Jury.—Rule refused.
1V It SoLterroa-GENERAL moved for a rule to whew cause why
r't of Mandamus should not him directed to the Justices of
heldni to compel them to renew a licence. The applicant had
th, t 6 Lima in question wince 1519 ; he had no other sign than
2.„(vwing over his door..—"Liceneed to sell excisable liquors
"14'0 In fact, though it wait a publiclutat of comidtably

standing, it never had any other sign ; but, on asking this year for
a renewal of his licence, a Magistrate asked him what was the
sign of the house, he replied, I have no sign, but the old one, re-
peating it as above; whereupon, the Magistrate said that will not
avail, you cannot have a licence. He (the Solicitor-General)
submitted that there was no law to compel publicans to have a
sign over their door, and that the Magistrates were not warranted
in refusing on such grounds. All the applicant wanted was to
have his case re-conigdered.--.Rule granted.
Cornelius Callanar, who was brought up yesterday for judg-
ment, on a conviction of perjury, but remanded until this day,
being brought forward addressed the Court, hoping to be permitted
to make a few observations in justification of his conduct
before judgment was passed ; he was proceeding to say that
he had been twenty months in prison on account of this charge,
when he was interrupted by Mr. Scarlett, whe deemed it
necessary, in exculpation of himself and Mr. Gurney, who
hail been Counsel for the prisoner, to state that the prisoner
had handed to them some,affidavits which were blended with irre-
levant matter, and consequently they did not deem it adviseable to
have them put in until corrected ; this the prisoner neglected to
do ; he hoped the Court would not render the ignorance of his
client a cause of aggravation of punishment.
Mr. Justice BAILEY—Let him be remanded until Monday, and
in the mean time consider what he ought to do.
