DUTCH MAIL.

Mail arrived from Holland last night with
Papers to Saturday last. The following are Ex-

tracts :

" BATAVIA, AUG. 22.—8 y accounts from Sa-

marang, we learn that his Excellency the Gover-
nor-General and the_ Baroness Vander Capellan
arrived there on the 29th July, and set out on the
15th of this month on a journey to the Courts of
Sourakatta and Djocjocarla.
" The crops hitherto have been very produc-
tive, and the corn still in the field promises very
well. These favourable circumstances led the na-
tive population fully to appreci,,te the advantages
which the measures of the Government procure
them ; since the direct sale of most of the fruits
of their industry, and the circulation of money
thereby occasioned, afforded them indeed a de-
gree of prolierity which they probably never be-
tore enjoyed.
" Alter conferences held at •Samarang, with
Mr, Miltinghe, Commissioner for Paletnbang and
Banca, Major-General de Kock,, and Admiral
Wolterbeck, the measures have been arranged
which are to be employed against the Sultan of
Palembang, Machmmd Bedroedin. Admiral Wol-
terbeck has the command of the expedition des-
tined for that place.

" BRUSSELS, JAN. 16.—We learn from the
French frontiers, that much dissatisfaction is be-
ginning to be excited in the troops with the pre-
sent kVar Minister, by assuring them that he pro-
poses an entire re-organization, and to dismiss all
the officers, who possess in the highest degree the
confidence of the soldiers. It is, however, cer-
tain, that the Minister has hitherto dismissed no-
body from the army, but that be only has made a
difficulty of effecting some changes in the great
commands, which his predecessor intended.
" General de Beauregard, lately acquitted at
Ghent, has been conveyed over the frontiers of
the kingdom.

" AMSTERDAM, JAN. IB.—By an account from
the Cape, of the 28th October, the Netherlands
ship Prince William 1. which arrived on the 26th
of June at Simon's Bay from Batavia, in bad con-
dition, and after being repaired, sailed on the sth
October, put baCk on the 71 h so very leaky, that
it was necessary to run her aground; a great part
of the cargo was damaged and sold by auction."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CLIANCERY, JAN. 45.

BINGLEY FREE SCHOOL.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LIARTLEY.

The LORD CLUNCBLLOR delivered his judgment
this morning, in this importarit cause, respecting
the Bingley Free School. After going very mi-
nutely through the whole of the information, the
answer, and the depositions, biS Lordships was de-
cidedly of opinion, that no ground of complaint
was established against Dr. Hartley ; that the
situations of Vicar and Schoolmaster were not
inconsistent, and by the decree of the Commis-
sioners in 1623, and the original intention of the
Founders, as far as he could collect it, this was
to be a Grammar School (and not a school for
teaching A, B, C,) with power for the Master to
take boarders. His Lordship would deliver out
his minutes in two or three days, and the only
point on which he should direct any inquiry,
would be as to the person in whom the legal
estate of part of the charity estates is now vested,
in consequence of there not having been a feoff-
ment made of that part since the year 1650.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 25.
BLASPHEMY AND SEDITION.
THE KING V. v‘ILLIAM FRANCIS.
The defendant, who is a news-vender in the
Borough, was called, and as he had been fur-
nished previously with a copy of the information
filed against him, he was asked whether he wish-
ed the original record to be now read ?
The defendan, —Certainly.
Mr. DEALTRY now read the information. It
charged the defendant with publishing a certain
seditious and inflammatory libel, heine, in fact the
Letter of Carlile on his return from Manchester,
after the 16th of August last, to Lord Sidmouth.
The defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and receiv-
ed notice that !his trial would take place at the
next Assizes for, Surrey.

THE KING V. JAMES SAINSBURY.
This defendant and several others, who bad
been informed yesterday that their pleas would
be taken the first thing this morning, to informa-
tions filed against them for publishing other of
Carlile's works, were now called. Some of them
appeared, but as others did not, though called on
their recognizances,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE ordered those who
were present to remain until three. (o'clock, to
give an opportunity for the absentees then to at-
tend, to avoid the estreating of their recogni-
zances.---Ordered accordingly.

THOMPSON V. GORDON.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL obtained a Rule to
show cause why the verdict in this case should
not be set aside. The cause was tried a few days
ago at Guildhall, and the plaintiff recovered 10001.
for agency in procuring a customer for a Royal Spa-
nish license to trade to Vera Cruz under peculiar
advantages. The objection urged both now and at
the time of trial was, that the plaintiff had done
nothing to entitle him to so large a remuneration,
having only conducted Mr. Moravia, the pur-
chaser, from his (the plaintiff's) counting-house
down to that of the defendant.
The CHIRP JUSTICE had conceived, and still
was of the same opinion, that the promise of
10001. which had been made to the plaintiff im-
plied a consideration for trouble which he was ex-
pected to take in completing the bargain, where-
as he had done nothing after the first interview
with the purchaser. His Lordship therefore
thought him entitled to no more than quantum
meruit, and readily granted the rule.
THE KING V. GOWER.
Mr. SCARLRTT- moved the judgment of the
Court to Francis Gower, late Lieutenant-Go-
vernor of Upper Canada, for publishing a libel
against Doctor Robert Thorp, Chief Justice of
the same province, impeaching the character and
judicial conduct of the plaintiff.
The CHIEF JUSTICE was proceeding to read the
indictment, when—
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL informed the Court,
that be and Mr. SCARLETT had agreed not to
trouble them with reading any more. His client,
the defendant, had not in fact published the libel,
but had only shown it to Mr. Firth, the Solicitor-
General of the same province. Neither was the
libel written,by the defendant, but by an officer
of great merit in Canada, who had died subse-
quently._ The Counsel had agreed to refer the
obnoxious pamphlet to the Master, who should be
instructed to settle the damages.
Mr. SCARLETT said, that if his Learned Friend
meant his observations as a declaration on behalf
of his Client disowning the libel and every one of
its charges, and as proof that he (lid not wish for
its circulation, he would withdraw his motion, and
recommend the plaintiff to settle the business in
a more lenient manner.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL assented to Mr. Scar-
lett's proposal, and the motion was for the pre-
sent withdrawn.
