WRESTLING.

On Friday last the annual competition for the priz,'s
given by the Cumberland and Westmoreland Society, took
!dace in the grounds attached to the Elre Tavern, St.,
John's Wood. Notwithstanding the unfavourable stay, of
the weather, upwards of 1,000 persons assembled on the
ground, the majority of whom were of very respectable
appearance ; for, as we had occasion before to observe,
wrestling is a sport in which all classes, from the highest
to the lowest in Westmoreland and Cumberlind, feel a
strong interest. The principal prize, a handsome silver
cup, worth about 20/., was won by Mr. Jos. Dohson, of
Cliburn. Dobson has long been known as a good wrest•.
ler, and would certainly have won the first prize last year
but for carelessness begotten by over-confidence. On tb4
present occasion he was backed at even against the field,
and the result proved that his friends had formed a correct
estimate of his powers. He won easily : in the words of
one of his native ballads—

" He Hang the►t east, he Hang them west,
" To him they were but call and atm."

The person in whose favour the sympathies of the spec-
tators were most strongly enlisted, and who they hoped,
would at least get the second prize, was W. Robinson a
private in the Oxford Blues. A more perfect specimen of
the human form is seldom seen than Robinson, added to
which, his countenance is one of classic beauty, Robin-
son was a competitor last year ; and from the skill which
he then displayed, it was expected that he would come In
second this year. He threw all he wrestled with very
cleverly, until he came to Joseph Wills, a privatf., in the
Life Guards. The circumstance of the two soldiers being
opposed to each other, as well as their being the represen-
tatives of the different counties, Robinson of Westmore-
land, and Wills of Cumberlaod, excited great interest in
the spectators, amongst whom were a considerable num-
ber of their eomradtm They advanced into the ring
amidst loud ciwering ; but the struggle was of short du-
ration. poor Robinson was thrown almost instantly, and
w'.lliout an effort, in consequence of slipping on the wet
ground. By this event Wills established hia right to the
third pi ize, and Robinson obtained the fourth. If Robin-
son learn to be a little more active with his. feet, he wilt
stand a very lair chance of obtaining the first prize next
year. The second prize was we by Mr. Joseph Stamper,
a Cumberland man. The first prize of the second class
was won by Timothy Dobson, of Appleby ; the second by
John Elwood, of Little Beck ; the third by Islin Slav
of Cumberland; the fourth by Thomas Fatvrett,
of
Westio,,reland; and the fifth by Miles Dodd, of West_
mordant!. At the conclusion of the Nvrestling, about
three hundred persons dined tot''..)aer, after which the
prizes were given to the succnsful candidates. The pro-
marked with the same propriety

We are very sorry to learn that serious mis-
chief is now prevailing among the dairy farms in this
county. Owing to the wet state of the land, the cows
and oxen have become subject to a disorder which has oc-
casioned the loss of a very considerable number, nure
especially in the moors and low lands. The disaster to she
dairymen will be seriously felt by them, but still more so
by the farmers, who, to the suffering so very generally ex,
perienced by them in the loss of their sheep, have now to
deplore this additional calamity. The continued rains
prt-,vent the lands attaining that sound and healthy state
which alone will arrest the still existing disease which car-
ried off, during the last autumn and winter, such count-
less numbers of sheep. In one small district, that of
Ashill Forest, on which from 1500 to 2000 sheep are
generally depasturel, not a head is now to be seen, nearly
the whole of them having perished from the couth !
With bright, warm days, however, better times to the
farmer will, it is'hoped, occur; when the necessary ad-
vance in the stock may possibly afford sonic slight com-
pensation for the evils now so ilistressngly appt:rtaliling to
agricultural life,— Taunton Courier

PARIS, APRIL 17.—When England, some eighteen
months since, effaced herself from the political scene of
Europe, the cause of this change was sought by every one,
and it was explained by every one to be " Ireland and the
-National Debt." Before she borrowed money to make
war against the Powers of Europe, it was necessary to be
certain there was no occasion for money to make war
against the Catholic Association. Before we expose our-
selves to the chances of a foreign war, it is well not to risk
those of a civil one.
This was repeated everywhere three months ago
without the thought that we were se near the moment,
when the causes ascribed to the inaction of England would
vanish before the firm and immoveable determination of a
man who was equal to the task he undertook. To give
complete satisfaction to Ireland without compromising the
success of the cause in England : to extend to all the
benefits of freedom without doubling the ranks of its adver-
saries, such is the great problem resolved by the Duke of
Wellington. A half concession, the effects of which
would have been futile, would have been leaving things
almost in the same state as when lie attained power, except
an increase of irritation in the oppressore, and sonic more
demands on the part of the oppressed.
The English Ministry has telt it, and that is what ren-
ders it worthy of the high mission it has just fulfilled. It
has gained its enemies by the greatness of the work which
it performed ; and there is no doubt that the people of
England have not yet recovered front the stupor into which
they have been thrown by the completion of an enterprise
which would not have been conceived possible two years
ago. The conquerors and the conquered look at each
other, astonished at finding the old Constitution, which
protects them all to-day as well as yesterday, still standing.

" General Bolivar, taking advantage of this favorable
moment, and desirous to divest himself of an authority
which he only assumed by the command of the nation for
its guidance to safety and protection from the devastating
violences of an assassin faction, has published the decree
enclosed, which convokes a constituent Congress in the
capital of the republic, on the 2d of January, 1830; and
which Congress, as you will see in the despatch of Es-
pinar, announcing the capture of Colonel Pareibo, Cap-
tain Villota, SOO men (their whole force), and all their
munitions of war, &c., will doubtless open, under the
auspices of that General, peace and unimpaired indepen-
deuce, which are necessary to fix on a stable basis the
form of government which may secure the happines of
Colombia.

" This is the noblest answer which could be given Ge-
neral Bolivar's calumniators, and which will be duly ap-
preciated by every reasonable man in Europe. Attend
also to all the decrees which you will see in the papers
herewith sent,—decrees no longer fallacious, but executed
to the letter,—and therein you will find sufficient proof of
the paternal care, liberality, wisdom, and diligence of the
Liberator. Colombia, I repeat, is saved, and her pros-
perity will redeem the new world from the perils which
the crimes 4n4 madness of faction were preparing for the
overthrow of its liberties. Santander, the accessory be-
fore the fact in the attempted murder of General Bolivar,
is now gravely implicated by the late insurrection of
Colonel Obando, and the intercepted communications of
General Lamar, whn, it appears, had been engaged to
support, anal bad promised support to the rebels. He is,
however, to be sent to Venezuela, his present place of con-
finement being considered fatal, and the Liberator being
too generous to destroy insiduously him whom he has
pardoned even too indulgently. If, however, there Le
legal proof of his having provoked the Peruvian invasion,
the tiherator must resign him to the laws."

KING'S COtitT OF JUDICATURE AT

BOMBAY.

The following letter, addressed to Sir Charles Chambers
and Mr. Justiee Grant, from the Governor and Members
of the Bombay Council, was publicly read in court, on
the 6th of October :
" To the Hon. Sir C. H. Chambers, Knight, Act-
log Chief Justice, and the Hon. Sir J. P. Grant,
Knight, puisne Justice of the Hon. the Supreme
Court of Judizattare.
" Honourable Sirs—We are quite aware that we trans-
gress upon ordinary form in addressing this letter to you,
but the circumstances under which we are placed will, we
trust, justify this departure from usage, and our know-
ledge of your private and public character leads us to hope
th it what we state will be received in that spirit in which
it is written, and that, notwithstanding your strict obliga-
tions to fulfil every part of your high and sacred duty as
British Judges, you will, on this extraordinary occasion,
deem yourselves at liberty to consider as much the object
as the rules of that court over which you preside; and,
viewing the intention of the Legislature in its institution,
as directed to the aid and support of the government en-
trusted with the administration of this Presidency, you
will, for a short period, be induced, by our representa-
tions, to ..betain from any acts (however legal you may
deem them) whieh, under the measures we have felt our-
selves compelled to take, And which we deem essential to
the interests committed to our mharge, must have the ef-
fect of producing open collision brtween our authority and
yours, wad, by doing so, not only diminish that respect in
the native population of this country which it is so re-
sential to both to maintein, but seriously to weaken, by a
supposed division in our internal rule, those impressions
on the minds of our n4ive bubjects, the egietence of which
is indispensable to the peace, prosperity, and perPnanence
of the Indian empire. This conclusion refers to a variety
of circumstaiaces which we are equally forbid from explain-
ing as you are final
.attending to such explanation ; but
we deem it necessary to atate our c.mviction of the truth
of what we have asserted, except that it may have some
cre.i.i.,ht with you, as connected with the preservation of
that atrek-gth in the Government which in all on;' territo.
ries, but pea ti4agsrly those we have so recently scquiced,
is the chief, if not t only, power we possess for main-
taining that general peace, pp the continuance of which
the means of good rule, and a .administering law under
any form, must always depend.
- 2. " In consequence of recent proceedings ',he Su-
preme Court, in the cases of Moro Ragonath and Bappao
Gunneas, we have felt compelled, for reasons which we
have fully stated to our superiors, to .direet that no fur-
ther legal proceedings be admitted in the casenfAloro Ra-
gonath, and that no returns be made to any wAita pf
hateas corpus of a similar nature to those recently issued,

the cases specified that you may deem it your duty to make,
as any other conduct must, for reasons already stated,
prove deeply injnrious to the public interests, and can, un-
der the resolution taken and avowed by government,
produce no result favourable either to the imfuediai:e or
future establishment of the extended jurisdiction you have
claimed.
4. " A very short period will elapse before an answer
is received to the full and urgent reference we have made
upon this subject; and we must again express our hope
that even the obl'gations under which we ere sensible you
act are not so imperative as to impel you to proceedings

After the foregoing letter had been read by the Clerk of
the Crown,
Sir C. CHAMBERS addressed the Court at considerable
length, remarking on the impropriety of the Government
in thus attempting to interfere with its jurisdiction ; and
was immediately followed by
Sir J. P. GRANT, who took the same view of the case
as his colleague.
As Mr. Justice Grant's remarks embody nearly the opi-
nions of both Judges, we give his entire.
Sir J. P. GRANT said —" I have heard this letter read
with equal attention, surprise, and regret. I would wil-
lingly abstain from making any remarks on it; and I will
abstain from making many which forcibly suggest them-
selves. Considering, however, who the persons are who
write it, who we are that are addressed, and what the
matter is which it concerns, I am not sure that I perform
my public duty by the abstinence I shall observe, and I
sin quite sure that I should not perform it if I were to per-
mit that letter to pass without comment.
" It is a document of a singular nature. It is a missive
letter, signed by the Governer and the Gentlemen who are
members of the Council. How we can receive a letter
missive I know not. But no communication made to us
relative to the discharge of our judicial duty can be consi-
dered by us as any other than a public communication.—
The gentlemen who sign that letter seem not to have a
very clear conception of the nature of the judicial office,
but it must be presumed that at least they know this.
" The style of:the letter is not very clear, and the
meaning is attempted, not very skilfully, to be wrapped
up—l suppose fur the purpose of softening it—in many
words. But, stripped of such of these as are immaterial,
the proposal made to us, the King's Judges in the first
part of the letter, is this, that, notwithstanding our strict
obligations to fulfil every part of our high and sacred duty
as British Judges, we will, on this extraordinary accasiou,
deem ourselves at liberty to abstain from any acts, how-
ever legal we may deem them, which, under the measures
the gentlemen who sign the letter have felt themselves com-
pelled to take, must have the effect of producing open col-
lision between their authority and ours—that is, that, not-
withstanding the obligation of our oaths, we will consent.
to refuse to administer justice according to what we deem
to be raw, under the threat that if we do not so consent
we must encounter a collision with their authority.
" What feelings of painful indignation the approaching
him with such a proposal must excite in the mind of
every honourable man I abstain from stating: But this it
is necessary that I should state, in order to preserve the
confidence in the King's Judges of those who have 'occa-
sion to resort to their tribunal, that the gentlemen who
sign this letter labour under a great mistake if they be-
lieve that there exists, with the exception of a very short,
calamitous, and disgraceful period of our history, that
there ever did exist a British Judge to whom such a pro-
posal would be addressed with the least chance of success.
" In another paragraph of the letter they even venture
to mention by name two cases, one still depending before
us, instituted on the part of individuals who thought
themselves aggrieved, for the purpose of obtaining a resti-
tution of their private rights—those rights being no other
than their personal liberty, of which it was stated they
were unlawfully deprived, and in one of which cases it ap-
peared to us, for any thing which was alleged by the de-
fendant who confined him, though ample time was given
him, by a large exercise of our discretion to correct what
seemed an ignorant return, that the person was unlawfully
confined, and he was accordingly set at liberty. And in
the other of which cases we have decided that no justifica-
tion of the confinement has been shown, though from the
course we have adopted an opportunity still exists of show-
hig it, if it can be done.
" In this last-mentioned case the writers of the letter
say that they have directed that no further legal proceed-
ings be admitted, though how they are to prevent private
persons from taking such legal proceedings as they
may be advised, or what power exists in any part of the
King's dominions to stop any legal proceedings which any
of his Majesty's subjects may choose to institute in any
Court of competent jurisdiction, or in any Court not of
competent jurisdiction, except by means of other legal pro-
ceedings in a Court which has jurisdiction to controul such
incompetent Court, they have not said nor do they seem
very well to have informed themselves.
" They say that they have also directed that no returns
be made to any writs of Habeas Corpus of a similar nature '
to those recently issued and directed to any Officers of the
provincial Courts, or to any of their native subjects 'not
residing on the island of Bombay.
" Now, they do not seem to know that a writ of
Habeas Corpus ad subjiciendum, that is, a writ contain-
ing the command of the King, in a matter containing his
prerogative royal for bringing a person said to be unlaw-
fully confined before the King's Judges, that they may
ascertain whether he be lawfully confined, and deal with
him accordingly, is not a matter of discretion in the
King's Judges to grant or refuse, but is a writ of right,
due to such as demand it, ex debito justitice, on sufficient
cause shown, and which the King's Judges are bound by
their allegiance and their oaths to issue without delay, and
to deliver to the applicant.
" Neither is the process that may follow on such writ,
in order to enforce obedience to it, a matter of discretion
in the Court to direct or refuse the issuing of it, if the
subject to obtain the issuing of such process, and to re-
fuse it is to refuse to administer justice, and is denegatio
justitia%
" And by what means they propose to prevent persons,
whom I take to be King's subjects, and not theirs, from the
returning writs of habeas corpus, if any shall be directed
to them, or to indemnify them if they do not, they have
likewise omitted to declare. Meanwhile it is the duty
of this Court to declare, that lawful power of this sort
they possess none.
" They talk in one part of their letter of protest and
appeals. Protests we have no means of making, nor any
reason to make them, nor any person to whom to make
them, but the Almighty Fountain of all Justice ; and fur
appeals, these are the rights of those suitors who think
themselves aggrieved by our decision.
" They say that they are sensible of the responsibility
they incur. This is for them to judge of, and not me.
But I may say, that I doubt exceedingly whether they are
sensible of the entire responsibility they may incur. And
this, at least, it is right for me to say, that, whatever re-
sponsibility they may choose to incur in their own persons,
they canrmnt shelter others whom they may employ or cou-
troul from the responsibility such persons shall incur if
they are concerned in any offer of resistance to the King's
writs issued by the orders of this Court—s-a responsibility
criminal as well as civil, and which, in case of any loss of
life occasioned by such resistance, will infer the guilt of
murder in all those who shall have been aiding and assist-
ing
in it, or who shall have directed, counselled, or
advised
The Clerk of the Cicwp tyas ordered by the Court to
write to the Chief Secretary of the Government, informing
h:rn that the letter had been received, and that the Judges
could take no notice thereof.

The Madrid Gazettes to the 7th inst., received
this morning, contain nothing of importance, except
the Decree of his MAJESTY to his Excellency the
Secretary of State for the Grace and Home De-
partment ; according to this the Earthquake has
made the most extensive and devastating havoc :

MADRID, APRIL 6.

His Majesty has been pleased to address to his Excellency
the Secretary of State for the Department of Grace and
Justice the following decree:—

" The dreadful earthquake which, on the night of 21st
March, was felt in various parts of the district of Orihnela,
and others in the kingdom of Murcia, has converted into a
desert those fertile plains, which just before tvere covered
with above 4,000 houses, 20 churches, and various manu-
factories, which made that district rich and prosperous,
burying under the ruins a considerable part of the in-
habitants, with their harvests, their flocks, and their
fortunes. The afflicting picture which is presented
by this calamity, which is unparalleled among us,
and the situation of so many useful labourers, arti-
sans, widows, and orphans, has filled my heart with
grief, and felt more on this occasion the loss of onr
former opulence, which does not allow me to alle-
viate the calamity in a manner conformable to my paternal
wishes. Persuaded, however, that all my beloved sub-
jects will see in the catastrophe which affects their brethren,
while they venerate the inscrutable designs of Divine Pro-
vidence, a new and powerful motive for the exercise of the
most eminent of all virtues, I have ordered the sum of
1,500 milrees to be immediately taken from my private
purse, and that of the Queen my consort, for the
relief of the necessitous, and desire that the public
bodies of the State, the Nobility, Prelates, all
rich princes, and in general all the inhabitants of my
dominions, be invited in my royal name to subscribe ac-
cording to their ability to this charitable walk. I have
also ordered 20,000 fanegas of wheat belonging to the
crown to be applied to the same purpose.—April 5, 1829."
The decree states other measures taken or recommended,
and orders a Junta, of which the Archbishop of Toledo is
president, to be formed, for the purpose of investigating
the cases of distress, and taking such tneasuies as they
may judge the most effectual.

The following are extracts from German Papers
received this morning:—

Demerara Papers of the 6th ult. were received this
morning, they contain nothing worth extracting; the
second January Mail had arrived out on this sth. The
Brokers and Jobbers have met on the Royal Exchange
(this day and tomorrow being holidays at the Stock
market) but there has not hitherto been a numerous at-
tendance, many of the most prominent having retired into
the country for a few days, in consequence of which few
private bargains were done, but the prices of Saturday
were fully sustained for a short period, and Consols were
done at tiSi, but are now 87i 88.
The Foreign Funds are without any novelty to recom-
mend them, and prices are nominally the same as at the
end of last week. The stone observation applies to
Shares.

The linen manufacturers in the mountains of Silesia
have been very busily employed this winter in executing
large orders for some houses in Stettin and Berlin. This
linen is said to be for the South American market.
