THE MARCH OF HUMANITY.—On Sun

day week, during . the yerformance of Divine Service at
the parish church of Lca, near Gainsborough, says the
Notangliam Mercury, a n:an with " solemn step and
slow," and "a countenance more in sorrow than in anger,"
was observed to enter and steal silently towards the servant
of Mr. the 'Squire of the village, and which
the man's earmstness of manner and mournful gravity of
face bcspoke to be a communication of painful interest.
Tice servant, in a hurried manner, immediately accompa-
nied the man out of church, amidst the wondering curiosity
of the whole congregation. After a short interval the
servant returned, and, with a countenance in which anxiety
was strongly depicted, hastily summoned his master, Mr.
5 himself, from his paw, and they both in a
moment hurried from the church. The excitement of
both Minister and congregation was now intense, and
p iinfuffy displayed itself in every face. The people turned
to each other with inquiring eyes: and every one appeared
to be lost in conjectures. " Some fearful domestic or
other affliction must have befallen Mr. S was
whispered front one to another, and every one was ready to
pour the healing balm of sympathy into the lacerated
bosom of the pow evidently heavily afflicted gentleman.
The service, it is tune, proceeded, but a very superficial
observer could not fail easily to perceive that, instead of
attending to the Clergyman, the mind of every one wan'
deeply and anxiously engaged in speculative deducetnents
from the hit.a eyil-forebeding occurrences. The congrega-
tion was not lea g, however, to be kept in suspense so
painful, for after a short interval Mr. S-- returned
to choral, when to such a pitch had the excitement
reached, th it even the Rev. Sir CHAS. ANDERON h:111Sell,
who was the officiating Ministcr (in other, no doubt, to
allay, if possible, the sympathetic emotions of his parish-
ioners, as well as his own feverish anxiety), could not
refrain from inquiring, from the pulpit of Mr. S.
what calamity had happened. Every one was on his legs
—the tear of pity glistened in each eye—every bosom felt
in a svmpathetic throb—every ear was open—the most
breathle-s and d •athlike silence prevailed—while mr.
5-- replied that " his dog had hurt one o itsfietr"

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1829.

The following ore extracts from Lisbon
Gazettes to the 31st October inclusive. The
Anniversary of Don MiGuEL's Birth. day has
afforded ample scope for the sycophants o
usurpation and hypocrisy :

LISBON, OCT. 26.

The sentiments of heroic Slelity and profound respect
which all loyal Portuguese feel for our august and legiti •
mate King, never manifested themselves with such splen-
dour as on this auspicious day, in which Divine Provi-
dence, shedding its blessings o❑ the Royal Throne, gives
the world to know that this throne is the object of its un-
•ernitting protection and support. Few kingdoms have
enjoyed the singular happiness of possessing a long series
of illustrious and virtuous Monarchs, constantly occupied
with the true prosperity of their loyal subjects ; but cer-
t tinly no kingdom has had the good fortune tobe governed
by a Sovereign. who by his exalted virtues possesses such
a firm and unshaken empire over his people as the great,
magnanimous, and legitimate King who happily governs
us, and the auspicious anniversary of whose birth is to-
day the subject of the lively rejoicing of the most faithful
Portuguese nation. Day of happiness and joy, when in
the midst of the festal pomp is heard the shout of national
' exultation, and all hearts faithful to our august and be-
loved King address pure wishes of submission and cordial
congratulation to the Throne, and fervent supplications
to the Omnipotent Preserver of the Kings of the earth,
' that he may deign to protract for a long series of happy
years the precious life of his Majesty Senhor Don Miguel 1.,
to whose existence the dearest interests of this Monarchy
are indissolubly attached.
Let us not doubt that God, who in the plains of Ou-
rique consolidated the foundations of this kingdom—who
at all times caused the Lusitanian arms to triumph in the
midst of hostile phalanxes—who, after so long an absence,
conducted amidst the fury of the elements our august and
beloved Sovereign to the salvation of the country, and into
the arms of the faithful defenders of Royalty, to assume,
according to the fundament d laws of Portugal, the sceptre
which of right belonged to him—will lend a propitious
ear to our ardent and loyal prayers, and will cause days of
prosperity and glory continually to illuminate the political
horizon of Portugal, under the happy reign of the best of
Sovereigns.
All the farts and the ships in the Tagus hoisted their
colours, and fired salutes at day-break, noon, and sun-set.
About eleven his Majesty, with a brilliant suite, pro-
ceeded to the Real Tapada de Alcantara, when be re-
viewed the hoops assembled there, who, as well as the
immense concourse of spectators, welcomed his Majesty
with the loudest acclamations.
His Majesty then went to the Palace of Ajuda,where there
was a brilliant assemblage of persons of distinction, and
having received on the Throne the compliments of the
Archbishop of Petra, the Pope's Nuncio, and of Don
J. d'Acosta Montalegre, Ambassador Extraordinary from
his Catholic Majesty, the King was pleased to give his
hand to kiss to the whole Court, and to the immense num-
ber of persons of distinction who had the honour to be
admitted to his presence, and whom his Majesty received
with the affability which so remarkably characterizes his
magnanimous heart..
In the evening there was a grand asembly at the Palace
of Queluz, where a great number of persons of rank went
to pay their respects to her Maksty the Empress Queen.
In the evening the city was brilliantly

By the arrival of the George and William
from the Cape of Good Hope, we have Papers
from the Colony to the 30th August, which are
of some interest. The following notice had been
issued from the Colonial Office on the 25th :

" Advices were received this morning from the frontiers,
by which it appears that a general apprehension existed of
approaching disturbances on the Citrre frontier, several of
the Chiefs having manifested hostile intentions towards the
Colony. Up to the date of the despatches no act of hos-
tility had t iken place, the troops were on the alert, and
the armed burghers hail received instructions to hold them-
selves in readiness to take the field in case of actual invasion
of the Colony."
_ _ _

From what we can glean from these accounts
it would appear that the location of the Hotten-
tots in the ceded territory had given offence to
the Caffres on the Eastern frontier, as it was
affirmed that unless by mutual consent this was
to be held sacred. The expulsion of MAcoioto
from the territory he held had also excited great
disgust among the tribes. Up to the 29th
August nothing decisive was known at the Cape.
The following notice had been issued from the
Colonial Office on tl►e 28th

" The advices received from the frontiers by the morn-
ing's post contain no ftn thcr intelligence regarding the ap-
prehended hostile movements among the Cafire tribes, nor
bad any part of the araud burgher force been called out.up
to the 21st inst."

It appears that the Governor, Sir LowitY
COLE, was about to leave town for the frontiers.
He proposed to be in Graham's-town on the
19th September. The post from Graham's-
town was anxiously looked for.

It appears further by these Journal,,, that since
the death of CHAKA, the Zoolah nation has

been divided under two Chief's, one of whom,
with his adherents, had been driven out of the
country. upon the Amapootas, under TAKoo,
ho, with the assistance of some of the Cafrre
tribes, repulsed them, and forced them to return
northward. The Chief, GIIIKA, is said to
have expressed his uneasiness at the hostile
demonstrations around him, and to be anxious to
conciliate the matter.

The agricultural reports from the interior re-
specting the crops were encouraging, and copious
and salutary rains had fallen.
_ _

The Bushmen bad been rather troublesome,
having carried away a large quantity of cattle.

Few more important questions have ever oc-
cupied the attention of Parliament than that, in
the anticipation of which the country has lately
roused itself in all quarters, and champions on
both sides, in numerous force, have shewn them-
selves in readiness to enter the lists when the
field shall be ready on which is to be determined
the future fate of our East Indian possessions.

It must at no distant date be settled, whether
from and after the year 1833 the happiness of a
hundred millions of his MAJESTY'S subjects,
and the interests of the manufacturing and com-
mercial branches of our population at home, are
to remain for another term under the controul
of a Company established under national circum-
stances wholly different from those now existing,
and which has risen, from being the owner of a
single factory, to become the sovereign of a ter-
ritory extending itself over 600,000 square miles
of the globe.
The importance of any question in itself, amidst
the large portion of knowledge and good sense
that is to be found both in and out of Parliament,
might be naturally supposed likely to secure it a
fair and impartial consideration, were it not for
the heavy weight of interested selfishness that
always lies in the scale of monopoly. The rami-
fications of the patronage of the East India
Company are almost innumerable, and it is well
known what slight arguments will induce men to
support the continuance of even a bad system,
when they think the interest of themselves and

their families is concerned. Nevertheless, the
truth makes its way by degrees, and the benefit
of a few is always destined to give way sooner or
later, when it interferes with that of the nation

at large.
We entirely agree in the remark made by Mr.
WYNN, the late President of the Board of Con_
troul, " That India must not be held solely for
the benefit of this country—solely as a means
" of wealth to England—for we have a higher
" duty to perform, in providing for the security
" and happiness of the inhabitants." But in
recognizing, in its full extent, the moral obliga-
tion we are under to study the welfare of the
native population, not only because the Govern-
ment of every Sovereign acting otherwise is a
tyranny, but inasmuch as we have to atone for a
heavy load of crime and cruelty,- perhaps inevit-
able, perpetrated for a series of years under the
British administration, we cannot for a moment
admit the implication that the interests of the
mother country, and of her eastern colonies, are
in any way opposite or divided, so as to render
a system of misgovernment beneficial to- Great
Britain. The intercourse "ith India is valuable

to us exactly in proportion as the condition
of her people is wealthy and prosperous ; and the
poorer and more ignorant the natives are, the less
profitable will be our communication with the
country.

For our own part, while we admit that all
reasonable compensation should be made to the
Company, and their interests liberally consulted,
we have little doubt that India would be infi-
nitely better taken care of by the KING'S Mini-

sters than the East India Directors ; but whether
the necessary arrangements can be made for that
purpose, at a period so early as the expiration
of the present Charter, is a point on which we
can hardly venture an opinion. There are two
alterations, however, so indispensable, that no
clamour of monopoly can prevent their taking
place very shortly, the general voice of the Eu-
ropean inhabitants of India, and of all our ma-
nufacturing and commercial towns, having impe-
ratively demanded their adoption.

The first of these is the free settlement of
Europeans in India, whereby they may purchase
lands, and introduce capital, industry, and the
useful arts. That so rich a field for British in-

dustry should exist, and that we should be de-
barred from availing ourselves of it by the re-
strictions of the Company, is an absurdity, for
the late modifications by Lord WILLIAM BEN..
TINCK are sufficient proof that changes are
deemed necessary by the Government. It is a.
gross delasion to suppose that it would be detri-
mental to the natives, which is much the same
thing as declaring civilization to be injurious in
itself; for what rude country has ever suffered
from the introduction into it of the arts of civi-
lized life ?

The second thing needful is the perfect free-
dom of trade, especially of that with China. It
is monstrous that the price of tea should be enor-
mously enhanced, to prevent our own ships from
being admitted into the very ports which are
filled with Americans and other foreigners.
Talk of the protection of trade indeed ! this
system is the prohibition of our trade, and of
the employment of our shipping. Since 1814
the commerce of the Company has been regu-
lady declining, while that of private merchants
has greatly increased ; a*.pretty strong proof that
it is not from Lcadenhall-street that we arc to
expect the means of invigorating British com-
merce. If the India trade in the hands of the
Company be incapable of extension, as they told
us in 1813, it is high time it should be thrown
open to the exertions of those who know how
to make it really valuable to themselves and the
country. In fact, we think that an honourable
principle of competition woula be beneficial to
the Company itself, by stimulating to greater
enterpl
We shall not let this subject sleep ; and in the
meantime we recommend to the Associations
that have l)een already formed in the commercial

disttictß, to persevere steadily in their ends to
obtain a redress of the grievances, from which it
is hard to say whether Great Britain or India at
present suffers the most.

LAW INTELLIGF.NCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
HENSON V. EADY.

Tile Loan CHANCELLOR. stated that he had read the
bill and answer upon which the Vice-Chancellor had
granted au injunction. The order directing the injunc
tion had been drawn up in a form different from the man-
ner in which the injunction had been granted. The order
was in terms that the Vice- Chancellor never could have
directed, and which the plaintiff, who was a solicitor,
ouclit to have known. Not only did his Honour not
make such an order, but no application was in Court on
which such an order could have been made. An applica-
tiod was subsequently preferred to the Court below for the
purpose of having the order set aside, which the Vice-
Chancellor complied with, making the pl iintiff pay the
costs. The present was an appeal from the last proceed-
ing, awl upon the whole of the documents on which the
Vice-Chancellor bad acted, his Lordship was of opinion
that he had proceeded with perfect accuracy. The peti.
tion further prayed that a new injunction :night be di-
rected, but the case appeared to be so suspicious, there
seemed so much appearance of fraud awl trickery through-
out, that the Court could not feel justified ininterfering in
the case at all at the instance of the plaintiff. Under these
circumstances the appeal was dismissed, the costs to be
costs in the cause.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
JUDGMENT.-ASTLEY V. DE CLIEVE.

The VICE-Cu NG ELLOR, this morning, gave judgment
in this case, which involved questions under the will of
Mr. Philip Attley, late proprietor of the Amphitheatre,
which still bears his name. The testator had given annui-
ties to his nieces of 321. a year each, and other legacies to
the De Clieves, under certain contingencies. The ques-
tions raised by the bill were—first, whether the annuitcs
to the nieces ceased upon the death of the sen of the tes-
tator without childr, n ; next, if they did not cease, whe-
ther they took for life only; and the last question was,
whether the gift over to the De Clieves was void. His
Honour, after going at some length into the will, stated
it as his opinion that the annuities given to the nieces did
not cease upon the event that had happened, that they took
only life interests, and that the gifts to the De Clieives wa
void. The testator, at the time of his death, was in pos-
session of certain leaseholds in Lambeth ; the interest in
which his Honour considered was taken by the persons who
took in sixteenths under the will. The Court considered
the next of kin, at the death of the testator, entitled to
the residue by whom also the costs must be paid.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
SWAM V. SIR W. INGLEBY.

Mr. GURNEY stated the case, which was an ac-
tion by an Indorsee of a Bill of Exchange to recover
142 L 135., the amount of the bill. The defendant, Sir
W. Inglehly, was one of the directors of the Potosi Mining
Association. The drawer of the bill was a m,ner named
Ward, who was sent out by the company with a party
of miners. It was accepted by an agent of the company
sent out to arrange their affairs in America. The action
was tried before Lord Tenterden, at Guildhall, ard a non-
suit was directed, as evidence of the presentation of the
bill at the office of the company could not Le procured.
Ilse Learned Counsel now stated, that he had procured the
notary who had presented the hill at the office of the com-
pany, which had been partly broken up. He had other
affidavits confirmatory of that fact. He hoped therefore,
as, from the broken state of the company when he before
brought his action he had great difficulty in getting the
requisite evidence, the Court would now grant a rule to
show cause upon payment of costs:—Rule granted.

SAINSBURY V. CRUMP AND ANOTHER.
Mr. DENMAN moved for a new trial in this case, which
was an action against the acceptors of a Bill of Exchange,
which had been drawn by Mr. Leigh Hunt, and discounted
by the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel moved, on an affi-
davit of Mr. L. Hunt and others, contradicting the evi-
dence of a person named Avon, who bad contradicted Mr.
Hunt on the former trial.
Loan TENTERDEN said it would be a dangerous prece-
dent to grant a rule where the only ground was the dis-
agreement of the evidence which had already been decided
by one Jury.—Rule refused.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
YONTIVEX V. DUNSTAN AND OTHERS.

This waft another of the numerous actions brought
against Shareholders in the late Imperial Distillery Com-
pany, for goods supplied by order of the Directors.
Mr. Setjeant TADDY obtained a rule to show cause,
why the verdict, which was in favour of the plaintiff,
should not be set aside, and a new trial granted.

MC COURT was afterwards occupied in hearing motions
for new trials, none of which posqessed any public interest.
A question Was raised in this Court last Term, whether
or not a person possessed of a leasehold estate could legally
justify bail ; and which question has been submitted for the
opinion of the twelve Judges.
The LoRDCHIEF_JusTicE this morning stated, that it
was the opinion of their Lordships that a leaseholder was
not qualified to justify, and in future none but house-
holders and persons possessed of freehold property would
be accepted.
