LAW TERMS.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for leave
to bring in a Bill to regulate the moveable Terms,
which were productive in their present state of much
inconvenience. He proposed that the two Terms
which were now moveable should be fixed for the
days mentioned in the Bill. Those days were—
for Easter Term the 14th of April, and fur Trinity
Tern's the .sth of June; the latter to end on the 25th
of June. _

Leave was given, the Bill was brought in, read a
first time, and ordered to be read a second time on
Friday.
The Butter Trade (Ireland) CoMpensation Bill
went through a Committee, was reported, and the
reported ordered to be received to-morrow.
The Committee on the Anatomy Regulation Bill
was postponed to Friday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Half-past Six o'clock.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated May 12.)
PARIS, MAY 11.—A letter from Bucharest says
—" The last accounts inform us, that the grand
[lead-quarters of the Russian Army had been fixed
for some days at Gallaez. The head-quarters of
the corps which is to besiege Silistria are at Kal-
larasch. The want of forage as well as the bad
state of the roads, caused by the inundations of the
Danube, will not permit any operations before the
beg,iiming or middle of May. '
The Earl of Shrewsbury, one of the Catholic
Peers of England, set out from Rome on the 29th
April, to take his seat in the House of Lords.
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.—The blockade of
the Dardanelles has not hindered English speculators
from passing them to supply us with corn. A
merchantman from Alexandria has passed through
the midst of the blockading squadron, without re-
garding its fire, and has entered this port. The
Captain has „received the bounty which the Govern•
meat had promised to those which should taring corn.
It may be hoped that this example will find imitators.
The fears of a famine are dispelled, and the emigra-
tion of the Jews and Greeks has ceased. The Go-
vernment itself has regained its confidence, and no
longer apprehends internal commotions. The favour-
able accounts ficm Asia fill the Massulmen with en-
thusiasm, and inspire them with the most flattering
hopes for the commencement of th 2. campaign.
The negociations with the Envoy of the Nether-
lands still continue, and it is hoped that the differ-
ences with England and France will soon be ter-
minated. The Porte begin,: to chew a very concilia-
tory disposition with respect to th mediations, and
it seems that it has secretly consented to the eman-
cipation of the Norea and the Cyclades.
It is observed that the Official List (The Court
Almanack) of the Public Oftices makes no mention
of the authorities 6f those provinces.

TILE SPEECH OF M. MARTIGNAC, AND THE

EUHARRASSMENT OF THE 311NISfRY.

PARIS, Mny 11---Since the blow struck by the
Ministry at the independence of the Chamber of
Deputies, M. ►lartigu;;.e bad pot had the coarage to
resume speaking before that Chamber, except to
speak some insign►ficant words. The Ministry was?
therefore, left without a single man to support its

measures.
At length M. 1114rtignac resumed speaking ; and
notwithstanding his preparation, he had. better not
have spoken at all. The more the Ministry has
offended and injured the public, the more it requires
the public to rally round it; and in proportion to its
foibles ought to be our attachment towards it.
M. Martignac, by his honeyed explanations yes-
terday, concerning the withdrawal of the two Itzws,
has done more harm to the Ministry than he did by
a silence disrespectful to the Chamber, To say that

MADR A S.

On Saturday, Dec. 13, his Excellency the Go-
vernor of Bombay entered camp at Kalladghee, in
the progress through the territories recently ceded
to his jurisdiction from the Madras Presidency. Ru-
mours of his approach from Becjspoor had long pre-
ceded him; amid the picturesque ruins of which
place he held a durbar of the native Jagheerdars and
others of the neighbouring districts. The morning
of his arrival here was ushered in by a continual in-
flux of the multitudinous attendants on a great man
travelling in the East. The escort, consisting of a
squadron of the Madras 7th Cavalry, and a body of
Spiller's Horse, came in early. Elephants, camels,
and all the " minora sacra" of beasts of
burden, swarmed in every moment of the day,
" frighting" our heretofore peaceful station i` from
its propriety." The magnificent tents of the
Governor, and those of his su'te and retinue, formed
a very considerable encampment. Both European
and Native curiosity was on tiptoe, when, shortly
before six in the evening, Sir John Malcolm rode in,
surrounded by his suite. Our artillery peeled forth
the salute due to his high rank, and his Excellency
rode down the ranks of the Kalladghee Light Field
Brigade, which had been drawn up in line, in full
dress review order, to receive him, noticing in high
terms of approbation the general appearance of the
force—since his arrival in the country, the first he
bad seen of that army.
The following day, being Sunday, Divine Service
was performed in the Governor's tent, by his Ex-
cellency's Chaplain, and the beautiful Liturgy of
our Church was read in that remote spot of our
Indian Empire, I imagine, publicly, for the that
time—

For the sound of the church-going bell
These valleys and rocks never heard,
Never sigh'd at the sound of a knell,
Or smii'd when a Sabbath appear'd.
On Monday evening the Honourable the Gover-
nor honoured a dinner by his presence, to which he
had been invited in the name of Lieutenant-Colonel
Dickson, C. B. and all the officers of the Brigade.
His excellency departed very early the following
morning on route to Belgaum, via Gokauk.

We have been favoured with the perusal of a
private letter from Paris, from a source little likely to be
mistaken, and addressed to a quarter that gives it addi- '
tional weight, which states, in the most direct terms, that
the refusal of the Due de LAVAL to accept of the Portfolio
of Foreign Affairs is only conditional, and is not grounded
on any personal objection to the office, but to a delicate
consideration for the feelings of the Minister discharging
its functions ad interim. We learn from the same autho-
rity, that explanations of the most sitisfactoFy nature,
both from the French Cabinet and from the individual
more directly interested, have been forwarded to Vienna,
and sanguine hopes are entertained that the reluctance of
the Duc DE LAVAL will not prove insurmountable. The
permanency of the existing Administration (can this be
possible ?) is supposed to depend upon his determination.
—Morning Chronicle.

The Report so confidently circulated of an
intended promotion to the new Equity Bench has, we ap-
prehend, this much of foundation, and no more. A very
eminent Practitioner in the Court of Chancery has been
offered the situation, with an understanding- that, in the
event of his acceptance of it, he may look to further ad-
vancement, on the occurrence of certain contingencies,
which are considered as more than probable. The Learned
'King's Counsel has demanded time for deliberation, as he
is not very eager to exchange the most lucrative practice
possessed by any individual of the Chancery Bar for a mo-
derate salary and a subordinate rank, however tempting
the contingent expectancies. It will be obvious that the
above statement, which we believe to be substantially cor-
rect, sets at rest the pretensions of certain other candi-
dates for the contemplated appointment.—Morning Chrun.
The West of England Bank, Messrs. FLoUD
and Co. of this city (Exeter), was entered by some thieves
last night, and property to a considerable amount has been
stolen therefrom. The upper part of the banking-house
is occupied by Mesdames HEARN and BOAUND, nil'
liners, through whose apartment, it is reported, the plun-
derers effected au entrane!:. Mr. Fi,oun, who is one of
the Aldermen of this city, resides a few miles from town :
on the discovery of the robbery he was immediately sent
for, but had not arrived when we went to press. The
amount of property stolen dues not exceed 3,0001., an'l
from the information we hare been able to collect, we have
every reason to suppose no difficulty will exist in discharg-
ing in full every demand upon the hank, although they
e this dey, in consequence of the robbery, thought pro-
per to suspend their payment. As it is supposed this bank
was on the eve of winding up its conce•ns, the demands on
it can be but Western Luminary.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1829.

The East London Water-work Company are, it
seems, on the eve of obtaining a Bill from Parlia-
ment, to secure to themselves the right of taking
water from the river Lee, by which they will have
the undisputed privilege of supplying a long cata-
logue of places greatly important as regards amount
of population. This fact was stated at a respectable
meeting convened yesterday evening at the Mer-
maid Tavern, Hackney, by Mr. SCALES, the
Chairman, who further observed, " that the rates
at which the water was to be supplied, were
to be copied from the Pembroke Act, by which
scale a house of 10/. annual rent would be burdened
with 1/. per annum of water rates; and by a gradual
scale, the rate would be so increased, that when a
rental was 100/. per annum, the water rate would be
71.. and might, at the discretion of the Committee
of the Company, be increased to 101. per annum."
Such are the inevitable results of all monopolies.
They impoverish the many to enrich the few; render
public subservient to private interests; and keep
down, by their grinding despotism, every healthy
and independent principle of competition. Under
whatever disguise the monster may lurk, mono-
poly is still the same crafty, injurious, and op-
pressive spirit of evil ; and it will never be well for
the interests of the country, until the word is banished
from her commercial vocabulary, or is remembered
lonly to be despised.

Dutch Papers of the 13th May have been received
this afternoon. They contain, from the Courier of
Smyrna, some estimate of the Turkish forces, but
we know not what reliance can be placed on their
authenticity. The Prussian State Gazette, to the
9th May inclusive, has no farther news from the
theatre of war :--

AMSTERDAM, MAY 12.—The Courrier de Smyrue
contains at great length an estimate of the force of the
Turkish army, that is likely to be employed in the new
campaign. The regular cavalry consists of thirty-one
squadrons of one hundred men each, six of them are
in the camp at Ratni• Tchiflilc. The regular infantry,
of fifteen battalions of one thousand men each, in
the barracks at Constantinople, and 48 battalions with the
army. No change has been made in the artillery, but the
Topchis are very much devoted to the Sultan. It is impos-
sible to state the amount of the irregular force, even ap-
proximately for want of data. Last campaign 107,000
rations were daily distributed at Choumla, so that we may
reckon 100,000 fighting men. If we take the number of
troops in the fortresses in the Danube at 50,000 men, the
Turks had 150,000 men in the field last year. At the
approach of winter most of the irregulars as usual returned
home, but the time is now come fur them to appear at
their post again. For these three months troops have
been arriving at Constantinople, and the corps are
already on their march to Adrianople. Bssnia be-
sides has resolved to send its contingent, which it re-
fused to furnish last year, and there is every reason
to believe that the Sultan will be able this year to bring
into the field an army twice as numerous as in 1828.
The Courrier also says that the President of Greece
before he left Egina obtained from the Russian Govern-
ment a promise that Russia would guarantee the third
loan of 30 millions of francs, in the hope that France
would guarantee another third. It was not known whe-
ther England would do the same. The loans appears to
have been offered to some houses at Paris.
The same paper affirms the resignation of Prince
ypysilanti has been accepted.
The Roman Catholic clergy and part of the inhabitants
of the island of Syrai have addressed a memorial to the

(Pope, requesting that they reseain under the dominion of
the Turks, because if they-should-be-united_ with the free
state of Greece, they would hary:to'expect nothing but
misery and persecution, from the baited whick,the Greeks
have of them on account of the difference of their faith;
they therefore solicit the interference of the Pope.

By recent private accounts frow Glasgow, we
learn that trade in that city is slowly reviving, that
business of every sort is brisker than it has been for
some months, and that there is every prospect of its
still further continuing to improve. In the present
distressed state of the country—a distress, which

though undoubtedly in some places severe, has been,
ve have reason to believe, unduly exaggerated,—
such information cannot fail to be acceptable. Glas-
gow is the great emporium of the trade of the West
of Scotland ; its influence is unquestioned, its re-
sources immense; it is from that city that commerce
flows as from a reservoir in different channels
throughout the country, and it is to that city, as to
a vast engulphing ocean, that it returns. In fact,
Glasgow is to Scotland what the heart is to the human
body ; it is the very seat and origin of its commercial
existence. Whenever, therefore, it exhibits symp-
toms of amendment, we may take it for granted that
the country is equally improving, and that trade is
returning, after a temporary torpor, to its wonted
state of healthful and enterprising activity. From
Manchester we hear little, but that little is rather
favourable than otherwise. The disturbances hare
abated, the misguided operatives have seen the error
of their conduct, and are quietly returning to their
duty. By such conduct only can they hope to en-
sure the sympathy, and what will answer their pur-
pose much better, the assistance of a public already
sufficiently alive to their distresses, and inclined.
rather to forgive and forget than to remember and
stand aloof.

Letters from Lisbon, received at Havre, state that
Don MIGUEL had frequent interviews with his
mother, and that he had lately followed a religious
procession on foot.

It is said in the French Papers, received this
morning, that accounts have been received from
Greece, stating that the Turkish garrison in Misse-
longhi had offered to capitulate.

German and Brussels Papers have been received

this morning. It was stated at Odessa that the
Russian fleet had taken on board 6,000 troops at

Sebastopol, which axe to be landed at Bazardjik,

for the purpose of cutting off the communication
with the Turkish army in Asia. This movement

s expected to create a great sensation at Constunti.

BRUSSELS, MAY 9.—la the sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, the President announced that he had re-

ceived a Royal Message, with a project of law, relative to
the bakers. The Message says, that it has appeared from
legal proceedings that have lately taken place that some

bakers, induced I,y a love of gain, had used poisonous
substances in the bread, and it appearing that the existing
penal laws have no adequate provisions against this crime,

his Majesty has judged it advisable to lay before the States
General a project of law to remedy this defect.

This project of law is divided into seven articles,, of
which the following is the substance :
Those who shall mix with bread or other food blue

vitriol, white vitriol, or any other deleterious substances,

shall be punished by imprisonment from two to five years,
