report narrates an instance of arbitration between two cap-
tains of the navy by a court of inquiry appointed by the
Admiralty. We ”..:ust refer our readers to the report itself
for the particulars, having room only to quote the conclu-
sion :—" The court required the production of the corre-
spondence, and examined into all the circumstances con-
nected with it, and then made an award, declaring the terms
in which each of the parties should apologise for the offence
they had severally given to the other. In obedience to that
award they each signed a paper, addressed to the President
—one admitting his regret that he should have originated any
statement calculated to give pain to a brother officer ; the
other avowing his regret that he should have allowed the
warmth of his feelings to lead him to the use of expres-
sions which, on more mature consideration, he perceived had
exceeded the amount of provocation. The court added an
assurance that the course it enjoined would leave the honour
of both parties unsullied and unaspersed." It is in the army
and navy that hitherto the false code of honour has found its
chief bulwark; and when that bulwark is lost, as there is
now every sign of its being lost, we may hope that the prac-
tice will die away speedily among all classes of society.

"We possess a power over the Government and the people
of Great Britain, which is a sort of bond and mortgage for
their good behaviour—we mean the cotton market—the
monopoly of the cotton market—which is now still more cer-
tain than ever by the possession and annexation of Texas."
Such is the boastful congratulation the New York Herald
addresses to its readers as the qualification which they may
safely apply to any apprehensions that might otherwise be
occasioned by the spirit of resistance and hostility which
would be excited throughout this country by the avowal of
President PoLx, at the ensuing meeting of Congress, that he
meant to enforce not only the pretensions of the United
States to the Oregon territory, but their determination to
extort the unqualified cession of that region from the
English people ! No nation has, of late years, so rapidly
effaced the memory of its stern and self-sacrificing
efforts to vindicate its early independence, by
subsequent boasting and extravagant bragging, as the
United States. Flushed with their incidental success in
their past naval war with Great Britain (in which, how•
ever, they were finally defeated, and but for the g..ievous
folly of our Cabinet might have been extinguished as an
independent power), they affect the assumption of an air
of arrogant superiority over us, as if the transient triumphs
which they achieved were not solely attributable to their
own vastly superior strength in all the engagements of that
war, wherein they were the victors, to their heavier metal,
and especially the careful Amin iulretiwi or.a «r..tpu,,,ut
their navy, so vastly superior to the disgraceful condition of
ours under the long incubasage of JOHN 'WILSON CRoaEis for a
Secretary, and of Lord LIVERPOOL and Lord CASTLEREAGH'S
Admralty lay Lords. The tone of insult and rhodomontade they
have ever since adopted towards England, and the disparaging
estimate they have affected to entertain of her power,
might well have involved, long since, a less thoughtful
or excitable race than ourselves in an indignant
declaration of hostilities against them. But they have so
much mistaken our strength in our forbearance, that they
have thrown off the mask of hollow alliance and avowed
themselves to be actuated by an incurable and malignant
animosity to our grandeur, our authority, our power, and
our position—the most commanding among the nations.
Looking, however, to their diminished navy, the dilapidated
'condition of their ports, the vulnerable exposure of all their
great harbours and commercial emporiums, the ridiculous
character and complement of their military force, we really
begin to think our coldly calculating brother of the West
insane in rushing on his fate, by so perpetually bearding our
dignity and honour. The notion here announced, that we
cannot resent their affronts, because they have the monopoly
of the market which supplies the raw material for our cotton
manufacture, goes near to solve this mystery. But JONA-
THAN is somewhat over-cunning here. He is wrong in the
fact, and he helps our Government to a lesson of political
wisdom which he never meant to do, and which they
were at all times determined not to learn, except
from an enemy, or under the humiliating conviction of
its compulsory adoption. Our own magnificent possessions
in India require nothing but adequate encouragement in the
markets of this country for their native staples to rise into the
rank of nations which are the most powerful and opulent as
well as the most populous of the globe. Let Britain exert
every energy to aid and extend the cultivation of cotton in
India, and she will not only consolidate and extend her per-
manent dominion in the East, over a contented, industrious,
and grateful people, her colonial subjects; but she will draw
from them the resources that will enable her at once, by
"repudiating" (after a more honest fashion than the bank-
rupt States of America) very pound of cotton grown in the
United States. She may import it more cheaply from India,
and thus render the popular notion of the United States of
their monopoly of its supply to us, and of the right which, with
their usual good taste they assume on that ground, of grossly
insulting us, almost as chimerical as their dreams of uni-
versal dominion over the whole northern half of the western
world. In the meanwhile, we are content to wait the issue of
events. It is clear that JoruernAlt is very ill-informed of the
care which has been taken to give effect to the resentment of
Britain, whenever she shall think fit to strike.

Accoants from Madrid of the 12th inst. confirm the re
port, which we published two days since, some insurrec-
tionary movements at Barcelona. Martial law had been
proclaimed; and it was believed by the authorities there
that General Pr m, now residing at Marseilles, had organised
a plot, and was preparing to invade either Catalonia or Valencia,
at the head of a body of emigrants. Two officers con-
nected with the War Department at Madrid had been dis-
patched to these quarters with instructions addressed t-
e-Ter-j- military ea-won against in-
t'T irpolri"p-rne'v"iiie7 negotiations with the
Court of Rome had been broken off, and that the Spanish
Minister was about to return to Madrid. The Funds on
the 12th remained nearly stationary. The Three per Cent F.
were offered at 36 7-16 %, and transactions took place a
36% 3/4 for time ; Five per Cents., 2414 1/2 ; Passives, 84
for cash.

According to accounts from Paris, the anxiety manifested
for some time respecting the state of the crops had greatly
subsided, and the Government had been actively engaged in

making inquiries in every province with a view to ascertain
what grounds there were for apprehension. The:Minister (f
Commerce and Agriculture, to whom reports of the quantity
of grain in the kingdom, its quality, the potato disease, &c.,

had been made on the 15th instant, issued a circular letter to
the Prefects of France, containing statistical details of much
interest, with instructions, at the same time, to tran-
quillise the apprehensions of the people respecting the
supply of corn, and to give every encouragement
to the free circulation of agricultural productions from one
department to another. The following is an abstract from
this document :—" The harvest of 1845 has been less favour-
able than the harvests of 1844 and 1843, but greatly superior
to that of 1839. In good years between 30 and 35 depart-
ments have a harvest exceeding their consumption, between
25 and 30 have an adequate harvest, and between 20 and 25
an insufficient one. This year 26 departments have an excess,
28 have a sufficiency, and 32 a deficiency; the latter are
principally the departments of the south, whose habitual
production is the feeblest; the produce, on the contrary, has
been abundant in the department of the north-east, north-
west, west, and basin of the Seine and centre, which, owing to
the usual richness of their crops, supply the country. Buck
wheat and maize, which figure for about a tenth in the ali-
mentary consumption, have yielded sufficient produce; and
saving in a few departments, such as the Upper and Lower
PyFennees, they present an excess as compared with the
ordinary wants. Chestnuts have failed in the two or three
departments where that resource is of some importance, As
for potatoes, the crops have sustained some damage In con-
sequence of the disease which has affected that tubercle ; in
thirty-six departments the supply .is inferior to that Of
ordinary years; in thirty-nine it is adequate, and in eleven
superior; but this damage has been greatly exaggerated;
and the reports that daily reach me notably diminish

the first reckonings ; moreover, it is remarkable that the
departments of the north and north-west, where pota-
toes have most suffered, are precisely those where the

produce of grain has been most abundant, whilst that
tubercle has been but slightly injured in the department
of the south and south-west, where the crops of grain
have been the feeblest. In short, if altogether the harvest
of 1845 has been inferior to that of an ordinary year, it is
undeniably adequate to all wants, and its results present
nothing that can alarm the people. Besides, at the moment
of the harvest of 1845, there remained from the preceding

year a considerable excess. In ordinary times we may
reckon at 100,000,000 hectolitres (hectolitre equal to 24
imperial bushels) the quantity of grain (wheat, and mixed
wheat and rye) necessary for the food of the inhabitants,

and at 20,000,000 the quantity employed as food for animals,
sowing, and the various industrial uses ; the harvest of 1843
had bequeathed to that of 1844 an' excess reckoned at.
5,000,000 hectolitres of the above three principal cereales ;
the year 1844, whose produce in wheat alone exceeded
82,000,000 hectolitres, has raised this excess to above
15,000,000, which represent nearly two months of
the country's consumption; the remainder in barley
maize, and buck wheat, did not fall short of
5,000,000 hectolitres." The report then proceeds to state
that the entrepSts for grain, especially on the Mediterranean,
are well stored, and that the present prices, either of wheat
or foreign grain, do not justify any fears. Advices from 'Hol-
land d Belgium were satisfactory as regards corn ; the
crops in Germany were deficient, but in Italy and Spain the
produce had been abundant. The amount of grain in the
entrepUts of the north, nearest to England, namely, Dantzic,
llamburgh, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam, contained, from the
18th of October to the 10th of November, 2,052,310 hecto.
litres. Of course the Government try to make the best of
their case, and some of their conclusions therefore ought to
be received with caution.

The Journal des Debuts has anothEr article on Lord ABER-
DEEN'S dispatch relative to the payment of the Greek debt,
and though on the whole complimentary to his Lordship, the
writer seems to entertain a suspicion that the foreign Minister
is actuated by a spirit of hostility to Corxrrt, because he is
supposed to be the opponent of British policy in Greece.
" The English Government," it is admitted, " has right on
its side, and there can be no doubt that the Government of
Greece will give way to the desire of the Earl of ABERDEEN,
and present, if necessary, a Bill for the application of the
excess of the revenue. It is to be desired, however, in the
interest even of the Powers who have guaranteed the loan,
that none of them should be too .-gid under existing circum-
stances. They should take cars not to realise tha fable.9l

the Goose with the Golden Eggs. Should the three Powers
claim every year from Greece the still feeble excess of her
revenue, they would only succeed in obtaining a small por-
tion of her annual debt ; they ,could rep-,,,ularly impoverish the
country, and render it more and more incapable of discharg-
ing its debts." In reference to this subject, a letter from
Athens of the 2d instant, in the Augsbutgh Gazette, says :

" In answer to the note from the English Cabinet, the Govern.
ment has declared it to be impossible this year to effect the pay-
ments demanded. The Coletti Ministry has met with two Parlia.
mentary checks. The First Chamber has rejected the Bill for.
bidding the carrying of arms, and the Second Chamber has an.
nulled the election of M. Calavrita, which was favourable to the
Ministry. The Opposition are already handing about lists of the
new Ministry."

The following are additional extracts from the papers:—
" It is reported that the Ministry has decided on convoking the
Chambers for the 27th of December.

" The marriage of the sister of the Duke de Bordeaux to the
hereditary Prince of Lucca was performed on the 10th at Frohs-
dorff, at eleven in the morning. At an early hour numerous
bodies of the people carrying banners filled the avenues of the
castle. At ten salvos of artillery and military bands announced
the arrival of the Duke of Lucca and the bridegroom. They
were immediately followed by the Empress and Empress-
Mother of Austria, avid all the Archdukes and Archduchesses
at Vienna, attended by their Court. Magnificent presents
were offered to the bride by the Duke and Duchess and
Prince of Lucca, the Duchesses d'Angouleme and de Berry, the
Duke de Bordeaux, and the Empress of Austria, who is the
aunt of the bridegroom, and much attached to him,
and who, on this occasion, represented the mother of
the bridegroom, who was unable to be present, on account of
indisposition. the Duke de Bordeaux led his sister to the altar.
The nuptial benediction was given by the Archbishop of Vienna,
who was surrounded by a numerous body of the clergy. Atter
the wedding feast, the newly.married couple, accompanied by the
Duke of Lucca, set off for the Castle of Urchensdorff, which is
about an hour-and-a-half 's drive from Frohsdorff.

" The King of Sardinia has just promoted to the rank of Colonel
the Infanta Don Juan, second son of Don Carlos."

THE Privy Couscm.—Sir Robert Peel, the Lord Pre-
sident, Sir James Graham, and most of the Cabinet Minis-
ters in town, left town this morning by the one o'clock train,
on the Great Western Railway, for ‘Vindsor Castle, to attend
the Privy Council, appointed to be held at half-past two
o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consi:leration the pro-
rogation of Parliament. It is expected that a proclamation
will be issued this evening, summoning Parliament to meet
for the dispatch of public business.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The accounts of his Lordship's
health received in town this morning, from Turville Park,
are favourable. His Lordship was stated, in answer to all
inquiries at his residence in George-street, to be improving.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.—The exportation ofcorn from Bava-
ria was prohibited on the 12th of this month.

MORTALITY IN THE MEmoroms.—The number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 15, was 941. There
is a considerable increase since the previous week under two
heads—diseases,of the lungs and other organs of respiration,
and endemic and contagious diseases. The deaths from
bronchitis were 45, average for live autums 19; pneumonia
113, average 110 ; and consumption 115, average 139.
Measles still continue very fatal, the deaths for the last week
amounting to 88, while the average is only 31. The deaths
from hooptng•cough are also considerably above the average.
Violent deaths 22, of which 10 were from fractures and con•
tusions, 4 from hanging and suffocation, 3 from barns and
scal&, and the rest from wounds and drowning. Of these
4 Iv, ra suicides, three of them women.

THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY JUNCTION COM-
l' AN Y. —We are rejoiced to find that at length the subject of
the embankment of the Thames is about to be taken up in
lion
fof which tntßm lrmx... 0n,.....1- .771:2.:43.. -..".....-Talllr...
~ v Fv0t.....1 I, C IDan k the north shore of the river on the plan
proposed by the Royal Commissioners, and to connect with
such an embankment an atmospheric railway viaduct, of
ornamental construction, which is to be continued eastward
of Blackfriars-bridge to the terminus of the Blackwall
Railway, Fenchurch-street ; and also across the river
by a railway-bridge, or by one of the existing
bridges, to join the Greenwich, Croydon, Dover and
Brighton Railways. Not only will this plan, if
carried into effect' conduce greatly to the adornment of the
metropolis, and the health and comfort of the community,
but in a commercial point of view it will confer an immense
benefit on every man who, residing west of Temple-bar, has
business to transact in the City. Who has not felt the an•
novance of being blocked up by the crowded state of the
1 thoroughfare in Fleet-street or Cheapside, at a time, per-
haps, when five minutes were of incalculable importance-
-1 when loss of time was, in the strictest meaning of
the word, loss of money? This is an evil which
has hitherto been patiently endured, because it was
believed to be irremediable, but by means of the pro-
posed railway a safe and easy communication will be opened
by which in five minutes any business part of the City may
be reached from the 'West-end, and by thus diverting a por-
tion of the passenger traffic from Fleet-street and Cheapside,
those thoroughfares will be left more free than heretofore, and
the annoying " blockings up" will be of less frequent occur-
rence. The Earl of Lincoln, who, as Chief of the Royal Com-
missioners, has been addressed on the subject, appears favour-
ably inclined to the project, and promises to obtain
a meeting of the Commissioners early in the
ensuing year, and - to make the construction of the
projected railway the first matter fur consideration.
His Lordship further assures the Company that, in his opinion,
the proceedings of the Commissioners will be closed in ample
time for any necessary proceedings in Parliament. The Com-
pany have also secured the co-operation and support of the
Central Terminus Company and of the Great Western and
Brentford Company. They have, therefore, determined to
apply to Parliament during the ensuing session, and with
every prospect of success, as it is underst od that no compet-
ing line will be presented to Parliament during the next
session.

THE DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL.—On the subscrip-
tions to the above closing the Central Committee tendered
the amount received to the Hon. Member for Finsbury,
which he declined, saying " that he would never receive
pecuniary remuneration for any services rendered by him in
the cause of civil and religious liberty and in favour of an
extension of the people's rights." Ile added that if presented
to him he would hand the sum over to two popular associa-
tions. The Central Committee, however, subsequently de-
termined upon appropriating the sum to the purchase of a
piece of plate value 1,0001., which will be presented to the
Hon. Gentleman in December next. Amongst the sub-
cribers' names stand those of two Conservatives, Mr.
D'lsraeli, M. P., and Mr, Ferrand, M.P.

The Rev. Frederick W. Faber, M.A. late Fellow
of University College, Oxford, and rector of Elton, near Stil-
ton, Hants, has resigned his preferment, and conformed to
the Roman Catholic Church.

The challenge of Edward Hawks, to row Noulton,
of Lambeth, has not been accepted, on the terms proposed by
the former; but Noulton states that he will either give or

itOLLS' COURT.-(TIIIS I)

~ •
Several unopposed petitions, praying that money in Court
to the credit of certain causes should be paid to the petitioners,
were heard.

FORDYCE V. SIR 11. BEYDGES,

Mr. KLXDERSLEY applied for an erder, to the effect that an
affidavit of a bill of service having been filed in the Court,
should be taken as an actual service. It appeared that the
matter had refarence to a Scotch entail, Lira there were no
less than 150 witnesses.

Leave was granted to mention the case on Tuesday next.

LANGLEY V. FISHER.

This was a cause in which the plaintiff sought to set aside
a fine, which he alleged had been unjustly imposed on pro-
perty to which he was entitled.
Mr. MALINS (in the absence 'of the senior counsel, Mr.
Finney) stated the case. It appeared that Mr. Benjamin
Langley, the plaintiff, claimed as heir-at-law, to certain
estates in Somersetshire, as heir-at. law to Susan Langley,
daughter of Robert Langley. On the marriage of Mr.
Robert Langley these estates were settled on the child or
children that might result from that marriage, and Susan
Langley, who was admitted to have been the only child,
died in 1788. By the law at the time, the father could not
be heir-at-law to his child, but his brother became the heir,
.when, at his decease, as in this case, the niece was at an age
that she could have no offspring. Mr. Benjamin Langley was
the uncle of the deceased infant, Susan Langlex, and died in
1815, leaving an only child, the present plaintiff. Mary
Langley, the plaintiff's mother, died in 1820, and the only
knowledge of his claims which plaintiff possessed was de-
rived from the information of his father, who frequently
told him that, at the death of his (plaintiff's) uncle, he (the
father) would become entitled to the property in question.
Plaintiff at that time was resident at the Cape of Good Hope,
and had been so for many years, but in September, 1821, he
returned to this country for the purpose of aserting his title
to the property. He had at that time a brother carrying on
business in England, to whom he committed the transaction
of his affairs, from a conviction that he was more conversant
with such matters; and that gentleman accordingly made
inquiries as to his right to this estate. It appears that the
uncle of the plaintiff had devised by will all his real pro-
perty to three trustees, of whom a Mr. Grenville Prideaux
was one, and to this gentleman Mr. Robert Langley, the
brother of the plaintiff, applied for the necessary information.
Mr. Prideaux was solicitor to defendant, and at that ti me Carried
on businesss at Bristol. in partnership with a Mr. Bush,
where Mr. Robert Langley had an interview with him, and
where he was assured by him that the plaintiff had no right
to the estate. Relying on this information the plaintiff did
not prosecute his claim. The statement made by Mr. Pri-
deaux was to the effect that by the deed of settlement of
1784 this property was so arranged as to give the wife of
plaintiff's uncle a testamentary power over it in the event of
there being no issue, and that she had devised the same to
George Dyke Fisher, who was one of the trustees
under the deed of settlement, and to whose eldest
daughter Mr. Prideaux was married. Now it was a fact
that this will had been made by Mrs. Langley; but
the planititx contends that under the deed in
question she had no such power, and that Mr. Fisher, who
was her brother, had no claim whatever to the estate, inas-
much as the property was vested in her child, who died. The
plaintiff at length employed two respectable solicitors, be-
tween whom and Mr. Prideaux a correspondence (which the
Learned Counsel here read) ensued, and which ending in
their being only able to get an imperfect abstract of the deed
of 1784. from which no information coact be ascertained. _ _

Mr. TINNEY here entered the Court and proceeded with
the case, recapitulating sew* of the facts already detailed.
It also appeared that a fine had been levied on the estate for
the purpose of preventing the plaintiff obtaining possession ;
under these circumstances he conceived that the Court would
have no hesitation in acceding to the application of his
client.
The case occupied the remainder of the. day.

VICE-CHANCERY•-(THIS DAY.
(Before the VICI, CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
wniTEHEAD V. BENNETT.

The arguments in this case, which came before the Court
the other day upon motion for a receiver of certain estates
in the neighbourhood of Manchester, were resumed and
concluded to-day.
His HONOUR, without calling upon Mr. James Parker to
reply, gave judgment, referring it to the Master in the terms
of the notice of motion to approve of a proper person to be
the receiver of the estates in question. In making this order,
his Honour wished it to be understood that he did not intend
to insinuate that the defendant Mr. Bennett had acted
wrong wilfully, but his Honour felt bound to state
that Mr. Bennett seemed to have greatly misunder-
stood the duties he was bound to perform in the
management of the estates. It had been said in his
behalf, that he had improved part of the property by turning
a farm into a race-course. His Honour was at a loss to con-
ceive of what benefit that could be, except to enable the de-
fendant, or any other person, to ruin them more easily.
The COURT then ordered it to be referred to the Master to
appoint a receiver.
His Honour then proceeded to hear motions.

(Before Vice-Chancellor KIiIGHT BRUCE.)
EXPARTE HUTCHINSON.

This case came on for further hearing and judgment. The
petitioner, William Hutchinson, brother and clerk to the
bankrupt, had had his claim for wages disallowed by Commis-
sioner Goulburn, and a further claim to prove on the bank-
rupt estate for a sum under 201. ; implying a belief on the
part of the assignees that there had been something ap-
proaching to fraud and collusion between the two brothers.
His Howoun, in giving judgment, said the case was not in
any substantial sense an appeal from the judgment of Ser-
geant Goulburn ; the case had been conducted in a mode,
mad on evidence, different from that before Mr. Goulburn, so
that his conclusion would, on the same materials, possibly
have been that of his Honour. Amidst much conflict one
thinewas clear, that during the year 1844, and up to the
early /rut of July, 1845, William acted for the
bankrupt, his brother Robert, as his assistant ; oc-
casionally as ilerk, occasionally as traveller. Obscure
doubt on the part of the assignees could not affect the
evidence which estaOshed this connexion of master and
servant between the brothers before the bankruptcy. The
point did not arise whether the Connexion existed at the
time of the bankruptcy. If such connexion existed before,
there is a prima facie title to three months' salary, not ex-
ceeding 301. His Honour did not think this claim to salary
had been displaced, and made order for payment of the same.
But the reasons which had prevailed with him to make
this order led him to disallow the other claim to prove on the
estate for 2001. His Honour would be understood as ex-
pressing no opinion on the character of the petititioner or
his brother; if he had, it would rather be in favour, for he
ate 41..4 ..60111111/ weal.
The petitioner's costs were allowed out of the bankrupt's
estate.
