COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The Court heard a justification of bail in the early
part of the day, and then proceeded to sit in Banco,
but nothing of public interest transpired previous to
our going to press.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
The Court was occupied this morning in hearing
motions in equity. Mr. Wm. Brougham, Who has
succeeded Mr. Wray to what is generally desig-
nated the office of "Equity Devil," appeared for
the Crown in several of the motions.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF

THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.

A Meeting of the friends and supporters of this
Institution, was held at the Freemason's Tavern,
this day at one o'clock.
The Chair was taken by his Grace the Aacii-
BISHOP Of CANTERBURY.

The Report of the progress which the Society
had made, through the exertions of the Bishop% of
Quebec and Calcutta, was then read by the Secre-
tary. It contained an interesting account of the
proceedings of the Institution, since the last Annual
Meeting. It lamented, however, the great dispro-
portion of the religious teachers, to the increased and
daily increasing population of our North American
Colonies. It proposed, therefore, to increase the
number of the Missionaries and Schoolmasters.
At the conclusion of the Report, several excellent
speeches were made, to which we regret our limits
prevent us doing justice.

TUNBRIDGE WEL Ls.—A Royal Personage
intends honouring the Wells this season with his
presence, and we are happy to state that Mount
Pleasant House is taken for the occasion, and
undergoing the necessary alteration and improve-
ment.—Brighton Gazette.

At an Auction in this City on Friday, Wor-
cester and Birmingham Canal Shares sold at the
rate of from 481. to 511. each, including Auction
duty.— Worcester Journal.,
An ancient partisan named Borbon has made
his appearance in Old Castile at the head of a
band. It is said, that during the year 1826,
the Jesuits have increased their fortunes 25 mil-
lions of francs.

Mr. James Abercromby has been formally ap-
pointed Judge-Marshal and • Advocate-General,
an office of considerable importance in itself,
but which sinks to nothing in comparison with
the character of the individual who is now to
discharge its duties, and the circumstances under
which he has accepted it. We look upon this
as the best evidence yet afforded that the proba-
bilities are all in favour of the new Administra-
tion being secure, and of their being able to
realize some practical good. We do not found
this opinion on the well-known fact, that in ac
cepting this office, Mr. Abercromby sa-
crifices much in expectation, and not a little
even in present emolument. This, we believe,
he could have done for the chance of being
useful to his country ; but distinguished as he
is for soundness of judgment, circumspection,
and the value he sets on reputation, we are per-
suaded that he would not have taken the step he
has done, or sanctioned what others are yet to do,
without having something like moral certainty
that Mr. Canning would be able to hold power,
and willing to employ it for the national advan-
tage. We are convinced also—on the strength
of his general character—that Mr. Abercromby
has not lost sight of his native country, and that
he will never make part and parcel of an Ad-
ministration, which shall deliver over Scotland
as a patrimony to an individual, or any knot of
aristocratical families. Our country will now
form an integral part of the Empire, and reap
some of the benefits of enlightened Government.
