CORN EXCHANGE.—Julia 10.
The supplies of Corn this week are tolerably fair, and
there is a considerable quantity of Flour chiefly from
America. The Wheat trade continues very dull, but the
factors are unwilling to take less prices than on Monday.
Barley, Beans, and Pease, are also very slack in disposal
at no alteration in value. The best parcels of Oats main-
tain Monday's prices, but other sorts being more plentiful
are very difficult to quit at last quotations. The Flour
trade this week is heavy.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The House sat in a Committee of Privileges today.
DUKE OF CUMBERLAND'S CLAIM TO VOTE AT THE
ELECTION OF THE REPRESENTATIVE PEERS OF
IRELAND AS EARL OF ARMAGH.
The Committee resolved that his Royal Highness
had made out his claim to vote at the election of
Representative Peers of Ireland.,
LORD SANDFORD'S CLAIM.
The Committee also resolved that Lord Sandford
had made out his claim to vote at the election of
Representative Peers of Ireland.
Sir W. Betham, Herald-at-Arms, produced a copy
of his Lordship's patent from the Herald's-office,
Ireland.
Lord Hartland was examined by the LORD
CHANCELLOR—He was nearly related to the first
Lord Sandford. He died without issue. He was
married to a Miss Oliver. Had two brothers—the
elder a Clergyman, was married, but died without
issue. The third Lord died unmarried. The present
claimant was his Lordship's brother.
LEIGH PEERAGE.
Counsel were then culled in in this claim.
The Clerk of the House read a petition from
the claimant, praying their Lordships would post-
pone the further consideration of this claim till next
Sessions, for the purpose of enabling him to pro-
cure further evidence.
The COMMON SERGEANT then called the Rev.
Charles Gowd Carlie, Assistant Minister of St.
Mary's, Warwick, who produced the registry of the
marriage of Sir Christopher, on the 15th of Octo-
ber, 1670 ; also the baptism of Thomas, their son,
on the 26th of July, 1672.
The Curate of the parish of Wigan produced the
registry of the birth, baptism, and burial, of several
of the Leigh family of Haigh, down to Roger Leigh,
from whom the claimant alleges his descent, and
grounds his claim.
Mr. Ward, the Deputy Registrar of Chester,
produeed a return from the parish of Wigan of
births, baptisms, and burials, which contained an
entry, on the 12th of March, 1658, of the baptism
of Ellen, the daughter of Roger Leigh, of Haigh.
The original regiater was not forthcoming.
The Rev. Wm. Martin also produced several
registers.
The COMMON SERGEANT here proposed to put
in Dugdale's History of Warwickshire, as evidence
of the non-existence of the monument at Stoneleigh
Church at the period in question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR decided upon the inad-
missibility of such evidence. His Lordship wished
to know how Mr. Adams would get over the entry
of the baptism of Ellen, in 1658. Christopher
Leigh was born in 1626; it was now discovered
that Roger Leigh, of Haigh, had children born in
1658, only thirty-three years after the birth of
Christopher Leigh; it was, therefore, impossible
that Roger could be the grandson of Christopher,
because if such was the case two generations must
have passed away in the short space of 33 years.
Unless the Learned Counsel could get over this,
there was at once an end to the claimant's case.
Mr. ADAMS confessed that he was taken by sur-
prise, and trusted their Lordships would indulge him
with time, for the purpose of seeing if he could not
clear up the difficulty.

The. COMMON SERGEANT observed, that if his
Learned Friend Mr. Adams stood alone, there would
be no difficulty on his part to accede to his propo-
sition, but when those who instructed him had had
access at any time to the document, he thought it
rather too much to ask now for further delay.
Mr. ADAMS said, that the industry of his Learned
Friend's clients had not enabled them to discover
the document till within a few days.
The LORD CHANCELLOR bore testimony to the
industry exercised by the client of Mr Adams ; but
it was quite impossible for the House to appoint any
other day for the hearing of the case this Session.
The COMMON SERGEANT, if the House would
allow it, would proceed to address their Lordships.
He should not occupy more than half an hour, dur-
ing which period his Learned Friend, Mr. Adams,
might look over the documents.

Mr. ADAMS observed, it would be utterly impos-
possible for him to look over such voluminous do-
cuments in so short a period. Perhaps after strict
looking into the documents they might turn out
favourable to his clients.

Lord ELDON thought the onus of the production
of this document lay upon Mr. Adams' client, if he
expected any benefit to be derived from it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—As the case now stood
it was clearly against Mr. Adams' client.
Mr. ADAMS pressed for further time.

Lord ELDON observed, that he thought the
Learned Counsel quite right in pursuing such a
course; it was one thing to ask for time, and
another for the House to allow it.

Mr. Apams here asked their Lordships to allow
him five minutes, which was granted, after which
the Learned Counsel stated that he was unable to
carry the case further.

The CHAIRMAN (the Earl of Shaftesbury) then
put the question to their Lordships, whether the
claimant had made out his claim, which was nega,
tived nem. dis.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that Mr.
Banks, of the Enrollment Office, Ireland, had writ.
ten a letter, stating, that he had in his possession a
document that would at once prove fatal to the
claimant's claim.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

SIR LAUNCELOT SHADWELL, VICE-CHANCELLOR V.

HUTCHINSON.

This was an action by the Vice-Chancellor, as
trustee of a Mr. White, against the occupant of the
house No. 68, Wood-street, Cheapside, for building
up a workshop, by which a window belonging to his
neighbour was deprived of light.
WILLIAMS, for the defendant, contended, on
an old custom of the city of London, that persons
might build on an old foundation, even to the ex-
clusion of light from his neighbour's window.
Lord TENTERDEN observed, that the defendant,
in his opinion, could not claim the benefit of this
custom in this case. The present building had been
erected upon but two walls which could be con-
sidered as ancient foundations, whereas, he con-
sidered that it was necessary to have possession of an
ancient foundation for the whole of the walls of the
building, before a person could have the right of
blocking up his neighbour's Window.
The defendant then submitted to a verdict, with
leave to move for a new trial.

Verdict for the plaintiff, damages one shilling.

BALLOON ASCENT.
AMOW-

.ong the various amusements prevailing at this
season of the year was the ascent of Mr. George
Green, in his balloon, which took place yesterday,
from the Gardens of the Jamaica Tavern at Ro-
therhithe.
The balloon was inflated so early as Tuesday
afternoon, when many persons were admitted to
(view it, and not a few of both sexes were indulged
of course by paying a fee) with a seat in the car,
when it-ascended to a height of about 150 feet, but
Was prevented from ascending further by ropes be-
ing fixed from the balloon to' the ground. Yester-
day the Gardens were thrown open at one o'clock,
between which time and seven o'clock they were
thronged with highly respectable persons, and at the
latter hour we should suppose that not less than one
Thousand persons were present. The day was ex-
emely fine, which, added to the attractiveness of
an excellent band, tended very much to enliven the
scene.

The balloon was nearly new, and composed of
about 1,100 yards of silk; it was supplied most
copiously with gas, by the Phoenix Gas Company.
This was Mr. G. Green's 70th ascent, and it was
fully expected that a lady and gentleman would ac-
company him in his aerial excursion. In this, he
and the company were disappointed; but a gentle-
man who happened to be on the ground, named
Westcott, well known in the city, concluded terms
With Mr. Green, and eventually accompanied him
in his excursion.
For about an hour previous to Mr. Green and his
companion starting, a great number of ladies and
gentlemen, anxious to try the effect of a short aerial
v-ugage, were permitted, for live shillings each, to
ascend to the height of about 200 feet. This de-
layed the final ascension so much that Mr. Green
Was at length obliged to refuse all further accom-
Modation of the like, and at seven o'clock he and
Mr. Westcott stepped into the car ; in a few mi-
nutes the ropes were disengaged from the machine,
jand the intrepid aeronauts ascended in the most ma-
estic style almost perpendicularly. After they rose
several hundred feet they got into a current of air
which drove them towards the Brighton road, amid
the deafening cheers of the persons assembled within
and without the gardens,
as well as on the tops of
the neighbouring houses,' which were crowded with
spectators. They remained in sight for upwards of
half an hour.

IRELAND•-FIRE AND LOSS OF LIVES

lt is again our most painful duty to record ano-
ther destructive fire. On Wednesday night the
out-offices of a respectable and highly worthy man,
Junes Fortune, of Churchtown (Carne), were to-
tnilY consumed. On Monday the unfortunate man
had -
given up his dwelling-house to bathers, and he
and his brother's son, a fine child of eleven or
tvelve years of age, slept in a place which had
been fitted up for the purpose in part of his out-
office's. On the night mentioned, about eleven
o'cineks he was roused from his rest by fire falling
pon his face. In alarm, he started up and called on
ie boy to follow him; he did so for some distance;
bbut Whether the loft fell, or that the poor child
was
ildered by the fright, or suffocated by the smoke,
ot now be known—he never came forth. For-
tuneP • .
his distraction—and he is a man who hat
-"g laboured under severe bodily infirmity—had not
Presence of mind to observe, whether the child was
We. His sister--who, like himself, was unmarried
""vberl roused from her bed, which was in the
divelling-house, seeing her brother safe, and not
°serving her nephew, rushed with frantic despera-
,Si°o, and impelled by an affection equal to ma-
Ls'ernalp into the blazing house. She sought him
'' the bed--he had left it. All around, above
Ilnd below her, was on fire, still she continued
to search for him. It was in vain ; and when she
(*lane forth, the unhappy martyr to her humane affec-
tions was a burning masa. Clothes she had none;
let she came forth actually burning, and lived for
the space of two hours after, when the cold and de-
sirable hand of death relieved her from the burning
torture she must have suffered. Fortune's brother,
rho lives in a part of the country ten or twelve
stoles from the scene of this melancholy catastrophe,

urrible was the sight dto him. His sister
em
, all over burned—his beloved child, his eldest
tbq. a mutilated half cinder-like thing, for the de-
ructive element had separated the head from the
er dr, and the feet were totally consumed. There
no probable cause known how the conflagration
0
ecurred. Some believe it must have been by a
tjl ,lying on or very near the fire, whilst others
tolr.ln it was from lightning. By this dreadful visi-
th however it originated, poor Fortune has -los!
