BRUNSWICK, FEB. 7.

Notwithstanding the friendly exertions of several great
Conrts, the unhappy differences between the Duke of Bruns-
wick and the King of England are not yet arranged. The
Duke it seems will not 'evoke his edict of May 10, 1527,
which is considered as an insult to the King of England,
and his Highness continued to insist that Hanover
shall give up to him M. Schmidt Phiseldeck. It
appears that a new pamphlet against Hanover is in the
press, and will be presented to the Diet at Frankfort, by
which the unhappy differences between the two powers
will be made still more public. The ardent wish of every
body in 'Brunswick is that the Diet may be able soon to
decide it for the advantage of both countries.

The Debates in the House of Lords last night,
though brief and desultory, were not without inte-
rest. On the presentation of an Anti-Catholic Pe-
tition from Bristol by Lord ELDON, the .Duke of
SUSSEX entered at some length into the way in which
that petition had been got up ; he exposed its false
pretensions, its exaggerated number of signatdres, and
described the nature of the placards by which the In 7
tolerants had endeavoured to raise a "No Popery"
alarm in the neighbourhood. The Earl of ELDOS, of
course, attempted a reply, but though he exerted
his very utmost ingenuity, he made but a lame de-
fence—for this especial reason, that justice and com-

mon sense were against him.
On
.the question of the Dangerous Association
Suppression Bill, (which was read a third time and
passed), the Duke of WELLINGTON moved the intro-
duction into the Bill of a proviso, recommended by
Lord REDESDALE, to the following effect, " Provided
that nothing in this Act shall be construed to
authorize the suppression of ally Association as-
sembled for lawful purposes, on the ground of any
disturbance that may arise in consequence of the
intrusion of persons net members of such Associa-
tion." In the course of discussion on this subject,
the Marquis of A NGLESEA alluded to the Catholic
Association and the Brunswick Clubs, in a style and
with a spirit that did credit to his sagacity and his
sense of honour. He observed that these last Insti-
tutions were altogether unnecessary, for that the
Government (at least during his Administration)
had been invariably strong enough to protect itself.
The word " unnecessary" seemed to rouse the bile
of Lord LONGFORD, who zealously espoused the
cause of the Brunswickers in a speech which, for

intellect, temper, and singular fairness of argument,
was well worthy of those enlightened Protestants.
JOHN CLAUDIUS BERESFORD hirsself might have

been proud to own it !
Lord REDESDALE opposed the Bill, and indulged in
much vituperative eloquence at the expence of the
Catholic Priesthood. We must confess we are not
among the number of those (a small minority we
fear) who admire the logic of this eminent Senator.
His Lordship observed that the power of the Papal
hierarchy throughout Ireland was "most formidable,"
that it was without control, and under the influence
of a Foreign State. Yet this power, so formidable,
so uncontrolled, so confessedly estranged from
English influence, he proposer' still further to
increase, still further to estrange, by continuing a
system of restriction and coercion under which
alone it has attained its present formidable elevation.
If the Catholics be now supreme in Ireland, those
only are to be blamed who occasioned such supre-
macy by at► impolitic and unnatural persecution. Had
the Catholics been admitted years ago to the rights of
citizenship—had they been allowed the common
privileges of that Constitution which they have so
often fought and bled to maintain—they would long
since have ceased to be formidable, they would have
fallen in with the vast multitude of his MAJESTY'S
subjects, inspired by the same feelings, acted on by
the same interests, and would not now have stood
forth a gigantic isolated fraternity—an incubus to
scare the slumbers of Lord ELDoN, to warp the
logic of Lord REDESDALE, and obfuscate the ideas
of that Prince of punsters, his Grace of NEWCASTLE.

We understand, that in consequence of the large
number of voters who are expected to be present in
Oxford, at the ensuing election for the University,
Mr. PEEL'S Committee have felt it necessary to de-
tain coaches for the conveyance of his friends in all
the principal towns, especially at Bath,Exeter, Chel-
tenham, and Birmingham.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

The Court were occupied the whole of the morning
with cases of no interest, except to the parties immediately
concerned.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

HARRISON V. BRACKER.

This was an action for assault. The parties were both
butchers, and the matter in dispute was, or rather which
led to the dispute, was a stuck pig. The said pig was
hanging on a peg in the defendant's shop, and the plaintiff
purchased it from his forrman, and stuck it:-,with a stick
as a mark that it was sold. The toaster, 'however, re-
fused to ratify his foreman's bargain, a row ensued, the
plaintiff was struck, and taken to the Cornpter, and upon
these premises brought his action.
The evidence was very conflicting, but the jury found
for the plaintiff—Damages 51.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
JUDGMENT-COLVIN V. FRAZER..
MR. FARQUHAR'S WILL.

Sir JOHN NICHOLL gave judgment this morning in this
important case, the decision in which affects property to
a greater amount than in any suit that has come before the
Court for many years. The particulars of the case have been
fully before the public, the facts are as follows :—.3lr. Far-
quhar died suddenly on the sth of July, 1826, leaving be-
hind him property amounting to between 6 and 700,0001.
Immediately after his death, a strict search was made
amongst his papers, but no will could be found ; conse-
quently administration was granted to the next of kin,
seven nephews and nieces. Nearly twelve months after
this a copy of a will was received by Mr. Colvin
from India, which had been executed by Mr. Farquhar
before he left that country. In this will the deceased,
after bequeathing two annuities of 5001. each, gave the re-
sidue of his immense property to the promotion of education
in Scotland. The present suit was instituted to try the
validity of such will. On the part of the next of kin
it was contended, that the deceased having destroyed the
will of which the one now propounded was only a copy, it
was his intention to destroy the copy. On behalf of the
executor, it was alleged that deceased did not destroy the
will himself, but that it was destroyed by some of the rela-
tives. The Learned Judge, after going through the case
which occupied nearly four hours, concluded by declaring
it to be the opinion of the Court that the testator,
by destroying the copy of the will in his possession, meant
also to cancel the one in India; the judgment of the Court,
therefore, was that Mr. Farquhar died intestate. With
respect to costs, the Court at present would make no order.
The Court was crowded during the whole time.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

THE SILK TRADE.

EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SALE.

This morning there was a very numerous attendance of
persons engaged in the silk trade, at the East India Com-
pity's Sale-coon-., wht-n, pursuant to adjournment, the
sale of silks was to have recotnuicnced.

At ten o'clock the Director attendant on thf sale took
his seat, when a nowt...tot er, whose name we could not
learn, addressed the Chair, awl said, that in consequence of
what had taken place yesterday, a deputation of the trade
had waited upon the Board of Trade, to know whether
any, and what measures, were to be adopted to place the
silk trade in a more prosperous condition than at present.
An appointment had been made by the Board of Trade
with the silk trade to meet 'this afternoon, to enter into
the subject more fully. It was therefore considered
necessary that an adjournment of the sale should take
place until to-morrow, in order that the views of Minis-
ters may be ascertained previous to their purchasing the silks.
Time was required by the deputation to prepare arguments
to meet the Board of Trade. He moved that the sale he
adjourned accordingly.
The motion having been seconded,

. ,
The CHAIRMAN said, the East India Company were
ready to afford every accommodation, and if it were the
unanimous wi,h of the trade that the sale should be ad-
journed, he should.adjourn it.
A Gentleman took objection to any adjournment. The
sale he considered ought to proceed, for the protection not
only of the Company's goods, but for the licensed trade
goods, which might be mutually depreciated by delay.
Besides, there really was nothing new in the condition of
the silk trade to warrant further delay.—(Cries of ad-
journ, adjourn.)—He moved as an amendment, that the
sale do proceed, and that
.those prices be given which the
trade could afford. The present prices obtained for silks
were far above those given by the Company.—(Adjourn,
adjourn.)

The CITAIRMAN.-It appears to me that the opinion of
the trade is, that the sale should be adjourned, and I ad-
journ it accordingly.—(Loud cheers.)
The trade adjourned, and the deputation had a private
meeting at the London Tavern, to propose authentic de-
tails to lay before Ministers at the interview this afternoon.

The deputation, after returning from Downing-street
yesterday, hold a meeting, when several of the most emi-
nent in the silk trade expressed their opinions upon the
policy of Government relative to the silk trade. On all
hands it was agreed that the trade was exceedingly bad, and
that some steps should be adopted to place it en a better
footing. The arguments before the Board of Trade to• day
are expected to be exceedingly long.

TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There is another large arrival of Foreign Wheat this
week, chiefly from Spain, hut very small supplies of all
other kinds of Corn. There is scarcely any business doing
in the Wheat trade this morning, and prices remain no-
minally as on Monday. Barley, Beans, and Pease, re-
main extremely dull. The factors are holding good Oats
rather more firmly, hut the buyers appear unwilling to
purchase beyond a limited extent. Flour remains as last
reported. ARRIVALS.
