VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE CORPORATION OF DARTMOUTH V. HOLESWORTH.
In this case a bill was filed by the Corporation of
Dartmouth against the defendant, Arthur Howes Holes-
worth, and the object of the suit was that the plaintiffs
might be relieved from the payment of a certain bond
by having it delivered up to be cancelled, and that an in-
junction might be obtained to restrain proceedings at
law upon that bond.
Mr. GIRDLESTONE, who opened the case for the
plaintiffs, said that the bond in question was dated May
22, 1833, and had been given to the defendant under the
common seal of the Corporation, for the purpose of se-
curing to him the payment of the sum of 1,249/. Ss. 9d.
with interest. That sum was the amount of costs of
certain legal proceedings which had been paid by the
defendant ; and these proceedings were taken on a quo
warrant() instituted by the Attorney-General against
the defendant and others formerly members of the Cor-
poration of Dartmouth. The Corporation consisted
previously to the passing of the Municipal Corporations
Act of a certain number of aldermen, two bailiffs, and
and an indefinite number of freemen, the governing
body composed of a' Mayor and Councillors, amounting
altogether to twelve. The first charter constituting the
Corporation was of the 3d Edward 111., in the year
1340 ; and by an Act of James 1., the Mayor and
twelve burgesses were empowered to make by-laws bind-
ing on the whole body. By a by-law passed in the
month of September, 1706, it was enacted that no act of
the Corporation should be legal unless the major part
of the governing body should be present, and unless ten
days' notice should have been given that a meeting of
the body was to be held. In the year 1829 a gentleman
of the name of Whitney was exercising the office of
Mayor of the borough, and the defendant was at that
time one of the aldermen. The defendant was a gentleman
of great influence in the borough, in which he possessed
considerable property, and which, previous to the passing
of the Reform Act, he had for several years represented
in Parliament. The defendant, at the time in question,
also exercised a paramount influence in the nomination
of the members for the Corporation. It occurred to cer-
tain burgesses and inhabitants of the borough that this
influence had been illegally assumed, and as improperly
exercised ; and a rule nisi was obtained in Michaelmas
term 1829 by the Attorney-General at the relation of
those parties, calling on Mr. Whitney, the Mayor,
to show cause why an information of quo warrant() should
not!! be issued, calling upon him to show by what autho-
rity he exercised his office. In Hilary term 1830 that
rule was argued and the rule was made absolute. It ap-
peared that Mr. Whitney not liking to undertake the
defence of those proceedings, Mr. Holesworth under-
took the defence for him ; and accordingly Mr. Holes-
worth authorised Mr. Robert Priddeaux, his private so-
licitor and the Town-clerk of the Corporation, to con-
duct the proceedings on his behalf. The rule having
been made absolute, fifteen informations were filed
against the Mayor and other individuals, two of whom,
of the name of Newman and Rennels, were at the time
burgesses, but not aldermen. The defendant Holesworth,
who was an alderman, was also one of the parties. The
defendant undertook the defence to these proceedings,
Samuel Priddeaux, who had succeeded to the office of
Robert Priddeaux, deceased, acting as his solicitor. In
Trinity Term, 1830, judgment was given with costs against
the Mayor, Whitney, upon the information filed against
him. It appeared that on the 11 th June, 1830, there had
been a meeting held by some members of the corporation,
and a memorandum was signed at that meeting by Mr.
Whitney, the Mayor, by Thomas Newman, Henry
Holesworth, Joseph Parke, Edward Brooking, Robert
Holesworth, Thomas Newman, and Frank Rennels, who
were all among the individuals against whom the infor-
mation had been filed. That memorandum was: to the
effect, that the defence to the informations should be
left to the defendant. It appeared, however, to the
parties on further inquiry, that no defence could be set
up against the intlirmations; and the consequence was
that, after the defence had been proceeded with,
to a certain point disclaimers were instituted upon all
the informations then pending, and the result was, that
judgment with costs was given against the defendant.
The costs amounted to the sum of 1,2491. Bs. 9d., and
those costs were paid by Mr. Holesworth. No claim
had been made upon the Csrporation for the payment of
that sum, either by Mr. Holesworth or by his solicitor,
until the month of April, 1833, although there had in the
mean time been many dealings between the Corporation
and the defendant. In the month of April, 1833, however,
Mr. Holesworth made out a bill of costs for the amount
of the expenses of the legal proceedings ; and that bill
was forwarded, on the 15th of that month, to the then
Mayor, Mr. Strong. On the same day a meeting of the
Corporation was held, at which there were but five mem-
bers present, together with the defendant, who assisted
there as Recorder, at which the claims of Mr. Holes-
worth were discussed, and a resolution was passed that
the subject should be taken again into considera-
tion at an adjourned meeting. Mr. Harkstone,
however, one of the aldermen present, refused to
sign that resolution, so that it had only the
signatures of the Mayor, and of three other individuals,
who were among the parties against whom the informa-
tions had been filed. On the 22d of April a meeting
was held, at which two gentlemen, of the names of
Codner and Harris, were created aldermen; and on the
16th of May, 1833, another meeting was held at which
eight aldermen assisted. At that meeting a resolution
was passed to the effect that the town seal should be at-
fixed to a bond, for the purpose of securing to Mr. Holes-
worth the amount of the legal expenses he had incurred.
It appeared, however, that Messrs. Cockier and Harris,
two of the gentlemen present, had refused at first to sign
the resolution ; but their scruples were removed by
certain representations made to them, but which it was
contended were false. They were told among other
things that Counsel had been consulted, who declared the
legality of Mr. Holesworth's claim, although there was
no evidence that that representation was true. The
Municipal Corporation Act was subsequently passed, and
the consequence was that the new Corporation refused
to pay the amount of the bond. Mr. Holesworth
brought an action before the Court of Qneen's Bench
against the Corporation for its payment ; to that action
three pleas had been put in. Those pleas were over-
ruled by the Court, and the question at common law was
therefore disposed of. But the Corporation came before
this Court on their equitable claim. It was contended
that they had no right to pay the amount of the bond.
At the meeting at which the bowl had beengranted it had
been represented that the sum was a debt owing by the Cor-
poration t o Mr. Holesworth, that the expense had been in-
curred at the request of the Corporation, and that Counsel
had been consulted as to the legality of the claim. These re-
presentations, however, were false ; and the members
who empowered Mr. Holesworth to conduct the legal
proceedings had not acted as a corporate bode, and a
sufficient number of the Corporation had not been pre-
sent at the proceedings. The plaintiff was not, therefore,
entitled in equity to the payment of the bond.
Mr. WAKEFIELD having argued at some length against
the application made to the Court, on the ground that
there was no equitable grounds for refusing to the de-
fendant the sum he had expended, and which had been
insured to him by the bond, the further hearing of the
case was postponed till Monday.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

STANDA RD.—The day of election for a Profes-
sor of Poetry has been definitively fixed for Thursday,
the 27th inst. The polling will commence at ten
o'clock in the morning, and will continue throughout
the day. It was originally understood that the election
would have taken place on the 26th ; but it has since
been decided that the day should be altered to the
27th, and a formal notice has been issued to that
effect. We have already written and published much
on the great question to he tried, but we could not
with a safe conscience relax in a case in which we
firmly believe the clergy of England and the University
of Oxford to he upon their trial. The election, we
are informed by a correspondent, must, according to
usage, be made in a manner to preclude the identifica-
tion of voters. Much as men ought. to dislike secrecy
in any public act, the appeal to the Ballot in the present
case is so far fortunate, as it ob%iates the main ohjee
tion offered to a contest, namely, that it would
place friends in manifest opposition. For our own
part, we have ro tenderness for friendship in such
rr, a • tLm If a friend perversely or stupidly takes a line
which we behne to be sinful, we regard the temporal
inconvenience to which he may expose himself by
such conduct as kind and wholesome chastisement,
necessary to bring him to a sense of his sin,
and which, therefore, it would not be the part
of friendship to divert. On the other hand,
men ought not to be ashamed to act right, who_
ever may act wrong. But be this as it may,
iction on personal grounds is removed
m of the election. Much, however, has been
by men entitled to ail respect, of the evil of
!st, however carried 011 ; but one consideration
be lost sight of by such as hold that a con-

test can be avoided. The public, including the whole
body of laymen in the Church, have R right to
know the opinions of their religious teachers, and
the bias of the University at which their chil-
dren are to be educated ; and these they can now
learn in no other way than by a clear, unequivocal de-
cision of the question now in issue. If Mr. Williams
and his friends beat a chamade—we care not under
what pretext, because we know them well enough to
know that nothing but a certainty of ignominious defeat
will cause them to retire—if Mr. Williams and his
friends withdraw, or if they be signally defeated, as we
trust they will be, upon a poll, the clergy of the Uni-
versity will preserve that glorious character which has
been theirs for centuries. But (we will imagine no-
thing so terrible as a Tractarian triumph) a compro-
mise would be utterly fatal. The character of the
clergy and of the University is, we repeat it, the pro-
perty of the country—a property which many of us
look upon as the most precious of all our national
possessions ; bat this character has been aspersed by
sectarian enemies. Oxford is, we will not say sus-
pected, but accused, of favouring the Romanist schism.
The accusation was brought openly in the House of
Commons, and boldly repelled as far as it could be by
the testimony of individuals ; but now Oxford is called
upon to render her own testimony in reply to this accu-
sation, and silence on her part will amount to a plea of
guilty, and to a disavowal of her Parliamentary defenders.
GLOBE.—In all the interminable discussions to
which the subject of the Corn-laws has given rise, it has
been customary for the friends of the present system to
maintain, that if provisions would be purchasable for
less money, through a reduction of the taxes on food,
there would be a corresponding, or even a greater,
diminution in the wages of those classes to whom the
dearness of provisions is now the cause of so much
misery. Without now entering into the merits of the
question whether an alteration in the Corn-laws would
have the effect of diminishing the income of a
manufacturing operative so much as to leave him as
badly off as he is at present—a conclusion that has
been over and over again shown to be absurd—we may
ask the advocates of dear living whether there is not in
this country a frightful amount of distress among in-
dividuals whose scanty earnings could not be injuriously
affected by the proposed measure for making bread
cheap ; and who, while they gained as much or more
than they can do now, would be enabled to obtain a
much larger quantity of food for the same amount of
money ? The ingenious disputants who deal with no-
thing less lofty than commerce and agriculture, the ma-
nufacturing, the trading, or the landed interests, with the
statistics relating to each, as the only worthy subjects
of their elaborate and sometimes rather mystical essays
on political economy, would feel it to be an affront to
their dignity were we to begin to talk to them about
washerwomen, watermen, cab-drivers, charwomen, and
those industrious individuals by whom mangling and
ironing are done, or messages and parcels carefully de-
livered ; but we can assure those gentlemen who de-
clare that cheap food will profit nobody, that if they
would only walk into the humble apartments of the
thousands of individuals belonging to the classes we
have named, it would be found that in many cases
wretchedness might be relieved, in all comfort increased,
and in none earnings diminished, by a reduction in the
cost of the necessary articles of nourisment.

The important Corn-law Conference for the
counties of Hants, Wilts, and Dorset, including the
Isle of Wight, will take place in Sonthampton on the
Ist of February next.
A rumour was afloat in Paris that the Duke
d'Angouleme was dead.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 14.----The Dee, West
India mail packet, left Southampton with a large number
of passengers at one o'clock this afternoon. She will re-
ceive the mail for the West Indies, Mexico, and New
Orleans, at Falmouth, on the morning of the 17th inst.
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 14.—(From a Corres-
pondent.)—Her Majesty's ship Vindictive, with five
other men-of-war, are to sail immediately for the Downs,
to meet the ship that conveys the King of Prussia to
this country, and to fire salutes in honour of his Ma-
jesty's arrival. The Vindictive will then go to Ply-
mouth to take in stores and proceed immediately to the
Bermudas.

FIRE AT WOBURN ABBEY.—On the evening
of the 13th, a fire was discovered in one of the servants'
rooms at Woburn Abbey. The floor was much burnt,
but within half an hour the fire was subdued without
any considerable damage. The activity and coolness of
the servants essentially contributed to the extinction of
the fire, or the injury might have been much greater.
We believe it is now no longer secret that Sir
Robert Peel has been compelled to succumb to the mo-
nopolists in the Cabinet. Whatever intentions he might
have of proposing a change in the Starvation-laws, in
some degree approaching to the public expectations, have
been so pared down and modified, as to be no longer
objects of alarm to the Buckingham and Knatchbull
section of the Cabinet, and consequently will be impo-
tent for good to the interests which are crushed nearly
out of existence by the pressure on their energies.
A circumstance not unworthy of record occurred
' on the revival of The Gamester at Drury-lane Theatre,
on Wednesday last. The gallery doors were besieged by
a considerable crowd at an early hour. At the shilling
gallery the pressure was so great that the doors were
actually forced open before the money-takers were at
their posts. A number of persons entered and took pos-
session of the seats. Expulsion would have been diffi-
cult, if not impossible; but application being made, the
money was honourably and very readily paid in every in-
tance, the rush having been occasioned by a real interest
in the performance of the drama. From such a fact the
reader may "point a moral" as to the influence of a na-
tional theatre on the poorer classes of society.
THE PUFF EXTRAORDINARY.—An Ame-
rican vender of "magic strops," in puffing off his wares
in a New York paper, commences his advertisement
thus :—" John Kemble, the tragedian, on being asked
his opinion of an independent man, replied, One who
can shave himself and use cold water.' "

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE

CAPTURE OF AMOY.
ADMIRALTY, JAN. 12. 1842.

Despatches have been received at this Office from
Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, K.C.8., of which
the following are copies or extracts :
___

- Wellesley, at Amoy, Aug. 31, 1841.
request you will lay before my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty the accompanying
copy of a despatch which 1 have addressed to the
Right Hon. the povernor-General of India, detailing
the proceedings of her Majesty's squadron under my
command, in the capture of the city of Amoy and the
island of Golong-soo, with all their fortifications and de-
fences, by the combined forces of the expedition on the
26th instant ; on which event I beg to congratulate
their Lordships, and reiterate my entire approbation of
the gallantry and good conduct of all the officers, sea-
men, and royal marines of her Majesty's squadron, as
well as those of the Indian navy, and Bombay artillery
under my command.—l have the honour, &c.
(Signed) W. PARKER, Rear-Admiral.
To the Secretary to the Admiralty.

Wellesley, in the Bay of Amoy, Aug. 31, 1841.
MY LORD,-It is with much gratification that I have
the honour of announcing to your Lordship the capture
of the city of Amoy and the island of Golong-soo
(which forms the west side of the harbour), together
with their strong lines of batteries and sea defences,
mounting above 228 guns, by the combined forces of
her Majesty, after a short but vigorous attack, on the
26th inst., with very trifling loss on our part.
The expedition, comprising the ships of war here-
after named, and twenty-one transports, containing
the land forces, military and victualling stores, &c.
under the command of his Excellency Major-General
Sir Hugh Gough, sailed from the anchorage of Hong-
kong on the 21st, and fortunately arrived off the islands
at the entrance of Amoy by sunset on the 25th.
A few shots were discharged at her Majesty's
ships as they passed between the fortified islands,
but no mischief was done. It was then beginning
to blow strong, but favoured by a fair wind and
good moonlight, with the advantage of the local
knowledge of Captain Bourchier of the Blonde, the
fleet were pushed into the bay, and anchored in security
for the night. . _

It blew too bard during the night to admit of any
boats leaving the ships to sound or make observations ;
but no time was lost after daylight in reconnoitering
the Chinese positions, in which the General and Sir
Henry Pottinger did me the favour to accompany me
in the Phlegethon steam-vessel.
We found the batteries and works of defence on the
entire sea face strengthened by every means that
the art of these active people could devise ; present-
ing a succession of batteries and outworks, from the
extreme outward points of this extensive bay, until
within about three quarters of a mile of the entrance of
the harbour, where a high barrier•wall was constructed
from the foot of a steep and rocky mountain to a sandy
beach on the sea ; and from this latter point a strong
casemated wall of granite, faced with soil, and occa-
sional small bastions, with parapets of stone, to afford
flanking defences, was continued to the very suburbs
and entrance of the harbour, from whence were masked
batteries with sand-bags, until opposite the north-east
point of Golong-soo island, altogether one hundred and
fifty-two guns.

On the island of Golong-soo, which is the key of
Amoy, strong batteries, mounting in all seventy-six
guns, were also placed in every commanding position for
flanking the approach to the harbour (which is scarcely
half a mile wide at the entrance), and protecting the
accessible points of landing.
As it was of the utmost importance, with a view
to ulterior operations, and the advanced period of
the present monsoon, that we should ee delayed as
short a time as possible at Amoy, it was determined
that the batteries within the barrier wall and on the
island of Golong-soo should be immediately attacked
by the squadron, and the troops landed within the
barrier as soon as 't might be practicable, to take the
batteries in the rear. For this object the Wellesley
and Blenheim were ordered to anchor against the
strongest batteries on Amoy, and as near the entrance
of the harbour as possible, ':savingthe Cruiser,
Pyledes, Columbine, and Algerine, to engage the ex-

treme point of the line, and cover the landing of the
troops, flanked by the heavy guns of the Sesostris and
Queen steam-vessels, the Phdegethon and Nemesis be-
ing appointed to receive the troops, and tow in the
boats for landing them.
The attack on the island of Golong-soo, where we
bad reason to apprehend the water was shoaler, was
assigned to Captain Bourchier, of the Blonde, with the
Druid and Modesto, 150 marines under Captain Ellis,
and a detachment of the 26th Regiment, under Major
Johnstone.
Pending the necessary preparations for disembark-
ing the troops and moving the ships into their ap-
pointed positions, a communication was received from
the shore, requesting to know the object of our visit, to
which the answer No. 1 was returned.
About a quarter past one, a steady and favourable
breeze having set in, the squadron weighed, and pro-
ceeded to their stations. The Sesostris, being the most
advanced, received a heavy fire before any return was
made. She was soon joined by the Queen, and both
commenced action with good effect.
The 'Wellesley and Blenheim, after ranging along
the line of works o❑ Amoy under a smart fire, were
anchored by the stern about half-past two r.st., ad-
mirably placed by Captains Maitland and Herbert in
ten fathoms water, within 400 yards of the principal
battery, precisely in the position allotted them, and the
Cruiser, Pylades, Columbine, and Algerine, took
their stations with equal judgment.
The Blonde, Druid, and Modesto, reached their
positions against the batteries on Golong•soo a few
minutes earlier, but their Captains found such difficulty,
from the shallowness of the water, in placing them satis-
factorily, that to effect this object they very spiritedly
carried their ships into almost their ow❑ draught.
The Bentieck had been appointed to sound the
channel a-head of the Wellesley, as we ran in, which
Lieut. Collinson very skilfully performed, and then gal-
lantly anchored the brig within the entrance of the har-
bour, where she was joined by the Sesostris, which was
placed by Captain Ormsby in a very judicious situation
for relieving her and the other ships from a flanking fire.
The fire of the Chinese soon slackened under the
excellent gun practice of the squadron. At half-past
three I had the satisfaction of seeing tho Marines and
the 26th Regiment land on the island of Golong-soo,
and the British colours planted on the batteries. The
Modeste and Blonde then weighed and stood into the
inner harbour ; and, after silencing, they passed the
town batteries, which were out of our reach ; they an-
chored completely inside and abreast of the city, taking
possession of twenty•sis war junks, with 128 guns on
board, in a state of preparation for sea, but deserted
by their crews.
/bout the same time the first division of troops were
landed under the-able direction of Commander Giffard,
of the Cruiser, and, headed by their gallant General,
Sir Hugh Gough, escaladed and took possession of the
works at the barrier wall.

An outwork beyond this point (which had been
previously silenced) was also entered, and the British
colours hoisted by the crew of a boat from the Phle-
getbon ; and the batteries immediately opposite the
Wellesley and Blenheim being nearly demolished, a
party of seamen and marines were landed from those
ships, under the command of Commander Fletcher,
and the officers undermentioned. by whom the Chinese,
who had taken shelter in an adjoining building, were
put to flight, after discharging their matchlocks, and
possession taken of the works. Wellesley—Acting-
Lieutenaat Carmichael, Lieutenant White, Royal
Marines ; Mates, Lord A. Beauclerk, S. S. L. Crof-
ton, L. G. Halsted ; Midshipman, W. F. F. Jackson.
Blenheim—Captain Whitcomb, Royal Marines; Mates,
R. C. Kerern, F. A. St. Leger.
The General having cleared the intermediate space
of such of the Chinese as remained, pushed forward
and occupied the heights immediately above the town
for the night, every point being thus completely in our
power. _ . _

In detailing this service to your Lordship, I have
the highest satisfaction in' reporting the gallantry,
zeal, and energy which have been manifested by
every officer and man in her Majesty's Navy and
Royal Marines, as well as those of the Indian Navy
under my command. They have vied with each
other in the desire to anticipate and meet every ob.
ject for the public service, and are fully entitled to my
best acknowledgments, and the favourable consideration
of the Board of Admiralty and Indian Government. I
have no less pleasure in witnessing the anxiety which
pervades all ranks to go hand in hand with our gallant
companions of the army.
His Excellency Sir H. Pottinger and suite were with
me on board the Wellesley during the operations of
the 26th.

Captain Bouchier's own report (Enclosure No. 2)
will best describe the proceedings of the little
squadron placed under his orders for the attack of
Golong-soo. which was admirably executed ; and
I can only add my meed of praise on this additional
instance of the gallantry of Captain Ellis and the
officers and men of the Royal Marines under his com-
mand, as well as of Major Johnston and the detachment
of the 26th acting with them.
The accounts we have received of the force of the
Chinese for the defence of Amoy vary from five thou-
sand six hundred to ten thousand troops ; and it is
with sincere pleasure I am enabled to transmit to your
Lordship so small a list of casualties amongst the crews
of the squadron. (Enclosure No. 3.) The resist-
. .

once made by our opponents would have justified the
apprehension of greater injury. Under the pro-
tection of their well-constructed casemated works,
they stood on some points firmly to their
guns. We have no knowledge of their actual loss.
More than sixty dead bodies were, I believe, found in
the batteries ; but nearly all the wbunded, and many
of the slain, were carried off by their countrymen.
His Excellency, the Commander of the Forces, will
probably give your Lordship an account of the muni-
tions of war and Government stores which have fallen
into our hands, including a large quantity of gunpowder
and a foundry for cannon, where some guns of very
large calibre, newly cast, have been discovered.

We have been constantly employed in destroying the
guns, and, as far as it has been practicable, the batte-
ries, taken on the 26th. The last two days Commander
Fletcher, with a party of seamen and marines, has been
also detached in the Nemesis, and, with very commend-
able zeal, has completely disabled the guas on every
battery on the north-east and the south-west sides of

the bay, and the fortified islands at the entrance, of
which your Lordship will find official returns.
The superiority of the bay and inner harbour of
Amoy has much exceeded our expectations. The
anchorage in the former appears excellent ; and the
latter, as far as our hasty surveys have gone, affords
perfect security for ships of any class, and, to a
great extent, with a reasonable prospect of proving
a healthy situation. Sir Hugh Gough and myself
have, therefore, entirely concurred with his Ex-
cellency Sir Henry Pottinger, in the expediency
of retaining possession of the island of Golong-soo,
which will at any time give us the command of Amoy,
until your Lordship's wishes, or the pleasure of her
Majesty's Government is known. For this purpose a
sufficient garrison will be placed on the island by the
General, and I propose to leave Captain Smith, of the
Druid, with the Pylades and Algerine, for their support.
The wind is, unfortunately, at present adverse, but
your Lordship may be assured that the expedition will
proceed to the northward the moment it is practicable,
in the further execution of our instructions.
I have the honour to be, &c.

British nation in these parts, to his Excellency the
Admiral, commanding in chief

instructions
by accession to the demands last year presented at
Tientsin, they shall regard it as their duty to resort to
hostile measures for the enforcement of those demands.
But the undersigned Plenipotentiary and Comman-
ders-in-Chief, moved by compassionate feelings, are
adverse to causing the death of so many officers and
soldiers as must perish, and urgently request the Ad-
miral commanding in chief in this province forthwith
to deliver the town and all fortifications of Amoy into
the hands of the British forces, to be held for the pre-
sent by them. Upon his so doing, all the officers and
troops therein will be allowed to retire with their per-
sonal arms and baggage, and the people shall receive
no hurt ; and whenever these difficulties shall be settled,
and the demands of Great Britain fully granted, the
whole shall be restored to the hands of the Chinese.

If these terms be acceded to, let a white flag be dis-
played from the fortifications.

Her Majesty's Ship Blonde, Inner Harbour of Amoy,

August 27, 1841.

SlR—The operation• of the force you did me the
honour to place under my command for the attack of
the island of Golong-soo were so immediately under
your observation, that little remains to me beyond the
agreeable duty of bringing to your Excellency's notice
the admirable conduct of every officer and man I had
the honour to command.

The squadron was led into action by Captain Eyres,
commanding her Majesty's sloop Modeste, with the
most perfect skill and gallantry. The Blonde and
Druid followed, and were placed as near as the shoal-
ness of the water would admit to the three principal
batteries, which they succeeded in silencing after a
fire of ono hour and twenty minutes, when the Ma-
rines, under the gallant Captain Ellis, were landed,
and carried the heights with their accustomed bravery.
The distance of the transports prevented the 26th
(Cameronian) Regiment from being sent on shore at
the same moment with the Marines, but they were
promptly after them ; and the detachment of that dis-
tinguished corps, under Major Johnston, assisted in elear-
ing the remaining batteries, and dispersing the enemy.
From Captain Smith, of her Majesty's ship Druid,
I received the most able support. That ship was
placed with most excellent judgment, and her conduct
such as was to be expected from her high state of
discipline. This island being now completely in our
possession, I left the Druid to protect it, and pushed
the Modeste and Blonde into the inner harbour,
silencing their war-junks and batteries on the oppo-
site shore as we passed ; and I have herewith the
honour to enclose a return of the vessels captured and
ordnance destroyed. The officers and crew of this ship
merit my highest praise, as well as the party of Royal
Artillery serving on board, under the command of Lieut.
the Hon. R. E. Spencer. I should be wanting in jus-
tice were I to close this letter without bringing to your
notice the merits of Lieut. Sir Fred. Nicholson, first of
this ship, to whose valuable assistance I am much in-
debted ; and I must, also beg to name to your Excel-
lency the senior mates of this ship, Messrs. Walker,
Rolland, and Anderson, young officers of much promise.
I hare great pleasure in adding that this service was
performed without loss of life on our part, although the
ships have suffered considerably in their masts, sails,
and rigging,

The Captains of the Druid and Modeste speak in the
highest terms of their officers and ships' companies. I
enclose the report of Captain Ellis, of the Royal Ma-
rines. (Signed) T. BOURCHIER, Captain.

Military Quarters, Royal Marines, Island of Golong-soo,

near Amoy, Aug. 27, 1841.
SlR—Having yesterday received your directions to
land from her Majesty's ship Blonde and Druid under
your orders, the detachments of Royal Marines of
the ships Wellesley, Blenheim, Blonde, Druid,
and Modeste, and drive the enemy from the strong
battery of Golong_soo you had previously en-
gaged, I have the honour to acquaint you, for the
information of Rear-Admiral Sir I,Villiam Parker,
K.C.13., Commander-in-Chief, that in furtherance of
that object I landed with them on a sandy beach to
the right of the battery, and after some difficulty in
climbing rocks and other impediments, succeeded in
gaining the ridge, and the flank of the Chinese position.
The enemy, before we bad gained the level, op.
posed us courageously, attacking us with matchlocks,
spears, and stones ; but we soon drove them before
us, cleared the battery, and dispersed there, the gar-
rison retreating to the rear, many of whom effected
their escape by boats on the beach to Amoy opposite.
Several men were killed in and about the battery.

In following the retreating party (some of whom
also were wounded) I made a detour of this large
and populous island, and discovered at its western
extremity a sand-bag battery of nine guns, and a few
jingals ; they were also loaded, but did not appear
to have been recently discharged. No other armed
party of the enemy was fallen in with. I am happy
to add, that in those operations no casualty happened
to the detachment I have the honour to command ;
moreover, I have great pride in reporting to you that
all the officers, non-commissioned officers, rank and file,
throughout the day, conducted themselves, individually
as well as collectively, with a courage, zeal, and perse-
verance, far beyond my power to express.

A ERY in the ISLAND of CUBA.
NOTE ADDRESSED BY THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR AT
MADRID TO THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT, RELATIVE
TO THE SLAVES IN THE ISLAND OP CUBA.
British Legation in Spain, Madrid, Dec. 17, 1840.
SlR—Notwithstanding that the traffic in slaves, under
the flag of Spain, has considerably diminished, in virtue
of the Treaty of June 15, 1835, between Great Britain
and Spain, nevertheless the dealers in slaves have
hoisted other colours for the protection of their ships, by
which means new importations of blacks from Africa
have continued to supply the island of Cubs.
It has been thought, in spite of this, that these abuses
might be put a stop to by conferring on the mixed Com-
mission, sitting at the Havannah, the power to investi-
gate into the cases of the negroes existing at Havannah
in slavery, and declare whether they have been imported
or not into the island subsequent to the 30th of October,
1820, and to decide whether the said negroes should be
emancipated.
With this object, her Majesty's Government has pre-
pared the draft of a convention, which I have been or-
dered to propose to the Spanish Government.
I somo months since submitted a copy of the said Con-
vention to M. Perez do Castro, and his Excellency pro-
mised me that the matter should be immediately taken
into consideration.

I have, therefore, the honour of now submitting to your
Excellency another copy of the draft of the above-men-
tioned Convention, the object of which I some time since
explained to your Excellency.
Her Most Catholic Majesty's Government has invari-
ably professed the same lively wishes as those which in-
fluence Great Britain, in co-operating in all the measures
already proposed for the abolition of this abominable
traffic, and, notwithstanding, it is an unquestionable fact,
that instead of being lessened or somewhat modified, in
consequence of the restrictive measures heretofore
adopted, the evil increases in the Spanish colonies, which
position is unanswerably confirmed by the progressive in-
crease of the slave population.
In order to remedy this great abuse and violation of
the existing treaties, it is proposed to confer on the
mixed commission the power of enforcing the national
law established to that effect, elevating it to a degree. of
sufficiency and vigour that shall place it in a condition
to effectually destroy the evil ; because, by preventing
the demand for victims their shipment from Africa will
be checked. It is only necessary to convince the pur-
chasers, as well as the owners of African slaves, that they
cannot reckon on possessing their illegal acquisitions
with impunity, in order to prevent their continuing to
employ their capitals in this traffic, because they are no
longer a commodity which can be offered for sale in the
market. This is the only way of compelling people to
abandon a traffic which can no longer yield advantages.
All these objects will be attained by means of the stipu-
lations in the proposed Convention.
It may, perhaps, be objected that this convention
might produce discontent, and even promote insurrection
among those slaves who, in consequence of the place of
their birth, or the date of their importation, would have
no claim to be emancipated; but in respect of said objec-
tion, should it be made, I must observe to your Excel-
lency that, in the plan proposed, it is not intended to in-
terfere with the Creole population, or with such of the
slaves as were introduced into the island previous to the
80th October, 1820. Besides, the Proceedings for de-
claring the emancipation of negroes are to be carried
into effect individual by individual, and not by whole
cargoes ; by which means the execution of the conven-
tion will in reality be much less alarming in its totality,
or in its individual importance, than tho proceedings
sanctioned by the already existing treaties.
It is more than 20 years since the mixed commission
sat at the Havannah, during which period frequent dis-
cussions have arisen that have affected the liberty of
vhole cargoes of negroes, without there being a solitary
instance wherein the Captain-General of Cuba found
fault with the proceedings, which circumstance leads to
the supposition that the proposal for the extension of
powers to the mixed commission may be acceded to
without risk or inconvenience.
Whilst submitting all which to your Excellency, I
must add that her Catholic Majesty, will acquire great
and lasting glory by consenting to the proposed Conven-
tion, putting a term, by its means, to a practice that is
repugnant as well as contrary to humanity.--I avail my-
self of this opportunity for renewing, &c.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIOAN-HOUSE.

A man of respectable appearance, and evidently un-
practised in the ways of the town, applied to Alderman
Wilson upon a summons which had been granted
against a person to whom a bill had been intrusted for
the purpose of being cashed. The defendant appeared
by his attorney.
The complainant stated, that having present occasion
for 201., he applied to the defendant, whom he believed
to be able to procure the money upon his bill. The
defendant agreed to draw upon the complainant for the
sum, and for the commission of a sovereign, to procure
cash for the bill. Neither cash nor bill, however, was
forthcoming.
Alderman WlLeost said that numerous applications
were made weekly at the Mansion-house against par-
sons who fraudulently possessed themselves of the cash
produced by bills under similar circumstances, and the
complainants put it out of the power of the Magistrates
to render them any service, simply because they did not
inform themselves of the substance of the Act of Par-
liament on the subject, which Act of Parliament re-
quired that the parties who desired to have a bill dis-
counted, should give to the party employed to get it
cashed, a direction in writing to that effect. The Al-
derman asked Mr. Hobler whether such was not the
fact, and whether there was any mode by which, in this
case, service could be rendered to the complainant.
Mr. Hobler said that the Act to which Mr. Alder-
man Wilson alluded really appeared as if it had been
made to entrap men of business who might require
accommodation. The applications for summonses and
warrants against persons breaking faith after having
bean entrusted with bills for discount were very fre-
quent, and unfortunately the Magistrates could render
no service in such matters.
Alderman WILSON—I have no doubt at all that this
complainant has been robbed, and I am very sorry that
it is not in my power to benefit him in any manner. If
he had given a written notice on the occasion, I should
send a warrant after the man who has obtained his ac-
ceptance.

The complainant said he supposed that and• person
who detained either the cash given for a bill, or the bill
itself, was chargeable with an offence cognizable by a
Magistrate.
The attorney for the defendant submitted that it
was too soon for the complainant to say that he was de-
frauded, as the bill was not yet payable, and the de-
fendant who drew the bill was responsible as well as
the acceptor.
Alderman WILSON said he entertained no doubt
upon the subject at all. The complainant was cer-
tainly defrauded. The Alderman then told Mr.
nobler that it would be serviceable to men of business
to be made acquainted with the clause in the Act of
Parliament, which it appeared so few knew anything
about, and called upon him to read it.
Mr. Hobler then read the following from the 7th and
Bth of George IV., cap. 29. " And for the punish-
ment of embezzlements committed by agents entrusted
with property, be it enacted that if any money or secu-
rity for the payment of money, shall be intrusted to any
banker, broker, attorney, or other agent, with any
direction in writing, to apply such money or any part
thereof in the proceeds, or any part of the proceeds of such
security for any purpose specified in such security, and
he shall, in violation of good faith, and contrary to the
purpose so specified, in anywise convert to his own use
or benefit such money, security, or proceeds, or any
part thereof respectively, every such offender shall be
guilty of a misdemeanour, and, being convicted thereof;
shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court, to be
transported beyond the seas for any term not exceeding
fourteen years,: nor less than seven years, or to suffer
such other punishment, by fine or imprisonment, or by
both, as the Court shall award." It would, Mr.

Hobler observed, be extremely advantageous to the
public to know, that :unless a person accompanies the
bill he desires to get cashed with the "direction in
writing" referred to in this case, however extensive the
fraud may be it is outof the reach of a criminal procedure.
Alderman WILSON—So that, if a man hand over a
thousand pounds to his broker with a mere verbal di-
rection to buy stock for him, and that broker chose to
convert the money to his own use, the Act cannot
reach this offender.

Mr. Hob'cr.—Exactly se.
The Solicitor of the defendant submitted that the
quotation just read took the case quite out of the juris-
diction of the Magistrate.

Alderman WlliON—lt is the ease, and I very much
regret that so many delinquents escape in consequence
of what appears to m• to have arisen from a very great
oversight in the powers of the Act.
Several boys who are apprentices to Messrs. Newton
and Co, extensive cigar manufacturers in Friday-street,
were brought before Sir P. Laurie a few days ago,
charged with having struck in consequence of the in-
troduction of a boy to the work who was much younger
than any of them.

Mr. Towse, the solicitor to Messrs. Newton and Co.,
appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hobler, jun.,
attended for the prisoners, each of whom received from
103. to 18s. a week for working in the factory.
The trade of cigar-making has, as must be well
known to every body, become of wonderfully great ex-
tent, and increases daily ; for boys not only make but
smoke cigars ; and Mr. Towse stated that his clients
had 46 apprentices and 27 labourers constantly em-
ployed, so that any check to the business was calculated
to do great mischief. Mr. Newton thought proper to
introduce a boy, about twelve years of age, into his fac-
tory, and the lads who were brought before the Magis-
trate, not liking such a liberty, declared that they
would not work any more if the boy, whom they consi-
dered, on account of his youth, as an intruder, were not
discharged.
Sir P. LAURIE said he did not relish those disputes
between masters and apprentices, and he was, therefore,
desirous to act as a mediator.

Mr. Hobler, jun., said that the apprentices very rea-
sonably objected to the employment of a boy whom they
believed to be no more than nine or ten years old amongst
them, who were many of them eighteen or nineteen,
and who would, therefore, labour under great disadvan-
tages in comparison, as such a child would, by the time
be arrived at their years, be out of his time. They
would return to their work with alacrity if their master
gave them the fair play they asked for.
Mr. Towse said the apprentices bad no right at all
to interfere with their employers.
One of the apprentices said all he and his comrades
asked was, that Mr. Newton would do them the favour
of discharging the boy.
Mr. Newton said the boy, who was twelve years old,
was taken in to learn what was called " bunch making,"
and had a brother in the concern. He (Mr. Newton),
could not, for charity's sake, think of discharging the
poor boy, and he could not for a moment suppose that
his apprentices had the power to control him.
Sir PETER LAURIE-..-Certainly not. They have no
right to act in this manner ; and I would therefore
advise them, if they wish to avoid the treadmill, to
return to their duty. They are to consider that the
employment of this boy is a peculiar matter, and I
am sure Mr. Newton will not make a precedent of it.
Several of the defendants said they were desirous to
"go back to their work, but they could not help saying it
was too bad in Mr. Newton to take so mere au infant
as an apprentice.
Sir P. LAURIE then discharged them all, with the
exception of one who appeared to be the ringleader,
and whom he therefore caused to be remanded, and kept
upon bread and water till Thursday last.
That unfortunate apprentice, and three others, who
had been refractory subsequently, were brought up on
Thursday last before Sir P. Laurie.
Sir P. LAURIE asked whether the defendants were
sorry for the rebellious spirit they had exhibited, and
whether they were disposed to return to their duty ?
They all replied in the affirmative, and requested to
be informed whether their masters would treat them in
the accustomed manner.

Mr. Tows. said that they should receive the usual
treatment.

Mr. Hobler, jun., repeated that it was a great hard-
ship upon the defendants that so young a buy should
be put amongst them, and

Sir P. LAURIE agreed in that opinion, and dis-
charged them, with strict injunctions not to be in-
subordinate.

CLERKENWELL.

Yesterday, George Copperthwaite, 29, John Posford.
158, Sergeant Piper, 1, and Inspector Maude, of the E
division, were placeed before Mr. GREENWOOD, charged
under the 14th section of the Police Act, with having
exceeded their duty.
Mr. Davies, of the firm of Campbell and Davis, soli-
citors, of Red Lion-square, attended in support of the
prosecution, which was brought before the Magistrate by
order of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police.
Mr. Davies now declined making any charge against In-
spector Maude and Sergeant Piper, and they were di-
rected to remove from the bar.

Mr. Davies than stated that the defendants were
charged with having entered the apartments of Airs. Ann
Long, widow of the late Captain Makohn Long, of the
Royal Navy.
Mr. Mould, the clerk, inquired whether Mrs. Long was
present ?
Mr. Davies replied in the negative ; she was either at
Bath or Cheltenham. He proceeded to state that on
Thursday. the 6th of January last, between the hours
of four and eight o'clock in the evening, the defendants
improperly entered the house, No. 20, Compton-street,
Brunswick-square, pushed by the servant, and went up
stairs ; they were without their livery or dress, or any
authority; there was a lady lying on the sofa in the
drawing-room, and after asking if she was Mrs. Long,
and receiving a reply. in the affirmative, they said, she
must come with them, as they had a charge of felony
against her. The lady said she would, and got
up and sat upon a chair. Copperthwaito laid
hold of the chair, and attempted to force her out of the
seat. She refused to go out, and Mr. Holmes, her land-
lord, entered the room, when he said, " If you are going
to take the lady into custody let me have a word with
you ;" and he asked them for their warrant or authority.
They said they were Bow-street officers. He then said
you have no business here. They refused to leave the
room, and the lady during the interview sent for several
professional ged,tlemen, and Mr. Paulson, of Bouverie-
street came, and Mr. Davies azTivoc.l in a quarter of an

he was sent there 6y his inspector, and he produced a
card with " warrant'' printed upon it, and No. 15,467.

men when the charge was made. Tho inspector said "
know nothing about it—l was ill ;" but instructions
were sent to the defendants to come away.
Mr. GREENWOOD—I don't think that they aro liable
here. We will assume that they had a right to be there.
Did they commit any excess or violence ? Mr. Davies—
Yes ; they pushed by the servant.
Mr. GREENWOOD.—WllO is making this charge ? Mr.
Davies—Mrs. Long.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Then she ought to be here. How
can I proceod with a charge without a prosecutor ? Mr.
Davies—l can prone the case.
Mr. GREENwoop—How, when you were not there ?
Mr. Davies then said that Mr. Holmes and his servant
could give evidence.

Mr.—GßEENwoon----Tha constables were not liable, nA
they acted unciar the authority and orders of their supe-
riors. lie could not decide on the affair without the at-
tendance of Mrs. Long. It was necessary for any private
party to prove the felony before they entered, a house to
make a capture, but a constable was warranted to break
in without a warrant.

Mr. Holmes, the lamllord, was called. Saw four men
in du* passage. Heard an altercation up stairs, and ho
proceeded to the drawing-room, when Mrs. Long placed
herself under his protection. Did not see the defendants
push by the servant. They remained in the room an
hour and a half.

Mr. GREENwoon—Then they did not take her into
custody? Witness—No; could not say why they re-
mained until Mr. Pattison arri►ed.
The servant was called. She could not identify the
defendants. The policemen did not push by her or act
with any rudeness towards her.

Mr. Davies—l can prove that these men were there.
I saw them.

Mr. GREBSWOOD--..-I Shall not proceed farther with
the ease. I find them Not Guilty.
They were then discharged.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
The contract for the entrenchment and masonry of
the Fort of Charenton, to be executed during the pre-
sent and two following years, has just been awarded to
M. Garnier Larget, of the Qual I.lling, at 21. 10c. per
cent. below the price fixed by the Minister of War.
We learn from Limoges that the whole of that part
of the country is covered with snow. The southern
mails for that town, and particularly those from Niamea
and Montpellier, were, on the 3d and 4th inst., nearly
15 hours behind time, on account of the slippery state
of the roads and the prevalence of dense fogs.
According to a Toulon letter, in the Commerce, the
cold there has been so intense that several convicts were
killed by it while at work.

During the last year 292,000 passengers were con-
veyed by the railroad between Amsterdam and Haar-
lem. The total receipts, including luggage and met'
chandize, were 136,698 florins or 336,745 f.
A. grocer of the Rue St. Avoye, named Marteau►
was yesterday fined 3,000 f. by the Correctional Tribu-
nal for having left open in his shop, in the keeping of
his shop-boy, and not under lock and key, a certain
quantity of Prussian blue, and for selling some of it
without entering in his books the name of the buyer.
Petit and Dufour, who, in execution of the sentence
of the Court of Peers, bad been sent to Mont
St. Michel, have been brought back to Paris in
consequence of the late revelations of Quenisset, Co-
lombier, and Just Brazier. They arrived at the Pre-
fecture of Police on Monday night, and will be ex-
amined when two other of the convicts who have beef)
sent for are come.

A garde champetre of St. Maur, near Paris, went
out two mornings ago with a friend of the same corn•
mune to shoot thrushes, when by some unfortunate ac-
cident the trigger of the garde's gun was touched, and
the whole charge was lodged in one mass in the loins of
his companion, who lingered in great agony for foot
hours, and then expired. The garde was so overcome
with grief that he has nearly lost his reason.
The wife of Boucheron was definitively brought to
trial yesterday for robbing the woman Livet, with whom
she lodged. The latter, who had been at length found,
appeared in the Court and proved the facts, stating that
the prisoner had returned to her a few days after the
theft, and acknowledged it, but pleaded her povertl;
The prisoner maintained that the things were pawned
with the consent of Livet, but the Court, discrediting
her statement, condemned her to eight months' impri-
sonment.

A person at Huez, in the here, being at the point ni
death, the Cure was called in to administer extreme?
unction. An assemblage of about 100 people attended
to witness the solemnity in the chamber of the dying
man, which was on the Ist floor, and several more re'
mained in a room below. From the weight upon it the
floor of the sick chamber gave way, and fell with all la
it to the ground. About 20 persons were severely in"
jured, of whom one died instantly, and eight are in int'
minent danger. The Care had only slight coptusioal.
and the dying man escaped unhurt.
