LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING,
.FEBRUARY 16; 1827.

We are sorry to learn that the recovery of Mr.
CANNING advances but slowly. We are informed
that Dr. HOLLAND found yesterday that the pain
under which the Right Hon. Gentleman had suffered
on Wednesday had somewhat abated,' and that on the
whole, he was better than could be anticipated, though
very weak.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and
the Etoile dated Wednesday morning. They contain
no other foreign intelligence than accounts from Con-
stantinople to the 11th ult., which will be found
amongst our extracts,,but do not possess any striking
feature.

The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday cvere of_a most turbulent character, and un-
less the feeling then displayed does not expend itself
in mere effervescence, the stability of M. VILLELE'S
administration may be shaken.
It appears that the Chamber of Peers had intro-
duced some very important alterations into the project
of law respecting the Jury system during its passage
through the Upper House. These modifications in
theTroposed law are said to be such as to render it a
constitutional and useful measure ; but the Ministry,
mortified at not being able to carry the project as ori-
ginallyproposed by them, in the Upper Chamber, had
recourse to an expedient which the Deputies denounced
as an insult to the Peers, and a violation of the Char-
ter. Instead of introducing to the Chamber of Depu-
ties the prOjeet as amended -by the Peers (the amend--
inents being previously submitted to the K!No), the.
original project was presented.. by the Keeper of the
Seals, with the amendments in separate and distinct
forms. The Chamber of Deputies immediately felt
this proceeding of not incorporating the decisions
of the Peers in the Bill as an insult to the Upper
House, and a most violent agitation followed, in which
the Keeper of the Seals was assailed from all sides of
the House, and was not supported by a single Mem-
ber, the -other Ministers having left the House. The
confusion terminated only by a vote that the project,
and the amendments, should be referred to.the consi-
deration of the Bureau. It appears to us, as far as we
can judge from the information before us, that the
proceeding which gave rise to this stormy debate was a
most unwise and unnecessary departure from prece-
dent on the part of the
.Ministers, if not an actual vio-
lation of the Charter. The most -serious consequences
may arise from so strong a proof of the utter disregard
of the Ministry to the established forms of the two
Chambers.

Amonabst our extracts will be likewise found A letter
from the Duke of B
himself and the DukeAosfsA•r' denying,
abandonedJournalson behalf of
lithec or

their ever having, in pub-
lic use of their titles. The
national pride of Frenchmen ha
been injured by the
and
offensive step taken by the Austrians Ambassador,
it is difficult to . say what will be result of it.
Austria ought to have brought forward the question
sooner, and in a fair and candid manner, instead of by
an act which may justly he considered aninsult on
the French honour.
The Funds are again rather lower.

Our Readers will perceive by our Parliamentary
Report that his MAJESTY has recommended to both
Houses that a further provision should be made for
the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, corresponding
to the situation in which they stand, in consequence
of the death of the Duke of YoRK. This measure
has been recommended by the KING with the most
gracious feeling of propriety and affection, and will, no
doubt, meet with the unanimous sanction of the Legis-
lature.

The situation in which the Duke of CLARENCE
now stands in reference to the Crown requires that his
Royal Highness should maintain an establishment
suited to the dignity of the Heir Presumptive to the
Throne of these Realms, for which his present allow-
ance is altogether inadequate. His Royal Highness
has hitherto lived as a private Nobleman, and he has
had the merit of not allowing his expenditure to ex-
ceed the very moderate allowances granted to him-
self and his amiable consort.
It will be remembered also that his Royal High-
ness; in consequence of his naval rank, has not en-
joyed any
of those advantages which he might have
had, if he had belonged to the military service ; his

half-pay of 3/. 3s. per diem, as Admiral of the Fleet,
being the sole addition which he receives to his Parlia-
mentary provision. What is to,be the amount of the
proposed addition to his Royal Highness's income, we
have not yet heard : but we trust it will be sufficient
to enable him to maintain his altered situation with
the splendour which ought to attach to it.

An account has been printed by order of the House
of Commons, of the net public income of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the year
ending Jan. 5, 1827, and of the actual issues or pay-
ments within the same period, exclusive of the sums
applicable to the redemption of Funded Debt, or for
paying off Unfunded Debt. We have not room for
this account to day, but shall publish it to-morrow.
In the mean time we may state the general result.

The income of the Country, including
Repayments of Advances, was X54,894,989 10s. 3d.
The expenditure, including Advances,
was X53,885,541 2s. 2id.

Surplus of income over expenditure
thereout £1,009,448 Ss. Old.

As, however, the sum of_ 5,621,2311. 16s. 2d.,
which was applied in the year to the redemption of
Funded Debt is not included in the above amount of
expenditure, the income was not sufficient to meet the
expenditure and the Sinking Fund, by 4,611,783/.
Bs. 2d., which deficiency appears to have been met by
the contributions towards funding 8,000,0001. Exche-
quer Bills, viz. 4,500,000/. It is also to be observed,
that of the income abont 2,000,000/. arose from the
purchase by the Bank of the half-pay annuities, and
consequently the real deficiency of mcome, to meet
the expenditure, and to maintain the Sinking Fund at
its present amount, was upwards of 6,500,000/. ; or, in
other words, if the whole Sinking Fund had been done
away with, the income, exclusive of the sum borrowed
by the Bank, would have been less than the expendi-
ture, by about 1,000,000/.

The Army Estimates for the present year have been
printed. They amount to the sum of 6,601,918/.
10s. 11d., being within a few pounds the same as
last year.

We received, this morning, the Austrian Obserber,
of the 4th instant, and Frankfort Papers, of the 9th,
but they contain no news worth extracting.

Brussels Papers of the 14th instant have also been
received, from whiCh we make the following extract,
bearing upon the case of MAUBREUIL and M. de
TAiLEYRANr)

• • BRUIISNLS, FEB. 13.
The Marquis de Chabannes, who is in prison here, and
whose misfortunes al e well known, has just - published some
account of M. Maubreuil, who, he says, has made him
acquainted with all the particulars of the Mission which he so
much regrets having accepted. M. de Chabannes, has no doubt
whatever that the object of this mission was the assassination
of Napoleon and his son, but he solemnly declares that an august
personage had no knowledge-of this infamous plot.
I he author reports that M. de Maubrenil told him he bad been
commissioned by N. de Talleyrand to execute this execrable plan;
and Maubreuil says that he delivered to M. de Vitrolles the dia-
monds, &c. taken from the Queen of Westphalia ; but M. de
Chabannesthinks them both to be incapable of so odious a concep-
tion, which he ascribes to a secret committee of false devotees.

A singular circumstance took place yesterday at
the Old Bailey ; one of the Middlesex Jurors begged
to decline serving as Juryman, on the plea that he
could not return a verdict, the tendency of which
would be to inflict the penalty of death. We
know nothing about the individual, or whether
his objection arose from conscientious scruples or the
love of singularity, •but we certainly think that there
was considerable flippancy in Mr. Seijeant ARABfres
style of remarking. on it. Instead of pointing but to
the man the mistake under which he laboured,
Mr. Serjeant AR ABIN remarked—" Perhaps, Gentle-
men, it will be as well not to have so conscientious a
Juror among you." To ridicule conscientious scruples,
however mistaken, is an unbecoming occupation, par-
ticularly from the Justice Seat.
It seems that the example was infectious, and that
another juryman felt similar scruples, upon which
they were told that their services would be dispensed
with, but that their attendance (we think very pro-
perly) would still be required.

We were not a little startled this morning at read-
ing in the New Times that France had appropriated
to the service of her marine, in the present year, " no
less. a sum than eight millions sterling nominally, but
estimated, according to the value of money in France,
at little short of 'twelve millions in reality." This in-
telligence really alarmed us, considering that our
•Government had applied to Parliament for but
little more than six millions for our naval ser-
vices, and we were beginning to expect that a Mes-
sage would be delivered to the House of Commons
this evening, recommending -that a vote of credit for
an additional six millions at least, should be granted
for this branch of the public expenditure. Knowing,
however, that the New Times is not always correct in
its calculations, we summoned resolution to look to
the French Papers of Sunday last, which contained
the Budget, when, to the great relief of our apprehen-
sions, we found that the whole sum appropriated to the
Marine, including the recent addition, is 60,000,000 f.,
which, according to Cocker, is barely equal to two
millions and a-half !

We can only suppose from this and other inaccura-
cies in Financial statements, which the New Times
has recently
fallen into, that Mr. HUME has been en-
gaged to write its articles upon the subject of Finance.
We would, however, recommend, that those articles
should be sent to the Parish National School, to be
checked before they are published in future.

The Lord Mayor held a Court of Common Conn-
at Guildhall, yesterday, for the general dispatch of public
business. Mr. John Bleaden, who Was recently elected a Com-
mon Councilman for the Ward of Coleman-street, attended, and
took the oath of office. The Commission of Sewers, "Lamps, and
Pavements, was sealed with the City seal. John T. Thorp, Esq.
and Alderman, was elected Governor, and Jacob G. Cope, Esq.
Deputy Governor, of the Irish Society, for the year ensuing, as
were likewise the Assistants. The Lord Mayor reported, that a
vacancy had occurred in the situation of Marshal's-man, by the
death of Anthony Harrison, and it was referred tq the Committee
for General Purposes to inquire into the character and qualifica-
tions of the candidates, and to report. The Court unanimously
agreed to a resolution restricting the proceeding with any extraor-
dinary work whereby the City's funds might be affected, without
the expence thereof having been submitted to the Finance Com-
mittee for them to consider the means of carrying the same into
effect.. The Court proceeded to consider the Report of the Navi-
gation Committee, on the oppositions to the Hants and Berks Ca-
nal Bill, in Parliament, and for payment of the expences incurred
in those oppositions, and, after discussion, it was referred to the
Committee to direct the payment thereof.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The French Funds having come lower, in addition to a larger
supply of Money Stock, has had the effect of depressing the price
of the British Funds slightly this morning. Consols opened
at 82i 4, were steady at that price for some time, but afterwards
receded to 821.4, both for money and account, and 824 4 for
April, at which they continue ; some considerable operations have
taken place, and the uncertainty occasioned by the continued ill-
ness of Mr. Canning has had some effect in causing this decline ;
India Bonds are quoted at 53 5 ; and Exchequer Bills, 33 5 pm.
In the Foreign Funds the chief attraction of the speculators has
been to Spanish Bonds, which rose full one per cent. yesterday,
and have come up this morning to 14 -I, they are now rather
worse, being 131 ; their improvement is said to arise from an ex-
pectation of a more liberal system of Government being in agi-
tation, as well as the continuance of the report of a person having
arrived in this country with Such information ou the subject WI may
lead to an expectation that the King of Spain has, at length, be-
come sensible of the necessity of making an important alteration,
and substituting a more mild and reasonable administration in that
unhappy country. Upon this subject we confess considerable
doubts may reasonably be entertained ; the experience of the past
gives little hope of the future, and nothing but absolute alarm for
his own safety, and that of the Priesthood, will induce a more
liberal policy. Mexican Bonds, are 684 4 ; Colombian, 38} 9 ;
Greek, 16 3 ; and Russian, 894 90. Shares remain without
business at lower prices; Real del Monte, 50 60 pm; Colombian,
14 15 per Share; Anglo Mexican, 35 24 dis. ; and Brazilian,

is transacting; 4 per Cents. 1826, 984

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEALS

The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of Tnomo:ln, and Lord
CARBERY, were in attendance to-day.

THOMAS WALKER AND OTHERS, APPELLANTS-THE WARDEN
AND FELLOWS OF THE COLLEGE OF CHRIST CHURCII, IN MAN-

CHESTER, RESPONDENTS.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Lord Chancellor, and
the only question to be decided by their Lordships is, whether
the members of a corporate body, who had tiled a bill in their in-
dividual capacity, were competent, in case the suit should abate,
to file a bill of revivor, in their character of a corporation only;
without setting forth who the members of the corporation were.
The original bill in this cause had been filed for-the purpose of
establishing a claim to certain tithes. During the sIOW progress
of the suit through the Court of Chancery, several of the parties,
plaintiffs as well as defendants, .had died. The suit necessarily
abated, and -a bill of revivor was filed by the present Respondents;
To this bill the appellants demurred, on the grounds that the
plaintiffs in the bill of revivor, were not the same as those in the
original bill.
The Lord Chaneellor having overruled the demurrer, the de-
fendant appealed to the House of Lords against that decision of
his Lordship.
Messrs. HART and DUCKWORTH were heard in support of the
appeal, and Mr. PARiZER against it.
The judgment of their Lordships is to be given in a few days.
_ _

TRINIBLISTON V. LOYD was postponed until the arrival of some
necessary papers from Ireland.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
DAVIDSON V. SEYMOUR.

This was an action brought to recover from the defendant, who
is sheriff of the county of BreCon, the sum of 1061., for suffering
a person named Griffith to escape out of the gaol of Brecknock-
shire, where be had been imprisoned at the suit of the plaintiff fur
a debt to the above amount. It appeared that Griffith had been
committed during the shrievalty of the defendant's predecessor, and
on the 20th of February, 1826, he contrived by a writ of habeas
corpus to come to London, where through the indulgence of the
gaoler, he was permitted to be at large until the 18th of March,
at which period he returned to Brecon gaol again; to prove the
liabilitytkof the defendant, Mr. Scarlett put in the Gazette of
January, 1826 f wherein his appointment as Shei4of Brecon was
published.
• The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that this was not sufficient
evidence of Griffith having been in the custody of the defendant.
Prisoners are delivered over from one sheriff to another by in-
denture, and unless it could he proved that this ceremony had
taken place between the defendant and his predeeessOr previously
to the escape, his liability could not be established. The plaintiff
having failed to prove this, he was nonsuited.
