INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY).

Fraser Bell, who came up to be heard
on his petition on the 20th of last month, and whose
ease the Court took time to cons►der, was again
brought up this morning.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN stated to the insolvent
that the Court, after fully considering his case, de-
cided that he should be entitled to the benefit of the
Act, when he should hare been detained in custody
for the space of eight months after filing his peti-
tion, at the suit of Messrs. Cohen and Mills his op-
posing creditors.
William Lee, an old sailor, who had been opposed
by Mr. Heath on a former day on an objection to his
balance sheet, and who had been sent back to amend
it again, came up for his discharge, but was again
opposed by Mr. Heath, who contended that the
balance sheet was in fact the same as it had been
originally.
The COURT ordered the balance sheet to be
amended with six days' notice. The Court adjourns
to-morrow, and will not sit again till the 28th of
September. The Insolvent will not therefore be
able to file his balance sheet till after a further con-
finement of five weeks.

CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

SUGAR.-The arrivals of Plantation Sugars continue
large, and although the delivery from the West India
Docks last week exceeded 3,500 casks, the stock was
yesterday 46,218 hhds. and 3,291 trcs. The demand for
Sugars is much better, and prices are more firm, but this
morning the transactions have ❑ot been important either
in British plantation, foreign, or refined Sugars.
Rust.-The demand fur exportation is extensive, and
nearly 700 puncheons were delivered last week from the
foreigns markets. For home consumption 289 puns.
were taken out of the Docks. The stock is at 23,830 puns.
and 1,86:3 hhds. The prices are very firm, but not higher
than last quoted.
In COFFEE the transactions this morning are limited,
and but little appearance of business. Ordinary Berbicc
and Demerara from 325. to 38s. ; fine Jamaica, 61s. to
6Gs. ; ordinary, 30s. to 345. per cwt.

INDIGO.—The East India Company have issued their
declaration for the October sale, which is to commence on
the 14th of that month. About 1,000 chests are an-
nounced. The quantity to be offered is expected to exceed
5,000 chests. The market continues steady at the former
prices.
. . . . _

SPICES.—A great deal of business is doing in Pepper,
particularly in Black, at an advance of hd. per lb. Within
the last week or ten days, several thousands of bags have
changed hands. White Pepper may be quoted full Id.
per lb. dearer than it fetched a short time since. Other
Spices are looking firm.
Corrox.—Surats may be quoted from 3A-d. to 3P.,
but the market is flat : a few orders have lately been
executed for France.

Hors.-This morning's accounts from Kent are not so
favourable, and the duty has receded to 42,0001.
flxm r AND FLax.—The holders continue to ask high
prices, owing to the warlike rumours. Hemp is at 431.,
and Flax at 351. per cwt.
TALLOW is at 38s. 3d. per cwt. Delivered lan week,
968 casks; stock, 2,800 casks. The accounts from St.
Petersburgh quote the Exchange on the Ist inst. at
10-16, and Tallow at 102 rubles; Hemp was at 110
rubles per pond.
The commercial advices received this morning from
Madras state, that the demand for British manufactured
goods had rather improved, but that prices continued so
low, owing to the very large stocks in hand, as harety to
cover the invoice value of the goods. Woollens and Cot-
tons were finding their way gradually throughout the
whole of India.
London, England, 1829-02-16

TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of the past week were considerable of most
kinds of Corn, and a good quantity of Flour was also re-
ported. This morning the fresh supplies coastwise are
scanty. The thin attendance of country buyers causes the
market to remain very dull, and most descriptions of
Wheat may he reported 2s. to Ss. per quarter lower than
on this day se'nnight. Barley remains extremely heavy
in disposal, and may be again reported Is. to 2s. per quar-
ter cheaper. Beans are neatly unsaleable, even though of-
fered 2s. per quarter below last Monday's terms. Oats
continue plentiful, and the demand slack ; the quotations
may he stated Is. to 2s. per quarter less than last Monday.
The Flour trade remains equally dull as prior to the re-
duction in price.

CORONER'S INQEUST.

On Saturday evening, at seven o'clock, an inquisition
wee taken before Thomas Higgs, Esq. Coroner, at the
Lion, Parliament-street, Westminster, touching the
'death of Richard Perry, aged 45, groom to Robert Grant,
EN: M.P.
,Mr. Thomas Bradfield, Ne. 1, Derby-street, West..
'limiter, and Air. George Mitchell, Parliament-street, de-
Posed to the dejected state of his mind.
Robert Grant, Esq. M.P., deposed—The deceased was
soy groom, an excellent servant, and of most unimpeach-
able conduct. He was a remarkably grave man. When
he came fer orders on Thursday morning last, he seemed
more grave than usual, and said, " I am afraid I have
'lone tome things wrong, Sir, find I am very sorry fir it."
I asked him kindly what he alluded to. He said, that
the first, was, that he bad ordered a livery without my
Vreaticio, which he then had on ; and secondly, that he
ad.not accounted for about 20s. worth of hay, corn, and
6tiraW, which had been taken back by the person that sup-
P'ieti them, when I lately removed my horses from the
"tables of. my brother, Air. Charles Grant, to the
White Horse Livery-stables, in King-street, Westminster.
I said that; I was glad to hear it from himself, that in
etrietUees the sum ought to have been accounted for, but
that it was a trifle which we might settle about at any
,Htle• Indeed, I should not now mention the matter to the
vary, but to chew the state- of his mind, which 1 per-
Zed was not relieved by the kind, way in which I spoke
o h.ho. .Thisrappears also from his feeling as to his or-
"ier,mg.the livery, which was really nothing wrong. I
417aYa-p.laced the utmost reliance on him, and never found .
"'M deficient in integrity. I had a thirteen years' charac-
t? with him from his last place. I had a great respect
°l' him, and I believe that he was firmly attached to me.
'the deceased had been a prudent careful man, having saved
to,ort or 3001. during his servitude.
RiPhatd Kitching, livery-stable-keeper, White Horse,
Xing-street, deposed—I have' observed symptoms of de-
rangement about the deceased for the last week or ten days.
hips memory seemed quite impaired, and I have often heard
talking to himself incoherently while in the stable
*here his master's horse stood at livery.
At.-the suggestion of Mr. Grant, the property found
"13°4 him was delivered over by the constable to Mr. George
,14011, who is commissioned to go down to York for
4'le 2001. there, in order that the whole may be restored
_,t° the relatives of deceased, when they come forward to
:4ailla it. An uncle of the deceased is supposed to reside
Shoreditch; but the unfortunate man himself was a na-
tive of York.
The CORONER made a minute to the above effect in the
d almaitions, after which a verdict of " Insanity" was re-
twled.

LEE/C.—The trade of this town is suffering
under the greatest depression, and the want of employment
is severely felt by the labouring. classes. Several of the
mills are working only two or three days a week, and that
ak very reduced prices. —Macclesfield Courier.
CONGLETON.--The distress under which the
labouring classes in this town are suffering, has been con-
siderably aggravated by the failure of an extensive silk
throwster and manufacturer, which has deprived a gteat
number of individuals of employment. —.MuccleVieid

CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

(Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Friday.)

Pounds, Sixteen Shillings and l';:npence !
A more splendid meeting than that of yesterday was
never assembled within the walls of the Assoviation. So
early t one o'clock, the rt.,tn l•eg•tn to fill ; the gallery was
crow.lcd ; and at the hour of meeting the room and the
p,wsage ieatl;o::,, to it were densely thronged, that it was
iii '-Mt impossible to obtain admission. In the private box
of Fr. Secretary Dwyer, we observed an artist, who had
run., i'aoin London for the purpose, occupied in taking a
skelcit of the interesting- and diversified scene before him.
At three o'c!ock, Sir THOMAS EsmoNnx, Bart., was

CARLISLE ELECTION.-RIOTING.

CARLISLE, SATUADAY EVENING, HALF-PAST FIVE.

I write in great .haste to save the post.—Polling com-
ntnced at nine o'clock this morning,,and continued pretty
fitlietly, • but with great briskness till four o'clock. The
Crirnsoni were a-head till noon, when the Blues rallied
strongly, and took the lead. At four o'clock the Mayor
announced' the state of the poll—
For
.Henry Aglionby, Esq 233
For Sir Wm. Scott 230

..Majority for Mr. Aglionby 3
This 'was too much for the patience of the Crimsons
(Sir Wm, Scott's party) to bear; and accordingly the
bludgeon-men, of whom; they had hired about 300, at ss.
at-ilay, commenced an attack upon the Blue party, tore
down ems of the flags, broke the pole to pieces, and began
skower stones upon their opponents. Quietness was for
'short time restored, and Mr. Aglionby stepped forward
to congratulate his friends on the state of the poll. He
said be was heartily glad that they had preserved the peace,
and let the ignominy of the riot fall upon their opponents.
be was proceeding in his address, when a villain in the
crowd threw a stone at him, which fortunately missed its
aim. Mr. Aglionby smiled, and proceeded in his address.
ale had not spoken more than another sentence, however,
before another stone was flung at him, and he'was com-
pelled to retire. The confusion in the street was now
dreadful; the Crimson party were many of them armed
with large bludgeons; they tore up the pavement from the
streets, -and large stones were flung at the Blues, who
every where retreated, stopping once or twice to return a
volley. The Mayor stepped to the front of the hustings,
and. begged that some of the rioters might be taken into
custody. This had no effect. Mr. Aglionby said that
"Pon many former occasions, when the Blues had not
done half so much as the Crimsons were doing, the
military had been called in. He wished to have peace
officers sworn. The Crimson bludgeon-men, a most
forMidable-looking gang of ruffian., now drew up in a sort
of line, and by every menace and gesticulation endeavoured
to provoke the Blues to attack. This having failed, they
again- tore up the pavement, and flung the stones after their
opponents. Some windows were broken. Farther to ex-
"ta the party to ferry, a crimson flag and the band were
brought from the tally-room, and paraded in triumph.
Tilt Rev. -Mr. Benson and Mr. John Blanire severally
protested against the election in the present dreadful state
things. The Mayor advised the candidates to retire,
and then he was sure all would be quiet. After a good
!leal of argument amongst the gentlemen on the hustings,
In the course of which Sir W. Scott protested that be
bite not aware of bludgeon-men having been hired by his
l!arty, the Mayor's suggestion was agreed to. Sir Wil-•
]main retired, escorted by a large party of the hired ruffians
and rioters ; and Mr. Aglionby proceeded, in company
with Mr. Lawson, Mr. Backhouse, and several other
gentlemen to the coffee-house. Oa arriving there he ad-
dressed the crowd, begging them to maintain the peace.
All is quiet when I close my letter.
London, England, 1829-02-16

KING'S TIIEATRE.

Political -economists appear to fancy that the age of mi-
racles has found in; parallel in the year one thousand eight
hundred and twenty-nine ! To step from greater things to,
]err —musical economists (if we may be allowed the ex,-
preesion) may now indulge in similar conjecture; for last
Saturday's representation of the " Donna del Logo" exhi-
bited the unusual phenomena of nearly three of its essen-•
tinl characters being either " cut out," or so much muti-
lated by said " cutting," as to render their identity some-
what equivocal !
Motmcatra, CASTELLI, and " the last not least)"
Signor D'AncEtaa, forwarded physicians' eertificatee, de.
daring that they were, each and all, placed " hors de
combat" by illness. This, too, at so lets a period on the,
actual day of performance as three o'clock ! A sadden
and astounding dilemma, rendered still more so in 'manse-
quence of certain individuals not having yet made their
debut, and who could scarcely (in common justice to their
fame or the manager's interests) be expected to step for-
ward on the emergercy. The question to decide Was,
therefore, a ehoite of the evils; and the management, it
appeareth, decided upon not altogether disappointing the
subscribers, &c. who had expressed great anxiety to wit-
ness the splendid efforts of PISA RONI and Signor Darr-
ziti.ar. In this awkward crisis, the Directors of the Royal
Academy of Music was suggested as presenting a possible
resource, and Miss BELLCZIAMBERS, a pupil of that na-
tional school of music, undertook, at about three hours!'
notice, to set her foot for the first time upon any stage, and.
of course, that of the Italian Opera House, to sing as much:
of the character of Ellen Douglas's music as she chancedto.
know, as well as to acquire so much more of it as time and
circumstances in their brevity would permit. To say,thevefore,
that Miss BELLCIIAMBERS get through tolerably so meta
as was allotted, under all the circumstances, is no small
praise ; but she did more, the quartette she was concerned
in with PISARONI, DONZELLI, and CURZON', was en-
cored. We trust and hope, however, that we shall never-
see this promising young vocalist so unpleasantly situated
again; hut th4t, if she be really ambitious of operatic-
fame, she will be permitted a far trial. • •
PISA ROM, instead of being dismayed or affected by the,
singular predicament these unavoidable accidents had
created for her, exerted knell with even greater success
than upon any previous occasion since her debut, especially.
in her arias, one of which (the second) was encored.
DONZELLI has got rid of the cold which injured his.
efforts upon the Tuesday night previous, and was exceed-,
ingly energetic in the first aria.
The new Dirertisement was short but splendid,- ancr
displayed some good costume, scenery, and most tuheirable •
dancing. We only want the piano in the orchestra sn‘ctoz,
attended to, and then a proper and effective contrast in the'
forte would be of certain attainment. The Italiuno
Algiere, we perceive, is announced for Tuesday, when a
Signor GALLI makes his debut.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

This day's supply of Beasts was moderately good, of
other fat stock rather limited—Mutton went off with some
degree of briskness at an advance of 2d. per stone ; with
Beef, Veal, and Pork, the trade was very dull at barely
Friday's prices.
London, England, 1829-08-20

HULL MARKET.-Aug. 18.

The weather has been exceedingly unsettled since our
last. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, an immense
quantity of rain fell, and up to the present the weather
still continues very unfavourable, with frequent heavy
showers : the hat vest operations have, consequently, been
completely checked, which, otherwise, would have been
general. The heavy crops of Wheat are all beat down,
and the report from the farmers this morning states that
considerable injury has been done, and should the weather
not shortly take up, the result must be very serious. Not-
withstanding this, we have to-day had only a slender at-
tendance of buyers, and although considerably higher
prices were demanded, yet on the trilling business done,
an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter was reluctantly sub-
mitted to, on the best runs of both English and foreign ;
secondary qualities may be noted Is. to 2s. dearer. There
has been some few transactions in Wheats under lock, a
parcel of white Silesian, made 565. per quarter; for Ham-
burg, 50s. to 545. per quarter ; Archangel, 345. to 355.
per ,quarter ; Riga and Petersburgh, 3Ss. to 40s. per quar-
ter are demanded. We do not notice any alteration in the
value of Oats, Beans, or Barley. Rapeseed is held at
higher prices, but little offering. Linseed fully supports
late prices.

MATLOCK.

! There are here two petrifying wells, where small
stOwerices, deposited for {:lie or two years, become
len deeed or inerit-ted, or petrified, as they call it.
I sn,,t imp,,rtarir c-xperir,ent !nitric for some time
has 1) r-n at: on igS, which,
after a sojourn of two Years in the well, came out a
dignified specimen of the powers of these waters.
The curls were all pre:,,erved in their proper places,
and the crown retained its legitimate shape. The
wig was for some time exhibited in the shop of the
owner of the well, but it has lately been removed,
much to that ingenious person's prejudice. It is
amusing to hear him dilate with the pride of an
artist on the success of this master-stroke, arid I am
sure the poor man would ilo content if he saw the
petrified wig once placed in its forttrer station, on
the brows of the Learned Judge. A Judge with a
wig of stone is a reform in the administration ofjus-
tiee not eOnt&Erplated by Mr. Peel.
There are several :Thorn where the Derbyshire
black marble, and the Fluor spar, worhied up into
vases, pillars, and ornaments, are sold. The prices
are enormous, and there seems to be no limit to the
avarice or the imposition of the dealers in these
zirtide. They have the conscience to ask two,
three, and five guineas lot a pair of small black
vases, and from ten shillings to thitty shillings for
liitle slabs of marble, with sketches of scenery
worked in. They have, however, the merit of not
asking a second price. It is to this obstinacy in
error, I suppose, that the slow progress of improve-
ment at Matlock is to he attributed. Good effects,

however, arise from this peculiar spirit, and Matlock
retains that secluded and romantic charattet which
always constituted its great charm; and which it is
likely to preserve, unless all the Learned Judges
follow the example of Baron Vaughan, and send

EGINA, JULY 11.—The Greek National Assembly
is going to meet on the 12th, at Argos. The
greater part of the Deputies is already arrived there.
The President of Greece, and all the ItTembers of
the Government, are likewise there. Count Capo
d'lstria has just been here for money, which he sends
to the army in Rumelia. Matters of the highest
importance are going to be discussed at Argos. The
great interests of Greece will be taken into consi-
deration, and its fate will be decided. The Greeks,
it is said, will not accept the foreign Sovereign
whom it is intended to impose upon them; and it is
asserted that Count Capo d'lstria will be elected
President for life.

Admiral Rosamel, after a cruise in the Levant
with the Trident, the Breslau), and several frigates
and brigs, has returned to the harbour of Smyrna,
which is crowded with vessels of different nations.
Letters from Madrid announce as nearly certain
that the intention of the Spanish Government with
respect to Mexico is to introduce a law, which
Iturbide proposed in 1821, by which one of the
Princes of the Royal Family of Spain was to be
placed on the throne.

THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1829.

Despatches were received at the Foreign Office

this morning from Mr. MATTHEWS, the British
Consul at Lisbon, dated the 6th inst. ; from Lord
STUART DE ROTHSAY, our Ambassador at
Paris ; and from Sir CHARLES BAGOT at
Brussels.

At the Colonial Office despatches were this

morning received from the Earl of BELAtoRE
Governor-General of Jamaica, and also fron
Bermuda and Trinidad.

By the corn averages, published this day, the
duty on foreign wheat remains at 20s. Bd. ; that

Letters from Lisbon, of the Bth inst., state
that reports prevailed there of some serious dis-

MANCHESTER POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

NEW BAILEY, Auc. 8.
Mary Ann Welling, the woman who was remanded
on Thursday, on the infamous charge of seduction,
was again put into the dock, and the girl underwent
an examination by Mr. Foster, and Mr. Stanfield,
Who had, since the last hearing, been retained on
the part of the prisoner. Nothing additional to what
Was before stated was elicited; but Mr. Foster
made particular inquiries as to her age. Both she
and her sister said that she was above sixteen years
of age. Mr. Foster said that the age of the girl
was very material in the case; he had attentively
considered it ever, and had once thought that the
Prisoner might have been indicted for conspiracy;
he now thought differently, but he had no doubt
her offence was a misdemeanour at common law,
and he should require her to enter into sureties to
answer that charge at the Sessions. Mr. Stanfield
observed, that he was not there to justify the con-
duct of his client; base as it was, he could not do
that ; but it was his duty to see that she was pro-
tected as far as the law permitted. He begged
Mr. Foster to consider the evidence of the girl;
the transaction, on her own showing, was al
most incredible. In the first place, it was scarcely
to be believed that any person could be found
capable of such baseness ; and in the second place,
it was scarcely to be credited that, supposing the girl
to have been treated as she alleged, she should not
have made the slightest mention of the circumstance
until the arrival of her friends. Mr. Foster replied,
that he had no doubt upon his mind as to the truth
of the girl's story; and, addressing the woman, said
that she had been guilty of a most shameful and dis-
graceful offence; and one for which she might rely
upon it she would have to answer. But he was
afraid it was of no use talking to such a woman as
she was. The prisoner was about to make some
observations, when Mr. Stanfield advised her to be
quiet; and Mr. Foster ordered her to enter into
sureties, herself in 404 and two sureties in 20/.
each, to answer`a charge of misdemeanour at the
sessions; and to give Mr. Lavender 24 hours' notice
of her bail, that he might have an opportunity of in-
quiring into their respectability.--She was then re-
moved below. The "gentleman" to whom this
Poor girl was so basely sacrificed, is, we believe, tole-
rably well known, and repeated efforts were made
to get a sight of him, in order that the girl might
identify him; but he had received a hint from some
quarter or other, and carefully kept cut of the way.
Some emissary, however, most probably sent by
biro, succeeded in finding the girl and her friends on
Saturday evening; and used such cogent reasons
(amongst which, we believe, a handful of sovereigns)
to induce them to depart, that they went off with-
communicating with the police on the subject.-

HEAD POLICE OFFICE, Aua. 17.

A Turkish merchant, who calls himself Mus-
tapha, was brought to the above office this morning
by Mr. Francis Tardy, a highly-respectable gentle-
man, who stated that, in passing throngh Graf-
ton-street, he observed a large crowd of people
around the Oriental stranger, several of whom
were insulting him, and some few were pro-
ceeding to acts of violence, when he inter-
posed, and brought him for protection to the
Magistrates. Mustapha, who was attired com-
pletely a la novae, stated he was a merchant, and
had brought a quantity of goods from Constantinople
to London to sell; but, owing to the low state of
the market in the latter, he had brought his stock
to Dublin in the hope of meeting a better demand.
He has a Greek servant habited ala Grecquc. You
will observe, by our Morning Papers of this day,
that an insane shoemaker from Dundalk, dressed
with red shoes, red cap, &c. interrupted Doctor
Murray, the Roman Catholic Bishop, in the per-
formance of High Mass last Saturday, at Marl-
borough-street Chapel, and was subsequently libe-
rated on bail. The mob, on perceiving Mustapha,
cried out he was the Orange cobbler from Dundalk,
who had attacked their Bishop in the disguise of a
Turk, and under that impression would have inflicted
summary puishment on him but for the interference
of Mr. Tardy. Mr. Graves, the Magistrate, told
Mustapha, who speaks French tolerably well, that
an officer should attend him until the novelty of his
foreign costume had worn away, for which the
frightened Mahometan returned thanks by a grand
salaam.

Since the middle of last week the weather
has been showery and inclement. On Sunday morning
there was a frost, which, on low situations, blackened

the potatoe sterns— The heavy crops are generally laid.

A number of fields of barley and light wheat have been

Serjeatit TADDY on the Crown side.

DOE, DEM. OF MASTERS, V. GRAY.

Mr. CAMPBELL said, this was an action of eject-
ment to recover from the defendant the possession
of a cottage which had been sold to the plaintiff so
far back as 1785, by two individuals of the name
of Phillips, for the sum of seven guineas. The
premises had been in the occupation of the Phil-
lips's for upwards of 50 years. The lessor of the
plaintiff had been in possession of it since 1785,
till very recently, when the parish officers of the
parish in which the premises were situated, went
before a magistrate and claimed the cottage as the
property of the parish, and without any further in-
quiry, under the 59th of Geo. 111., c. 12, the ma-
gistrates delivered possession of it to the parish
officers.

Several witnesses were then called to prove that
the premises had been in the occupation of the
plaintiff for many years, and the conveyance to him
in the year 1785 was put in and proved.—Verdict
for the plaintiff.

We noticed last Monday, an atrocious case at
Manchester, i❑ which a woman was remanded for a second
examination on a charge of acting as procuress to an eldtrly
man, whom she called her uncle. A letter since disco-
vered upon her has given a clue to her hoary employer,
who, although he suddenly left the town On the report of
the woman's being in custody, is yet well known in Man—
chester, and the parish to which his unfortunate victim
belongs are determined to take every step towards bringing
him to justice.—Manchester Paper.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.-Aug, 18.

The weather since last Tuesday has been decidedly un-
favourable for the operations of harvest, which would
otherwise have been pretty general in this district; the
consequence has been an increased demand from the town
and country millers, for the best descriptions of both Wheat
and Oats, but more particularly for the finer qualities of
the former, which have become unusually scarce ; the
millers, however, still purchase with extreme caution, and
little improvement in prices was realised until Saturday,
when an advance of 2d. to 3d. on Wheat, and id. to Id.
per bushel on Oats, was obtained. English and Irish
Flour commanded Is. pack, and American as much per
barrel above previous quotations. The other articles of
the trade were also a little more inquired for, but without
producing any sensible effect on prices. Sunday and yes-
terday were fine, with strong winds, but last night and
this morning we bad again some heavy rain. There was
a free sale for fine fresh Wheats to-day, at fully the ad-
vance above noted, but no improvement in the inferior
qualities, nor were such saleable unless at a reduction.
Prime Oats fully sustained last Tuesday's quotations, but
the demand was by no means extensive.

SUMMER ASSIZES.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—SHREWSBURY, Auo. 15.
DOE, DEM. TILE MAYOR AND BURGESSES OF CAR

NARVON, V. POWELL AND OTHERS.

Mr. J. JERVIS opened the pleadings.
Mr. TAUNTON (with whom was Mr. Campbell)
said this was an action of ejectment brought to re-
cover the possession of certain premises now occu-
pied as the Custom-house of Carnarvon. They had
been formerly demised by the Mayor and Corpora..
tion to a member of the Wynn family, at a rent of
10s. per annum. When originally reserved, that
rent was probably the value of the land, as the
building which now formed the Custom-house had
been since built upon it. Lord Newborough was
now the head of the Wynn family, and let the pre-
mises to the defendants at a rent of 6.51. per annum.
The Corporation considered the premises were
worth more than 10s. a year, and directed an ap-
plication to be made to his Lordship on the subject,
but he disdained holding under the Corporation,
and claimed to have the premises in his own right.
This disclaimer rendered it unnecessary for the Cor-
poration to give him notice to quit, and therefore
this action was brought to ascertain who had the
best right to the property. The premises were oc-
cupied partly as a Custom-house, and partly as a
habitation for the clerks. The defendant, Mr.
Powell, was the principal officer, and Mr. Goddard
was the chief clerk.—Verdict for the defendants.
London, England, 1829-08-20

FINE ARTS.

We have just seen the Fourteenth Number of
Mr. Frank Howard's " Illustrations of Shak-
speare," containing twenty-two Outline plates,
the subjects of which are drawn from King John
and Corioiann,,. They are executed with all
this artist's wonted animation, and with more
than his wonted fidelity to Shakspeare's text.—
The illustrations of king John are more in
detail, and the outline is more filled up, than
has been, the case with Mr. Howard's former
Illustrations. The grouping, too, on the whole,
is better contrived, as an instance of which we may
refer to the very first specimen, where Philip, King
of France; is represented as demanding-the
dom of England from John in right of Arthur.
The engraving is here completely crowded with
characters both in the fore and back-grounds,
yet notwithstanding this numerous assemblage,
there is not the slightest confusion ; to each in-
dividual is apportioned his proper and fitting
station, so that the strictest harmony and uni-
formity are kept up. The conference (No. 5,)
of Hubert with King John, where the latter

darkly hints his wishes, as regards Arthur,
to the former, has much energy and boldness of
expression. The nature of the conference needs no
explanation, it is fully revealed in the speaking
countenances of the. Monarch and his confi-
dant. The leap of Arthur, (No. 8,) from
the battlements of the castle, though the
illustration possesses but one figure, has a
very striking effect. The little fragment of
sylvan scenery at the bottom of the Castle-
walls is ingeniously introduced, and gives at
one glance an imposing idea of the vast height
of the battlements. Of the illustrations to
Coriolanus we may say that they seem to con rev
(to those, who like ourselves, have never had the
good fortune to see him) a tolerably correct notion
of what the late Mr. John Kemble might have been
in this his favourite and most successful part, at
least if dignity and grandeur of air were his two
chief characteristics. The interview of Corio-
lanus with the Plebeians is exactly like what we
have heard so often described as Kemble's repre •
sentation of this scene. It is replete with stern
patrician haughtiness of look and gesture.
