CORRESPONDENCE.

MR. CANNING TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Foreign Office, April 10, 1827, 6 P.m.
My DEAR DUKE OF WELLINGTON,
. The King has, at an audience from which lam just re-
turned, been graciously pleased to signify to me His
Majesty's CoMmands, to lay before His Majesty, with as
little loss of time as possible, a plan of arrangements for the
re-construction of the Administration.
In executing these commands, it will be as much my
own wish, as it is my duty to his Majesty, to adhere to the
principles on which Lord Liverpool's Government has so
long acted together.
I need not add how essentially the accomplishment must
depend upon your Grace's continuance as a Member of the
Cabinet.

• Ever, my dear Duke of Wellington,
Your Grace's sincere and faithful servant,
(Signed) CEO. CANNING.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington.

The Duke of WELLINGTON to Mr. CANNING.
Loudon, April 10, 1827.

MY DEAR MR. CANNING,

I have received your letter of this evenirg, informing
me that the King had desired you to lay before his Ma-
jesty a plan of arrangements for the reconstruction of the
Administration 2 • and that, in executing these co;,,raands,
it was your wish to adhere to the principles on which
Lord Liverpool's Government had so long acted together.
I anxiously desire to be able to serve his Majesty, as I
have done hitherto in his Cabinet, and with the same cel-
leagues. But, before I give an answer to your obliging
proposition, I should wish to know who the person is
whom you intend to propose to his Majesty as the head of
the Government.—Ever, my dear Mr. Canning, your's,
most sincerely. (Signed) WELLINGTON.
The Right Hon. George Canning.

MR. CANNING TO TIIE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Foreign Office, April 11, 1827.
MY DEAR DUKE OP WELLINGTON,

I believed it to be so generally understood that the King
usually entrusts the formation of an Administration to the
individual whom it is his Majesty's gracious intention to place
at the bead of it, that it did not occur to me, when I
communicated to your Grace yesterday, the commands
which I had just received from his Majesty, to add that,
in the present instance, his Majesty does not intend to
depart from the usual course of proceeding on such oc-
casions.

I am sorry to have delayed some hours this answer
to your Grace's letter : but, from the nature of the
subject, I did not like to forward it, without having
previously submitted it (together with your Grace's
Letter) to his Majesty.
Ever, my dear Duke of Wellington,
Your Grace's sincere and faithful servant,
(Signed) GEO. CANNING.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington.

The Duke of WELLINGTON to Mr. CANNING.
London, April 11, 1827.
MY DEAR MR. CANNING,

I have received your letter of this day, and I did not
understand the one of yesterday evening, as you have now
explained it to me. I understood from yourself that you had
had in contemplation another arrangement, and I do
not believe that the practice to which you refer has been so
invariable as to enable me to affix a meaning to your letter
which your words did not, in my opinion, convey.
I trust you will have experienced no inconvenience from
the delay of this answer, which, I assure you, has been
occasioned by the desire to discover a mode by which I
could continue united with my recent colleagues.
I sincerely wish that I could bring my mind to the
conviction, that with the best intentions on your part,
your Government could be conducted practically on
the principles of Lord Liverpool ; that it would
generally be so considered ; or that it would be ade-
quate to meet our difficulties in a manner satisfactory to
the KING, and conducive to the general interests of the
Country.

As, however, I am convinced that these principles must
be abandoned eventually, that all our measures would be
viewed with suspicion by the usual supporters of the Go-
vernment—that I could do no good in the Cabinet, and that
I should at last be obliged to separate myself from it, at a
moment at which such separation would be more incon-
venient to the King's service than it can be at present,
I beg you to request his Majesty to excuse me from
belonging to his Councils.
Ever, my dear Mr. Canning,
Your's most sincerely,
WELLINGTON.

(Signed)
The Right Hon. George Canning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

HATTON-GARDEN.

RE-EXAMINATION OF ROWLAND WILLIAMS.—At
twelve o'clock Rowland TVilliams, who stood remanded
from Thursday last, under various charges of robberies in
the shops of jewellers and goldsmiths, wag placed at the,
bar for re-examination.

The office, as on the last examination, was filled with
tradesmen, who had been defrauded in a similar manner to
Messrs. Dobson and Co., not a few of whom attended it
hopes of being able to identify the prisoner as the indivi-
dual who so successfully levied contributions, during the
autumn of last year, on various tradesmen at the West End
of the Town, by the stratagem of calling at their shops in
a gig, t.rid taking a shopman with him to receive the
money for the articles purchased. In this, however, they
failed, there being no similitude I::tween the two persons.
Mr. Harmer attended for the prisoner, who seemed de-
jected.
The following new evidence was adduced :
Mr. William Turner, watchmaker, of- 176, Fenchurch-
street, stated, that on the 18th of last month, about three
in the afternoon, the prisoner came to his shop to look at
a case of valuable watch-keys, which he examined, but ex-
pressed a particular desire for a large key of solid gold,
enclosing a Cr.rngorum stone. After some slight hesita-
tion, he said he had not his watch in his pocket, but would
fetch it from the East India House, where his father and a
gentleman were transacting some business, who should re-
turn with him. After a longer absence than he expected,
witness proceeded to replace the case in his window, when,
to his great surprise, the key above-mentioned was missed.
No other person had been in the shop during the time.
The key attached to the watch is the one stolen from
his shop.
This charge was also taken against the prisoner, and he
was fully committed, with an understanding that he would
be again brought up to meet other charges, the parties con-
nected with which not having yet been duly apprised of
his captures.

The four rings found in his glove were afterwards iden-
tified ; but the party not being the owners, the case was
not gone into at present.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEALS.

The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and
Lord Plunkett, came down to the House this morning, for
the purpose of hearing Appeal..

WILLIAM LOrDiLL, APPILLANT,..-ROBERT CR•AGIU, A
LUNATIC, BY MIS COMMITTER, RODLIKE CONNOR, RES.

PONDINT.

There were two appeals under this name from decrees of
the Irish Lord Chancellor. The appellant, Lopdell, filed a
bill against the respondent in the Court of Chancery in
Ireland, for the purpose of establishing his claim to a certain
,!state in that country. This bill was dismissed with costs,
and shortly after Lopdell took the necessary steps for bringing
the question by way of appeal before the House of Lords.
The usual petition had been presented by him, and both
parties had respectively exchanged their papers. Sub-
qequently to this exchange, and before the ap-
peal was heard, the respondent obtained an or-
der of the Irish Lord Chancellor, directing his
Registrar to expunge from his notes of the evi-
dence received in the cause, certain documents, which
the respondent stated were not used by him as evidence.
The appellant conceiving this last order irregular, also
appealed against it, and both questions were this day ar-
gued before the House of Lords, by Mr. Brougham and
Merryvale for the appellant, and by Mr. Sugden and
Mr. Pepys for the respondent.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not sit in his Court to-day,
in consequence of hating to be in the House of Lords.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

The VICE-CITANCY.LLOR did not bit either, as it had
been found imposy';ile to get his Patent ready, so as to
have enabled him t have taken his seat to-day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
COTES V. RAILTON AND ANOTHER.

The COMMON SERGEANT moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict found for the plaintiff in this case,
should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. The cause
was tried before the Chief Justice at the last sittings at
Guildhall. It was brought for the recovery of 4681. 10s.
being the price of a cargo of calico and other goods furnished
by the plaintiff, who is a merchant in London, on the order of
Messrs. Butler of Lisbon. The order directed the goods
to be sent to the defendants, who were commission agents,
and who would forward them to Lisbon. The goods were
to be paid for by a bill on Mes•rs. Butler, which was ac-
cordingly drawn, but was dishonoured in consequence of
their failure. When the Messrs. Butlers failed, the goods
were in the warehouse of the defendants, and the plain-
tiff applied to them to deliver up the goods which,
he maintained, he had a right to stop in transitu ; but
the defendant,* refused to part with them, on the ground
that they had a lien upon them for a debt due to themselves
by the Butlers. The Learned Counsel this day contended
that the plaintiff's right of stoppage in transitu had ceased
whenever goods had conic into the possession of the de:
fendants, who must be held as representing the Butlers;
and referred to several cases where the Court had so ruled
under similar circumstances.

Mr. Justice BATLEY stated the general rule to be, that
when goods are ordered to be sent to a particular place of
destination, they are liable to be stopped in transitu till
their arrival there, and in this case the plaintiff was in-
formed that the goods were to be sent to Lisbon, and there-
fore he had a right to stop them.—Rule refused.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
`WILLIAMS AND WITZ V. OGLE.

Mr. PEcKx, in moving that the verdict in this case he
set aside, and a nonsuit entered, stated that it had been
tried at Oxford, last circuit, before Mr. Baron Vaughan,
and a verdict of 40s. returned for the plaintiff. The curious
form of the declaration excited the greatest merriment in the
Court, as the learned gentleman now read it as follows
that the defendant with others, did unlawfully, maliciously,
and with force and arms, with sticks, stones, poles, &v.,
strike and beat the waters of the river Thames, round
and near a certain punt, in which the plaintiff Mary
Williams was sitting, and that they did draw round the
said punt certain nets, by which besting and drawing, the
said Mary, was much frightened, and became very sick.
(Much laugnter. )
The Couar—She was sea-sick, I suppose:
After some further remarks as to the intention of the
beating, the Court granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF CONDELEGATES.
SITTINGS IN BANCO.
MARTIN V. STONE.

Dr. PHILLIMORE stated that this was a case of appeal from
a judgment delivered by Lord Stowel, in the High Court
of Admiralty, whereby he pronounced for the validity of a
bottomry bon& for the payment of which the ship Trial
and its cargo became liable. The case now carne on upon
the admission of the libel.

The Court ordered the libel to be admitted.
BRISCOE V. BRISCOV.
In this case, the details of which have been so frequently
before the public, Lady Briscoe's proctor prayed the Court
to grant a monition for one quarter's alimony amounting to
1001. due the 21 st of April last ; and also to grant a mo-
nition for the payment of a bill of costs which had been
taxed.

Dr. DAUBIGNY (the President) inquired whether the
application was intended to effect the case now before the
Law Judges.
The Proctor replied in the negative.

Dr. Lax (one of the Judges) said that in his opinion,
Lady Briscoe had been used extremely ill by her proctor
and her two counsel. As far as his single voice went, he
would not allow a farthing for alimony. The case had
been in the Courts for thirteen years, and it appeared to
him that the proctor and counsel had been making delays
for the purpose of augmenting their own fees.
This observation was received by the proctors and
counsel with ill suppressed merriment.
Dr. Lag proceeded to remark, that on the 4th Session
of last Term, two letters were read, one addressed by Lady.
Briscoe to himself, and the other by her Ladyship to her
Proctor. He now desired that the latter should be lodged
in the Registry, as Dr. Jenner bad founded some observa-
tions upon it, in which he animadverted very strongly on
him (Dr. Lee.)
The PRESTDENT said, he would make no order upon
such a letter, for who was it prayed by ?
Dr. pray for it, Sir, for the Court repeated the
animadversions which Dr. Jenner threw out against me.
The PRISIDENT-How can you make a prayer in a case.
where you are a Judge. It is of course that the monition
should be granted'
The President and the other Advocates then withdrew.
and Dr. Lee repeated his observation, that Lady Briscoe'.
Counsel and Proctor had delayed the case solely for
purpose of augmenting their fees.
