COURT OF

Nli'!'"lNG-11'' OF THE MIDDLESEX GRAND •ii-Mr.

•141-4 Magistrates were exempt from serving on

N, fro of instances where Aldermen were ex-

lt: listice BAILEY then ordered Sir Peter to be
a. 1 1/41 examined him as
I to the injury which the

public interest was likely to sustain from his absence
from Guildhall.

Sir PETER said, that at this advanced period, lie
could not find a substitute to perform his Magisterial
duties.

The COURT then ordered that Sir Peter should
be released, from attendance on this occasion but
that he should be summoned to serve on the next
Grand Jury,.in order to give him au opportunity of
trying his right of exemption under the Charter, if
any such right existed.
A number of gentlemen who hadbeen summoned,
were also excused on the ground of indisposition,
and it was quite remarkable, that in a vast majority
of cases the disease described by the individuals
themselves as well' as their medical attendants, as a
ground of exemption was, that the parties were suf-
fering under such a degree of " nervous irritability"
that they were not capable of properly discharging
their duty as .Grand Jurors.
Upon the Grand Jury being sworn, Mr. Justice
BAILEY shortly addressed them. He said he was
not aware of any case which called for their particu-
lar attention. It might be necessary to inform them
however, that in cases of perjury, one oath was not
sufficient for a Grand' Jury to act upon. It was
only oath against oath, and in all cases of perjury,
therefore, it was necessary that the prosecutor's
oath should be supported. It was also necessary
that the Grand Jury should be of opinion that the
accused had not only sworn falsely, but so sworn
wilfully and 'corruptly, and that what he was charged
with swearing was material to the subject under ju-
dicial consideration. •
The Grand. Jury then retired..

Their Lordships afterwards sat in banco, and
were engaged in hearing arguments for new trials,
the particulars of which were of no public interest.
The following was the only case of any' iniport-

ante :

SOLARTE AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES OF ALCEDO C. BOGART,

This was an action brought on bills of exchange
to a large amount discounted by Alcedo, and the
payment of which was resisted on the ground of
usury. The action was tried before Lord Tenter-
den, when a verdict was taken for the plaintiff.
The Solicitor-General subsequently obtained a rule
to show cause why the verdict should not be set
aside, and an order made for a new trial, on the
ground that Alcedo was proved to have discounted
the bills on a usprious consideration, for that he re.,
ceived the usual discount and commission, besides a
sum of one per cent.
The.ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. BROUGHABI, and
Mr. POLLOCK, now showed cause against the rule;
and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL. and MI. GURNEY
were heard in support of it. •
The judgment of the Court was deferred;

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
His HONOUR disposed of several motions, none
of which possessed any features of general interest.

The County Ball, at Dalkeith, on Friday,
under the patronage of Lady H. DaLaYmmE, Mrs.
DUNDAS of Arniston, and Mrs. BURN CALLENDER Of
Pieston Hall, was most fashionable, and more numerously
attended than on former, oceasions.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

NICE DISTINCTIONS.-Mr. SHEILA its his
last speech at !the Catholic Association,
,describes the dif-
ference between English and Irish murder with all the
metaphysical acumen of a connoisseur. An Irish murder,
it seems, is the very poetry of assassination—disinterested,
eloquent, and imsginative ; an English murder is an affair
of business, a thing in which the pocket shares far more
considerably than the genius. " English murder," adds
Mr. SHEn., " makes the heart sick, Irish murder makes
the hair stand on end." Quere, what effect has this last.
on people who wear a wig ?

DUEL PREVENTED. Saturday morning
Peace-officers CAMPBELL and Macitaztr, of the Arran-'
quay Police, in consequence of receiving information that
a duel was about to be fought in the Phoenix Park, pro-
ceeded to the fifteen acres, where they found a considerable
crowd of persons collected, and the respective hostile ar-
rangements completed- between the belligerents. The,
Police succeeded in capturing the instruments of death, but:
the principals, Mr. W--T—R, and Mr.
effected their escape.•—Dublin Morning Post.

The answer to the inquiries at Guildhall, after
the Anchor which so seriously, injured itself by coming in
contact with his Lordship's occiput, is, that it is as well as
can he expected.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening
an Inquisition was held at the City of Paris public-house,
Greyhound-lane, Bethnal-green, before
Esq., upon view of the body of RICHARD HARDGRAVES,
a youth not eight years old, and who came to his death by
falling into the canal on last Sunday evening.—Verdict
" Accidental Death.

HINT TO TRADESMEN.---A number . of
tradesmen at Lincoln, during the summer of this year,
formed a S-ciety for mutual protection against dishonest
persons, and by monthly communications of their losses
and difficulties in trade, together with a correspondence
with the Guardian Society of Hull, a decided protection is
felt against the harpies who prey upon commerce by incur-
ring debts without intending to pay, and by false pretences
obtaining property which the law cannot recover. —Boston
Gazette.

. M. CLOQUET, at a late meeting of the Paris
Royal Academy of Medicine " presented" a hair-dresser,
who bad cut his threat with a razor. The wound was
transverse, and had divided the windpipe in such a manner
that two of the rings were entirely detached at their anterior
part, and were only retained behind by a portion of cellular
membrane. They were removed ; . the lips of the wound
brought together by suture and bandage, and cicatrization
took place without any fistula, although there was a loss
ofsubstanc.e, and the wound admitted the finger even when
the head was bent. The voice was lost, in the first in-
stance, but afterwards returned, although it remained
hoarse. Similar cases are mentioned by ',ARABY.

SALTPETRE.—In consequence of the intel-
ligence which was received from the Mediterranean on Sa-
turday, this article, which previously had been neglected
and ruled nominally at 245. 6rl. per cwt., became an ob-
ject of scr,., inquiry, and several parcels were purchased at
that price; and yesterday the demand being more general,
from the expectation that there would be considerable spe-
culation at the sale of 1,300 tons which was to take place
to-day at the India House, nearly 1,000 tons changed
hands at 255., and in some instances 255. 6d. per cwt. At
the sale this morning the attendance was numerous, and it
opened with spirit at 265. and 26e. 6d. per cwt. ; but as
the buyers ha 6 previously in part supplied themselves, and
the excitement of yeSterday had somewhat subsided, the
bidoings became gradually Ices animated, and towards the
clew 255. and 255. 6d. could with difficulty be obtained :
the whole of the quantity offered was, however, disposed of.
PROFITABLE EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOR.
—Mr. PORTMAN, M.P. for the county of Dorset, is taking
effectual means to improve the condition of the peasantry
in those parishes in which he has property. Some time
since, Mr. CHAMBERS, the late hanker, purchased the
estate of Chettle, in Dorsetshire, bordering on Cranborne
Chase, and adopted there a mode of ploughing which was
deemed by the farmers of that part of the country most un-
fit for the thin chalky soil which abounds there. By the
use of the trench plough a new soil, which had never before
been exposed to the air, was turned up, and the ordinary
surface buried. The land so treated has since produced
crops far exceeding in quantity and quality that which
the soil yielded on the old plan. Mr. PORTMAN has since
improved on the principle, and is using the spade instead of
the plough, by which mode of trenchinga number of labourers
are employed at 9d. a perch, or 61. an acre, in trench-digging
a large quantity of furze land belonging to his estates. Land,
is thus rendered highly produc-
tive, poor, for which they are
ftiravifrell'yr'anered(cleeoirivni:iekincpelol.‘' provided
unprofitable,i
everyfor
were to adopt the same plan, or to allow a deduction
from his tenants' rent in proportion to the additional ex-
penditure thus occasioned, it would prove an effectual
means of destroying the habit of pauperism, and thus pre-
vent the conversion of our peasantry into a species of slave.
As large crops of flax are commonly produced on virgin
soil, if about 20 acres of land in every parish were thus
cultivated, employment might be found in the winter
season for women and children in the succeeding year,
as well as for the men at present. Would not some plan
of this sort be generally practicable, so as to prevent the
necessity of an expensive emigration, at least so far as Eng-
Lad is concerned?... World.

About a month since the sloop Union, of
his port, Captain PHILLIPS, laden with coals, sailed from
Sunderland for Wisbech, since which period no tidings
have been heard of her. Mr. PHILLIPS, the master, has
been married only a few weeks, and his wife accompanied
him on this, it is feared, fatal voyage. The sloop Eliza,
of Spalding, also sailed from Sunderland, about the same
time, for Spalding, coal laden, and has not since been
heard of. —Boston Gazette.

Rio DE LA PLATA MINING COMPANY.--
A Meeting of .the Shareholders who have not paid up the
last instalment on their shares, was held this day at the
King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, to adopt steps to pro-
tect themselves against the Directors, who are enforcing
the payment of the call. The meeting was thinly attended.
Mr. Fox was in the Chair. In consequenceofthe thinness of
the meeting, a motion for adjournment was put and car-
ried. It was recommended that a circular should be ad-
dressed to all the Shareholders who had not paid the call,
pointing out to them the steps which should be taken to
resist the legal proceedings commenced by the Directors
for the recovery of the unpaid calls. If Counsel's opinion
was, that they were liable to these calls, it was intended in
the next meeting to submit an amicable arrangement to the
Directors. There were only six Shareholders present, and
the number of reporters was five.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-Yesterday an in-
quest was held at the Committee Rooms for' the Liberty of
the Rolls, in Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn, on the body of
JAMES Anaorr, aged 45. About four months back the
deceased carried on an extensive business as a soap-boiler ;
hut being a defaulter to the Revenue, the whole of his pro-
perty was taken upon an extent froth the Crown, and he
was consigned to a prison ; he was, -froWever released from
his confinement, on giving bond to'enter special bail in the
thliowing Term. Having neglected this, he was again ar-
rested en Sunday morning last, at his lodgings, in North-
street, Whiteshapel-road. The apartment in which he
was found was as wretched an abode as could be imagined,
it being almost totally destitute of furniture, with the ex-
ception of an old table and two chairs. The officers found
hire and his wife eagerly devouring a small loaf, and on
his taking leave of her he divided the bread, and tore him-
self
from her in the greatest grief: to add to her misery,
she is in the last stage of a consumption. On their way
to WILSON'S lock-up house in Chancery-lane, 6d. was given
to him by a person, and with it he purchased a threepenny
loaf and a pint of porter. At night, before he retired
to rest, he asked the keeper of the lock-up-house for a
drink of water, observing, that he had no money to
purchaser any thing else. On the following morn-
ing he was found in his room.quite dead, having hanged
himself to one of the rails of tire bedstead.—The Coroner
and Jury having heard these facts proved by several wit-
nesses, said they had seldom heard of such a distressing case,
and returned a verdict—"-That the deceased had destroyed
himself while labouring under insanity." A subscription
was entered into amongst the Jury for the benefit of the
widow, who has been married only twelve months.

MAIL COACH ADVENTURE.—A rather cu-
rious adventure befel the Holyhead mail coach a few nights
ago, on the road from St. Asaph to Abcrgele. This being
the coachman's first drive upon the road, he was, of course,
unacquainted with it ; but, co coming to the end of St.
Asaph bridge, where the road branches off, one way
to Abergelc and th::: other to Rhydlan, instead of seek-
ing the requisite information from the guard, or a
gentleman of Abergele, who teas on the outside, he
preferred trusting to the instinct of the horses as to
the way he should take, and this naturally leading
them to prefer the fine level road to Rhydlan, they
proceeded merrily along it. The mistake was not dis-
covered until a fair Hibernian, who was an inside passen-
ger, happening to put her head outside the window, in-
quired what bridge it was they Were come to. " Bridge'."
exclaimed her companion, " it can't be a bridge, Ma-
dam." "By !ay faith it is," replied the lady, "at least
it is what we should call one in my country, whatever you
may do in yours." To satisfy himself the gentleman took
a peep through the opposite side, when lo ! to his inex-
pressible surprise, he found that they were on the centre
of Rhydlan bridge, three miles from St. Asaph. re-
covering a little from his astonishment, he shouted to the
coachman, " Where the deuce arc you driving us to ?"
At this unexpected interrogation, the coach was gut ldenly
stopped ; the guard stared wildly at the Shipping i n the
river, and the passengers knew not what to think.. A
council being convened, it was agreed that
unanimously
they should make the best of their way back again ; but,
before they could turn, they were obliged to drive through
the town, thus fulfilling an ancient Welsh prediction, ti.tat

London royal mail coach should be driven through Rhyti•

TRADE WITH MEDITERRANEAN.

In consequence of the alarming and increasing de:
predations committed by Greek pirates in the- Me.-
diterranean and Levant, a meeting of merchants,
ship-owriers, and others connected with the trade to
Turkey, Egypt, &c., was held at John's Coffee=
house, Cbrnhill, on 'the (ith instant, when it was de=
tan-lined to appoint a Committee'. to' draw' up a
memorial to be 'presented to His Majesty's Govern-
ment, respecting the grievabces, and the necessity
for some immediate measures being taken to sup,
press the pirates and afford more efficient protection ;
the Committee was also authorized to act in further:.
anco of the views of the Meeting, in such a way as
iii their discretion they should judge to be for the best.
The Committee accordingly prepared a. repreSen
tatiOn. to Lord Viscount Goderich, with a list of the
piracies committed upon British ships. 'The inter-
view was promptly granted, and a deputation from.
the, Committee, consisting of Mr. J. T. Daubia,
Alr. N. Kerr, Mr. Samuel Briggs, and Mr. John
Blunt, accordingly. .waited upon Lord Goderich, with
whom was Mr. Grant :and Mr. Huskisson.

The whole subject was fully dismissed, and it was
stated by Lord Goderich, that, the evil of which the
trade complained had, not :been overlooked by his
Majesty's Government, but that some measures had
already. been taken to put down the pirates ; and
that the magnitude of the depredations, as well as
the CliilietiltieS which Icing's
.ships ,found in rooting
out the freebooters, would require more . prompt
measures for bringing.: them to justice when taken,
and more active, means to be used by the Greek
Goiternment to remove ail further cause for com
plaint. Lord Goderich assured the deputation that
the particular attention of Government would be
occupied in adopting some immediate remedies for
the grievances to which the trade was subjected.
The following is a list nf the piracies committed
upon- English ships, ,so far as yet • ascertained ; and:
there is reason to apprehend that the number ac-
tually plundered wilt be considerably increased by
the next advices:—
