MAarte tt. JENNEP.," the other " BENYST v". PIPOIL"

Monsieur MARS, to whom the public has
Leen some time indebted for that lively little Miscellany,
the Furet de Londres, had a benefi., last night at the
Argyll Rooms, which was fully and fa%hionably attended.
The entertainment was of the most select characttr.

An account has been published, by order of
the House of Commons, "of ail goods detained and sold
tit the Custom-house, in the last year, on the plea of being
undervalued by the importer; thereof," which appears to be
very defective, in as far as it does not show whether the
revenue has Leen benefited by such detention on the part of
the officers who rejected the valuation at which the said
goods were entered. The object of the Hon. Member, or
the parties on whose behalf he moved for the production
of the account, is thereby defeated. The following is an
abstract of the account :

Cross produce of sales .£3,607 6 8
Amount of sale above the

merchants' valuation £l,6SO 6 10
Ameunt of sale below the
merchants' valuation

74 10 7

.0 1,r0.5 16 :1
it is left doubtful, however, whether this includes duty,
merchants' p,r centage, and charges of sale. The net
produce of sale, after deducting the amount paid to the
merchant, and all charges, is stated to be 1,5751. 7s. 3y.,
out of which there was to be paid to the seizing officers
7871. 13s. 71d., leaving to the revenue 7871. 13s.
The return ought to have shown what the duty would
have been if the merchants' valuation had been accepted.
This must be, in part, matter of con;ecture, but it ap-
pears, from the Parliamentary document, that the mer-
clEsnts' valuation of the goods was 4,201/. 10s. 5d., the
ml valorem duty on which ranges from 20 to 75 per cent. ;
so that it may he concluded that the amount of duty
thereon would have fallen very little short of the sum
stated as " net proceeds," a moiety of which went into the
pocket of the officer instead of the Exchequer, who has a
motive, therefore, for the detention of the goods vexatiously.
LADY CODRINGTON'S BALL.—The above
Lady gave a ball en Thursday night, at her residence in
Eaton-square. Besides their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, there were present upwards
of 300 of the principal Nobility. The mansion was fitted
up in the most splendid style, and decorated with the
rarest exotics and the choicest flowers. Dancing com-
menced shortly after eleven o'clock, to the music of WKlr-
rnefs hand, and did not terminate until after four o'clack
in the morning. The supper aed refreshments were under
tFe direction of Messrs. GUNTER.

DUBLIN, JUNE 24.--This mowing Mr.
O'CONNELL, acCompaDied by Messrs. RONAYNE. SUGRUE,
LANIGAN, BARTLETT, &c. attended at the Head Ofike of
Police, to lodge informations against Mr. TALtiox GL As
coot:, the opposition Candidate for Clare. Mr. PLONAYNE
stated he had heard Mr. GLASCCCE make use of threaten-
ing language on divers occasions to Mr. O'CONNELL ; but
that particularly, on the day before, he saw Mr. GLAS-
COCK in the Hall of the Four Courts, flourishing a de-
tonating gun, made to resemble a cane, and with which
he swore he would drive a bullet through the while liver
of the Great Demagogue, without touching his black
heat with several expressions of a similar nature, all
ttliding to create an apprehension that he would commit a
breach of the peace. The informations of Messrs. O'CoN-
NFL!, and RONAYNE were immediately taken by Mr.
Tenon, who forthwith issued his warrant, and in less
than half an hour,
.MANLY, the officer, took Mr. GLAS-
C 4 etc into custody as he was stepping into his travelling
carriage, at the door of his Hotel in Dawson-street. On
being examined by Mr. Tunon, he disclaimed any inten-
tun of offering violence to the person of Mr. O'CONNELL.
He failed, however, in inducing Mr. TUDOa to believe
that lie was not influenced by hostile motives, and was
therefore ordered to find securities to keep the peace, him-
self in 5001., and two householders of respectability in
250/. each. Mr. GLASCOCK stated he could easily pro-
cure the -necessary sureties, and immediately despatched
his • Tit nd and relative, young- Mr. SCEIVEIT, in search of
them.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1829.

Despatches nem received at the Colonial
Office, this morning, from Lieut.-General F. C.
PONSONBY, at Malta, dated May 27 ; also from
General Sir CHARLES DON, at Gibraltar, dated
June 12; and from the British Minister, at Cadiz,

dated June 14. We understand none of the
above despatches contain any intelligence of

rnportance.

Extracts from the French Papers i,vill be found
in another column ; their contents, it will be
seen, `are far from being either important or in-

cresting.

Accounts from St. Domingo, of the 21st
April, state that the island was in a most wretched
condition. There was no security; money wag
scarce ; and the people were in such a miserable
state that they could neither afford to cut timber
or bring it down from the interior of the country_
To add to their distress, mahogany was getting
scarce and high priced. The merchants there
have been obliged to pay large sums into the
treasury for the payment of the troops, and many
wealthy people had lately been induced to leave

the island in order to avoid these contributions.
Small money was so scarce that in paper currency
the ten dollar notes had fallen to seven dollars.

As Public Monuments seem just now very
much in vogue, we know no one who can lay
stronger claims to such a flattering distinction,
than that excellent man and eminent philosopher,

the late Professor DUGALD STEWART, of
Edinburgh. If an uninterrupted course ofpublic
services, extended over the greatest part of half
a century, can entitle a man to the active grati-
tude of his countrymen, then the Professor will
be found in every respect to have earned the
highest posthumous honours it. is in their
power to bestow. As a man, he was the
soul of integrity and strict moral worth ; as
a philosopher, he laid down principles of

the loftiest and most efficient nature ; as a
logician and a thinker, he was acute, liberal,
tolerant, in his opinions; and only less profound
than he was simple and convincing in his style.
Few men can rise from the perusal of Professor
STEwAnT's works without feeling their judg-
ment strengthened and their feelings elevated. He
has no brilliant startling paradoxes, no Utopian
schemes of regeneration, his productions :owe
their charm to the great good sense and practical
(and, in some respects, severe) acquaintance with
the world, that every where abound in their pages.
If Lord ELDON, the fixed—though we verily

believe conscientious---opponent of every thing
that tends to enlarge or purify the faculties of the
human mind, is deemed worthy of a public
monument ; how much worthier is that man
whose whole life was spent in the diffusion of
sound and healthy intellect, and who, from his
success and influence in that respect, may ex-
claim with quite as much justice as HonAcE,

" Ezegi monumentum nre perennius,
Regalique situ pyramidutn altius,
Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotrns

Possit diruere."

Our attention has been called by a letter in
another column to a question of serious interest
-to that respectable body—the surgical practi-
tioners of the metropolis—a great portion of
whom divide with the chemists and druggists
the retail business' of drugs, chemicals, and
patent medicines. It appears that this influential
and highly respectable body are put to serious
inconvenience, and kept in a state of constant
alarm by the ingenious but highly disgraceful
practices of that hole-and• corner fraternity, the
" informers," who seek out every opportunity of
bringing their contrivances to bear for the sake
of the " penalty." If these gentry were on the
alert and " laid their informations " for attempts
at eluding the Stamp duties in bona fide cases,
we should commend their watchfulness rather
than reprove their alacrity ; but when we find
them hunting out and contriving pretexts for
taking in the unwary, by feigning cases of
sudden illness, and so forth, we think their con-
duct cannot be too much reprobated. But this
is not all. The informers, failing in making out
a " good case,' scruple not in swearing lustily
to a " bad one," upon the strength of which
many an honest man has been compelled
to pay the same penalty as if he had
transgressed the " legitimate" source of com-
plaint. For instance—because a Mr. HENRY
had obtained a patent for " aromatic vine-
gar," which goes by his name, it seems no
person must sell any article called " aromatic
spirit of vinegar," or " concentrated spirit of
vinegar"—although such an article is indispen-
sable in every surgeon's or apothecary's shop,
and is besides recognized by the Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons of London, Edinburgh,
and Dublin ! Really these things reflect
no credit upon the over-busy informers, nor
upon those who countenance their proceedings,
by allowing a reward where none is due. We
arc certain that the Commissioners are them-
selves imposed upon by those very ingenious
gentlemen who earn their precarious livelihood
by " informations," or they never would permit
any rewards to he given in cases similar to those
in question. The " practice" requires reforma-
tion—and that speedily.

This morning, as for some days past, there is rot
the least indication of business or speculation in
the Canso! market. Consols opened at the same
price they left off at yesterday, 881 for the account.
Nothing doing in the Foreign market as yet.
Extract of a letter received at the North and
South American Coffee-house :

" LIVERPOOL, JUNE 25.—Accounts received from
Lisbon of the lith inst. state, that the expedition
destined against Terceira sailed on the 16th inst.
from the Tagus."
The London line of packet ship, Co/on/Ma, Capt.
Delano, from New York, has arrived off Ports-
mouth; the papers and letters are not yet received.

It was erroneowly stated, that i►► the ease cf the

persons brought lime in the Danish sloop of war
Corn St. Croix, under a charge of piracy, that the
Grand Jury dismissed the Bills; on the contrary,
the Grand Jury came into Court on Saturday
morning with Bills against them.

CAPF; lIAYTI, MAY B.—The Government have
laid an increased duty of 10 per cent. on dudes and
port charges of American vessels. This measure
is said to be in consequence of Haytiatt vessels not
being admitted to an entry in the United States on
the same terms as American vessels. Letters from
Havannah of the 24th state that five pirates were to
be hung.

The-amount of duties on imports at the port of
New York in the year 1827 was 13,217,695 dollars,
and in 1828, 13,745,147. The singular disparity
between the corresponding quarter of 1828 and
1829, which was in 1829; 2,688,085 dollars, and
in 1828, 4,189,116, arises from the pending of the
late tariff law in Congress during the spring of last
year.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS. DAY.)

coura OF CHANCERY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court, this
morning, at the usual time, when the part-heard
case of Morris v. Davis, which lu been so long
and so frequently before the public, was called on,
but Mr. Sergeant RUSSEL not being in attendance,
The LORD CHANCELLOR slid he would retire for
a short time into his private room, as he had some
very important business to attrnd to, but would re-
turn again into Court with as little delay as possible.
At eleven o'clock his Lordship again took his seat
in Court, and Mr. Sergeant RUSSEL having arrived,
the Learned Counsel commenced his arguments in
support of the legitimacy of the plaintiff Morris,
and had not concluded when our Reporter left.

VICE-•CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
BROOKMAN V. ROTHSCHILD.
Mr. SPENCE concluded his arguments in support
of the plaintiff's case, and Mr. PEMBERTON com-
menced on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Rothschild.
In the present stage of the cause we do not feel war-
ranted in giving a detailed report, as it must of
,neces-
sity be only nr-parle.
The Court presented a singular appearance, as
during rite principal part of the morning there were
only two Counsel and the Vice-Chancellor present.
