COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The Court sat su Lanco, this morning, to bear motions
for new trials, and the Lord Chief Justice left at one o'clock,
in order to sit at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall. Previous to
our going to press, however, nothing of public interest
transpired.
The Lord Chief 13aron also sat in Equity in the Exche-
quer Chamber on an unimportant cause.

A petition to the House of Commons for
opening that part of the Regent's Park at the top of Baker-
street, under the same regulations as Kensington-gardens,
and the rest of the Park generally, io in the course of sig-
nature in Marylebone parish.
PARLIAMENTARY PUN.—One sometimes
hears a good thing said in the Gallery, as well as in the
body of the House of Commons. While Mr. WHITMORE
and Sir F. BURDETT were conversing. upon the difficulty
of getting competent Members to inquire into the Water
Companies, a Gallery Member humourously observed—
" Why, you have only two Commoners in your whole body
fit for this water task, namely—Fountnin WiLson, and
Spring Rica."—Brighton Gazette.
We understand the late Mrs. CouT rs has
settled 20,0001. a-year on the Duke of ST. Amwes, and
that any further expectations in the event of her death, are
rendered contingent on his good behaviour. This grant is
for his Grace's life on.'y ; we have not heard what provi-
sion is settled on the issue of the marriage.—Brighton
Gazette.

A French paper gives the following details
with respect to the rapidity of the com:nunieations by
means of the telegraph :—.At Paris, news arrives from
Lisle (60 leagues), in 2 minutes ; frost Calais (68 leagues)
4 min. 5 sec. ; Toulon, 13 min. 50 sec. ; Bayonne) 14
min. ; Brest (ISO leagues), 6 min. 5 owe. ; Strasbourg
(120 leagues), 15 min. 52 me,.
SUICIDE.—A Coroner's Inquest was held last
night at the Champion, Lisson-grove, before Tnostas
STIRLING, on the body of Mary Duggan, who put a period
to her existence on Tuesday last, by cutting her throat.
Verdict—Temporary Derznement.
Extract of a private letter from Carthagena,
dated April2B, 1827, 10 o'clock, pan..—At this late hour
I have just been confirmed in some information relative
to the present state of this Republic, just received from
windward, vie., it is certain that Bolivar has arrived at
Verenas, on his way to the capital, to assume the reins of
Government. This may appear strange after his formal
abdication, but he has yielded to the petitions of the people
to resume power ;—the friends of Bolivar now say the
Bolivian Code was never intended to he put in execution.
It is believed that Government has a sufficient sum to pay
the interest on the domestic debt, and that some small
amount is also in hand towards paying that on the Foreign
Loan. The English Naval Commander in the Jamaica
station, as well as our Minister, Mr. Cockburn, are sup-
posed to be aware of Bolivar's plans, as one of our smaller
vessels of war had proceeded to Maracaibo and landed her
guns, to proceed over the Bar, for the purpose of giving
facility to his jounny toward, Bogota.

COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

ADDRESS TO THE DOWAGER QUEEN OF
WURTEMBERG.

At the sitting of the Court, the LORD blavoa sub-
initted a letter which he had received frOm Sir Thomas
Hammond, relative to the Address voted at the last Court
to the Queen Dowager of Wurtemberg. The letter was
dated St. James's Palace, June 15, and declared her Ma-
jesty's disinclination to receive any public body, as she
had come to this country in her private capacity, merely
on a visit to her Brother, the King, and the other Mem-
bers of the Royal Family. It also stated her Majesty's
ill health as a cause why she declined the honour.
