Mr. COOPrIt moved the Court for a Mandamus to the Corpora-
tion of the City of London, for refusing to grant a license to sell
person named Symonds, who succeeded Spring, the land.
lord Joe's Coffee-house, in Mitre-court, Fleet-street,
bseperrin itgoof a
William
having
been licensed, and before the expiration of such li-
cense, he quitted the premises. If their Lordships refused to grant
the Nlandamus, perhaps they would grant the Rule Nisi, calling on
the City Justices to consider the pounds or ';y monds's application
with reference to the Act of Parliament -r licensing victual- '
ling-houses.

the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE thought the Act was not compulsory
on the Justices to giant a license to any pet son succeeding the li-
censed victualler previous to the expiratio:: of his license. if, there-
fore, the Court valued the rule to she•.v cause, and it should be
discharged. it would be with costs.

\ Ir. i'rinvvß said, he wished the Court to grant the rule, nuilt:ng
the costs discretionary in the Court upon cause being stttwn.— Rule
Nisi granted.
Mt. CAMP/Elj. said, he had to move their T.ordships for a eritni-
. -

nal information against an attorney of the county of Stafford.
The Loan (hire JUSTICE—This being the last day of Term,
perhaps you will be content with giving notice of your anlication
to move it lust Term ?—The Learned Ccuosel assented.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT ANGLESEA imuse, ALDERS•

GA TE-SThIELT.
The driver of the hackney-coach No. 74, appeared under the
following circumstances: The extensive warehouses of Mr. Riddle,
of Aldersgate.street, were broken open, and silks, satins, and other
property to upwards of 700/. stolen. About nine o'clock a young
man, 'hinted :isnot.' [larding, v. ho resided on the spot, yew two
men with bundles, and knowing that no persons slept in the house,
determined on watching then,. In Smithfield they called the
cinch is question, and got into it with pin of the property.—
larding went up and asked if the ro,ieh wa; hired, and was told
by one of the thieves, that it was, to bring J MilWiee to a sick Lady.
The coachman was then ordered to drip, towards the West.—
ti at ding. however, still followed, and on an ivinz at Cock-lane, the
two thiev. s got out, and told the coachman to drive to Temple-bar,
aad thence to WeilminsterAbbey, which he did so far, and an officer
having been procured, he was given into custody on his arrival at
Temple.bar, and taken to St. Clement Dines Watch-holise. The
coachman protested that he did not know anything of the thieves,
nor of the burglary, and thus the matter at present stands. The
officers were instructed to use their exertions to trace the robbers,
and hopes are still entertained that they will be brought to justice.

Tur. IRISH PLACK-lII7NTEIt.
A place under Govemment,
Was all that Paddy wanted ;
Ile married sown a scolding wife,
And thus his wish was granted! P.
Letters from Madrid say, that great apprehen-
sions of a scarcity of grain being entertained, the
bakers had bought up the corn of the farmers and
land-owners ; the police had investigated this matter,
and several persons guilty of thus illegally forestalling
the market, have been arrested. A Deputy of the Cortes
had taken refuge at Gibraltar ; but having returned, he
fell into the hands of the Magistrates. The French gar-
' isons in the several cities of Spain are going to be re-
inforced. The Generals who are going to command in
Navarre and Arragon, will, it is said, have almost un-
limited power to do whatever they may judge neces-
sary to restore and maintain the public tranquillity,
which is disturbed all over the provinces by the Royal
Volunteers. General Dit:goN himself will not have
much authority ; the Ambassador is everything. On
the .sth, the Feast of St. Isidore was celebrated. There
were disorders in several places, and even some blood-
shed. Three Swiss, of the Royal Guard, have been shot
for theft.

The late Minister of Finance in France, Count ROY,
states, in his speech delivered in the Chamber of Peers,
on Tuesday last, that the number of annuitants who
have an interest in the Piench Funds, amount to
145,000. Of these, 10,000 possess annuities of from 10
to 50 francs (or 21.); 36,000 anneities below 100 francs
(or 4/.); 76,000 annuities below 1,000 francs (or 401.),
and only 1,600 inscriptions at or above 10,000 francs
(ot 4001). Thus there are 122,500, out of 145,000, who
possess inscriptions of less than 401. sterling.
THE BALLooN.--Miss Stocks, it seems, has expressed
a wish to ascend with Mr. Graham, on Wednesday
next. It has been said that during the aerial voyage
\lr. Harris gave her the valve-lines to hold ; now it
happens, that upon examining the balloon the valve-
lines were found fastened round the main cord of the
car, 'and that when the unfortunate Mr. Harris ob-
served his perilous situation, he cut the valve-lines.
During this time Miss Stocks was in a state of insensi-
bility. She remembers passing through clouds, some
of which appeared as bright as silver, and others white
as snow, but has no recollection of the latter part of the
descent. The remains of Mr. Han is ale to be interred
on Wednesday, in St. James's burial-ground.
DARING Rollo L A RY.— Ye,terclay afternoon, about
four o'clock, while the family were attending Divine
Service, the house of Mrs. Clarke, a widow Lady, of
Saville-row, in the Walworth main road, was entered
by means of picklock keys, and plundered of plate to
the amount of twenty pounds, and various other port-
able articles, with which the villains made their escape;
and, unfortunately for the ends of justice, have left 110
clue by which they may be known, although two men
were seen by some neighbours to leave the house at the
front door, which they did so deliberately, that no sus-
picion of anything wrong could be for a moment en-

:ertained.
CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MAY 31.

The quantities et al wets of Corn last week were only moderate,
and this morning there is a fair additional supply of Wheat, Barley,
&MIS, and Peas, froin Essex, Kent, and SL.ffo'k, also a few more
vessels with Oats from the northern ports. Our milers were quite
indisposed to make purchases of Wheat this morning, and although
the few samples of fine dry Wheat that appeared, were readily sold
on terms fully equal to last INlonday's quotations, yet all other
descriptions have sold very heavily, and do not support the rates of
this day se'nnight. Barley sells very heavily, but is not cheaper.
Beans find buyers on the same testis* as last quoted. Boiling Peas
fully maintain the rates of last week. Grey Peas are unaltered. The
market has a good spew of Oat samples, and this article is quoted
rather lower than last ',Monday, but there has been a tolerable good
sale this morning. The Flour trade continues excessively dull.

SMITHFIELD 111:11tKE.T, MAY 51.
This morning's Market was not so well stocked with Cattle,
more particularly in Oxen, as en this day se'nnight, the trad-• being
dull and htavy. Owing to the butchers having purchased 'rely on
Monday last, and great part of their sunk renrairciug on hand, tke
prices were lower fur most suits of Cattle.
