".To-morrow will commence the fu!ieral ceremoAies
linen the exlmmated bn.ly of the Priest Don Martin
Vinuesa. They are to be performed with great pomp.
The Minister of Grace and Justice has transmitted to
•the Municipality of Madrid the fillowing Royal Order,
relative to the circumstance:

• Amongst the horrible crimes which trace in charac-
ters of blOod (the infaMy of which will be eternal in the
eyes of all civilised natioas) the fatal epoch of the op-
pression of his Majesty during the sinister Constitutional
system, one of the most scandalous was the atrocious as-
sassination of his Priest of Honour, Don Martin Vi-
mina, Archdeacon of.Terragona, which took place the
4th Nay, 1821, after he had been judicially absolved
from the punishment of death; and without having cone.
witted any other crime than that o; an inviolable attach-
ment to the King and. Royal Family, and an indefatiga-
ble zeal for our holy religion and the rights of the throne.
His Majesty was then forced to confine tivhis heart the
unutterable ..ot row caused by his death; but wlsking, tipsy
that he can do it mote freely, to state how acceptable
Ito him were the services rendered by Don M. Vinuesa,
dui fag the war of independence, as well as since the
fatal re-establishment of the Constitution, has ordained,
Ist, That the Municipality of Madrid, after having ex-
humed the body of Don Vinuesa, shall transport it, with
all due solemnity, to the Royal Church of San Isidore
belonging to the Imperial College of the Company oi
Jesus, and that there magnificent funeral ceremonies
are to be paid it, at which deputations are to be present
from all the parishes and quartets of the Capital. The"
Patriarch of the Indies will officiate in pontificaliFus,
assisted by the Priests of Honour. A funeral oration
will be pronounced upon the defunct.- The musicians of
the Royal Chapel will attend. The ce:emony will be pre-
sided by the grand Major Domn, attended by. two mem-
bers of the various councils and superior tribunals of the
capital, and chief ecclesiastical and Military authot hies.
All the Generals now in Madrid are to be invited to be
present, as also the Royalist Officers and those of the
troops forming the garrison. After the funeral rites
shall have been performed, the body;is to he transferred
to the Royal Chapel del Buen Saceso, where it. is to be
deposited in a distinguished situation, with all the neces-
sary ornaments, and an inscription to make known his
heroism, Acc. This I make known,' &c. M. Perez
,ittam, who. ha 4 been sent by. the Government to To-
ledo, to
'rewrite into the ca,es•of the great number of
persons imprisoned there, and to set at liberty. eihcee
who were confined merely for their, opinions, continues
to execute hii duty with great e,eil.anti.tirmnes, not-
ithstanding the violent menaces. of a licentious and
ferocious populace. He has already set, at liberty a
great number of /dines; but none of whom rent4n in
the town for fear of
,assassination. Yesterday being the
anniversary of the King's return to Spain, the Be sainanos
(Reception) was very much .crowded; bpt it was re-
ntal ked there wete'but very,feW Of the superior French
Officers present, nor did the bands of the French regi-
t mri etas follow the exaMple of those of the Spanish; and
celebrate this event by playing Under theKing's.wiskiows.
It appears that his Majesty had resolved, that 4f:dr his
departure from Madrid, certain decrees shOtild be put
in vigorous execution for the further purification of the
Court and the capital, by the expulsion of various fami-
lies and individuals. A like Immure wars to hex° been
retorted to At Aranjuex, but it seems that in botli cases
his Majesty hai listened to gentler compels; and that a
great nira.ber of the persons designed will remain Unmo-
lested. However„it isahe general expectation or fear that
his Majesty's absence will be signalized by some novel and
singular measure. To-day the Queen, according to
custom, is to Wash the feet of nine. beggars,.and give
them a dinner afterwards. A great number of tickets •
have been distributed for this singular ceremony. Some
changes are about to take place in the Captain-General-
ships of the Provinces, Count Charles d'Espansetit is said,
is to assume the Governmet•.tiif Arragon, allan °trim
character being most wanting in that province, to
repress the outrageous exce4;es that are Hourly Commit-
ting there under the cloak of religions and loyal zeal.
At Valencia, on the 16th instant, Don Simon Allem,
a Lieutenant of Infantry, was degraded, and afterwards
.strangled, for having cried " # iva C'ontlituc!,;:t
He was condemned by the Mil !ary Executive Coin rnis-
st• on. The letters from Barcelona give an account of
some scandalous scenes that have taken place in the
Church of St. Monica. A Cordeiier of the name of Test,
took it in his head to preach a Sermon upon the re-
duCtion of the Ministers of the LORD, and the spoliation
of their property, sought to be effected by modern int.
piety, or philosophy.' As such a %ertnon as this was
likely to create an explosion, the authorities sent to the
church, a detachment of
troops and
gen-
darmes, and the preacher ascen2ed Cie pulpit, French

PARLIAMEN Y PROCEEDINGS.

Titis morning the Loan CHANCELLOR sat for Appeals at ten.
" Alder, Nicholson, and Young, v. the Rev. Joseph Watkins,"
'from the Court of Ch•incery, was first ordered for hearing. It ap-
peared that the appellants now complained of a decree made in
February, 1818, whirls originated in a Bill filed by the respondent,
who is Vicar of Norham, a parish situated partly in Northumber-
land ind partly in Durham ; and the object of the suit was to ob-
tain from the appellants, 'farmers and occupiers of land in that
parish, an account of the tithe of agistment, and of turnips, fruit,
poultry, and all other tithes, except the tithes of corn, grain, wool,
lambs, fishes, and mints. The decree now appealed from directed
the'appellants to account for and pay the value of the tithes. After
Dir. MARTIN and Mr. BATES had been heard for the appellants,
and Mr. SHADWELL and Mr. ltourm. for the respondents, Mr.
MARTIN replied ; when
The LORD CHANCELLOR called the attention of their
Lordships to what might appear to be irregularities in the proceed-
ings of the Court below. He himself held it of vital importance in

every cause coming before this tribunal of ultimate resort, that in
all particulars, and even to the minutest points of form, the pro-
ceedings appealed from should be entirely correct and regular. The
observation of Lodi Thurlow, that " forms are the fences of jus-
. .

rice," could not be too highly estimated, and he himself was aliso-
lutely convinced that no greater evil could befal the jurisprudence
of the country, than for that House, in the exercise of its appellate

jurisdiction, to admit any laxity of proceedings in this respect.
" Through good report," declared his Lordship, " and through evil
report, this, my Lords, is a doctrine, and this is a practice which I
will for ever and ever maintain ; and I therefore move your Lord-
ships to postpone your judgment in the present case until Monday
next."—Ordered.
In the appeal of " the Trustees of the late Sir John Lowther
Johnstone, Hart. v. Elliot," from the Coutt of Session, in Scotland,
Dlr. MURRAY and Mr. ABERCROMIIY were heard for the appellants,

111rasAv in reply.—Judgment deferred.
