A letter brought by the Albion, says " For 3
considerable length of time, persons interested in the

Government,• complaining.pf the unfavourable state
of their trade, and pointing out the impolicy of al-
lowing the citizens of the United States any further
privileges or. this subject; which; it is stated, would
totally ruin the Newfoundland Fishery. To these
representations, Ministers, it is said, replied,. that if,
in the Cornmercial. Treaty. whiCh was then about to
be arranged with America, such privilege should be
granted; Government; by way of bounty, wound
low Ss. per quintal on all fish cured at Newfoundland,
which would produce about £250,000 a-year. The
Treaty having been concluded, a deputation waited
on the CHANCOLLOA of the EXCHEQUER, who, ift
conformity with• what was before promised, agrcea
to allow the sum above mentioned.—What have we•
got in return for this expenditure from the Americans?

MANCHESTER, 'APRIL 3.
Trade here is in a most wretched state, and pre.
sent, it possible, still more gloomy prospects. The
orders expected to flow in upon us with the advance
of the Spring have fallen. off, and in consequence
mutual coufidencedecreasei, many hundreds of hands
have been discharged, and some of our factories, it is
even feared, will soon be compelled to suspend their
labours entirely. Ore
.great cause of the decline of
our weaving branches may he traced to the exten-
sive exportauons or cotton twist tiast have taken. plate
within the last few years, which, added to the mei-
gration of, Ouy.niechanks, has' enabled the northern
and other foreign Piwiers tn,martufacture those des•
criptions of goods for which they were before. coth•
pelled to apply' to this count. Had the Minister,
at the time the demand for twist became, sosenesal,
laid a heavy duty on its exportation, the Cotton Ma-
nufacturers would not have been reduced to the de-
plorable state in vhich they are now.
Letters have been received here to-day, dated from

Brooklyn, near New York, which state that the OA'
winter has been one of uncommon mildness, acid that.
vegetation is every where in a most forward state,.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRTI. S.

DAVIS L. Ms GRACE THE DUKE OP MARLBOROUGH,
LORD ftuDERT SPENCER, LORD SHAFTESBURY, AND
OTHERS.
Mr. HART, in this instance, moved for a reference
to Mr. Jekvll; one of the Masters of the Court, to
injuire anti report what timber was necessary or fit
to be cut down in Blenheim-pavk, excepting such as
was more immediately for the shelter and ornament
of the Mansion-house. The Bill was filed by Mr:
Davis, whu was an annuitant for £155 a-year, Ire
having paid a valuable consideration to the Duke for
that in 1811, and the annuity being agreed to by
bath parties to commence at the death of the late
Thlte. The present Bill stated, that all the plaintiff
wished was, that the trustees in whom the property
was vested might be at liberty to cut down such
timber as would pay the arrears oldie annuity, which
were very great. A serious question had arisenelse-
where between the Duke and his son, relative to the
cutting (foals of the timber, but into that he would
nes enter at present, All that his client desired was
team the Munster s report, that thul it might be seen
ss hat eneld be done.
Sir ARTHUR PIGOOTT, Counsel for the Duke, con-
tended that etis motion was not called for, and was
also in opposition to an injunction granted by the
V4e-a4ncellor. What were real ornamental trees
or:stot was a difficult question to answer, but lie must
argue that the present motion went to dilapidate the
beautiful estate of Blenheim, and to make it a fright-
ful waste. But what grounds had the plaintiff for this
motion? Why, he bad an annuity of. £155 a-year
from. the Duke ; but for that he had only paid £999,
and that sum teas paid on a post Obit bond. The man
who dealt in such bonds ought to reflect, that the
Court-would expect to see he had given a valuable
consideration for it. But while the Attorney General
and the Marquis of Blandford, &c. were parties to
the case in the Vice Chancellor's Court, where that
Learned Judge refused to dissolve an injunction
against the Duke for cutting down trees, why had
they not been made parties also in this Case ? Was
it net important to the Marquis of Blandford, &c.
that no person should be allowed to cut down timber
and to dilapidate the estate ? Never had a motion
been brought forward on such flimsy pretexts, and he
therefore had no dcubt it would be dismissed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Oppretsed as my mind
is with the very awful duty I am in a few minutes to
be called to discharge elsewhere, allow to me beg you
will not call for my judgment till some day next
wiek. 1 have a serious Recorder's Report to attend
to."—Judgment postponed.
ICZNNYSON V. THE EAST-INDIA COMPANY.

The facts of this case were shortly these :—The
Plaintiff was Lay-Rector of the parish of Se. Botolpb,
Al.,lgate, in the City of London, and the defendants
were Directors of the East India Company, pos-
sessing a considerable number of warehouses in the
said'parish. A decree was made in March, 1818, by
the Master of the Rolls, which authorised the value
of tithes payable by the defendants to the plaintiff to
be taken. Three surveyors were named by the plain-
tiff and two by the. Company, who were severally
examined as witnesses, and their depositions pub-
lished. In the last long vacation application was
made by the plaintiff to die defendants to allow two
surveyors; in addition to the former, to enter and in.,
spate the warehouses ; but this was declined by the'
defendants, on which application was made to the
Vice-Chancellor for an order to compel the defen-
dant,- to do it ; and they thinking the application a
most extraordinary one, resisted it. The Vice Chan-
cellor, however, gave an order to refer it to the
Master to inquire and report whether such inspection
was necessary; and against that order this applica-
tion was made.

This day judgment was given by the LORD CHAN..
chum( in fAvour of the Plaintiff, against the East-
It.dia Company, by which he cm enter their Ware-
Luuses, confirming the Vice-Chancellor's judgment.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL &
MAMMY.% V. !MAN AND OTHERS.

Mr. BARIUM moved for an injunction to restrain the
defendants_ from publishing or selling copies of Mr.
i'.44thews's " Trip to Paris." It appeared from the
aZdavits that Messrs. Mathews and Arnold having
proposed to two literary gentlemen to compose some
er.terttainment for Mr. Mathews to perform in public,
ti:cr produced the manuscript of his " Trip to Paris,"
;or which Messrs. Mathews and Arnold paid them
Gie sum of f:600; and that the same was taken down
is short hand and published by the defendants, with-
out plaintiff's authority, and were now selling and in
great numbers to the prejudice of the plaintiifs.—ln-
.nit.tion granted.

HEREFORD ASSIZES, MARCH 0.

%MOAN JENKINS V. CHARLES, LW. AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment preferred at the Glamor-
ganshire Quarter Sessions, in January last, by Mr.
William Jenkins (Clerk to John Wood, Esq. of Car-
diff) against William Richard and Thomas Charles,
Esqrs. Bailiffs of Cardiff; Joseph Wheeler and Philip
Woolcott, Churchwardens ; and Mr. Edward Priest
P.ichards, Solicitor; for a conspiracy regarding the
making of a Poor's Rate, which was icund a true
bill, and afterwards removed by the Defendants into
the Cwt of King'S Bench.
I?.r. CAurar.t.l. opened thc indictment, and Mr.
D.1.1413Ve (the witnesses on both sides having with-
cirarm fopm the Court). shortly stated the case on the
part of the prosecutor.
Mr. Nathaniel French, the younger, of Cardiff,
zr.tn-c= (one of the Overseen of the Poor), was then
caled, and underwent a long examination, but in
tl.e course of his cross-examination by Mr. Taunton,
Mr. DA interposed, and addressing himself
to the Coat, raid—" I do not think, my Lord, we
hare mnde pet sati:;factorily or clearly the charges in
tt is inetictnaent. We might call witnesses to prove
that this man has stated, who may not, from what'
Lai passed, be believed—but we do not think that
even proving all that be bar proved. we could call
tv2on the Jury to convict the defendants upon this in-
dictment—we shall, therefute, consent to their ae-
spinal."
fair Wrtir.rmit GAnnow--" I think you have exer-
cised an ertreeney sound and proper judgment; but
J e4nnot stiffer this caxe to end here, without making
• thew olr.ervations All for a conspiracy
is.no light roamer. A 'ion-Action kr a •ecnispitoncy
consizlis a man to absolute infamy. 11 he had pre-

tipusly been apsetssf:limitty arid:Ointerpr, this is
matter of little lonseque.bce.. as is my opinion, if he
were to.tte,eanvietejti of coo.spitooy;ht.m4gbt as well
sup
be eerietretw:tcrieeibe *n •of,deldi.. If the poor
of 0001-11avelleit 'ex trdistebssed-if they
have gen isedtetscrfol orblatziour—there are

persons to whom that it to be attributed.; but upon
the ovidenceiwhich we have head to-day, I am
bound tosay that this is not attributable to any of
the Peiioni. who 'foie-beg Made the subject of this
indictment for conspiracy. I 2m of opinion, from the
evidence which we have heard, that in point of ho-
nour and of character, these Gentlemen will retire
from this Court in honour and in character as unsul-
lied, unimpeached, and as tittle broken in upon, as
they were before this indictment was instituted. I see
%in their conduct nothing to disapprove, but much to
commend; and if there'has been any thing of party,
any wish and desire to traffic with the rates, I am off''
opinion that is not imputable to the defendants.—
Whether there are any otheri who on their retirement
from this'Court may feel the justice of the charge
against themselves, it is not fin me in this place to
state ; but I take it for granted, Gentlemen of the
Jury, that you have long since tlickught that this pro-
ceeding has gone suite as far as it ought with any
deg.ree of propriety.
The Jury declared their assent to his Lordship's
observations, and immediately found the Defendants
Not Guilty.
His Lordship then Legged that all expressions of
approbation at the acquittal of the defendants might
be repressed, as, however strongly felt by the spec-
tators, they were at any time unbecoming in a Court
of Justice.

STAFFORD ASSIZPS. . •
NON•AUTHORISZD APOTIILCARIES.-At the Stafford
Assizes a cause was brought on at the suit of the
Apothecaries' Company against the son of a man
who had been originally a gardener, but who ?ad long
exercised the business of a cow leech and quack doc-
tor; the son claiming a right of following the pro-
fession of an apothecary, through having studied un-
der his renowned father. In the cross-examination
of the father, by Mr. Dm/may, he was asked if he
had always been a surgeon ? The witness appealed
to the Judge if this was a proper answer ! and whe-
ther he must reply to it ; and at last said, " I am a
aorta." Mr. DA ODOM asked him to spell this word,
which he did at several times; viz.—" syurgent,
sur-
gend, su,gunt, sergund I" Mr. DAuicay said, "I am
afraid, Sir, you do not often take so much time to
study the cases which come before you, as you do to
answer my question." " I do not, Sir."—Witness
said he never employed himself as a gardener, but
was a farmer till he learnt his present business. Mr.
DouNeav said, " Who did you learn it of r I
learnt it of Dr. Holm*, my brother-in-law, ; he prac-
tised the same as the Whitworth doctors, and they
were regular physicians." Mr. Dovicav—" Where
did.they take their degrees?" Witness—" I don't be-
lieve they ever took a degree." " Then were they
regular physicians r "No: I believe they were not;
they were only doctors." "Oily doctors! were they
doctors m law, physic, or divinity r " They doc-
tored cows and other things, and humans as well."—
sledge, to witness—" Did you ever make up any me-
dicine by the prescription of a physician?' " I
'ever did." "Do you understand the characters they
use for ounces, scruples, and drachms?" "I do not.
" Then you cannot make up their prescriptions from
reading them ?" " I cannot; but I can make ut as
good medicines in my way as they can in their s."
" What proportion does an ounce bear to a pound?"
(A pause.) " There are sixteen ounces to the pound ;
but we do not go by any regular weight: we mix
ours by the hand." " Do you bleed?" " Yes."
With a Seam or with a lancet ?" " With a lancet."
"'Do you bleed from the vein or from the artery?"
" From the vein." " There is an artery somewhere
about the temples ; what is the name of that artery ?"
" I do not pretend to have so much learning as some
have." " Can you tell me the name of that artery r
"I do not know which you mean." " Suppose, then,
I was to direct you to bleed my servant or my horse
(which GOD forbid) in a vein, say, for instance, the
jugular vein, where should you bleed him?" "In
the neck, to be sure." The Jury almost instantly re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages ISO..

SURREY ASSIZES.-KINGSTON, APRIL 3.
HATCNZTT V. COLIMA:I.

This was an action against the defendant, for ig-
norance and misconduct as a cow-leech, by which he
poisoned five cows of the plaintiff. The plaintiff
was a dairy farmer, and the defendant had formerly
been a veterinary surgeon in a Dragoon Regiment,
and now practised as a veterinary surgeon and cattle
doctor. The plaintiff's cows had the mange, and
defendant was employed to cure them, which he un-
dertook to do. He accordingly washed their skins
and the diseased parts with a certain medicated wash;
th 2 consequence was, that in about a quarter of an
hour the cows began to shew symptoms of great ill-
ness—they became tremulous, sweated, lay down,
their tongues swelled and lolled out of their mouths,
their eyes were inflamed, their bodies swelled, and
in a very short time they all died. In the opinion of
the witnesses this effect was occasioned by corrosive,
sublimate used in the wash.

Mr. MAIIaYAT, for the defendant, contended that
the medicine used was not the occasion of the death
cf the animals, for he should prove what the ingre-
dients actually were. lie accordingly called the lad
of the defendant, who stated, that the ingredients
of the wash were rock alum, white vitriol, tobacto
water, and meadow dock, boiled altogether. The
witness stud, that he did not know that his master
put any corrosive sublimate into the wash, but he
had corrosive sublimate in his shop.
The Jury found fot the-plaintiff--Damages £6O.
