YORK CORPORATION.

Monday last, at a Meeting at the Guildhall, a
I'etition to both Houses of Parliament was proposed,
requesting them to exert their influence for the re-
storation to the QUEEN, of all the Rights and Digni-
ties which are due to her MAJESTY, as Queen-Con-
sort of these Realms.

The Right Hon. Lord DUNDAS, the Lord Mayor,
in bringing forward the business, observed, that
having been requested by several Gentlemen to in-
troduce the subject, in order that the propriety of
such a measure might be taken into consideration, he
had ordered that due notice thereof should be given
to all the Members of the Corporation ; and though
he well knew that on a Charter-day, any business
whatever might be transacted without previous notice,
yet he had taken this step, in order that it might not be
said, that the Petition had been smuggled in a corner.
The Petition was then moved by Mr. Alderman
HOrIIAM in a manly and constitutional address, and
was seconded by Mr. BEWLAY, the Foreman of the.
Common Council. The Loan MAYOR, however,
suggested as an Amendment, that the words "for
the restoration of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy if
the Church of England," should be introduced into
the Petition, prior to the words " all the rights end
dignities," &c.
This proposition of his Lordship was highly ap.
proved by Mr. HOTNAM, and gave universal satis-
faction, and the Amendment being moved by Mr.
Aides man Cu ALONER, it was seconded by Mr. Alder-
man DUNSLAY, and adopted unanimously.

RICHARDSON, GOODLITCK, and Co. respectfully

Year's Lotteries contains Nine Prizes of 1:21,000

CORN Excuaricr, MARX-LANS, JAN. 22.—Our Market was
largely supplied with all Grain this morning, particularly with
Wheat from Essex, the major part of which being of inferior
quality, caused a ready sale for prime samples, on full as good
terms as on this day week, but the trade was very heavy for all
other descriptions. lisirley is full Is. per quarter cheaper, in con.
sequence of the abundant supply from Suffolk, and at that de-
cline only the finest qualities could be dispo-sed of, although the
ordinary samples were offered at an abatement of .2.5. Beans and
i Grey Peas ars 21. per quarter lower, the qualities at market
being very large. Oats are Is. per quarter cheaper, and salts
are very slack at that reduction.

IJAIV INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY 20.
IMPORTANT CASE. •

MASTERSHIP OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, AT CAMBRIDGE.
This was an application by Mr. WETHERELL to
set aside the election of the Rev. 11. Godfrey, B.D.
as Master of Q:xen's College, in which situation he
succeeded the late Very Rev. -Isaac Milner, D.D.
having miglected to specify his qualification of £2O
jer year in land, requited by the Statutes of the
College, and the dech.tration, according to the Act
of Uniformity, previous to his admission to the Mas-
tership. Within ten days after his election, he went
into the Chapel of the College, where, kneeling be-
fore a single Fellow, he received his special bene-
diction, as necessary to his admission, a tacit ad-
mission of the insecurity of his first el.:ction; the
very act of so kneeling could never have been con-
templated by the foundrel, the consort of Henry IV.
„Mr. BLIGH, in addition, argued that, in conse-
quence of no new election having taken place within
eight days, the CroWn became entitled to nominate
a Ma:;ter.

The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated his opinion,
that the admission of Mr. Godfrey was not altogethet
incomplete, though attended with informalities of a
doubtful kind.

Mr. limn. appeared on behalf.of Mr. Mansell, to
enforce the same arguments, when
'rhe LORD CHANCELLOR said, it was necessary for
him to withdrew from the hearing till a future clay.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 20.
TYTHES.
ANTROBUS V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Mr. SCARLETT stated, that this was an issue di-
rected by the Lord Chancellor, to try the question
of the amoiint of tythe which the East India Com-
pany were liable to pay for the India-house and their
warehouses in Lime-street, called-the Coast and Surat
warehouses, to the plaintiff. who is Rector of the
parish in which these buildings are situated. The
Learned Counsel stated, that this question did not
vriginatc with the plaintiff, but with the defendants,
who, in 1812, demurred to pay the same amount of
t}• the which they had paid for eleven years previous;
the plaintiff had therefore been obliged to apply to
the Court of Chancery, where the cause had been

ever since, the East India Company not having paid
any tythe gt all during that period. The plaintiff':
was on the best terms with his parishioners, and had
never felt the most distant inclination to enforce the
right which he had to its full extent. It was well
known that, by Act of Parliament, the Clergy of the
City of London were entitled to 2s. 9d. in the pound
on the rental of their parishes. Mr. Antrobus had
never demanded that sum, or anything like it, or
had ever intended to do so ; but the East India Com-
pany had now taken the subject out of his hands—
they had elected to go before the Lord Chancellor,
and his Lordship had proceeded in the only way he
could with the case, namely, to make a question of
value of it, and it had been referred to the Master
to make the inquiry. The resultuf that inquiry had
been a different estimate from each party ; and the
Chancellor not being able to decide which was right
and which was wrong, had sent the question to a
Jury to be determined.
Mr. SCABLETT then proceeded to call Mr. Mon-
tague, Mr. Burton, and Mr. Robertson, eminent sur-
veyors, and several merchants and warehousemen, to
ascertain the value of the premises. The result of
the testimony given by these witnesses was, that the
ground-rent of-thiscite on which the India-house and
warehouses stood might fairly be estimated at E 14551
per annum, and the rent of the warehouses at £l9BO.
The cost of building the India-house v.-as estimated
at 1:509,000, and on this a rent of .€6028 ought to
be laid, which would give a yearly rent of 1.:9498,
on which sum the Company ought to pay the tythe
of 2s. 9d. in the pound.
The Souciron-GENEnit, on the part of the de-
fendants, contended, that the value of the premises
was greatly over-rated in this estimate, and that the
• premises were, in fact, not worth more than half that
sum. To prove this case, he called
Mr. Cockerill, architect to the Company, and Mr.
Pickering and Mr. Shaw, surveyors; the first of whom
valued the premises at the yearly rent of £3990, the
two latter at £4300 a-year.
After hearing Mr. Scaatzre in reply, and the
summing up or the CHIEF JUSTICE, the Jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff, fixing the annual value of
the premises at £5OOO.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

Wednesday, Mr.Jonst Bausrox, late the Manager
of the Brighton Theatre and Brighton Circus, came
up to be examined, for the purpose of taking the
benefit of the Act. In his exannnation he stated,
that he had held the Brighton Theatre for two sea-
sons, in the last of which the Theatre was a losing
concern, which he attributed " to this unfortunate
business of the Queen's:" the Nobility, who were the
chief support of the Theatre of Brighton, having
been detained during the greater part of the summer
in London. When he was arrested, his property was
all taken in execution, and the theatrical properties,
embracing all the " pride, pomp, and circumstance"
of mimic state, which has cost him more than £2OOO,
were thrown into lots by the Sheriff, and sold for
less than £.60 ! lie was, at the time of this sale;
fretting his hour" within the walls of the Fleet, and•
did not concur in it, or take any share in it, either

by himself or by an agent. I:lis Schedule stated,
that he had had ten children to support ; but he ad-
mined that the young lady who is engaged at Covent-
garden, supported herself by her own talents. There
appearing to be no ground for opposing Mr. Brun-
ton's divJiarge, he 'W:4S declared by the Court en-
titled to the 6enetit of the Act, and ordered to be
discharged forthwith.
