FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

The- rench ministers having ventured to divide on the ques-
tion of the tobacco monopoly, were defeatedlby a majority of 101.
It is said that this division is not to have anyialfect on the sta-
bility of the administration: but we do not see how M. Hurnann
proposes to do without the two millions sterling which this mo-
nopoly brought into the treasury. In'Paris it is supposed that
this defeat of the administration will, in all probability, lead to
the rejection of the vote iu favour of the American claims which
the government expected.
The closing price at the Bourse, on Monday, were:—Three
per cents., 1091. sc. Three per cents., 79f. 50c.

SPAIN.
The Carlists claim some important victories in the north of
Spain, and it was supposed that the town of Ziga would surren-
der to Don Carlos.. Orders have been transmitted from Madrid
to shoot the twenty-seven Carlist officers lately made prisoners
on the coast. This is a dreadful system of warfare, but it is
adopted on With sides. General Llatider has arrived in Cata-
lonia, and issued a proclamation declaring his unshaken fidelity
to Isabella 11., and his hatred of the " 'sanguinary Carlists."

GERMANY.
Some of the German papers state, that conferences for the
pacification of Europe are to be held in London almost imme-
diately. Sir George Rose was expected in Berlin on a special
mission from the Duke of Wellington. The reduction of the
Austrian, Prussian; and other German armies is continued, and
it is directly attributed to the prospects of the stability of the
English ministry. " The English elections," says the Allye-
meine of the 12th, " have gone on in a satisfactory
manner, and they promise a long duration for the Peel ministry,
which, under present circumstances, is considered here (at
Vienna) as a happy event for all Europe." It is a sure pledge
of peace and tranquillity.
The functs at Vienna on the 7th were—Five per Cents., Ma ;
Four per Cents., 93i; Bank Shares, 1298.

TURKEY. •
We have news from Constantinople of the 21st ult., by which
.we learn that the intelligence of the departure of the British
fleet from Vourla, and its return to Malta, has occasioned a
great sensation in that city. The Turkish fleet was arming
with unusual celerity: we do not know for what purpose. The
gross mismanagement of Lord Palmerston in all affairs con-
nected with Turkey has imposed a• difficult task on his successors
in office. Au alarming conspiracy, it is said, has beep disco-
vered at Constantinople, and several executions have taken
place. The news from Persia assures us that all is tranquil in
that country; but the disordered affairs of the East have occa-
sioned many commercial failures, principally in Italy.

LONDON LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—TessnkY.

LADY HEWLEY'S CHARITY.
The appeal in this cause was opened this day, before the
Lord Chancellor, assisted by Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr.
Justice Pattison.

Mr. Knight proceeded to state the case of the relators, in
which, after going through the facts which have before been
alluded to, he argued that it was impossible, consistently with
the law as it had been established by numerons decisions in
courts of equity, to which he referred, to permit the charity
fund in this case to be diverted from what was the real object of
the foundress. He insisted that the profession of Unitarian
doctrines was not known in this country, and at all events not
so known as to be regarded with an eye of favour by such a
person as Lady Hewley was proved to have been, in the times
in which she lived. In support of this argument, he referred to
the statutes by which penalties were imposed upon persons de-
nying the doctrine of the•Triuity, which statutes were in force
for years after Lady Hewley's death, and which were in no
respect abrogated by the Toleratiuu Act of William and Mary,
which was passed in her lifetime. Of the provisions of the
Toleration Act she was perfectly aware, and it was in evidence
that the chapel of St. Saviour-gate, in York, at which she was
in the habit of attending public worship, was licensed under
that statute. It would be a violent construction of the words in
which she had expressed her charitable intentions to hold that
she meant to include in her description or poor and godly
preachers of Christ's Holy Gospel persons who denied the
truths of Christianity, and who were under the ban of the law.
On the contrary, the reasonable presumption, if it were neces-
sary to resort to conjecture on such a subject, would be that
Lady Hewley would, have been one of the last persons to coun-
tenance or encourage the promulgation of doctrines so opposed
to the religious tenets which she professed. The learned counsel
referred to the words of her will, to the funeral sermon preached
after her death, to the will of Dr. Coulton, and other contempo-
rary documents in support of this part of his argument. He con-
tunded it was still more strongly confirmed by her injunction,
that Bowles's Catechism should be read in tire almshouse; that
catechism, although of a character dissenting from the strict
doctrines of the established church, being nevertheless in
accordance with the received truths of Christianity, and con-
taining no expression which could be wrested to any meaning
in favour of Unitarian doctrines. He then read at considerable
length extracts from some of the sermons of-Mr. Wellbeloved,
one of the trustees, for the purpose of showing that he professed
Unitarian principles, and to the " improved version of the New
Testament," and to the catalogue of books recommended by
the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, iu which that
version was found, for the purpose of showing what were the
doctrines preached by persons of the Unitarian persuasion,
arguing thence that their doctrines were opposed to the com-
monly received notions of Christianity.
The further argument was postponed until to-morrow, at the
rising of the Court, at three o'clock.
