Mr. Serjeant 'PADDY moved for a stile in this case,
which was a !Head) of promise of mirage, to show
cause why the verdict should not be let said!, as
giviig excessive damages, 4,0001. The case bad
been tried in Hertford, before the present Chief Jos-
tice of the King's Bench. The promise had only
been, that he should marry her when convenient,-
-lie had been a printer, but had ceased to be one..--
Another person of the name of Consols had repro-
vented hint as worth 22,0001. or 23,0001. His own
ifiitlavit stated, however, that he had no more than
11 ant 3001. a year. Her father lived in Hatfield,
trade man of a very low order ; his father was a
printer in London, and was believed to bate been
adverse in the marriage.

LONDON MARKET'S, FEB. 3.

COTTON.—There was a considerable revival in the
demand for Cotton last week; the purchases of Per-
[tams were extensive, chiefly on ,peculation, and for
France: far home consumption the request was in.
considerable. The sales are nearly 2000 packages, of
which 1600 were Pernambuco at 24. a is. id.; there
are now no sellers under the latter rate; ►he other
purchases ware a few Berbice2lid. a 230.; stained
18id. ; arid in bond, 100 Surats were disposed of at
141 d. a 151 ; and 120 Bengalis 10,1 d. a 12d.
Streets.—The demand fur Muscovades was limited
until Thursday last, when a revived enquiry took
plats, both for exportation and home consumption ;
the demand was particularly for the new Sugars from
Demerara and Rerbice, the grocers and refiners pre-
ferring the new Sugars, and the shippers paying
mach attention to the bluscovades imported since the
sth of January, as the drawback no exportation is
now 30s. per cwt. in place of 275.: no materiaLim-
provemeut can, however, be stated in the prices, asi
the importers brought forward their Sugars freely,
accepting the currency of the market.
There was again a brisk demand for Muscovades:
the refiners purchased considerably, but the greater
proportion of the sales were for export : the buyers
still confining themselves to the Sugars newly im-
ported : the prices of strong and fine Sugars are a
shade higher.
There was a public sale of Barbadoes Sugar brought
forward this forenoon ; it consisted of 166 hinds. 49
tierces; the whole went off freely much about the
previous prices; the fine sold Is. a ts. higher ; good
white realized 91s. a ni. MI.; middling 87s.
89s. 6d. ; the remainder sold about the market pries
—yellow 82s. a 86s.
In the Refined market there was little business
doing last week ; the refiners were, however, firm,
and would submit to no considerable depression to fa-
cilitate sales. Molasse► were steady.
There is little businus doing in Refittedlibis fore-
noon; the orders received by the export houses are

OF LONDON NATIONAL SCHOOLS.

Yesterday, after the examination of the Children
in the Egyptian Hall, at the Matisien.hoese, the An.
nieersory Festival of the above Schools was cele-
brated at the City of London Tavern. At half. past
six o'clock the Lord Mayor entered the great room
and took the Chair, with his Royal Highness the
Doke of York on his right, and the Archbishop of
Canterbury on his left. About 400 Gentlemen sat
down to dinner. When Non Nobis had been song,
the Lord Mayor gave The King and Church,"
which sentiment was followed with God save the
King by the boys belonging to the Schools. After
this, his Lordship gave " Ilia Royal Highness the
Prince Regent." In giving the health of " The
Queen," his Lordship took occasion to advert to her,
Majesty's conduct with respect to the National
Schools. Glee—When order first. After the
" Health of the Duke of York," for which his
Royal Highness rose and returned thanks, the glee
of We needs must be good Subjeds, was sung with
great effect. The next toasts were " The Duke of
Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family" and
The Prince and Princess of Hesse-Homburg ;"
after which the Lord Mayor gave " Tbe National
Schools, and prosperity to them."
OLIVER HATCH, Esq. brought forward the Report,'
stating, that the receipts of the last year had exceed-
ed by between 3 and 4001. those of the preceding,
the Charity Sermons had produced a comparative ad.
dition of 1001. within the same time, and the Society
had purchased 5001. in stock doting the year. Per-
haps tiler. were Gentlemen who might think that the
sum of 1,9001. which had been expended in the re-
pairing and building of schools during the last two
years, ought, iu prudence, to be objected to ; but
the real fact was, that many of the Schools taken in
the figs( instance were dismally old, and that others
had required to be altered on account of the health
of the children.
Here Mr. Hatch mentioned, that amongst the
subscriptions and donations just received, the Bank
of England and the East India Company had con-
tributed 1001. each, and Frederick Webb, Esq. 1051.
About ten o'clock the Duke of York and the
Bishops left the company. The subscription was then
stated to amount to a considerable sum. Aldermen
Curtis and Ileygate, and Sheriffs Alderson and De-
stines were present.

which six children were in bed, and apprehensions
were entertained for their safety, but they were all

broke out; the engines had fortunately not left the

TILE KING V. WILLIAM AND CHANGE; DAVIE'.

At the sitting of the Court the Defendants were
- placed upon the floor to receive judgment, having
been found guilty on an indictment charging them
with endeavouring to provoke Captain• Percecel, of
the navy, to fight a duel. The Defendant William
Davies is a surgeon, and the Defendant Charles
Davies a Lieutenant in the navy; the latter haviaig
for some time Served under the Prosecutor when Mot

commanded his Ma•jesty's ship Echo. The rase s •
• postponed on a former day, in order to ascertain
whether the Lords of the Adiairslty, at whose in-

stance the proceeding was instituted, felt it necessary
to call for the judgment of the Court, on the ground
that the Defendant Charles Ditties, in particular,
had received many provocations from Captain Per-
feral, which had led him to commit this offence.—
The facts le.ve been frequently detailed, together with
the material parts of the affidavits on both sides.
Mr. DevstAs first addressed their Lordships on
behalf of the Defendants. He stated the gratitude of
hi 4 Clients at the indulgence that had been already
shown them, and their hope that the sentence would
not be rendered more severe because the delay had
been ineffectual—the Lords of the Admiralty hiving
thought it right to place the Defendants again on the
floor. It was clear from theaffidavitssof most respect.
able persons, that Charles Davies h•td received-some
cruel and even unprovoked insults from the Prosecu-
tor, while auperior officer of the Echo. Tile depo-
sitions of Lieutenant Hopkinson and others showed,
that while Charles Davies was a Midsnipmsn, the
Prosecutor had acted towards bim with most unjos-

tifiable severity ; not only disrating him, and turning
him before the mast, but twice summoning the whole
crew to witness the infliction of corporal punishment
upon him. Such conduct, an officer, and a mon of
Ugh feel.ng and honour, could not easily forget:
but it was not all Charles Davies :lad endured. When
be quitted the Echo,sand went on board the Impreg-
nable, the flag-ship of Admiral Young. Captain
Percentl pursued him with a agile of theft .and em-

benlement, in a letter written to Captain Mackenzie,
who commanded the ship. The consequence was, an
enquiry, for which, of course, Charles Davies was
eager, and in the leach he *as fully and honourably
acquitted. •After this imputation brad been so latis-

DISTRESSING STATE OF TRADE AT
MANCHESTER.

The following is an extract of a private letter from
Manchester, dated the Bth inst.:--
•' The markets were never known to be so over-
stocked with cotton at any former period as they are
at present ; and the daily arrivals of foreign cargoes
continue to augment the enormous stocks on hand ;
considerable sales are effected daily, both in the mar-
kets and by private treaty ; but the largeness of the
supply keeps the prices low. lam informed by a
respectable manufacturer, that notwithstanding the
extensive foreign. orders, both for twist and manu-
factured goods, the latter have not been so low for
some time past as they are at present. There are two
.causes Which tend to produce this, aisd operate power-
fully on the horse markets: first, the lamentable state
of her Majesty, which preir.trts many persons in the
upper walks of life, and most of those in a middling
station, from purchasing those articles of dress with
which they have been accustomed to furnish them-
selves, previous lathe approach of tits wiutar season;
aid, secondly, the markets are in eo small degree'
operated upon by the grkat body of retail dealers and
shopkeepers ;hrtreghoet the kingdom, either slacken•
ing or wholly suspending their pu►chases about this~
period, until otter their Christmas balances have bow
settled.' There is, therefore, every reason to calcu-
late upon the markets being brisker, and prices much
higher, by the end of January. The manufacturers,
acting under this impression, still continue to employ
all their kends to meet the expected demand. The
causes, however, which I have named as operating on
the markets, are equally detrimental to the poor
weavers, preventing the masters from making any ad-
dition to their sceuty wages. The poor felldws, to
their great praise, remain perfectly tranquil, work•
ing from four in the morning till ten in the evening,
and in some eases all night, in order to eke out their
scanty wages. They build greet expectations on an
amelioration being made in their forlorn condition,
as soon as Parliament meets, and are taking the best
means their distressed situations wilt allow, to bring
their grievances under the early omit: of that august
Assembly."

FRENCH PAPERS.

EZCIVII4OIII OF PAHA.
PARIS, Nov. .—At the approach of the last,
quidetion, it 41111$ remarked, that the operations of
several specelaiters surpassed their means t embarrass.
meets were felt upon 'Change; the liquidation be.
cense difficult ; and a considerable diminutioa netss.
eerily resulted in the price of the Stock.
Provisional measures have beets- adopted to attest
the mischief; sod some definitive regulations have
been decided upon to prevent its return. The Bank
of France hes discounted at 60 days daring the
whole of the liquidation ; a company of Etchange
Brokers displgyed. in these circumstances the most
honourable conduct.; and abundant means have beam
furnigked or secured. A body of the principal user-
chants, beakers, and capitalists of Paris, have spun-
taneotricy teetered into an engage/wet to parchese,
when •reqeited, several millions of retch. A sub-
*caption was opened to this effect, audit was imme-
diately accomplished. The subscribers of the late
loans eagerly took part in it. From the most atten.
five esemirtation of Ahem proceedingsi the fullest
conviction is entertained, that the rente (rennet test
upon a more solid basis, end it was solely the egsg.
geration of botneetary demands, ill-known sad ill-
judged, that produced the impediments. This trade
once known,. the utmost calm prevails, and efery
thing is changed. The liquidation paymetits are ef.
leered without difficulty. The ensuing liquidation
will not be attended with any : the true *it risen.
To prodoce this agreeable result, it wes not evert
requisite to make use of the resources afforded br
the union of the merchants, capitalists, and Woke,.
above-mentioned. This association continues. Their
confidence seconds the views and solicitude of the
Government in a laudable manner, and adds farther
to the mass of guarantees. All interests are united ;
only one sentiment and one end are 'forested, which
are the welfare of the State, and the support of a
credit so happily established and so firmly secured
by our political connezions, by our internal sitnetion,
and by the well-known state of oar finances.

REPORT

OF TUE COMMITTEE OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTION,
FOR THE EDUCATION OF ONE THOUSAND CHILD.
HEN OF THE POOR, ON THE BRITISH SYSTEM,
ESTABLISHED IN NORTH-STREET, CITY-ROAD, IN
1813, TO TUE GENERAL MEETING, ON AUGUST 4,

1818.
At the four previous Anniversaries of this Society,
the successive Committees have detailed the origin
and rapid progress of this recant Institution. Upon
those occasional they have explained its principles,
and vindicated its establishment. Those principles
they have announced to be, the Education of the
Poor of all religious denominations, on the new
and British System, combined with religion ; but
under regulations, which enabled all children, of
every religious sect, to partake of the benefit of the
Institution, without any violation of the rights of
their consciences, and with the most perfect freedom
as to their religious faith.
To these topics the Committee for the past year
will not further advert. They will not occupy your
attention, by labouring to demonstrate either that
education is a benefit, or that it should be connected
with religion, or that any attempts to restrict the be-
stowment of that benefit by sectarian prohibitions,
partake rather of the spirit of persecution, than of
true philanthropy. They would rather rejoice that
these principles are now planted in every region ;
that they have taken root not only in the British
Empire, but in France and Spain, and those parts of
Europe which had seemed less propitious to the
growth ; and that, even amidst the inhospitable
regions of the North, and the plains of the Torrid
Zone, the inhabi ants witness their introduction with
cheerful gratitude and smutting hope. They will
only, as they pass on, express their regret, that any
