This is a misnomer; it was Jogial Tayhir who was indictedL Within about seven years, Josiah Taylor (who was oDce a banker) has been so successfal, as to be enabled to boast, that from being a. prisioner in the Bench he can give each of hi* three daughters 40,001.

We hate receivetl tbe: lStTi1e, slated Saturday, alld the ether Par4s journals of FOrilay. It is stated in an ariicl froiii Odeoisa, dated-July W, that Lord STThANGFORD was r.. thf ploint of returning to England, his Lordship having ''obtained permission'to repose, after the fatigue% of thel " negotiations in which he htas been engaged for some yearsI "past." The Etoile, afectiig to correct the reports which I have prevailed of an insuirrection in the mountains of Ronda and Estremadura, gives the following statement:-" On the3d of this monthl sofnc Constitutional Spaniards ap- peared before TaTifa. They had friends in the place, which was guarded by only s0 or 60 men, an(d Tarifa was given up to them. The first thing they did was to proclaim the Constitution. At the same time a conspiraCY was discovered in the Camp of St. R och,byGeneralO'DoNN E., wvh8 has delivered up the guilty to military justice. It was the mountaiieers of the' Sierra de Ronda themselves who put dovwn this movement. On the 4th an attack was attempted on Estepona. General LA Tou E FoIssac has sent two detachiments of troops to the two poinits where this movement manifested itself: it is confined to an insur- rection of 200 or 300 nmen." The Ejoile also contradicts the report of the yellow fever having appeared at Cadiz; and, finally, on the authority of an Augsburgh correspond- *cnt, states that tlhe King of BAVARIA wilb have an inter- view with the Emlperor of Austria at Schoenbrunn, in the month of Septomber niext. Later in the season his Imperial Mejesty will have an interview at Milan with the King of SARDINIA, which is suppose(l to have a political object connected with the affairs of Italy.

Sir,-I am a liceased curate at the rate of 601. per annum and surplice fees, in a parish containing nearly3,000 souls- a place by no means to be classed among sinecures. The Cburchwardetn has pres-zuted my residence, it being in a dilapiLlated state, (at my request), and the consequence is, that the Vicar has received a monition to repair it. He now wishes to dispense with my services, and to reside in the vicarage himself, merely for the sake of turnitig me out. As you are an acknowledged enemy to oppression, I beg, through the medium of your widely circulated paper, to have an answer to the followving quesLion fron somle oe your learned correspondents in the law :-" Can a Parson holding an endowed schcol (no matter whether he pur_ chased it, or was prescnted to it), leave that school to a deputy to carry on, and turn his Curate out of residence at three months' noticc ?"

Letters wiere received yesterday from Pernambuco, dated the 19th of Augast. Lord Cochrane, with the Imparial squadron from Rio de Janeiro, arrsived off Pernambuco on the 17th, to commence thei-M&ade ofVthe airlour, ari landed 1,000 troops at a place about six leagues to the southward. He thien sent in a communication to the fo- 1eign consuls, announcing, that in the event of a,protracted resistance, he had orders to destroy the harbour of Per- iambuco by sinking slhips laden with stones at its entrance, and requesting them to make this known to the different comnmanders of vessels in the port, that eaclh might pursue what course he thought proper. The situation of affairs within the town of Pernambuco was extremely aiarming to the foreigna merchants, and to those peaceful residents whliO took no share in the coutest between the Impe- rial and Republican party. Carvallio, the head of the latter, subsequently to the defeat of his forces in the inte- rior, had taken possession of the forts with the remainder of his troops, the strength of which secured him against any attack which could be made from the land side; and being a man of desperate courage, was expected to make a protracted resistance in the event of any attack from the Bay on the part of the blockading squadron. The whole of the interior of the province had risen in arms against the t*overnor, and were marehing against k'ernambuco. The ad- vices from the interior of Pernambuco do not come dowffi&A later date than the 19th, but it has been ascertained by a vessel which passed the port on the 31st, that Lord Coch. rane wvas at that time bombarding the town, and that he was warping his vessels,for the purpose of entering the bay, in order to approach nearer to the battcries. It is infcrred, therefore, that up to this period his Lordsbip had not carried into effect his threat of destroying the harbour, a circumstance whichl, by prevenling access to the town, would effectually prove the ruini of Pernambuco. Consi- derable uneasiness is felt by the merchants here connected with Pernamnbuco, for the safety of their correspondents and property within the place, from 3vhich they had no possibility of personal escape, even if disposed to abandon tle property committed to their cars, and wliici remained exposed to all the diestructive effects of the bombardmenit. , DRAZIL.

For somre time pazt the proprietors of the.gardens of the Alpha Cottages, Regent's-park, have beenrobbed by the mischievoas boys in the neighbourhiood. The facility with wihich tld robberics are efI%cted, and the impunity they had long enjoyed, embotlielscd those juvenile depredators to more dating attacks upon the property of the gentlemen ownbig the gardens. At last, the proprietor .ound it necetsary to-set a waMch; the result of' which was, the apprehen. sion of two bays of tile names of George Noore and John Cryle, whlo were onuTirsrsday nigl,t bronght before Alr.

He is succeeded by his eldest son, Sidi Has- sani Bey, wvithout opposition, which has becn announced by salvos of artillery Irom the castle and forts.' His brother Sadi Niustafa Bey, is at present in the couritry, collecting their revenue, which perhaps may be unfortunate for Sidi -Hassan, thev not being very good friends." Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Tortola, dated March 2 :-" There are three or four French men Of war in our vicinity, wherc they have been hovering during the last three weeks. One of them, a brigantine, fired two guns at the Europa, Rdtely,which sailed for Glas- gow on the 17th, shortly after sle, left this port, but on showing her colours took no further notice of her.

ZAW RE PORT. 'hiS day the-sittings after Trinity rernmfoFr rondon comrnenced before the LORID CHIEF JUSTicE and Common Juries. BARNES V. ANTHTOrNY. This was an action by the captain of ai East India ship against the defendant, a watchmaker, in Clerkenwell, and also an exhibitot of foreign ra,ities, to recover 351., the balance of the price of certain animals and a car sol..4 to him by the plAintiW. Itic'ppear'l that Captain Barnes last year brought 6ver witlh him from India two Indian bulls, twoland tortoises, a spotteddeer, and an Indian car called a hackeray. He agreed with lr. Anthony, who hafdl an exhibition in Pall-mall, to keep and exhibit them for him, on an understan(ling that they were to share the profits. The spe- culation did not, however, succeed ; and as Captain Barneswas about to return to lndia. he asked Ml\r. Anthony what he would give tbr the assortment7 nir,d hWe agryed to becomie the purchaser for 601. Of this sum he paid 151., and the action was now brought to recover the residlue. Mlr. JOIES, for the defendant, adnmitted the contract to purchase for 60L, but contended that this was subject to a set.oft' for the keep of the animals, for repairs and a canopy to the car, and for arrange- ments to illustrate the exihibition, which greatly exceeded the sum at which they were bought. He proved that the animals were kept at a considerable expcnse; that Mir. Cruikshank had been employed to paint their pictures, and that costly efforts had been made to attract the attention of the public to their meritsx in the-whole amounting to more than 1001. above the sum they had ever brought. Sir. GurnxEY, in reply, urged that it was clear, from all the cir- cumstances? that the 601. was given to settle the whole affair; and that by paying 161. the defendant had shown that such was his own view of the transaction. The LonD CHIEF J1USTICE directed the Jury to consider whe. ther the agreement forpayment of f01. was subject to the deductions now claimed, and whlich would annihil3te the plaintiff's claitm to recover. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff-IDamages 361. The other causes were destitute of interest. COtlRT OF KING'S BENCH. G'UILDHALL, JULY 8.

The observations of the LORD-CHANCELLO0, in ths case of LATIIAM,. a banksupt, reported in another column, deserve a earefiflperue.I. . Weare-glad to see that in fu- ture a distinction wilt be mtade between the fraudulent and the unfortunsate bankrcipt. We doubt whether the mere refusal of a ceitificateis suffi8ieut pu4idhment for the mer- chant or txader, -who has wi lfy;without probable chance of success, wasted the 'property ok his creditors in wild speculations; or who' has squasdered it in the mere se1fislh gratification of his tastes and .appetites. The wholesome severity of the old statutes -might usefully be applied to such cases; and we trust that the C}IANCELLOR, who has undertaken the revision of the Bankrupt Laws, will turn his attention to the possibility of devising some exemnplary punishment for a species of fraud, more dangerous than half the felonies which are deemed to be expiable only by death.

Taesday morning the Lords of His Majesty's mnost lonourable Privy Council asmenlole! in t'e Dacly Cuart of Lancaster, in the Exchlequer, WVestminsier Hafll for the trial of the Ring's coins in the pix of the lint, within the Tower of Lont1on. The Lords pleserit were--the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Presi. dent of the Council, SirJohn .Nchofl, Lord Colchester, lr.Wailace, Lord Bexley, und Sir Henrvs Russell. The numrber of persons qa2liiiedd to serve on the jury. to assay the coins of the realms as returned irom the Goldsmith's Company were read, nnd the foLloreine were swJrn and composed the j'ary: JRobert Mlakepteace, HIenry Chu ner, Thornas Ayres, James Een derson, lCdtnund Rumndell, Santuel isynes, Phlilip Gilbert, Johm Johnson, Percevtal .Norton Johnson, Thomas Hayrer, Walter Smlith, ana Johe Robinson. The LORD CRAxVCELTL.O addressed theni at some length, pointing out thc iinporuint duties they had to pertormi. to act between our Soyereign Lord the King, the 31&stcr of the Alint, and the public at large, to ascertain that ouly a prTper portion of allov was in oar different coins. His loTdship urged it very strongly u4ou the jury's attention, that they should be verv narticular in their trials and investigations, as it was very es- seniiJa that tbe English coinage should retain its bigh character, which it had obtained (br a great number of years. The standard upon which the go!tl coinage had been made was as long since as the year 1688, and for tfe silver coinage from the year 1728. The noble and learned Earl spoke very highly of the manner its which Lord Marybsroxgh had ff'ded the office of M1aster of t'ie lint, particularly t1e arduous task of the extensive issuing of the newr cinae: his lordshlip recomnmended 0toMr. Wallace, the nre. sentholder of that office, to pursue I,ord l?aryhornugh'splans. T'he learned lord recited the different aua of Parliamen.t which had been passed to regulate their proceedings, as well ts the lCing's writ for their assembling, &c. The Lords ol the Council, after the address of the Lord-Chancel- lor, adjourned till the evening, to give the jury time to examine the different issues of coinage which lnave taken place since the 23d of June, IS221, consisting of sovereigns, half sovereigns,-double so'e- reigns, hlaf crowns, and the different coinages called *Alaundy money" fbr the King's royal bounty. The mnelting of the dlifferent quaitities of the coinage, -o ascertain the proportion of gold and alloy which they contained, occupied the attention of the jury till near four o'clock, when Mr. Johnson, the assayist, reported to the jury assembled in the l)uchv (ourt of Lancaster, tlhatthe coinage issued hy LIord Alarvboroagh up 1O last October contained a feCw grains of gold mnore in proporton -than dlirected by the standard, and the is;uAs by 1Mr. Welflace - up to the- present time were in the same proportiap.
