During the sitting of the Crown Court at Xarvborough on Thurs- day last, Lorl NOBBtR1 addressed the Crown Solicitor in that complimcntary strain for which hiis Lordship is so distinguished, concerning he general correctnesc with which the business of the Crown-office is transacted ; chatrging himn at thc same time, never acain o suWer any persos to take a prosecution out of the hanJs of the Crown by employing counsel in cases where the A ttorney-Ge- neral h2as directed a prosecution. " I do not allude," he addled, ' to any thing that is now going fbrW.qard, but you knou to what I allude." (The allusion is belEeved to have been made to she engaging of .M'r. Wallace at the last assi.es among the counsel for the prosecu- tion, at the suit of the King, against the police constables in ADl 'a- niel's case.) MIr. (:PAMBERLAIN WALKEit begged lea'.e to controvert the position. whiich he considered to be an encroachment up)n the privi- leges of the Bar. He was quite sure that a Ue;son interested in it pro)- secution had a right to e'iojloy counsel, whether the Crown took ut, the matter or not; and that the counsel so employed to assist theKing's counsel, had an equal ri.~ht to be heard. Lord NoassRBt.-Well. I a'n not going to argue the point with yotu. 1 only tell you, Mr. Crown Solicitor, to attend to what ;aAK WALKERE persistedl in rnaintaining whiat he considered to be the right of the Bar, anti he appealed to the Recorder, who was present. The REconDEa shook his head, but nothing dropped out of it worth being recorded. Mr. ARAnia\, w!'o is generally engaged on the part tf the Crown in criminal prosesutions, sait, that it swas tiot the timse to diiscuss the .ubject, as no cate was before the Court. Lord NoRnsutY.-I a.n always ready to protect the Bar afid its rights. AIr. 1rALXER.-rMy Lord,- it is in behalf of those rights that I have ntasle the allegation. Lord NontnuRY.yYou are not counsel for the Bar : they 4lid not employ you. ilr. WALK;Es.-I will v^rture to say that every mnember of the Home Bar corcurs in the view I hiave taken. Lord NORBusty ucissented frorm this obseriation. Air. MA.LX?R.-Let theni say so, if they dotn't. Here the matter ended for the prtsent, but we understand it tobe \lr.

The letters from Corunna ...
The Times, 1824-12-31T00:00:00

The lefters*rom Corunna state some carious fgcts. Three regihm tsavebeen sent from that port, not to the Spanish Maipi, but' fo the -Iavaunah, for the purpose of protecting btie merchants of that place against the Negroes. Such is the state of the Spanish Colonies in tle Western ,Hemisphere, that where they have not seeured their indq- pendence, or are engaged in the struggle, the brute force of the settlement is too powerful for the regular Govern. ment: and if the Negroeo and mero savages of tho islau d were eradicated, the wild, beasts would become too power. ful for the settlers. -'ThcrHda'sannah merchants, teo, it appears, had previously sent over money for the equipment of the troops, by which they werc to be protected. The Havannah merchants had more faith, if the story be true, than we should have had in their situation. Hewever, the troops, we presume, are gone. From feelings of general philanthropy, we wish them success; though great ad. vantage would no doubt txesult to the British West Ildian interest from the ruin of the lIavannah. We subjoint the substance of the letters:- Letters vere received yesterday from Corunna, dated the 11th instant, which state that the troops ordered-for thle Havannah sailed on the 7th. They consisted of three regi- ments, amountiing in the,whole to about 1,800 men. They have been seni, as is said, at the urgent entreaty of the merchants and planters of Havannali, for the purpose of keeping tlhe Negroes in subjection, as it was apprehended that an insurrectionary spirit existed among theta. They were compelled, however, to remit to Spain the money re- quired for tlze equipment of the troops before their request was complied with. So little ale is this degraded country even to furnish protectio) -for the few colonies left her although, if the Madrid Gazette could obtain belief, it would be inferred that Spain still possesses safficient power to regain those which lhave thrown off their dependence.

IlXe received last night the Pans papers of Sunday. They are chiefly filled with reports of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, an abstract of which we gave yesterday. A disgraceftl stock-jobbing man-auvre, it would appear, was at. tempted to be played off at the Bonrsce, by takinig advantage of the public anxiety with respect to the termination of the interesting dis. cussion. Persons pretending to conic from the Chan;ber in great haste, arrived on 'Change at ha.lf past three o'clock, and announced that the project of law for the conversion of the renfes had Just been I adopted by a majority of 62. A rise immediately took place in the funds, whieh after the regular hours of business reached the price of 103f. 70e. The trick was soon detected. The Constitutionnel mentions, that when it was announced at the Stock Exchange that no dividend was to be paid on the Spanish Constitutional loans, a tumult was excited by the holders of the bonds, who cried " Down with the loan of GUEBHARD !" A Corn- nuissaryofPoliceand a posse of gensdarmessoon restored tranquillity. The Afoniteur contains a notice from the Portuguese Consul- General at Paris, couched in the same terms as that which we lately copied from the bisbon papers, declaring that the King of PORTU- GAL will recognize no advances made to the present Government of Rio Janeiro. This is a timely warning to the bidders for the pro- posed Brazil loan. I tLONDON, WEDNESDAY, JTY 5, 1824.

In the.Paris papers, which arrived yesterday up to the latest customary period,>axe various debates, assertions, and contradictions, on the subject of the evacuation of the Peninsula by the Army of Occupation. The news that the French were to retire is " toogood to be true." They may be diminished-perhaps only changed. Yet the time for their removal must come; and then, if FERDINAND be allowed to reign in despotic dignity-so let him. The people aud their Sovereign will be worthy of each other, A monstrous tale is fabricated in a Madrid paper, against the unbappy men wbo have been recently executed at Coruana by the Governmeat. They are represented as hav- ing, (luring the existence of the Constitution in t823, carried out to sea and drowned, with circumstances of peculiar cruelty, between forty and fifty persons whose only crime was attachment to the unlimittedI Monarchy, the Inquisi- tion, &c. The details of the transaction savour strongly of romance: we do not believe a word of theni; but that no particle of doubt may exist in any mind, we call upon QUIROGA and VIGo, who are now in London, to contradict the report. The affair of the projected or rumoured indemnities to the emigrantc seems to agitate the interior of France. It is very true that a difference is made at sales, between a pro- perty of unbroken descent, " un bien patrimonial," and one acquired by the revolution. And we are not sorry that the pessessors of the latter should be a little sensible of weak- ness of their title. This may serve as a lesson to future revolutionists, and even reformers, at least to leavepro- perty inviolate, however they may tamnper wvith the politi- cal institutions of their country.

Nfr. Humz, in bis speech on Thursday night, touched 'but a nook of that unnatural impost, the Legacy-duty, WVe hope to see the whole of it laid aside for ever. We are aware that when the situation of the country allows tfe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEIQUSR to commence the agreeable work of remitting taxes, it may be difficult to make a selection among conflicting claims fot priority. Every one thinks that tax the most severe, and tbe most strongly dlemanding a repeal, to the pressure of which him- self, from his trade, profession) or situation in life, is most exposed: yet do we think a generad principle might be adopted in this respect, which would leave no just cause of dissatisfaction to any one. It is reasonable to conclude that those taxes to which the nation has alvays been sub- jected are mpst congefifal to the habits of the pcople, and ares borne *ith least impatience; but that those which are of a novel nature, and to the invention of which the MIi- nister was forced only by the exigencies of the war, are most painful to public feeling-most repugnant to natiotedl usage. Of this description is the L-gacy-duty. No impost of the kind was ever before thought of in England. It was a reproach of the most crafty and creiel of the Ro,man Emperors, that even death itself did not rescue the deceased from his rapacity, the tyrant being frequendy left a co- heir in the will. But with us Government is co-heir, in a greater or less degree,. to all the personal property of the kingdom, no matterwhether we die intestate, or efideavour to transmit what we had previously secured from i4 gripe of the.tax-gatherer, by a testamentary disposition: A,Other objection tit this tax is, teat it imitates tl# In. I core-tax in its most oppressive and odious traits.: it is .an inquisitorid tax. It not.onlv seizes a parcel of a 'ian's property which has b-eet coinvefted ilitO tbneqiatthls de- cease, but it enters his ransion, his countinghouse, and shop, and it th&reatiinaEes his 'tr,dh7'stoek, tlie iitensils of his business, its net pr'&uc' efcts'ie value of which itis often most injurious to- disclose, and it shares the amount with the legatee. The tax, however,wwith all this severity, is still a partial tax: it is incapable of being applied (and we 2Te thankful that it labours under this ixieapacity) tQ real property;- that is, it weighs upon individuals who are strragling with the winds and -waves of fortune, and endeavouring to reaeh a port oF security; biat from those who are arrived in that port) and are secure, it exacts no contribution, as a fee for the protection of the cargo-whioh.they have ianded.
