In our Logt we made a mistake respecting thc export duty on corn, in stating it to be on back wheat, beans, peas, and wheat, 20f. per last; basley and oats, lOf.; and rye, 15f. It should be 020f.; Under date, Batavia, 10th July, it iS announced, that during the visit of the Governor-General Baron Van der Capellan to the llo- lucca Islands, his Excellency published at Banda, on the 29th of April, some new repulations, the object of which was chiefly to abo- Jish the unnecessarily oppressive laws relative to the m-onopoly of the spice trade; more accurately to determine the territory of the islands; to prevent arbitrary proceedings bv the offlcers, and to ensure a more upright administration of justice; for which end the Goveraor-Genaera resolved- 1. The residency of Banda shall, henceforward, consiMt, besides the Banda islands of the following islands, viz.:- The east part o?Great Ceram, with the islands of Kelffling, Ceram Laut, Gisser, Goram Key, ard Arou: and in general all the other little isLands to the cast and south of Banda. 2. There shall be a Council of Justice at Banda, to determine on provisional regulations for the police, and civil and criminal admi- nistrations of justice, in Banda, which the Governor will promulgate in the sequel. 3 and 4. All the laws, regulations, &c. tending to protect the ex- isting monopoly of the spice trade, especially in nutmeg9 and mace, shall be maintained in their rigour. All other laws, and which owe their origin to tbis monopoly, but dlo not tend to protect or maintain it, shUll be abolished, and are hereby declared to be null and vsid. The remaining articles are more particular, and detail the re- gulations. BRUSSELS PAPERS. TtRFTI;.';Pf,.q- Oi,.,r- MY

I am a ittle surprised at the city officers (who atre known fbr their vitrilattee) not driving them under the gate- way of Sergeanrt'-inn thereby giving the public a free passase, as well as the shopkeeper, who have, iT common with the Judges, loudly complained. The mast etfctinal tnethod of ridding the street would be. by sc- lecting three OT Ibur of the most troublesome for rrosecutioa at the sessions, hy indictmert, as a public nuisance, the expense to be equally borne by the shopkeepers who are annoyed byt-hem: I would cheerfilIly contribute may share. But this trouble and expense to the shopkeeper may be obviated bv y our inserting this letter; as it may then catch tne attention of the city law officers, who may takc it upl. I arm.

(From the-Journalidu Commerce.) A lamentableaccident occurred on Saturday last, at ten o'clock in the morning, at Ronchamp, near Befort. The subterranean air of some coal-mines near t4at place suddenly took fire, with a dreadful noise, and in a moment all the passages were choked up by the fallen earth. Twenty persons, amongst whom was the master of the mines, who had entered a few minutes previous to the ex losion, were taken out dead. Four persoa!s, grievously wounded, were also found but we are still ignorant of the exact number missing. A man and his wife, who had run to save their son, also became victims of the disaster.

Sillings in Banco. eMr. ticrgeant t'ELT. moved for a rule to show cause why the de. tendant in this case should not be discharged out of the custody o1 the Sheriffof Worcester, on entering a common appearance. rhE affidavit on which this application was made stated the following facts :-_The defendant is a widow woman, residing at Rock, in the county of Worcester where she possesses a house and garden. On one occasion she solni some of the produce of her garden for 41. 19s. Not receiving the money in the time she had reason to expect, she applied to the plaintiff who is an attorney practising at Kidder- minster, ant] requestea him to write " a lawyer's letter" to the party indebted to her, but not to proceed any farther, as she had not money to go on with a Law-suit. The plaintiff, however, instead of the gentle stimulant of " a lawyer's letter," aptilied a more power- Ful medicine to rouse up the tardy dispositien of his client's debtor. HIe brought his action at law, which went ox to trial, and a ver. liet was given for the debt and costs. Like many others how- tver, who go to expensive law-suits for smnall sumlis, the wldow got uly a verdict. Itclid not appear that the verdict was productive of ts ob ject, for it turned out in a short time afterwards that the plain. iff made ,application to the defendtant for his costs, amoulting to no ess than 901.; and when the widow and her son came to his naM,. respectlng It, ttle attornev wanted her to give him a mortgage on her small property to secure its pavmen'. Upon her refusing this, the plaintiffarrested heron an affidavitofa debt exceeding o01. The poor widowr,not being able toprocurebail for such an amount,went to prison, where she continued until after tho trial of the case at the next M'orcester assizes. On that occasion the plaintiff was nonsuited and now the widow rejoiced, for she anticipated that her imprison. ment would be at an end, and that she should be restored ngain to lay." The plaintiff wa.s defeated in his action, but not conquered in legal tact. l3e laid a detainer on the widow for the debt, with the avowed purpose of moving, in the course of the next ternm, that the nonsuit should be set aside; and at the same time again sent in his former bill of costs. The next term came, and no such mo- tion was made, and the widlow remained up to the prestnt moment in the gaol of Worcester. It was under these circumstances that she sought relief by tie present motion. The COURT expressed considerable indignation at the conduct of the plaintiff, and granted the rule to show caus-, and at the same time ordered it to be stated, in addition to the affidavit, whether the plaintiff was an attorney of that Court; that if he were, the Court might make such fuTther order respecting him as the justice of the cise might require, unless a full and satisfactory answer were given to all the allegations of the defendanets uffidavit.

kvzr24an a;.rWson came up to receive tbe judgMent of the Court. Alr. Commismioner HAluRTS, in the absence of the Chief Commis. sioner, observed that out of the insolvent's debts, amounting to up. wards of 7,0001., 6,0001. had been contracted by putting his name to accommodation bills for another, with whom he had been con- nectel in transactions of that description, without having had any property with which to meet them at their maturity. Such conduct was not to be endured; the judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that he be confined within the walls for eight calendar months, for having fraudulently contracted debts without any probable means of paying them. James Hitchcock was opposed by Mr. COOXE for a creditor named Jones. It appeared that the insolvent petitioned. the Court in 1822, and after referring it to the provisional assigniee, the Court dismiissed the schedule. The former petition, however, hating re- mained on the file, the present was of course dismissed. INT,SOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. SATURDAY. APnTT.21

Sir,_1 shall be particularly obliged by your insertion in your valuablejoumal of the followsin statements, in replr to some severe and unfounded strictures in a Sunday paper of the 18th ult., on the subject of the ladies who visit the prisons of the metropolis, and also on the Equitable Loan Bank. With respect to the circumstances related in the paper alluded to of a number of female prisoners being lately conveyed by a Chat?iam coach, and whose conduct was stated to be indecorous, and "full of penitetcee anid playfulnets," it is due to those ladies who hare shown Fo much zeal for the improve- ment of prisoners of their own sex, and who. without neglecting any domestic or other duty, have devoted to that ohject a portion of the time which many bestow on their own indulgence, that the public shoult] be informed that no such prisoners have been sent by any conveyance from any of the prisons visited by the ladies for several nsonths past; and then in hackney-coches to Deptford, and conducting themselves in the most orderl manner. Although en- tertaining a very difi'erent opinion fTon- the editor of the Sunday paper, of the merit. of the Equitable Loan Bank, I should not have made any observation on that subjecedid I not fel it due to the lady whose name was introduced, torequestthe favour of your inserting an unqualified contradiction of that part of the article which couples her name with that intirtution as, not only wsawhe.ldAy-so aliedlto ir. no way concerned in the origin or formatldi of it, but she wa.S ac- tually one hundre'd miles from London during the whole time, and ignorant of the existence of such a plan, undl after it was announced to the public. I believe few persons have a more correct sense than her.self of what is becoming her sex ard station, and perhaps it is not asking too much in soliciting from gentlemen and men of education tht exercise of that delicacy and forbearance towards fe- malesl which becomes theirs.
