1 KTOElMElRLimi) | Kftoport, I SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1837. 'k," re5ref t0 Perce,V that Mr. B. Hall, the patriotic .Member for the United Boroughs of Monmouth, Newport, »and Usk, has announced his intention of retiring from the representation of these boroughs at the next election. The Kf-»und of this step on the part of the Hon. Member is to be uun not in any change in the sentimehts of the electors, or {any lminution in the strength of the Reformers, but in the expense which, to the disgrace of the electors, is attendant on a contest for the fepresentation o £ these Boroughs. It is i ora f think that so excellent A representative should ^compe led to relinquish his seat by foe greediness and ra- "1 faCIty,° corruP* c°nstiteener. W«, Tiowe^ef, «M»ee*»hr ope t at r. Hall will have no difficulty in finding some onest and independent body of electors,—we say inde- ]ten ewt because we have reason to believe that the Mon- 11 mouth Boroughs are in the hands of interested individuals, w o ave very sufficient motives for keeping up the old sys- tem o expense,—who will be happy to do justice to his wort > and secure his services as a representative. At the (same tinje, we would anxiously press upon the attention of the egislature how much yet remains to be done to purify a°.i lnte8r'ty to the national representation. in Cornwall, Sir William Molesworth, who possesses the heart-felt good wishes of the great mass of the electors, is coippe e to withdraw from the field, because he is opposed "u 0r^s> resistance to whose will would bring down rum o the tenantry. No wonder the Tories are enabled to mus er so many votes in the House of Commons, though the nT ° i 'e Da''on a* '*rSe >s so decidedly opposed to them. 3fi»tUaf system corruption, and looking to the j s 0 °™C€ ^or a speedy return of their money, the Tory I ans ocracy are always ready to spend large sums at elec- J ions, an never did so more freely than at the last. Unhap- P' y t e field is still open to them. The Whig Government •ve one nothing to put a stop to the corrupt practices | P fC 'n so many constituencies. Yet, despite the ? h If0™ lke reform of the representation is as yet but a complete. Without protection to the honest voter, and Wit lout an efficient bribery law—and the present is a mere th^f t0 *"even* UI,due influence from being exercised over e ess conscientious—there can be no representation of the cop e, by which the popular interests can be secured."— | Sunday Times. We copy the above article from a journal of decided °P'n'0ns on the side of the people, which was their ad- i voeate in the worst of times, and which has recently I earned for itself so much power for its masterly and ter- | rible exposure of the great APOSTATE of the metropolitan ] press,-lls namesake, the daily Times. We agree with ■] Qur contemporary, that much remains to be done to ef- I Actually put down the old system of corruption, and Place the representation of the country upon a basis that cannot be assailed by the open bribery of some, or the lecret but still more dangerous frauds of others. We thtnk, and our opinions are on record, that the Legisla- ture should have interfered long before this, and enacted taw which would have successfully grappled with an evil that has grown-is growing-and, if unchecked, "ill cause the rank weeds of corruption to overspread a «%il <mj#luclt4WKfcJkaP" )U«ilL*n»iSLSf teed had been thrown." But, with an this, we contend, and hope to be able to prove, before we finish these re- r marks, that the law, as it at present stands, if not per- fect, is at least strong, and, if fearlessly and energetically put into operation, may be made to do much in favour of purity of election," by transmitting to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate persons who will dare to pervert the great purposes of the Reform Bill, and endanger the privileges of the electors and the liberties of the country. | Witlx all which the Sunday Times says, respecting Mr. IIALL, we entirely concur; and it is our earnest wish, and our confident expectation, that he will be called upon by a constituency, numerous and influential, to re- present them in the new Parliament; but we beg to tell our contemporary, that he is in grievous-we freely ac- quit him of wilful-error, when he asserts that Mr. HALL was.compelled to relinquish his seat by the gree- diness and rapacity of a corrupt constituency." Nothing can be more opposed to fact than this sweeping condem- nation of the electors of our United Boroughs. We ap- peal to the past, and, from its history, we would rest se- cure of the future-we would fling back the charge with all the contempt it would merit, if we did not feel as. suied that our respectable contemporary has allowed his feelings to master his discretion and sense of justice: his attempt at branding the faultless-the term is too t gentle-Ihe crimes of some upon the foreheads of all, is discreditable as it is unmerited. Who first called Mr. Hall from the retirement of a country gentleman-who rallied round him in the hourof difficulty and strife, and sent him triumphantly into Parliament, in despite of a gigantic power, and a machinery put together with much care, and woiked by zealous and skilful hands? Who, at the last contest, to preserve the independence of the Boroughs, when Mr. Hall was fifteen hundred miles from the hustings, crowded, gained a victory for their hottest representative, and upheld a principle which they were detei mined to maintain, not only with their votes but with their lives, if the temper and difficulty of the times demanded so great a sacrifice ? Who did all this we say ? Verily, the men now libelled and reprobated AS a greedy and rapacious constituency." And were they units-did they compose bu,t a small section of our people-were they like the remnant of a brave but de. feated band- If Few but fearless still 1" Fearless, indeed, they were, but not Jew, they composed the MAJORITY—they fought «nd conquetfd ? Never we believe, was more heroic devotion shown, and numerous instances could be cited where the worse than Vespatian gold had been spurned from the humble door of patriotic poverty, and a Spartan virtue displayed by indigent but higlr-ruinded Reformers. No, we can say with truth our constituency is neither "greedy nor rapacious; and the coming contest will prove them not to be recre- mis from their colours. There may be, we admit, some bau men-some depraved beings—in the boroughs, who would extend the tainted hand for the wages of iniquity, but they are few, we trust, and will be shamed or pu- nished into a better course of action in future. With the heavy expences of Parliamentary scrutinies, the ho- nest electors had nothing to do. If their suffrages were made to pass the ordeal of a Committee of the House, it «ras no fault of theirs, as the result showed their votes to be originally valid. In the coming struggle we know that the eyes of the country will be on them, we know that if they send into Parliament a representative of dif- .fglpnt politics from him who has so faithfully and con. 1 sjstently supported the cause of the people, they will, to a pertain extent, confirm the absurd charges now abroad -they will stultify their former proceedings—they will lose their glories, and be ranked under the some cate- gory as the base, the sordid, the miscalled freemen of Liverpool, who bartered their birthright for a mess of pottage. But vyho thinks so erroneously, so unjustly, of tho im of MppmoMtbsbire? f)0l tie, certainly* "ne) knows them so tohg and So well as we do. We have before spoken of the immense importance of the expected elections—we reUerate our words, tet the electors bear this in mind, that if the Conservatives again vault into the seats of power, the liberties of England are periled. Every man who has a vote should consider that all is at stake, and that, on the right exercise of his franchise, may depend the welfare of his country. Apathy and indifference, those mortal foes of all that is great and good in action, or manly in project, must be flung to the winds; every man must so comport himself, as if, on his individual exertidtis, tested the result of the contest. The fate of the country is in the scåle-Iet not the ba- lance tremble by the cowardice or venality of its sons. We alluded, in the early part of these observations, to the law against bribery. It will prove a powerful wea- pon, if judiciously and boldly wielded by the honest electors of the Kingdom. We will not linger on the list of offences that are punishable as misdemeanors under the common law, but look to the statute book to find what provision the Legislature has supplied; and we find that, by the 2d Geo. II., c. 24, sec. 7, it is enacted, that if Any person who hath, or ciaimeth to have, or hereafter shall have or claim to have, any right to vote in any such election (since 24th June, 1729), ask, or receive, or take any money or other reward whatsoever, to give his vote, or to re- fuse or forbear to give his vote, in any such election; or if any person, by himself or any person employed by him, doth, or shall, by any gift or reward, or by any promise, agreement, or security for any gift or reward, corrupt or procure any per- son or persons to give his or their vote or votes, or to forbear to give his or their vote or votes, in any such elecrion, such person so offending, in any of the cases aforesaid, shall, for every such offence, FOBFKIT THE SUM OF FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS of lawful money, &c., to be recovered as before di. rected, together with the full costs of suit; and every such offender, after lawful conviction, is to be for EVEn DISABLED FROM VOTING IN ANY ELECTION of Members to Parliament, and from holding or exercising any office or franchise to which he then shall, or any time afterwards may, be entitled as a member of any city, borough, town corporate, or cinque port, as if such person was naturally dead." Legal language cannot be more strong or explicit; and whoever be the wretch who sins in its defiance, it is quite clear that a fearful punishment may overtake him. This law has not slumbered in the depositories of our county. Its terrors have been invoked, and its penalties have fallen on more than one delinquent. There are many cases in the books, but we shall dwell a little on one which is as of yesterday, and which shows that it is within the province of any person, now it is consistent for the most high-minded men in the community, to place themselves in the van, and drag a culprit to jus- tice. The case to which we more particularly direct at- tention, is that of Henslow against Faucett, tried before Lord Abinger, C.B., at the Cambridge Spring Assizes of 1835. The plaintiff in that action, although looking for the penalties, and therefore coming, in the common ac- ceptation of the word, under the name of an informer, was not a lowly or obscure individual. He was a gen- tleman of the highest character in the University, the professor of botany, and a man immeasurably above the influence of sordid or selfish considerations. Mr. Hens- low had the patriotism to come forward, and, by making an example, to deter others from participating in scenes by which the borough of Cambridge had been so much disgraced. At the election when Mr. Knight (the emi- nent Chancery Barrister) and the present Chancellor of the Exchequer were candidates, the most flagitious bri- bery was resorted to-still without success, for the libe- ral members were returned. But success did not make honest men forget what was due to the insulted law, and Mr. Henslow came from the learned seclusion of his College to be a plaintiff in a Court of Justice: he brought an action for debt for £500, and the substance of his declaration against Fawcett was, that he had gone to one Gardner's house, shortly before the election, and had solicited him to vote for Mr. Knight; Gardner an- swered %ad said, that it depended upon circumstMices Piow hi should that the defendant the* in- quired if money,! would be a convenience to him, to which Gardner replied that it would. Then the defend- ant asked him it-E5 would be of use, to which he said, No, you must not treat me worse than my neigh- bours;" to which Fawcett said, I will give you XS now and f5 when you poll, and he then gave Gardner five sovereigns. Gardner then said, You have five and I have five;" to which the defendant said, you will now go and poll for Mr. Knight. Very shortly after, Gard- ner went to the committee of the other candidate, told them what had happenned, and voted for Mr. Spring Rice. These facts were sworn to by Gardner, but he did not state what his intention was at the time of his taking the money. The counsel for the defendant called no wit- ness, but endeavoured in his address to the jury to shew that the story was improbable, and the principal witness not to be credited. The Lord Chief Baron left the question to the jury entirely on the credibility of the witness, and there was a verdict for the plaintiff. The corrupt act was totally unknown to the learned candi- date, who is an ornament to his profession he would, no doubt, reprobate a recourse to any such base means of obtaining votes. In the ensuing Easter Term, Ser. geant Storks moved for a new trial, on the ground that the learned Judge should have pointed out to the jury the distinction between attempting to corrupt and actu- ally corrupting. The former, the learned Sergeant con- tended, was shewn by the evidence, but not the latter. The offence of attempting to corrupt, was, no doubt, a misdemeanor, but it was not the offence described in the statute, and charged in the declaration. But the Court unanimously overruled the objection, Coleridge J. going so far as to say, that if it were clearly shown that Gardner never intended to give the vote, but concealed the inten. tion from the defendant yet being so far moved by the defendant's act as to receive his money and conceal such intention, the defendant would still be liable. Let the would-be bribers of Great Britain "mark, learn, and in- wardly digest" this case, and to aid the process we will quote another not less strong case, which they will find in 1st Mieqon and Wellesley's Reports, 354: we allude to the casd of Harding v. Stokes. The action was in debt for a penalty of £50, incurred under the 5th and 6th William IV. c. 76, s. 54. In the judgment given on the demurrer in that case, it was held that bribing a voter by corruptly promising to give him employment in hauling stones at a certain hire as and for a reward to give his vcte for a particular candidate, brought the of- fence within the statute. Ransom and another v. Dundas and another (the celebrated Ipswich bribery case) 3,Adol- phus and Ellis, 123, gives us such valuable and striking points, that we must reserve them for a future occasion. We think we have made out our case, that the law, as it at present stands, can be directed, and triumphantly directed, for bringing to condign punishment those who will dare, by bribery and corruption at elections, to render, as far as they can, the Reform Bill a useless and inoperative enactment on the Statute Book. In conclusion, we deny, as asserted by the Sunday Times, that" the Monmouth Boroughs are in the hands of interested individuals, who have very sufficient motives for keeping up the old system of expense." We repel p and repudiate the accusation the representation of the Boroughs is in the hands of the electors themselves, who will submit to no dictation; and any man who would presume, in his self-confirfence, to dictate the choice of a representative, would be but a reed when opposed by the torrent of public opinion. Since writing the above, 1\1R. BLEWITT'S determina- tion to avail himself of the favour and confidence 01 the people as a Candidate for the Representation of the United Boropghs has reached the public ear, and satis- faction i, expressed in every quarter; the glad tidings Wtr. to the of JUformtt? by Air. Sletf iit. We call upon the Electors to rally round the suppbrler of those principles vhidi have become 50 identified with the brightest events in the history of ftp)* county. The Address of the Liberal Candidate, which reached our office at a late hour last evening,'will be found in another column, it is candid and spirit-stirring.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, THURSDAY EVI NINC.. By advices, which have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, we learn that a treaty has been agreed upon between the British Government aud the native chiefs, de- fining many points which have hithertd prored obstacles to the good understanding which should exist between the roo lonists and the Calfres. The settlement of the boundary question;—the prevention of acts of aggression on either side,—the restitution of plundered property,—the responsibi- lity of certain localities, and the protection afforded to the Caffres in the same degree as to British subjects, form the chief points of the treaty. A bill imposing a duty of 40s a-head on imported foreign cattle, had passed the Jamaica House of Assembly. CITy.-The transactions in Shares are confined to some two or three of the speculations. Great Western are at 41 per share, and Greenwich are at par. Southampton Shares are 9j discount, and Colonial Bank Shares 2J- discount.— Bank Stock has been very depressed this morning, having touched upon 203f it is now 2041. FOUR O'CLOCK.—Consols for Account are at 891, buyers Spanish Bonds are 25i ¡; Portuguese 47J 48 and Chilian 45 to 47. A report is current of the death of Don Carlos. No change has taken place in the relative positions of the armies in the North of Spain. The Star Chamber of France will shortly be constituted anew-as the trial of Meunier is to come on, it is now said, on the 8th of February.

Joseph Bailey, Jun., Esq., candidate for the represen- tation of the Monmouthshire Boroughs, accompanied by a number of genjtlfemen in the Conservative interest, canvassed this borough on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last. As there are various and conflicting reports relative to the success attending the polite application for the "sweet voices" of the eleciors, and as we would not wish to bias any, by pronouncing between contradictory opinions, we leave the decision of the important matter to the tiibunal of the hust- ings. Mr. Bailey canvassed Usk on Thursday, and was pre- sent at the Newport Ball last night. The Ball at the King's Head, Newport, last night, proved a brilliant entertainment. Full particulars shall ap- pear in our next. INFLUENzA-All the papers which have reached us from different parts of the kingdom, and indeed, every private letter contain accounts of the fearful effects which this now frequently recurring epidemic has produced in all parts of England. Unfortunately, our town and neighbourhood have uot escaped the contagion, but would rather seem to have been visited with particular severity. Our friends in the me. dical profession assure us that the number of persons now suffering from this most painful complaint, is larger than has been known in this town and vicinity since the prevalence of the more formidable Cholera Morbus. We are happy, how- ever, to be enabled to say that, although the complaint has assumed more painful symptoms than heretofore, yet that it is by no means likely to lead to fatal results. fjfAt a meeting, numerously and most respectably at- tended in the parish church of St. Woolos, on Monday the 27th instant, the Rev. A. A. Isaacson, vicar, in the chair, Mr. Thomas Price was elected organist of the aforesaid pa- rish on the resignation of Mrs. Desmond.—We have much pleasure in stating that a lady, agreeably with her usual liberality, has offered five pounds towards putting the organ in thorough repair, r n < In our last page we insert a highly classical produc- tion it proceeds from the pen of one of the most distin- guished men of the age, for classical attainments and deep and extensive learning in ancient and modern literature- from one of the greatest ornaments of which the Principality can boast; we need only mention the name of Archdeacon Williams,'rector of the Edinburgh Academy, the recent au- thor of an Essay on the Non Hellenic Portion of the Latin Language, delivered at Edinburgh, last March, and pub- lished in the 13th volume of the Edinburgh Transactions, a production which caused a sensation all over Europe, through the medium of the copies which have reached the different foreign Universities. It is highly creditable to our Scotch neighbours to have induced so eminent an individual to settle at Edingburgh, and we admit it is not a compliment to the dis- cernment of England, to allow such a man to be lost to the Principality. Pontypool Monthly Market, which was held on Wed- nesday last, was all we could wish.-There was a plentiful supply of fat Cattle, which realised high prices; £ 20 per head was given in more instances than one. Lean Stock was abundant and sold well. Sheep were not numerous, but met with a ready sale. Pios were plenty, and sold well. On Thursday the ei, entl,, annifet com y 0 mercial ball took place at the Beaufort Arms Inn, Ragland, which was attended by a numerous and highly respectable party of ladies and gentlemen from the neighbouring towns of Monmouth, Chepstow, Usk, Abergavenny, and embracing many miles of the vicinage to the place of resort. Dancing commenced about len, and was continued almost without in- termission until one o'clock, when supper was announced, which proved such as lefleded the greatest credit on the host, Mr. Evans, who has a great character in this way, after do- ing ample justice to the entertainment, and firing a volley of champagne corks, a pleasing indication-that trade is good, the company resumedthe exhilarating amusement, which they kept up with unahating spirit until about six o'clock Friday morning. The stewards were Mr. Jenkins, of Abergavenny, and Mr. Howells, of Chepstow, who considerably added to the general enjoyment, by their gentlemanly behaviour, and if we may infer "fiom appearances, we may truly say satisfac- tion was predominant at llagland Commercial Ball. On Monday last, J. G. George, Esq., and Mr. Thos. Swift, waited, as a deputation from the Reformers of Mon- mouth, upon R. J. Blewiit, Esq., at Newport, with a requi- sition, which was signed by nearly every Liberal elector in the borough, requesting that gentleman, in whose Liberal piinciples they reposed the fullest confidence, to allow him- self to be put in nomination at the expected dissolution of Parliament as a candidate for the United Boroughs, and pledging him their unqualified support. An apology is due to those electors in the Reform interest to whom the requi- sition was not presented for their signatures but the reason of the apparent neglect was the Very limited time which elapsed between the getting up of the requisition and its presentation. Mr. Blewitt received the deputation with the greatest courtesy and politeness, and expressed to them that he deeply appre- ciated the honour and felt the gratification which such a proof of the kind confidence his Monmoth friends evinced. Al- though Mr. B. could not then give a decisive answer as to whether he should accept the flattering invitations which he had received, yet sufficient transpired to enable the deputa- tion to augur the best results from the united applications which had been made. It gives us unfeigned pleasure to state that the spirited and honest Reformers of Monmouth intend to avoid putting their candidate to a farthing beyond the legal expenses of the hustings. MONMOUTH MECHANICS'INSTITUTION.—We are ex- ceedingly happy to state that this infant society is progressing far beyond the most sanguine expectations of its much to be commended originators. Several lectures on scientific and interesting subjects have been already given by some of the members, and the discussions arising upon which, have, we understand, been pioductive of very favourable results. Now that the festivities of Christmas are drawing to a close, we would again direct the attention of the young men of Mon- mouth to this institution, so deseiving as it is of their best support. We understand that arrangements are in contenrw plation for extending the advantages of the society in a much larger scale than has hitherto been done and that several public-spirited gentlemen have signified their intention of be- coming honorary members. We trust it will meet with last- co ing support. On Monday next, the gentleman who was appointed Delegate from the Anti-Church-rate Society of Monmouth, will proceed to London and take with him the petition which has been signed by the inhabitants of that town, against the vexatious impost. We trust that those persons who have not yet signed the petition will avail themselves of the opportu- nity without delay, as this is the last day upon which signa. tures can be received.—From a Correspondent, THE INFLUENZA.—This prevailing epidemic, we un- derstand, exists in Monmouth to a great extent. Two of the medical practitioners, with a great many members of differ- ent families, have been confined by its violence during the past week. We last week omitted adding the name of G. Cobb, Esq., to that of R. Willis, Esq., of Monmouth, as one of the kind benefactors to whom the poor of the parish of Rockfield owe their lasting gratitude for the repeated acts of charily and assistance they meet with from that gentleman and his family. Both, Mr. Cobb and his worthy colleague in every act of Christian benevolence, and one who has well earned the en- viable title of the Old English Gentleman," annually pre- sent the poor of Rockfield with a large quantity of coals and other necessary comforts.

Whole establishments have been affected, and in some instances the ordinary operations of business have been suspended. If we may judge from the London journals, there is cause for congratulation, however, amongst our fellow-citizens, that the disease has not assumed so serious a character here as in the nietiopolls--Bi-istol Gazelle. The Carnarvon Herald says that the return of Mr. Stanley (Liberal) for the county of Anglesey, is as certain as if won. The Marquis of Bute lately ordered a quantity of flannel and shoes to be distributed among the poor of Cardiff and Lantrissent and J. Nicholl, Esq., M.P., the sum of EI5, among the poor of Caidiff. We are most happy to record the liberality of the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Carnnyon, Lord Willoughby de Ersby in contributing one hundred pounds towards the pay- ment o( Depositors in the Carnarvon Savings Bank, which has been followed by a similar munificent contribution from Richard Garnons, Esq.; Sir David Erskine and Edward Carreg, Esq., have sent five pounds each.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER—HILARY…
COURT OF EXCHEQUER—HILARY TERM—1837. L EWIS, EXECUTOR OF TlIos. WtLLiAMS. DECEASED, "IÇ.J' l\!bll.n:u.EM. action-winch 'in tried at the last assizes for the county of Glamorgan, wbaftLytefendant obtained a verdict. In Michaelmas Term l £ t, n application on the part of the plaintiff was made to we Court4 under a recent Art of Parliament, which gives to the Court a discretionary power of exonerating executors from costs in actions instituted by them and a rule nisi was ob- tained, calling upon defendant to shew cause why he should not pay his own costs. The matter came on for argument this day, in the course of which it appeared that before the action had been commenced, Mr. Mai fell informed the plain- tiff that he had settled all matters with the late Mr. Williams and the following letter, addressed to Messrs. Meyrick and Davies, by defendant's solicitor, was read "Messrs. Meyrick an<i Davies, solicitors, Merthyr. "-ar Sirs,—Mr. Marfeil, of Lancayo, has consulted me upon the subject of a c]aim which you have made upon him for £ 300 and up- wards, alleged to be due to the late Mr. Williams, of Heolldu. Mr. •Marfeil, wh0 is a very respectable man, feels much hurt by the con- tents of your letter, which certainly would imply a doubt to exist on the mind of Mr. Williams's executor of the truth of the statement given by Mr. Marfeil, of the manner in which accounts stood between him and the late Mr, Williams, at the time of the latter's decease; and 1 am instructed by Mr. Marfeil merely to add, that I will appear to any process you may be instructed to issue against him. (Signed) W. F. GEACH." The Court was of opinion that Mr. Marfeil and his soli- citor had done as much as could be required of them to pre- vent the action being brought, and they discharged the plain- tiff's rule with costs. GEACIl v. HARDWICKE.-This is an action which was tried at Middlesex, at the sittings after Easter Term, 1836, in which the plaintiff obtained a verdict for f1128. 16s, the amount sought to be recovered by such action. The defence set up was usury, and the grounds of that defence were, that Mr. Geach had, at one period, in 1832, charged the defend. ant jEtO for the use of £ 150 for two months, which appeared, l>y ao item in his account, as rendered to the defendant; and that in respect of a great number of bills which he had dis- counted for defendant, he had charged commission at the time of discounting and at the time of payment, though such bills were all payable at Mr. Geach's office, by which he could have incurred no expense to justify the charge of Com- mission. It was also attempted to be shewn that Mr. Geach had purchased from defendant a property in Gloucestershire, at half its value, and that within a few weeks of defendant's having become of age. It appeared, however, upon the trial, that the charged upon the fl50 bill, included the ,EIO, so CI)al costs of a journey of sixty miles which Mr. Geach had taken at the request of defendant, and in which he was necessarily absent two days and the attempt to shew that Mr. Geach had made any unfair or usurious charge, entirely failed and with regard to the property purchased by Mr. Geach from defendant, it appeared to have been repeatedly advertised for sale before he bought it that it was, when Mr. Geach pur- chased it, a reversionary interest; and that it was the death of the tenant for life at an early age, and which could not t iHve W,4 foreseen, that made the property of increased va- lue. The defandant, however, obtained a rule nisi to set aside th; yerdict which now came on for argument. A great variety of tetters were read, shewing constant and urgent ap- plication! by defendant to Mr. Geach for pecuniary assistance, and whieS was invariably granted to the full extent of the security held by Mr. Geach. The Court, in giving judgment, observed J" theconduct of Mr. Geach, in the whole matter, appeared marked by a strong disposition to render the de- fendant every possible accommodation and was, in all re- spects, perfectly honourable and just, as between man and man and that the defendant, in his defence to the action, and in hit application for this rule, had been badly advised." -Tbe rule was discharged with costs. To the Editor nf the Monmouthshire Merlin. SlR,-t was much gratified on Saturday last, on reading in the Merlin an account of the Abergavenny Savings' Bank —gratincation equal only to my regret that so flourishing and rapidly increasing a Town as Newport should be without such an establishment;—and my regret at this circumstance, is not singular, for there are many of the industrious classes of this place who have to lament its absence. Will you al. low me thiough the medium of your valuable paper, to call the attention of the Inhabitants to the above facts, and to beg of you to use your best endeavours in effecting so desirable an object, and thereby confer a lasting obligation upon, Sir, A MECHANIC.

POLITICAL OBITUARY FOft 1^3^.—Daring the past year death has laid his hand upon three crooned heads; the Qifeen of Naples, the King of Saxony, and the ex- King of Franci-V—Fourteen deaths have occurred ifi the British peerage—viz. NiJo dukes, Gordon and Montrose; four earls, Egmont, Cathcarf, Trngall, and Dunmore; Viscount Clifden; Lords Stowell, Boodf Sondes, and De Saumarez; Baroness Rayleigh; and Lords Duf- ferin and Massy of the Irish representative peers; also, fotff prelates, Durham, Litchfield, Ely, and Killaloe. Eleven members of the present parliament have de. ceased: viz., Wad ham Locke, Esq.; Viscount Milton, Lord Robert Manners, Dorn. Ronayne, Esq.; E. Ruth. ven, Esq.; R. W. Hall Dare, Esq. E. R. C. Sheldon, Esq.; Sir M. W. Ridley, Earl of Kerry, lord Forbes, and Sir M. S. Stewart. The Rart of Bosslyn died a few days back, in his 75th year; and, on Friday, Sir John Soane deceased, at his house in Lincaln's Inft fields, aged 84. At a meeting on Friday of the creditors of Messrs. Foster, the bankers, at Carlisle, a statement of the ac- counts was made, from which it appears that there will be a balance of a sum of £ 7000, after paying 15s in the potincf. We regret ta fearn that the prevailing influenza has in no degree subsided, but that in both town and country its effects have become mocb more fatal than in the out- set.

By the death of Mr. Kavanagh, M.P. for the county of Carlow, a severe struggle will arise for the representa- tion,<>f that county. We are sorry to have to record another melancholy shipwreck at the mouth of the rivet Tay. The following are the particulars of this distressing event i—The sloop Success, of Dundee, Alexander Clark, mastef, which arrived there on Monday, reports," that he sailed from Holy Island on the 12th instant, in company with the sloop Grahams, of Perth, and they arrived together at the entrance of the river Tay on the 13th, about one p.m. It was then blowing a strong gale from N.N.E., with heavy squalls and snow showers. The Grahams, at this lime, was about half a mile distant from us, aud in the act of staying. As soon as she came about, a squall at the same time coming on very heavy, she gradually went over on her beam ends. As soon as I discovered it (says Mr. Clark) I tacked and stood towards her; but before I could reach the spot, there was no remains of ciew or vessel to be seen. When the vessel went down, the Buoy of Tay bore a W.N.W., distance about half a mile." The newly-erected building of the College of Sur. geons, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, will be opened on the 14th of February, when the Ilunterian oration will be delivered. Orders have been sent to Woolwich to prepare for embarking more of the Royal Artillery for the North coast of Spain.

By the Jamaica mail we have papers to the 15th Dec. The House of Assembly had been seriously engaged in forwarding the business of the Session. H.M. ships Madagascar and Galatea had arrived at Port Royal from Barbadoes. Sir Lionel Smith had given notice to all foreigners who had left their employments, and enlisted under the administration of Lord Sligo, in the police, that they should quit their corps on the 1st January last. The Captain-general of Cuba had announced the es- tablishment of the blockade of St. Jago de Cuba, with pesmission of such foreign vessels only as might be in port to return to their respective destinations. Large bodies of troops were marching towards St. Jago de Cuba, to force General Lorenzo to acknowledge the au- litority- of the Captain-General. THE AMERICAN TRADE —We regret lOleamTftat tlie latest packets from New York bring countermands to the principal orders now under execution for the Ame- rican Houses in this town. This decision, on the part of the correspondents in the United States, has been considered prudent from the great difficulty to which the American houses are subject in obtaining money wheie- with to meet their acceptances.—Birmingham Advertiser.

SIN ROBERT PEEL.— This distinguished individual arrived at Lancaster on Sunday evening last, about six o'clock, and remained all night at the King's Arms Inn. Shortly after his arrival the bells of the parish church gave him a welcome peal. Lord Lyndhurst has arrived in George-street, Hanover- square, from Paris. Lieutenant-General Sir Andrew Barnard, Clerk Marsh 1 of the Household, joined the hunt at Melton Mowbray, the attendance of the gallant officer on his Majesty not being re quired, owing to the King having appointed Commissioners to open the session of Parliament. THE INFUENZA.—The best medicine as a preventive and cure of chis extraordinary disorder, is the Balsam of Sperma- ceti, prepared by Mr. Woodhouse, Chemist to his Majesty. Immediately and most beneficial effects succeed a dose of this valuable family medicine.—Metropolitan Conservative Journal, Jan. 21, 1837. A permission has, it appears, been granted to the Jesuites to return to Prance, to establish seminaries in the noith and south. This has been done, it is said, at the solicitation of M. Guizot. DVEI.Immediotely after Colonel Parquin had been libe. rated, he crossed the bridge to Kehl, whence he sent a chal- lenge to Colonel Taillandier, in consequenre of the evidence the latter had given on the trial, one point of which (his al. legation that lie had taken Parquin by the collar) had made on that person a powerful impression. The challenge was accepted, and the parties fought, not on the German side of the Rhine, as Parquin had requested, but in the vicinity of Strasburgh, on the French bank. After a few passes, Par. quin was wounded slightly. He insisted on renewing the combat, and was run through the body, Hopes were, never- theless, entertaiued of his recovery.-Le Droit. A Natchez (United States) paper publishes a weekly list of deaths that have taken place in that town. with the names of the physicians who had attended the defunct. This is rather an insidious publicity. What would the physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, &c., of an English town, think of a similar mode of doing them honour ? INSTRUMENT APPLICABLE TO VARIOUS DISEASES OF THE LUNGS.—A. M. Maissiat has submitted to the French Aca- demy of Sciences an instrument, by which he proposes to convey liquids into the cavity of the lungs, or extract from it any gas or liquid, to hold it in a state of debilitation, &c., as circumstances may require. He has also invented, and laid before the same body, another instrument, which is an im- provement on cupping-glasses, and may entirely supersede the use of leeches.
