Jenny Lind's progress westward is as brilliant as ever. She is everywhere enthusiastically received, and is acquir ing very large sums of 'nonce. But it is a curium fact that she is followed liertinaaously by a band of speculator' from place to place, oho buy up all the tickets they can and then sell them again at an enormous profit. There seems to he no way by which they can be prevented. One of the topics of the hour is the detention of the Pacific for a week beyond her time, in consequence of her late accident on the passage homeward. Some efforts are making to get up a Galway line of steamers, but the impression here is like that in England that it will not pay. The ocean voyage might be short e ned, h u t ever y sensible passenger would rather remain a few hours with his ship than make a land journey acmes Ireland, and a disagree able trip across the channel. Be.iilev, no (nights could bear this titre czpensc of transportation. A steam company ha■ been organised in this city in con nexion with some foreign capitalist* to ply between New York and an Italian port. It is supposed the line will be in operation on the course of eight month., with a temporary service ad ireterifm. The names of the parties here have not yet transpired. As I was about closing this despatch, I learned by tele graph from New Orleans, that advice% have been received there from Mexico, to the 21st of July. Revolutions were breaking nut in all direction% ogain.t the present adminis tration. It is said that the British minister had notified the Mexican internment, that if the claims of the English erediturs were not settled before the sailing of the next packet, decisive mesourea would be taken. A similar de claration had been made by the French minister. A riot occurred in Toronto on the night of the 2tth of July. The Anti-Clergy Reserve Association held a meet ing which was called by the mayor, in St. Lawrence Hall. The high church party called a meeting for the same hour, and addressed the mob in the most in- ilamnsatory language, inciting them to break up the anti clergy reserve meeting. The muse proceeded to St. Law rence Hall, and attempted to force their way up stairs, but were driven Mack. They then prevented others coming out, broke windows, and attacked several persons. The mayor received a cut over one of his eyes by a stone. The Riot Art was read, and the military called out. The mob finally dispersed, without loss of life, about two o'clock next morning. Our money market is quite stringent. Exchange is some what dull. The Franklin, howestor, will take out about 1100,000 dol.. specie ow freight. The Pacific will not leave until the 6th of August. LA PLATA AND BRAZIL. (A .aramary of the fallowing, mciired by electric tele graph, appe.red in yesterday'. tapresal: 1(10 JANF.IIIO,JuNr.I9. The Brazilian steamer of war, Golfinho, arrived here from Monte Video, on the 15th instant. She brings dates up to the 4th, and front Buenos Ayres to the 2nd. The Gollinho's news is itnportant. The province of Corrientes had declared itself in favour of Crquiya, annulled the authority which it had given limas for the administration of the foreign affairs of the confederation, and sent all its troops to reinforce Urquiza's Lanny. Crquira had formally declared war against Itosas, and published a circular to that effect, a copy of which had been transmitted to every governor in the interior provinees. General Eugenie Garton acknowledged the go vernment of Monte Video, and was nominated general-in-chief of the Oriental forces. The general was at Concordia with a force of 1,200 men, which was hourly inervnaing in numbers, and it wasconfi dently expeetcd that in a few days he wouid have from two to three thousand men under his e tmmand. Orate had concentrated his entire force in St. iota, continues! desertions of his men having rendered their removal from the herders of the river a matter of necessity. A letter from Buenos Ayres states that it will lie impoasible for Itusas to amenable more than 4.500 men at Santa K., and that a large proportion of those were disaffected ; a fact, adds the writer, of which Rams is perfectly aware. It was expected that the squadron under ('La ' s command would sail on the :th for Uruguay. The Brazilian squadron, under Grenfell, was to ascend the river on the :oh. General report here in Rio says that Crquiza was bought over by the government for nu less a Mint than afX) coati's de reis. It is uso hinted that Oribe is open to proposals, or, rather, has made proposals which the Bravilimis arc at present deliberating upim. This, however, may 1w false, but in any case there appears to be good reason for belief that - the reign of Rows is well nigh at uu end. Most prolrably the nest latest news from the River Plate will be by the Brazilian mail steamer Severn, due at Southampton on the 16th inst. The Severn will bring news front Buenos Avres up to the 4th ult., from Monte Video up to the Ith ult., and from Rio up to the 15th ult. The Severn will be the first strainer that will arrive at Southampton since the new arrangement, by which the arrival of the Bra zilian steamers at Southampton is dated on the 16th of the month instead of the 12th.

AGGREGATE TENIPERANCE MEETING AT ST. MAR 111.1.8.11ALL.—Last night an aggregate meeting of the friends of the temperance movement was held at St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre, to hear addresses , chiefly by some of the men of Preston, on the subject. Mr. Joseph, Liveisey, of Preston, long a well-known ad vocate of the cause, was elected to the chair After a melody hail been sung by the Welsh choristers, who occupied the platform, the chairman addressed the meeting in praise of tectotali.m. The temperance movement began in 1832, but as much of the drunkenness arose from ale drinking, it was found that the remedy fell very fur short of the evil. The chairman's attention was called to a further remedy by the example of Benjamin Franklin, who found himself more fitted for hi. work by drinking water than by taking beer. lie turned his attention to the value of malt liquor as a beverage, and found that in two shil lings worth of ale, the real value of the barley contained in it was but fivepence, and that in the process of malting and brewing four-fifths of the nutriment was lost, a discovery which at the time astonished him. In 1832 he therefore began to advocate the discontinuance of the use of ale and wine as well as spirits, and many in Preston adopted the pledge of total abstinence, and found that work could be done without malt liquor, and from this time the movement spread to other parts. Since then a change had taken place, but still it was only partial, and many who were opposed to drunkenness were in favour of ale and porter, and therefore attempts must be made to counteract the notion in favour of the necessity of these beverage s. They must demonstrate to the public not only ' that these drinks are bad when in any state of purity, but that they are essentially bad. All fermented liquors were bad moderate drinkers took more than drunkards, and were worse: it was moderate drinkers who caused the great evil.—Mr. T. Walmsley was next called upon. lye had been a teetotaler since the commencement of the cause, and the more he read and knew about its cause, the more he loved it. To carry the cause of teetotalism would be the moat glorious revolution the world ever saw, but the greatest obstacle to teetotalism was moderation.—Mr. Swindlehurat, the next speaker, said his object in visiting London was to endeavour in the metropolis of the world to do some good for the poor, benighted, sottish portion of the great city. London boasted the blessings of almost every society for the promotion of Christianity,—and what slid we see I Why, it was the very sink of iniquity : it abounded in drinking shops, breweries, dancing .gluons, and everything else cal culated to allure the unwary.—Robert Charnley, a reformed drunkard, next addressed the meeting, after another Welch melody bad been sung, and spoke of the blessings of &heti acne* to him.—Mr. Catlirall and Mr. Whittaker followed, and a collection was then made to defray the expenses which had been incurred. A letter from the proprietor of the Surrey-gardens, complimenting the good conduct of the 2i,000 teetotallers, was read, anti after the usual compli ment to the chairman, the meeting broke up. IRELAND. Drams, Aeneas. 7. The public dinner given to Mr. A. O'Flahcrty, M.P., by his constituents in Galway, on Monday last, is described as having been attended by sonic two hundred gentlemen. Mr. Keogh, M.P., was a guest, and the speeches of the two hon. gentlemen were, of course, the leading features on the occasion. The demonstration could not be considered as a poli tical one, almost the only topics discussed being the prospects of the town in relation to the railway just opened, and the packet station which it is expected will be established there. The Galway Vindicator says that the Right Rev. 1)r. French, Roman catholic bishop, has been at tacked with paralysis, and remains without hope of recovery ; and as that prelate is very aged, and has lung been very feeble, it is probable that an oppor tunity will speedily be offered for a " breach of the law" in the diocese of Kilmaedough and Kilfonora. The alarm about the potato blight is renewed this morning from various quarters. The C'ork E.raminer, however, remarks that the worst ac counts have all come from the sea coast, and that in the interior the crop seems to be nearly quite safe. The Limerick Chromcle says: The potato fields in Limerick have not suffered any blight from mist or rain, as those reported in certain re mote districts in the county of Clare. The potato market is abundantly supplied, thus early, so low as sd. to Gd. per stone, and in the vast quantity exhibited there is not a dis eased potato to be seen. The injury inflicted on the turnip crop by grubs is said to be very considerable and general. Yestet day the Encumbered Estates Commissioners refused to make absolute the ccnditional order which had been obtained for a sale by one of the creditors of the Earl of Glengall. The chief commissioner said : The creditor was not one who affected the inheritance, but, as he understood, who affected the late estate of Lord bilengall only; and the question had been raised, whether an encumbrancer of the life estate could be an applicant fur the sale of the estate when the encumbrance affected the inheritance, three being encumbrances to a sufficient amount. The 19th section of the act provided, that, for the purpo-es of authorising an application fur sale under that act, the land should nut be deemed subject to an encum brance when the sale would not affect the inheritance. Now, if a person read that section. and no more, it might be supposed that that court was put in motion for the pur pose of selling the lands of those who were effecting such encumbrances ; but, from the 56th section, it appeared that the word "encumbrancer" should mean any person entitled to such encumbrances, or entitled to require the payment or discharge thereof. The sale, therefore, of the Earl of Glcngall's estates will not be taken out of the hands of the trustees appointed by the special act obtained for the purpose in ISI3, but will be carried on under that act in the office of one of the Masters in Chancery.

Accord ing to promise, the clerk of the course caused the enclosure to be well watered previous to the commencement of the races, and the dust was effectually laid until between 4 and 5; after that, however, it became as annoying as ever. Having taken our counsel in this matter, we will venture to suggest to the authorities that a proper telegraph, and an efficient person to attend it are indispensable to the carrying out of the business of the course.

EQUITY COURTS.-YESTERDAY. DIVOII MO LOUD CoIIADCOLLOIL IN THE MATTI:A Ur ELWES, A LI,NATIC.-APPO or Comxtrrar.a. His lordship, after observing on the circumstances at tending the case of Mrs. Elwes, said he had carefully consi dered the written proposal sent to him on behalf of the lady's husband, and another sent by her brother, Mr. Sykes. It appeared strange that the husband, who stated that he applied first for the assistance of this court on ac count of his great age and consequent infirmities, and ina bility to take the same cam of his wife that he took of her before, should now propose to be the solo committee There was no doubt that, although he provided a separate residence fur her, and lived apart from her for four or five years, he acted towards her with the greatest generosity and kindness. His reason, he said, for nut visit ing her was, that he could nut bear to see her in her mental affliction ; which was also a reason, one would suppose, against his proposal to be the committee. What his lord ship would du on both petitions was this: make no order on Mr. Sykes's petition, and on Mr. Elwell' petition he would direct the usual reference to the Master in Lunacy, to approve of a lit person to be a committee of the prison of this lady, the husband of course proposing himself, and with leave to propose another person to act with him, and with leave to Mr. Sykes to attend before the Master. The Master may think it proper to see and consult lady as to her feelings in respect to the person who may be proposed and should it be thought necessary for him (the Lord Chan cellor) to sec her, lie would do so. Iv THE MATTBIL Or MILS. HEVCSON, A LUNATIC. ALLOWAN( E OUT or A LUNATIC'S ESTATI: TO RELA TIONS._ Ills lordship said he found it difficult to ascertain the origin of the power of the court to deal with the property of a lunatic. In all the cases be found the court acted with great caution, and exercised the power only in those casts in which the lunatic might be presumed from circumstances to dispose of bin property in favour of relations. There was nothing more agreeable to people than to be generous and kind with other persons property, and for that reason people consider it very harsh to refuse them. In this cast, assuming that he had jurisdiction, he found every other circumstance favourable to the application made to him. This lady is rich enough, having an income exceed ing 4,000/. a year, and I,•An. out of that income allowed for her own maintenance was ample enough to afford her all the comforts she was accustomed to. She has one sister and one niece and a nephew. Tu the sister she used, when of mind, allow 201. a year, the niece had no allowance. The nephew is a clergyman, laudably employed in spreading Christianity in India; and the application is to allow hint 200!. a year out of the lunatic's sur plus income. Ile is her heir-at-law, and he is also one of her next of kin. There is no evidence of any disposition being ever shown by his aunt to be generous in respect of him. It has not been shown that he was ever an object of her care or consideration. In such a case it would be an abuse of words to speak of exercising the juris diction of the great seal in respect to the property of a lunatic. If any will existed in which it might be seen that this lady made any provision for this gentleman, or if there WAS an affidavit showing that she ever used any expressions of kindness towards hint, or showing any disposition on her part to exercise liberality towards him, his lordship would in that case be disposed to make tho order that WAS asked for in his favour. (The order thatiwas asked for was, that 200/. a year might be allowed to the gentleman out of the lunatic's income as stated in this journal in a former report.) BUISTOW C. NEEDLIAM.—BREACII OF TiteST.--E.LSTI. TI:7IUY. His lordship gave judgment in this case also. The plaintiff was a trustee ot property of which the def ndunt was a testui que trust, and both agreed, as it appeared to hint, to commit a breach of the trust by selling out the trust property. There was no doubt at all events that the money was applied for the benefit of the defendant. In such rases the cestui que trust is compelled to make good the trust fund. The authorities in point are " Booth v. Booth," and "Greenwood v. Wakeford," (both in I Bevan, I'_'•i and 176), and " Lincoln v. Wright " (4 Beavers, 4'27). If the de fendant would give a mortgage on Isis property to make good the trust estate, the plaintiff might be satisfied. The de fendant has tittered to give a mortgage on a lease he holds from the crown, which he states is all he has. Itis a lease under very considerable arrears of rent, for non-payment of which and also for non-repair of the premises the lease may be forfeited to the crown. It was referred to the Master to inquire whether it would he expedient to continue the lease, by paying the rents, &v. The Muster's report, that it would be expedient, was objected to by the defend ant, but Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was of opinion with the Master that the lease ought to be continued and adopted as security by the plaintiff. Ilia lordship being of the saws opinion, confirmed the order. RIYORIt IFILD CIIANWOkTII (VICK-011NCEI LOR.) EGRItTON r. BILOWSLOW.-PETITION. lOU TIM ALLOW- ARCH OF CERTAIN SUMS OF MONEY IN CHARITY. Two petitions were presented in this ease that the receiver might he ordered to allow certain small sums of money out of the Bridgewater estate for charitable purposes, and a sum of 3,000/. for the repair of Ellesmere church. In support of the petition afßdavits had been filed to show that these allowances had always been made by the family of the late Duke of Bridgewater and by Lord Alford, the last tenant for life of the property, and it was asked that with respect to the charitable allowances the order might be made without a relerence to the Master. Mr. J. Itussell and Mr. Clifford, Mr. Elrusley and Mr. C. appeared on the petition. Lord Crauworth considered that the court had power to din ct the receiver to make such allowances and payments os the owner of the estate would himself he most likely to make. Il• would therefore grant the pentium, but the advance for repairing the church ntust be referred to the Master fur his approval. BMA.' IrtmenssolLum Tea.vra. ..... THE LosDON AND NORTH-WEST/11LN RAILWAY CON WINE Y. THE OXFOHD AND BIHMINGIIAM JUNCTION RAILWAY 4:01111..1.NY.-INJUNCTION. This was an application for an injunction to restrain the defendants front proceeding, under the compulsory powers of their act, to take possession ..f a piece of laud forming part of the land of the plaintiffs, and uver which they had constructed a portion of their branch line into the town of Birmingham. Mr. Bethell (with whom were Mr. Willcock and Mr. Speed) said that un the ith of August, 1846, an act of par liament received the royal assent, by which the plaintiffs were enabled to construct an extension branch of their line into the town of Birmingham, and for that purpose to purchase certain lands, including the piece of land in question. Having übtuined their net, the plaintiffs forth with proceeded with the construction of their extension branch, and had long since completed the same. It ap• peered, however, that by an act of parliament, which re celeed the royal assent on the 3rd of August, 1816, the de fendants had been also enabled to construct their line over the piece of line in question. Having lain by, and allowed the plaintiffs to construct their line upon the land without opposition, they hail very recently served the plaintiffs with notice of their intention to take the piece of land for the construction of their line, and for that purpose they had proceeded to execute a bond and deposit the value of the land in court pursuant to the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. They had then attempted by force to possess themselves of the coveted land. Fortunately, however, might had proved to be on the side of right, and they had been de feated in their attempt. The plaintiffs, being desirous of avoiding a repetition of such attempts, now came for the protection of a stronger arm, namely that of this court. Mr. Bolt, on behalf of the defendants, disclaimed all intention of a forcible entry upon the land in question. All that they desired was to secure a right of crossing the line of the plaintiffs at that point. Ibis Honour having advised an amicable arrangement of the dispute, rather than a continuation of litigation, the following order was taken by agreement between the parties : The London and North-Western company being willing and offering the Birmingham and Oxford Junction company to cross the London and North Western extension line on the piece of land mentioned in the notice which had been served upon them by the defendants, and which was , thereby required to betaken by the Birmingham and Oidord Company, in such manner and under such regulations as might lie arranged under the provisions of the order, and the Birmingham and Oxford Company accepting such order, refer it to Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the de fendants, and Mr. Stevenson, the engineer of the plaintiff's, and in case they should differ, then to an umpire, to be nominated by them, to settle the mode of such crossing, and the regulations ne cessary for the purpose of making and using the same; and also to settle the compensation to be paid by the Birmingham and Oxford Company in respect of the user of such crossing by them; and in 'taking such settlement the parties were to have regard to the provisions of the acts of parliament of the two companies mentioned in the plendings and affidavits, so far as they are applicable to the subject matter of the order. No order as the costs of the motion. PREROGATIVE COURT.—YESTERDAY. Barons Si. 11. J. Forr. WILLIAMS AND CHOI:LED O. CL - RIMANI. The learned Judge delivered his judgment iu this case, this morning, a notice of which appeared in our journal on the 12th July last. The Court said the deceased, Mrs. Jane Frances Boote, was an unmarried lady, lately residing at Nottingham, who died iu April, 1849, at an advanced age. Ifer nearest relit lives were a nephew and two nieces, the children of a Mrs. Grey, the deceased's sister, and the property liable to I distribution, in the case of an intestacy, was 21,0001. per sonal property, and a small real estate of trilling value. The testatrix appeared to have executed several testamentary papers, and the last of these was the will dated the 26th February, 1848, now propounded, and a codicil dated in January, 1849. Before considering the effect of these papers it would be necessary to advert to the history given of this lady in order to arrive at the reasons which induced her to make any alteration from the original disposition of her property in the latter years of her life. Mrs. Boote had lived in Nottingham all her life, and between her and her sister, who died in 1842, a great degree of affection existed, which affection was continued to her nieces anal nephew down to at least a very late period of her life. The first will was made upon the death of Mrs. Grey, and the e ff ect of that disposition was to give that lady's children, four in I number, the bulk of the testatrix . * property, to be divided equally among them. It unfortunately happened that one of these nieces in 1842 married a person in an interior station of life, and the deceased in consequence revoked, by a codicil, that portion of her will which gave to the l offending party an equal share with her brother and sisters. On the 28th. November in the same year she executed another will dividing the property between the nephew and three nieces, excluding the married one. In August, 1846, the deceased made a uew will, the purport of which the court would not at present refer to. It was prepared in consequence of the death of one of the nieces, so that at that time the deceased had only a nephew and two nieces. After these papers had been executed a cir cumstance occurred Which induced the testatrix to niter the disposition of her property, which alteration was carried into effect by a will dated the 13th January, 1847, and also a will and codicil dated respectively the 12 6th lelnuary, 1848, and the Ist January, 1649. The parties pro pounding the instrument were Dr. Williams and Mr. Chouler, the executors and residuary legatees ap pointed in them, and under which tht y would take a present interest in 5,0001., and a contingent interest in about 7,0091.. and the party opposing Was Mr. Wm. Cursham, a solicitor residing at Nottingham, and who, up to a certain period of time, was the confidential solicitor of the deceased, and also a trustee and executor with Dr. Williams und r some of the earlier papers. It was somewhat difficult to discover, from the arguments in the cause the precise grounds upon which the will of 1848 and the codicil of liti9 were opposed by Mr. Caesium. The I court had been unable to collect from the arguments of I counsel whether the incapacity of the deceased was to Ire in sisted upon, or whether a case of conspiracy and concert between Dr. Williams and Mr. Mauler, and the gentleman by whom the will was prepared was contended for, or whe thee the testatrix acted under the influence and control of her confidential servant Ann Hackett. The Court presumed all these circumstances were to be taken together to them the grounds of opposition. It appeared the deceased was a lady who, during a great part of her life, at least, was not incapable, although there was evidence to show she did de pend in some degree on the information of those by whom she was surrounded and in whom she had confidence rather than perplex herself a ith the details of business. She was in the habit of having her pecuniary affairs managed for her by a gentleman of the name of Gill, in the house of Messrs. Smith the bankent, at Nottingham. The deceased had no great business to transact, hut whatever she was called upou to do she seemed to have understood perfectly. Tu go through the whole body of the eVitilllCC would occupy a much longer time than was necessary under the circum stances. Ihe testatrix at this advanced age commenced her testamentary dispositions in 1812, and the witnesses produced in support of her capacity deposed that they never observed any failure in her intellect, or that she ever exhibited any incapacity for business, although entertain ing a particular di-like to legal matters. The learned judge then referred to the evidence of Mr. William Cueshatn, the sun of the party in the cause, as to the incapacity of the deceased, but the court did not think his opinion much t be depended on, for he appeared to have embarked his passions largely in the cause.. By the will made in August, 1846, Miss Jane Frances Grey took a considerable benefit, which, in the event of her marriage in the lifetime of the testatrix, with out a settlement, could be claimed by her husband. Shortly atter the date of this will Mr. Cursham, the gentleman who drew it, and who was perfectly cognisant of its contents, made a proposal of marriage to Miss Grey. It was nut fur the court to conjecture that Mr. Cursham had this proposal in view when he drew up the will, but merely to consider the effect it had upon the testatrix. Of her feelings upon the subject there could be little doubt, fur the eel deuce clearly snowed her extreme aversion to the marriage, she saying that Mr. Cursham had made his proposal not to her nitae ' but to her (the de ceased's) money ; that it was very odd that In, did not find out that he was in hue with Ler niece until he had made the will, that she, the testatrix, was determined her money should not go to pension ow the Miss Caesium's, and that she had tried every means to induce her niece to break oaf the match but without efeett. The court was not intending to give any opinion of its own as to whether Mr. Curium was influenced hr the motives inieunal by the deceased, hut it was impossible to doubt that the marriage was net only contrary to her wishes and inclinations, but that she Was highly indignant at it and at the folly of her niece mar rying without a settlement. It was under these circumstances that the testatrix determined to make a new will and for that purpose consulted with her friend Mr. Gill, who recommended Messrs. Fox and Batlin, by whom the will of 1817 was then prepared from instructions in her own handwriting, After going through the evidence with re spect to the execution of the will of 1847, and the subse quent papers, the learned judge held there was no evidence of incapacity, and as to undue influence and control, there was a total absence of evidence to that effect. No reasons had tacit shown why the court should go out of its way in order to defeat the intentions expressed by the deceased in the wills of 1817 and 1818. Upon the whole tenour of the evidence the mind of the court was satisfied the every thing had been done. to make the testatrix perfectly under staud the effect of the will finally executed by her and now propounded. The learned judge pronounced fur the will of 1818 and the codicil of 1819, and with regard to the question of costs he felt justice would not he done the par ties if the court failed to condemn Mr. Caesium in the whole Costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT. -itEREFORD, AUGUST 6. CHAMBERL %IN C. BIDDULI'It. This was a renan;:tle;intheinstlll7sl;ll • The plaintiff is • solicitor residing in Ledbury, in this county, and the defendant is a large• landed proprietor, formerly M.P. for the city, residing also in Ledbury. At the lest March as sizes for lierefincishire, the present defendant brought an action against the present plaintiff for the publication of an alleged libel in the Ilerchrd Tithes newspaper respecting the alleged nuisance which is the subject of the present ac tion. The great length of time which war• occupied at the lastitssizes in the action for libel prevented the cross action thr the alleged nuisance from then being heard, and conse quently it came on a• the present assizes before Mr. Jus tice Erle. Mr. Pliipson opened the proceedings, and said the decla ration stnted that the plaintiff, Mr. Chamberlain, was pos sessed of a dwelling house at Ledbury, in this county, and that the defendant, Mr. Bieldulph, was possessed of a close, called the Pound Meadow, with certain drains and eatclipits upon it, and that in these drains and catchpits he main tained filthy water and other offensive matter, from which arose noxious and offensive. smell-, which incommoded Mr. Chamberlain, and rendered his residence unlit for occupa tion. Defendant first denied that he was possts.ed of these drains and catelipits, and then he said he %at not guilty of the nuisance. Mr. Wlikteley having opened the plaintiff's case, A great number of witnesses were examine I, in order to show that the drains in question were nuisances, and the Cause of typhus fever in the vicinity. A number of witnesses were examined on the part of the defendant, who alleged that no nuisance existed. The trial commenced about midday on M'mday, and the judge (Mr. Justice Erie) finished his charge about 1 o'clock on Wednesday. The jury not being able to agree upon their verdict, they remained locked up until between 4 and 5 o'clock on Wed nesday, when they returned a verdict to the effect that the ditch and eatehpits were nuisances, but not to the injury or annoyance of Mr. Chamberlain. Tlf.s was, therefore, a verdict for the defendant. The jury recommended that the ditch should be covered. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, Arc. G. Crowx Covar. —throw' Ma. liksox Purr. THE. CASE OF SHMAINO BY A CLEHEYNAN NEAR CARLISLE. Joseph South was indicted for having at Walton, on the 16th of April last, killed and slain William Armstrong. Mr. Temple and Mr. Otter conducted the prosecution, and Mr. James and Mr. Thompson the defence. The facts of this CAM: are well known from their recent extensive publication. The prisoner, who is il clergyman, about 4i years of age, was accompanied into the duck by his wile. They were accommodated with seats, and the prisoner appeared deeply to feel his position. Mr. 't em ple, in opening the case for the prosecution, said the dect used, William Armstrong, was a farmer, residing at a place called Sainbitries, two miles over the border, was respectably descended, 1 , . as married, and had two children and was about 35 years of age, and was in his neigh bourhood generally respected. On the 16th of April last, having occasion to go to Brampton-market on busi ness, he dined with twine friends there and drank freely. lle left to go home, between 0 and 10 o'clock, with a neighbour named Elliott. It was then very moonlight. They had not proceeded very far when the dammed, who WAS on horseback, cantered off and was overtaken by Elliott at Iletherinton's public-house, and here they met another neialibour named Richardson. On their way home, and when not far from the lane which led to Walton, the d&- ceased rode quickly off, and was not seen again alive. Next day a little girl named Graham found the body of the des ceainal lying at the parsonage-gate, where the prisoner lived, and his pony standing near. An alana being given the villagers assembled, and the prisoner came out of his house, and looking at the body „ Oh, he's dead," and then returned into his house. One of the villagers told him that he had heard the reports of pistols during the night, and the prisoner answered, '• Yes, that lie had heard a knocking at the door, and fired." He then stooped down and looked at a hole ins& in the coat of the deceased, and said it was he who had shot the man ; they came about his house, he thought they were going to - break in upon him, and he tired. The question for the jury would be, whether the prisoner had acted under such circumstances, and had taken such reasonable precautions as would justify him in firing his pistol as he had done. If he had not, he would be guilty of manslaughter. Thomas Richardson, farmer, a neighbour of the deceased, was then called, and proved leaving iletherington's publics house on the IGth of April with the deceased, who was rather tipsy. It was a very moonlight night. When near Walton-lane the deceased cantered off in the direction of Walton, and they del not see him again alive. William Elliott was with the deceased at Brampton, and went with him to Iletherington'e. He corroborated the last witness. Mary Ann Graham, a little girl, 13 years old, who was in the habit of taking milk to the prisoner's house every morn ing, proved that on the morning of the 17th of April, on going through his gate, at the entrance to the shrubbery, she saw a man lying on his back inside the gate. Itw hat and stick were lying by his side. She was afraid to go through, and went back awl called a neighbour named Nixon, who went with her to the parsonage. She also saw Ann Glen dinning, and told her what she hail seen, awl Mrs. Nixon and Ann Glendinning went up to the body, and the pri soner came out and weut to them. Ile was dressed in his flannel shirt, trousers, and slippers. She asked him if he was dead, and he replied—" Sure enough he is dead; what shall we do ?" She said there must be somebody fetched. The prisoner then went back into his house, and she went for William Taylor and Walter Phillips. When they came back the prisoner was dressed. The prisoner then said, " have been the occasion of the death of this poor man," and they dimorered who the deceend was. Joseph Forster stated that he went a little before 8 o'cloe k to the prisoner's gates, and saw the prisoner come to the body of the deceased, and heard him make the remark stated by the last witness. A man named Taylor said, "The man has shot himself," and witness said, " No, Mr. Smith hu shot hint ;" and the prisoner again repeated the expression, "1 . ye been the death of the poor man." The pre.oner then stated that some persons came to lii house during the night, and made such a noise, that he got a pistol. He thought they were going to break in, and he fired out of the door, and had taken away tho lily of a man ; and he would now give up his own to being the other back. Ann Glendenning, a servant to the prisoner in April last, stated that the prisoner was married, and had four children. She slept over the study, and went to bed at II o'clock. leaving Mr. find Mrs. Smith in the dining-room. She wax awoke some time after by loud knocks. She then heard the front door bang. and heard some one go upstairs quickly. She then tell asleep. lu the morning the little girl Graham told her about the body of a man being in the shrubbery. and she went to it. The witness then corroborated what Oh! other witnesses had stated. On cross-esamination she stated that the windows of the study below where she slept made a gnat rattle when moved Mr. Smith had said that he heard this window rattle, and went into the study, and, being alarmed, he went and got his pistol, and then ran to the door and tired off his pistol, and slammed the door to again, and then ran upstairs, and that he felt very much terrified, being the only man in the house. Sarah 11l testes:li, nurse in the prisonei's family, gave similar evidence. John Foster, constable of Walton, on the morning of the 17th asked the prisoner why he had tired at the man with out speaking. The prisoner said he had suffered much be fore he tired; he thought they were going to break into his house, and he was ,n) unmanned that he tired, and it was an accident. Cross-examintl.—The prisoner had been incumbent 15 year.. The living was a very small one. Mr. John Graham, a doctor of medicine, had examined the dece..sed on the lith of April. Ile found a bullet iu his both.. Ile had liven wounded in the right shoulder, and in the 'breast, and had died from a gunshot wound. 7 - It w:a then prived that the prisoner bad purchased, some time before, a r,..volving pistol, at Carlisle. This was the foe for the prosecution. Mr. Jame.. id an able defence, contended that the pri soner, under a bona tide impression that hie houw was about to he broken into at midnight, was justitied in firing his pistol to alarm Ouse whom lie believed to be attacking hin house; and unfortunately, in so doing, he had accidently shut the deceased. Mr. Iliron Platt left it to the jury to say Whether they helloed Vic pri,.uner had bons tide acted under such cir eunist.inves of alarm, and whether, being justified in pro tecting his house, in firing his pistol he had aecidentally.hat the deceased. The jury retired, and after an absence of half an hour found the prisoner ~NW The primmer immediately tell on his knee and rained his hand• as if in pr Ayer aatidat the silence uf the densely crowded court. This case was not over until nearly II o'clock at night. Tu-morrow Mr. Baron l'latt proceeds to Appleby.

Mr. :Stock addressed the jury for the prosecution, stating that the inquire would be based on cireumstantial evidence. he deceased Mr. Kendall lived at a p 1 Recalled Deer-park, mar Truro. lie had been married about four years, and the prisoner was the son of Mrs. Kendall by a former hus band. The &evened was about IN years of age. Prisoner had been residing with a brother at Calstoek, learning tho trade ofa butcher, and he subsequently tecasionally lived with deceased, but owing to some piarrel arising between them 1,. went to reside with a Mr. 4 iro.e. a short distance from the bows. Melt ceased. The prisoner Iral, however, con tinued to work for his step father, and was actually doing nom° work for him on Saturday, the. 19th April, the day on which the deceased came by his death. About hve o'clock on the evening of that day, deccie.ed having business at place called Chacewuter, rode there on a mare. Ile should be able to prove, by two witnesses, that deceased wan seen returning from Chaccwater, riding at a gentle trot, about eight use lock the same evening, witliM a mile of his own house. Front the time he was seen thus riding home, up to this hour, no one eau give any account of the decease but the prisoner ut the bar; and he had made a etitement exculpating himself trust all participation in the crime. The prisoner's statement was to the effect that ho was engaged on deceased's farm at the tine , he returned front theacewater, on the 19th April, and heating some hones sereatning, he went to the spot whence the sound proceeded, where he found deceased lying on the ground, wi'h a wound in his forehead.

Ile then went to get assistance, tend, meeting witlt his mother, desired het to go to Truro fur medical aid, he himself golng to Chace ', water for Mr. Moyle, surgeon, lie then went back by the direction of Mr. Moyle, and put wet cloths on the de- CeaSed's head, and his feet in warm water. lie then went and called on Mr. Grose and other parties, telling them that the old mare had kicked Mr. holdall, the deceased. lie (counsel) would he stile to contradict neatly the whole of the prisoner's statement. It was after twelve o'clock at night when the prisoner went to Mr. Moyle, and the OCC , II , rence taking place about eight in the evening, showed that the prisoner had not taken those immediate steps in the matter which he might have done. Ile should show that tho surgeon never gave directions to put deceased's feet in warm ! water, and that prisoner had neither done that, nor had he placed the wet cloths on deceased's head. 'I he Isurgeon would tell them that there was no appearance on the road of a body having been dragged over it, and that the wound could not have been made by the kirk of a hoist, With these eircuindances before them, they (the jury) would have to say whether the prisoner was guilty of the crime or nut. The learned gentleman then called a largo number of witnesses in corroboration of his statement, the most importaut statement of whom W 4.1 that of the surgeon, ill follows Mr. John Moyle said-1 am a surgeon, practising at Chart-water. I reeollect the prisoner coming to my house • on Saturday nixlit, the 1 9th April, from 5 to 111 minutes after 12. Ile requested me to go to his father-in-law, Mr. Kendall, for he supposed he hail received a kirk from the old mare, and asked me if I had nut !Wen his mother. I told him "No ;" h.: said, Then I suppose the is gone to Truro." I told him I had a previous engagement, but I would come over and see hint as soon as possible. Ho said, " I hope vou will, fur 11; has fallen and has a s light cu t in kis fore head ;" and drew his linger down the right side of my fore. head to show me the extent of the injury. Believing it to be a slight ease, I told him to go and apply wet cold cloths to his forehead. I did not give hint any other instructions —to put deceased's feet in hot wager. Prisoner said he was afraid to go home—he had locked the old man in, and, to the hest of my belief, be added, " have the key in my pocket." Early the mat morn ing he came to my flame, when he said that 3I r. Kuala% was dead, and wished me to come over. I immediately went to deceased's house. When 1 got at the north-wt at corner of the premises I met the prisoner and John Hock ing, who drew my attention to some spots of blood in tho outer lane. On entering the house I found Mm Kendall sitting at the table. I went into the parlour, white,' I found the dead body on a chair, with the head leiMng bark. There were two coats thrown over it. On iimuving them I saw a wound in the centre of the forehead ; exter nally it appealed like two wounds, but iu reality it was only one, inflicted by a series of blows. The skull was brokeu, and I gave it us my opinion then before the prisoner, and still believe, that the wound was not inflicts el by the kick of a horse, but by some heavy instrument. The nest day my attention was drawn to a hammer, with which I believe the wound could be inflicted. The hammer was in the garden hedge. I took some hair from it, and com pared it with the wound, and the small end of it had a striking resemblance to the shape of the wound. l have no doubt but the wound which I saw was the occasion of death. He must have been insensible after the first blow. 1 went to the spot where prisoner said deceased had met with the strident. I there saw live isolated spot: of dark coagulated blood—about two table swayful altogether. , I formed an opinion that the blood, after it had become 4 nearly cold and coagulated, was placed there, because I lilted one of the spots (rum the ground and there was no stain underneath. Had the blood CAI freely on the spot it would have been partly absorbed and have stained the mould under. Prisoner said, when lie found deceased, he took him iu his arms, and, by placing them under the old man, lie pulled or dragged him into the house, but the road did hot present the appearance of anybody being dragged ever it the uight before, The euse fur tho prosecution having cloned at a late nous, The ouart adjourned to the following morning.
