LlTElli.—Last night a new comic drama, in two acts, called "The Tutor's Assistant," wee producedtitle at th theis theatre. A German potentate , rejoicing in the of Grand Duke of Stiffatback Nquedlitz, has a eon, Prince Ludwig IVtihebn. A neighbouring grand duke of some thing elan has a daughter, and a treaty of matrimonial alliance, through p owers ildren, is Grandecontrated between these high and mighty o and the Duke, knowing his son to be a self-willed youtb,ebarges his tutor, Professor Von Florieberg, with the task 01 persuading him to agree to the match, The prince, however, has felen in love with a young lady at a boardingachool, to whom he has contrived to make himself so &peristyle that she is quite ready to runaway with him. The Grand Duke, however, discovering the latiaon, impriroua his son in his chamber. The prince escapes by leapieg from the window, and with a young officer, a friend, obtains were to the school, both of them disguised in female attire. The professor follows his pupil, also disguis d as an old lady, and some ridiculous venes take place between these three and the olds' bearding.schoolmistress and her young pupil. She recogses her lover, and they fi nd means to make off together : but they are stopped by the Grand Duke, whe arrives with a party of soldiers. The Grand Duke, to prevent the marriage between his son and the young lady, commands her to marry his ton's friend ; but it turns out tha t this damsel is, after all, the dauehter of the neighbouring grand duke, the very person with whom the matrimonial alliance had been arranged, though how she came there was more than we could make out. Indeed, the whole plot is a tissue of ab.urdities, by no means redeemed by any remarkable humour in the characters or liveliness in the &thistle. Charles Mathews was quite lost ir. the cha racter of the Prince, which gave no room for his usual bustling vivacity ; and the other characters were insipid and common-place. Mrs. C. Jones, by her admirable acting, gas e some effect to the part of the ridiculous schoolmistress; and, indeed, was the chief support of the piece. A great deal of it went off very heavily ; but there was considerable alfause at the end, and the principal performers were called before the curtain. So far, therefore, it must be set down as successful. UNIVERSITY ANN) CLERICAL. Onroßß, JULY 3.—The Vice-Chancellor notified this day that U. M.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER TILIAL AT 9.41.--6eerre Baron. Parke, hone, and Platt. TOR ATTORNET-ORNERAL e. HALUITT.—FOREST OE WALTHAM.—INTRUSION ON FORESTAL It Op CROWN. —This was an information filed by the Attorney-Generi 1, :n which the defendant was charged wills infringing on the royal forest of Waltham, by encloaing a certain vr, od t h e rein, called Knighton Wo od with a fence and ditch. The defendant pleaded that th e wo od in question was not part and parcel of the (west —The Attorney-General stated the ease on behalf of the crown, which he said} had appeared to him to las one of sufficient importance to require the tecu liar and solemn tribunal in which the jury were now assembled." It regard. d the Rghta of the public, through the crown, and it was the duty of the Woods and Forests, to which office the jurisdiction of the ancient Chief Justice in Eyre had been transferred under t h e 57 Geo. 111., c. 61, and 'l O Geo. IV., c. 50, to take care that those rights were not encroached upon by persons in the situation of the defendant, who, having bought a freehold estate of seventy threo acres le the parish of Woodford, within the forest, in 1843, had proceeded to enclose that portion of his purchase called Knighton Wood, consisting of about 50 acres, in the tanner objected to by the crown. The plea of the defend ant raised two queetiens—flat, was this wood within the ambit of the forest of Waltham ; and next, if an, was it sub- Jett to forestal rights t It might be admitted that there were mesas manors within a forest, and freehold lands, which, however, were subject to forestal rights. Over these lands the owners exercised a restricted con'rol, for they could not enclose them bodily, so as to restrain the deer from re sorting to them, nor could they grub the wood up and culti vate them—nor could the p. y build on them—as appears from alanweied's Forest Law, 304. That being so, it was the duty of the crown to show that this wood was in the ambit of the forest, and subject to the forest law. This would be done most clearly by ancientgrants and perambulations. The first document would trace this property up to 1062, when Harold granted it to the Abbey of Holy Cross at Waltham, th..t grant being confirmed by Edward the Con• (emir. The name of Woodford, as was natural, would ap pear to have arisen from a ford in a wood, and the road now existed on this wood on which the ford occurred, a bridge ing now erected. Doemsday-book also mentions the wood as one in " Woodford Walk," which was in the centre of the forest, and an ancient map would show its exert po-i -lion. Besi. es this, " perambulations " would show that it was within the forest, which comprised twelve eutire parishes and parts of nine others in Essex. The next ques tion would be whethe r this wood was subject to forestal right., and on that subject it would he proved that Richard 1. in 1198, granted to the abbot of holy Crow the privilege of cultivating thirty-two acres of land at Woodford, while Edward 1., in 1276, conferred on the abbot the privilege of enclosing a part of the forest in Woodford with • low he ge and little ditch, so that " the beasts of the fore et " might leap over while cattle were excluded. In a subsequent reign • right was granted to the abbot of " hunting the hare, the wolf, and wild cat," in Emit, and of not cutting the feet of the dogs; while in 1631 a worthy knight, named Sir Tuby Cage, w.a prosecuted and lined for keeping a gun in his house at Woodford and shooting in Woodford, the same not being a musket for the defence of the realm. Then, again, in 1630, a gentleman named Holden claimed a tight of way over " Knighton Weed in the forest," and ollier elocume nts would clearly show that this wood was treated as being part of the forest. It was devised by one party, "o' serving the forest laws. ' N. at, permis sion to alien it was recorded, and one person was actually tined for inch sing it with a high fence and digging a deep ditch, so that the venison could not range over it ; arid, if anything were wanting to prove this issue fir the crown, it would be supplied by tho conditions of sale under which the defendant purchased, the wood being there described as " forest land." Besides these decuinents, however, m.,ny witne,ses would prove that this wood had ever been treated as part of the forest; for it would be s hewn that it was a favourite re , Wit of the Asir, which arc frequently shot there, and holly and other trees had been cut there Sul beet." tinder these circumstances, he, theAttorney-General, felt justified in saying that this was an undefended cause, and he was confident ' that the jury would gladly give their 'verdict for the crown, the only object of there proceedings being the vindication of the public property from private encroachments. A vast body of documentary evidence was then gone into in support of this statement, and at 6 o'clock the further hearing of the case was postponed till to-day. Ntol Pares, at Cuildtiali.—" - • —.......—8ef0re the Chief Baron and a Common Jury. TATTERSALL V. ORANT.—EDITORIAL ENOAOEYENTri. The plaintiff in this cue, Mr. Tattersall, is son of the indi vidual of that name so well known in the sporting world. e defendant is Mr. Grant, the bookseller, of Bt. Paul's Churchyard, and for some time proprietor of the Era news paper, and the action was brought to recover twelve months' salary, at the rate of twelve guineas per week, alleged to be duo under the circumstances stated by the learned counsel. The defendant having become proprietor of the Era in the month of May,1846, an engagement was entered into, by which the plaintiff agreed to undertake the editorship and general superintendence of the sporting department of the journal at a salary of twelve guineas a week, subject to the following deductions. The plaintiff was to pay one guinea a week to the repor er of cricket news, 11. 10s. • week to the reporter of yachting intelligence, and a certain sum to a person to be employed in taking the time of the running at the principal horse races. Should the business of the sporting depart. ment turn out heavier than the plaintiff could properly undertake he stipulated to engage and pay for the assist ance of a subeditor in that department. Amongst the stipu lations of the agreement was this, that the plaintiff should weekly furnish the Era with two columns of original matter on sporting affairs. Under this agreement the plaintiff con tinued to oischarat the dutiee of sporting i dicer till about the pet iod of the 0 oodw3od races in the same year. In the interval, however, the defendant had ceased to be the proprietor of the Lea, which was transferred to Mr. Strutt. • solicitor. Mr. Strutt, on examining into its affairs, was of opinion that the literary department was paid for too extravagantly, and be accordingly introduced a new system of remuneration, the result of which was that the plaintiff'smilary was reduced to the sum of five guineas • week, at the same time Mr. Harrison, the previous sporting editor of the paper, better known by his sporting titl, of " Vette," was associated with I him in the editorship of the sporting department. The plaintiff and " Yates" both attended the Goodwood meet ing, and both gentlemen it appeared forwarded accounts of the races to the office of the paper. In the succeeding number that of " Yates" was inserted, and the plaintiff considering that this was a gross invasion of editorial privilege, immedi ately discontinued his contribution!, and commenced the present action.—Mr. Horace Mayhew and other witneues having proved the original engagement between the plaintiff and defendant, Mr. Martin addressed the jury for the defendant, contend ing that the plaintiff, by his craning to send in to the paper the stipulated contributions, after the occasion of the Good wood meeting referred to, had discharged himself, and that, under any circumstance., he could only recover under the second engagement—that entered into with Mr. Stratt— which was at the rive of five guineas • week, subject to a week's notice. Mr. Strutt was called, and supported the statement of the learned counsel, stating that on his becoming connected with the Era he had effected a considerable reduction in the salaries paid, as well on account of their extravagant rate as that there was a considerable decline in the circulation of the paper.—Mr. Miles, the sporting subeditor, who had joined the journal about the same time as the plaintiff, said that berme the plaintiff went down to the Goodwood meet ing he had told witness that he should not return to the Bra as editor. Witness also stated that the plaintiff had on one occation previously a.ked him to join him in purchasing a newspaper called the Englittli Gentleman, and assist in making it a sporting paper. Mr. Ledger, the printer, stated that the plaintiff bad been most irregular in turnishing his copy, and during the Goodwood races some of it came so late that it could not be used, and • portion of it was merely the list distributed on the racecourse.—ln cross examination, he added that he had returned tee plaintiff's "copy " of the account of the Good wood meeting, intimating that he had done so as he had been informed by the rub-editor that it was not plaintiff's intention to report the races, and because he (witness) had already received another account. The jury, after • brief consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for a week's work and a week's notice, at the rate of five guineas, making the damages 10 guineas. EXCHEQUER.—JUDOES• CHAMBERS. Before Mr. Baron Platt. Russin.t. V. JONES.—PRIVILEOE OF BARRISTERS FROM ARREST WHILST RETURNING FROM PRACTISING IN A COUNTY COURT.—Th this case an application was made be fore Mr. Baron Platt, at chambers, by Mr.Philp,an attorney acting on the part of the defendant, a barrister, to show cause why the defendant should not be discharged out of custody of the sheriffs of London, in this and several other actions upon which the defendant had been detained, on the ground that the defendant, at the time of the arrest, was protected by his privilege as a barrister. It appeared that the defendant, on Thursday last, having received a brief to appear as counsel before Mr. C live, the judge of the South wark County Court, had been in attendance there accord ingly, and whilst on his return from the court to his resi dence, he was passing through the City towards Holborn ' hill, when he was arrested by one of the officers of the sheriffs of London, upon a writ of ca. sa. for 451., issued at the suit of the plaintiff, and conveyed to Whitecross prison, when, on searching the office, it was found that then: were several other detainers against him ; and, although the defendant claimed hie privilege, the S econ d ar ies refused the discharge. O n the part of the defendant it was cond that, iasmuch as the Southwark County Courtw a les tablished n by the 9 & 10 Vic., cap. 95, and was a court of record, and so re- I cognised by the courts at Westminster, a barrister practising and appearing in those courts at the lime of the sitting of the court, under the provisions of the act, was entitled to the same privileges, and protected from arrest in going to and returning from such court, in the same mar nee aa a bar rister was privileged from arrest whilst attending in either of the superior courts at Westminster during the sittings of those courts.—Mr. Eady, for the plaintiff, contended, contra, that the defendant was not privileged, and that a county court was not a court to which the meaning of the pri vilege was intended to apply, and that it did not extend to any case unless it was shown that the defendant was in actual attendance at Westminster. " Newton v. Constable" (2 Q. B. Rep., p. 166).—The learned Baron said the only doubt he had on his mind was, whether the defendant was entitled to be discharged upon the other detainers. A ease of a similar nature had occurred before Mr. Justice Pat *son, and, after consulting the judges, they were of opinion that be was. There could be no doubt that the county court was a court of record, and that a barrister bona fide attend ing such court was privileged from arrest ; and therefore, in I this case, the defendant was entitled to be discharged as to all the actions upon which he was detained. The Lensed judge made the order accordingly, the defendant not tobeing any action against the sheriff, and without oats. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. (Xxemiestaner Shepherd. J. C.

Mr. Francis M'Oliwran, the testator, whose will formed the principal subject of the inquiry, was a gentleman of turtune, living in the Wandsworth-road, his family consisting of two eons, Francis and James ; two daughters and a niece. This niece mania; the defendant Girilleetone, and it seemed that he by the union expected considerable pecu niary advintage, and his dieappointment in this respect no doubt led to his subsequent proceedings. Mr. Barton, it appeared, in 18-11 was courting one of the daughters of Mr. MtGowran. and he eventually married her. The testator died in the same year, and by his will his niece became enti tled to a life interest in some property in Webber-row, Southwark ; but, as it evidently appeared, in consequence of the ill-treatment she had experienced from Girdlestone her husband, her uncle desired that he should be deprived from all personal interest in the property, and a reversion of the interest in it was given to the children. From that pe riod to the occurrence which formed the subject of the pre eu nt inquiry, it seemed that Girdlestone had done all that was in his power to annoy the executors, the Messrs. M•Gow ran, but he was dtkat.d in all his legal proceedings, although it appeared that in one suit he had in flicted costs upon them to the amount of 3001., and after repeated demands for money he at length, it seems, resolved upon adopting the step to charge them with having, in conjunction with thee brother-in-lave Mr. Barton, forged the will in question, the forgery consisting in their having, as they alleged, taken away some of the sheets from the will while it was in the charge of the authorities at Doctors' Commune, and substituted others in their place. The evi dence now adduced proved in the clearest possible manner the utter groundlessness of the charge so made. The will was clearly traced from the moment when the testator first gave his instructions to a conveyancer named Eldridge to prepare it, Mr. Barton, who is himself a senator, having from feelings of eelicacy arising from his pri jetted alliance with the family declined, upon being applied to by the testator, to do so, until the probate was engrossed, and it was finally deposited in the strong room at Doctors' Commons, and every one of the wit nines stated positively that it was in precisely the same condition at the present time, and that no altera tion had been made in it. It was likewise shown by the evidence of a highly respectable professional gentleman, named Hooper, that some time before the testator bad given him instructions to prepare a will of a characti r precisely similar to the ono that he eventually executed, with the difference only that in the latter the prom rly that was left to the wife of the defendant Girdlestone was entinly taken out of the control of the husband, and the reversion vested in the children ; and the important fact also appeared, that under the will which was alleged to be a forgery, those who were accused of committing the offence took no greater in terest than they would otherwise have been entitled to. The evidence against the defendants went to establish these facts, and it was shown that Swan and Girdlestone were both sworn and examined before the grand jury in support of the charge of forging the will, and that they had also made declarations before a magistrate, in which they stated that they had heard the originil will read at the house of the deceased, and that it contained a clause giving the property in question absolutely to the wile of Girdlestone, and that when they saw tile will at Doctors' Commons, they immediately detected the forgery, It also appeared that upon obtaining a true bill, Swan and Girdle stone proceeded to Hammersmith, where the Messrs. Mg:lowan resided, and placed them in the custody of an officer, and thy were confined in Newgate for forty eight hours before they could take the necessary steps' to be trailed before • judge. In addition to these facts, it was shown that Oirdlestone took a brief for the prosecution on the clarge of forgery to the chambers of Mr. Huddle stone, the barrister, and upon that gentleman refusing to receive it unless it came through an attorney, Girdlestone took it away, and afterwards returned it with the forged ' signature of an attorney attached to it. The evidence against Saunders was not of so conclusive a character as that against the other two defendants ; but it was shown that he had at. tended with them as a witness before the grand jury, that his name was upon the back of the bill, and that he had on several occasions been in company with them during the transaction. The Recorder, at the close of the ease for the prosecution, ' expressed his opinion that whatever suspicion there might be as to the share that Saunders had taken in the transaction, he did not think that there was sufficient legal evidence against him to call upon him for an answer, and he theretore directed the jury to acquit him. Tho other defendants, on being called upon for their defence, merely denied that they had made a false charge. The Recorder asked them whether they had any evi dence to show that there was the slightest ground for the charge they had made ? The other defendant, Saunders, had been acquitted, and they might call him if they pleased as a witness, if they thought he could help them. The defendants declined to do so. The Recorder then summed up, and observed that it appeared perfectly clear from the evidence that there was not the slightest ground for the charge of having altered or committ.d my forgery upon the will in question, and the only point for the jury to decide was whether the two de fendants had eonspired to make that false charge, knowing it to to false and without foundation. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the de fendants had been convicted upon the clearest and must , satisfactory evidence of one of the foulest conspiracies against the character and reputation and the liberty of re spectable parties that he bad ever heard of. They had put in motion the criminal law of the country to nasty their own vengeance, and had attempted to crush innocent per sons by the weight of that law for their own vindictive pur• poen. Happily they had not succeeded, and the attempt would recoil upon themselves. Their offence was classed as a misdemeanor, but in his opinion it left upon them the taint of telo• y, and he considered their conduct had ren dered them utterly infamous and unworthy of belief for the rest of their lives, as it could not be forgotten that they must have committed perjury in order to carry out the crime of which they had been convicted. The learned iudge then sentenced them to be imprisoned for two years. POLICE.—YEsTERDAY. BOW-STREET.—ROBBERY RV A CLERK IN THE Or. NERAL POST OFFICE—Robert Iflyan, a clerk in the inland department of the General Post-office, was charged with stealing two letters containing cash, the property of the Post master•general. About six o'clock in the morning the pri soner was engaged in opening the bags to dispose of them to the different sorters, and he was observed by . Forbes, one of the messengers, on opening the bag which arrived from Scar borough, to lay two letters aside, apparently among the re gistered letters•, but when he delivered up the registered let ter, to the clerk, the two is question were not among them. Tie prisoner then pretended to return to his table, but is s tead of doing so he went to the w a ter-closet, and the cir cumstance was immediately communicated to one of the pre sidents. One of the letters was directed to the editor of the News of -thee, and the other to Edward Tatham, 5, Americasq Tower-hill, and bore the Scarboro' post mark, but not flint of the inland office, which should have been the case.—Mr. Hodd, a president, proved that he fol lowed the prisoner down stairs, and finding the door of the water-eoset fastened he went to the next one ; he got over the partition and unbolted the do,,r, and took away the pri soner, while Peake, the constable, secured the letters.—The primmer, who is respectably connected, declined saying any thing in his defence, and lie .. as ordered to be remanded. WESTMINSTER.-11I0HWAY ROBBERV.—J. Harris was finally examined, charged with highway robbery.—Mrs. Ellen Day stated that on the evening of the 24th ult., she was crossing over from Queen-street, past North. street, Chelsea, when she suddenly felt a violent tug at a bag she had on her left arm, and on turning round saw the prisoner en d eavou ring to pull it away from her. She caught hold of the bag with her right hand, in order to retain posaession of it, but the prisoner pulled it so violently that in the struggle she was thrown down on the ground twice, and the prisoner having u ltimately succeeded in forcing the bag awa from her, ran o ff with it. The prosecutrix was so seriously in jured by the falls that she was confined to her bed for some days, and unable to appear against the prisoner until now.— The prisoner was pursued and captured by Policeman Wal lace, who found the hag, containing a 51. note, 51. in gold and silver, a handkerchief, and some other articles, on his person.—The accused was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. —Ma. CORBETT AND THE GOVERNOR Or THE CallEEN'd Punios.—Mrs. Cobbett, the wife of Mr. Wiliam Cobbett, who has been so many times before the public in his actions against Capt. Hudson, the governor of the Queen's Prison, atiended to make application for a war rant against the latter gentleman for an alleged assault upon her husband. The applicant stated that her husband had been for some months incarcerated in the Queen's Prison Until lately he had been placed in that portion of the prison allotted to first-elsas debtors; but, owing to some freak of the governor, he was removed to a place less convenient. Application was made to that court, se well as the Queen's Bench, to remedy the unjust treatment, without effect, and her husband was kept for a long tune in his uncomfortable quarters. Much to his surprise he was a few days ego again removed to another part, much worse than say he had been confised in. Great brutality was used to force him there, and her present application was for • warrant against Capt. Hudson for the assault, as she considered he had no right to place him in such a desolate part of the prison.— Mr. Sakes said that he could not assist has in her present ILab3 intelligence.

The plaintiff effected in 1839 the in surance with the Neptune Marine Insurance Company, of which the defendant was the chairman, upou the ship bird Cochrane, from Pernambuco to Liverpool. The in surance was confined to the freight, which wss valued at 2,0001. It appeased, from the pleadings, that the ship re ceived goods at Pernambuco on freight for Liverpool. The ship, while coming out of the harbour of Pernambucsur o, struck on a rock, and she was put back for repairs. The veys and examination of the ship, end the repairs made in her, took six months; that is, from tho 29th of June. 1839, to the 4th of Jenuary, 1840; and the whole expenses were 7,1301., which sum was advanced by the firm of M'Calmont mad Co., at Pernambuco, upon a bottomry bond, which the master of the ship exe cuted, pledging the ship and freight and cargo for that sum and the bottom, premium. The plaintiff having received information of the damage and probable costs of repairs, &c „ is November, 1839, gave notice to th e defendant's company I and to other underwriters with whom the ship was insured that he abandoned shi,s and freight to them respectively. I I The ship sailed from Pernambuco the 6th of January, 1840, and arrived in Liverpool with her whale cargo, of the sable of 19,0001., the 19th of March, 1840. The obligees in the bottomry bond, not being able to obtain payment from the owners of the shi, or from the underwriters, had the ship sold for 1,6701., ai, d collected the freight from the consignees of the cargo. The amount of the proportion of the 7,1301., which ought to be borne on account of the freight, was calculated at 5691., and the question in the cause and now upon the writ of error was whether the plain tiff was entitled to recover the same from the defendant's company. The courts below held that there was a total loss of freight at the time of the damage, and plaintiff was en titled to recover for a total loss from the defendant.—The arguments were nut concluded at tie rising of the House at four. EQUITY COURTS. Before the Viee-Cherseeilor ot England. BURLEY v. HVELYN.—CONSTRUCTION OF A WILL.—A question was raised in this cage as to the construction of a clause in the will of General William Evelyn, dated in 1781, by which a sum of 5,0001. was invested in trustees who were to pay the interest to the testator's nephew, Sir John Evelyn, for life, and after his death to the first sou of Sir John, fur life, and afterwards to the child or children of such first eon is equal shares, and in default of such issue to the second and other sous of Sir John Evelyn, and to their issue; and in default of issue male of Sir John, upon trust to pay the interest to the testator's nephew, Charles, with similar re mainders to his issue, and iu default of such issue upon the like trusts for the benefit of the testator's nephew, Sir Huth Evelyn, and his issue. Sir J•ln Evelyn died in 1633, a lu natic, and unmarried. Sir Hugh Evelyn received the dividends until he bicamo a bankrupt, when an order was made for the payment of the dividends to his assignee. This bill was filed on behalf of the heir at law of the testator, and the question argued was whether the lintitations in the will atter tne death of Sir John Evelyn were void for remoteness. — The Vice Chancellor considered that the words "default of male issue " of Sir John were not applicable to the event ot his having no eon, but that they were intended to apply to the failure of remainders. He should therefore declare that the dividends received since the present claim, and also the principal fund, belonged to the plaintiffs, and all parties were to have their coats, except Mr. Barton, the assignee. STAMPS O. THE BIRMINGHAM, WoLYERHAMPToN, AND STUCK VALLEY RAILWAY CoMPANY.—INJ CNLTION.— The facts of this case, which have already been mentioned in this journal, were shortly as follow: The defendants having Purchased and paid for the subsoil under the plaintiff's house, pursuant to a notice given to him for that purpose, on proceeding to bore a tunnel found it necessary to remove some socks by blasting. The plaintiff thereupon obtained an injunction, restraining them from so doing, on the ground that the foundation of his house would he thereby injured. The defendants for some time submitted to the injunction, but finding it impossible to proceed with their works without blasting the rock, they aervel a second notice upon the plaintiff, requiring the surface as well as the subsoil for their undertaking; and at they required immediate possession of the premises, tt ey proceeded at once under the 4th and sth section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, to obtain the appointment of a surveyor to value the land. The valuation having been made, the defendants, under the provisions of the act, exe cuted the necessary bond, and paid the amount into court. This, however, was done before the sward was signed. The defendants then moved to dissolve the injunction. At the hearing of the motion on the 28th ultimo, Mr. Rolt and Mr. Terrell for the plaintiff, objected that the defendants had no right to give • second notice requiring additional land, but had exhausted their legal power by the first notice; and se condly, that although the award ascertaining the value of the land might have been made before payment of the money into court, it had not been signed till afterwards, and that that mode of proceeding was not within the terms of the act.—The Solicitor- General and Mr. Speed appeared for the defendants. At the conclusion of the regument, his Honour expressed an opi• nion favourable to thepower of the company to give a second notice where additional land was found absolutely necessary to enable them to proceed with their works, but reserved his judgment upon the second point, upon which the case was now set down for judgment. His Honour said he was at hilt inclined to take the same view upon the question as the plaintiff, and to hold the valuation bad; but he had since al. , ered that opinion, as the consequence of holding it to be so in every case, might be attended with serious effects. A valuation might be formally made, and drawn up ready for signature, and the monies paid by the officer of the company, and by accident merely the award might not be signed till the day after. There was nothing, he thought, in the act requiring the court to hold, under such circumstances, that the money would not have been properly paid in. The case was one in which tt e Pendants should have an opportunity of explaining whether the delay in signing the award wait merely accidental. His Honour then directed that the motion should stand over for the production of affidavits in explanation by the defendants. PINK. V. INSALL.—POSTNUFTIAL SETTLEMENT IN PPR , SCANCE OF ARTICLES ON MARRIAGE OF INFANT HEIRESS AT-LAW NOT GOOD AGAINST CREDITORa OF ANCESTOR. — The Solicitor-General and Mr. De Gel appeared for the plaintiff in this case, which now came on for the minutes to be finally disposed of, and which involves a question of some interest in the administration of assets. The suit was in stituted by the creditor of an intestate, who died leaving in sufficient personal estate to pay his debts, and leaving an la tent daughter his heiress-at-law. 'the daughter married during her minority, and previously to the marriage she and her intended husband executed articles whereby they cove nanted to settle the descended estates to certain specified uses, for the benefit of themselves and the children of the marriage, with a proviso, enabling them under certain circumstances to insert in the settlement a power of revocation and new appointment. After the wife attained her majority a settlement was executed with a power of revocation, and on a subsequent day the uses were re voked' in exercise :of this power and new ones declared, providing for payment of the ancestor's debts. This revo cation having been declared in another suit to be invalid, the circumstances not being held to have arisen authorising the insertion of the power of revocation in the settlement, and the trustees of the settlement having been held to be seised to the uses declared by the articles, the question now in die. pule was, whether the articles so confirmed would prevei against the intestate's creditor,.—The Vice-Chancellor de cided that the estates were still liable to the ancestor's debts. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Nun Puce.—Before Lord Denman and a Special Jury. ENGLISH V. HALEIB.—Thu wu an action against the deputy serjeant of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports at Harwich, for hating seized and sold a vessel called the Ash ler, which had been wrecked off that port and brought into harbour by some men, owners of smacks. The plaintiff alleged that the deputy-terjeant of the Lord Warden had no authority to take possession of the vessel, and also that the defendant had sacrificed part of the cargo, acme tares, which be bad sold at 4d. a bushel, when , had be kept them until they bad become dry from the effects of the sea water, they might have been disposed of at a profit. The plaintiff wu the owner of the cargo of the Ashley. For the defence it was contended that the defendant as deputy-setjaant of the Lord. Warden of the Cinque Ports had a right to seize the ship and cargo, and that he sold the tares u the agent of the emacksmen who had brought the vessel lath part, and whe bad a claim for salvage ; and, moreover, that had the de fendant kept the tarts, they were so damaged by the sea• water that they would have become utterly valueless. The sum realised by defendant for the tares was 421., which he contended was as much as they were worth.—Lord Denman having_summed up, the jury returned with a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, 2001., being the amount that it was alleged the tares would have fetched had the defendant kept Wm and sold them dry. applicavon. No doubt Capt. Hudson had acted under legal authority, and would not have removed Mr. Cobbett unless orders to that effect had been received. THAMES. —THE Fence MONTH TOLL AOAIN.—W. Castelt was charted with assaulting Joseph Holden, a toll taker at Harrow -bridge, In the parish of West Ham, Essex. This was a use similar to those arising out of an attempt 1 to enforce what is called " a fence month toll," thelproceed ings consequent upon which were reported in the Express of the 22nd and 23 rd ult. U p on the first charges of assault t. which arose out of the attempt to enforce these tolls Mr. s Yardley, the then sitting magistrate, fined two defendants in trifling amounts, and at the same time expressed it as his opinion that those resisting the toll were bound to prove the illegality of the levy, and that the promoters of such resistance, whether legal advisers er others, were liable to indictment. Several charges of similar assaults were brought on the following day (June 22), before Mr. Bellantine, who came to a completely different con clusion. Ills worship held that the onus of proving the legality of the claim devolvi d upon those who 5 demanded tte toll; that in obstructing any horse or vehicle 1 , the person so acting commenced the assault, and that the 2) person impeded in passing the highway was warranted in meeting force by torce that a toll demanded for only one It month in the year, whilst the passage was free fur the other g I eleven months, was o b j ectionable on the very surface; and, fit finally, concluded by expressing it as his opinion that the toll was not legally demandable. The charges of assault w ere dismissed, and one of the toll-takers, named Robinson, I was held to bail. A meeting was subsequently held at , Stratford, when a committee was appointed to resist the toll as an illegal one, founded on an extortion called che refuge, olaeled alter tile Norman conquest, and defined as " • toll paid for a man's passage through a forest to the disquiet of the wild beasts," l-ut now as obsolete ea another forest law, which required that " all dogs passing through • forest should have three claws of the fore foot cut off by the skin, under a penalty to the owners of three shillings."—Mr. Sperling, who appeared to prosecute, said he did not wish to introduce the question of toll, but to try the simple assault. Since his worship had suggested the propriety of trying the right by action the instruction given to the collectors was not to try the right by distraint, but te take the address of the parties refu-ing to a the pre vious day. Holden, on the prisoner's retusal p topay the toll, asked his address, hut the latter galloped en, and when the collector ran after him to take the address from the cart struck at him with his whip —Mr. 'Tis an in- e Convenience to any man to be stopped for his address in • public road, ^rid I am not bound to take notice of a refusal to i pay any tolls except those created by an act of parliament. To L stop a man's carriage is to commence the assault. If you want t to try the right, several gentlemen on the last occasion said I t they would send drays or horses on purpose to try it by dip. at traint. In the Essex Roads Act, which extends over the e locus in quo, there is no mention of this toll, n.,r is there any provision made for its collection. You must try your 7 right in the superior courts. In the meantime the pawn- 1 . ems along this road must not be obstructed.—Mr. Spar ling : But I wow complain only of the assault. — Mr. Ballantine : Well, I will not go into it. Yon may take it to the Si salons if you please. It is evident the complainant interfered with Cavell in some way or other . Mr. Sperling : We can establish our right for the last thirty a years by the evidence of a police sergeant.—Mr. Ballantine: t I do not care for the police sergeant ; but with reference to that road you have no right to stop any one passing through. —Mr. Sperling: Bet the prisoner used more violence than k was necessary.—Mr. Ballantine : Perhaps he did; but this !' man had no right to interfere with bim, and I dismiss the 2 cues—ln the course of the afternoon Mr. Turner, who ap peared for the defence, accompanied by three other at nth- men, waited on the magistrate to ascertain ethe rwhr ' he could give any direvions to the police n following notice A toll-taker, named Holden (the complainant in the above case), was in the habit of rushing suddenly out in the road and stopping any hones which pseud by at a quick rate in the nose with a . paint-brush, putting t h e lives of the parties having charge of them in the utmost jeopardy. On one occasion the conse quence was that a poor man was thrown over his horse's head, and the cart, which was fortunately a light one, passed over his body. It would be very desire tie if his worship would he kind enough to give his opinion on such conduct. —Mr. Ballantine would rather not give an opinion on a subject upon which he might have to protounce judicially. He bad declined to interfere in the charge previously made by Hold-n, as the act of parliament gave him no jurisdiction. The toll was said to be founded on a grant made by Charles 11.. but be (Mr. Ballantine) could take no judicial notice either of grants or customs. The act of par liament subsequently passed took no notice of such a grant, and as no exception was made in its favour it was to he presumed that there was no intention of continuing it.—Mr. Turner said, the 15th report cf the Woods and Forests, made in 1793, would show that there was no title to the toll. His worship could have the report. —Mr. Bal tontine would always be thankful for infurmition on allocca shuts, but the report was not an set of parliament. If the police saw any assault committed, they would of course take up the parties. The case which he bad discussed, if taken to the moons, would involve the existence of the toll. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING. The transactions in the funds have been extremely active, and on a considerable scale, to-day. Console were done as high as 85, or full ;); in advance of the final quotations of Saturday. Towards the close of business prices descended, however, to 851 to for the opening, and so left off. The decline from the higher rates before ruling would result in the usual course from buyers realising their profits. The market was strong to the last, and the scarcity of stock, with the easiness and abundance of money, would seem both to be in favour of the stability, if not the further improvement, of prices. The payment of the dividends also, now within a few days of maturing, must bring forward a large amount of money for re-investment, which is another element of the confidence by which dealers and speculators are encouraged in their purchase operations. A larger proportion of the July and January dividends is usually, as experience has shown, disposable for re investment than of those receivable in the other two quarters of the year. The April and October divi dends are absorbed to no inconsiderable extent, so far as the public are concerned, by the payment of land rents in the agricultural districts, and other out goings falling due generally at those periods. It is calculated that about two millions will thus re main over for reinvestment this quarter, inclusive, of course, of Chancery, Bankruptcy, Corporation, and trust dividends. It is not to be supposed, however, that the whole will be replaced in the funds. Rail way shares and other securities will doubtless invite the appropriation of considerable sums.

For some short time past reports were current of the house being in difficulties, which it was hoped and believed he had been, or would be, enabled to surmount by assistance from the Bank of England, as he was, and gill is, understood to be possessed of property more than enough to meet all demands. It is stated that a meeting of the creditors will be con vened on the sth or 6th instant. Time only, it is un derstood, is wanted for a liquidation by which all claims will be satisfied, leaving still a respectable re siduum of property to Mr. Brame. This gentleman is asserted to have returned to this country not very long since with a fortune of a quarter of a million, the fruits of honourable industry in India and China.

Sugar and coffee were, however, more in demand, and a steady business was doing, but for consumption only. Speculators still held aloof, ex pecting to purchase at lower than current rates.
