Twenty-one out of twenty-eight bishops were present. The Freeman gives the following resume of the bishops &liberations: Mont pert et unanimity of sentiment prevailed.

It was stated early yesterday that so many as fourteen of the Irish Roman catholic bishops had already arrived in town for the purpose of attending the meeting of their body this day relative to the }:eeleakistical Titles Hill, and sever a l others were ex pietist in town by the trains last night and this morning. The prelates will assemble at 12 &dock, at the reYbyter7 uttnehed to the metrnpcntan cha pel, and tin' meeting is expected to be n very full one. A great deal of importance is attached to it, and if the new ministry persevere in the obnoxious memoir , these deliberations of the combined Roman catholic lin hates will add not a little to the strength of the agitation thioughout Ireland.

This wasan appeal from a decree of the late Lord Chancellor (Lord ('ottenhsat) reversing a decree of the late Vice-Chan cellor of England, on the condruetion of the will of a Mr. Pare, who was a barrister in the island of Barbadoes. By his will made there in 1785 he gave "his real and personal estate to Edward Elleock, of 1e...-hadoce, his er.eutore, admi nistrators, and assiems, for the uses, intents, and purposes fol lowing ." that 1., out of the rents, profits, ate., to pay to his wife TIN. a year for her life, and in trust to permit her to have the use - of his slaves. household furniture, &c., and to receive the interest of a debt due to the testator from a Mr. Prettejohn. &e. lie appointed the said Edward Elleock executor of his will. The testator afterward., returned to England, and died there in 1789, without issue, leaving the said will unaltered. Elko& proved the will in Ilarbedoes, and posseseecl himself of the testator's estate lend effects there, ricrept the debt doe from l'rettejohn, which was about 4,.'suni., and was chargnl on real estate in Barbadres. It was found in the course of the cause that there was a emulsifiable residue of the testator's personal estate after answering the payments and purposes mentioned in his will. The widow of the testator and the executor and all the par ties named in the will are dead, and a question an,se whe ther the residuary estate was given to the executor by the wont. of the will for his own benefit, or he was trustee thereof fur testator's next of kin. The Lill was filed in 1437 by Eliza 7.lapp (the respondent), who is the personal represent:tete of the next of kin and of the U.-suitor's widow, eg..inst Margaret Ellcork (the appellant), who is the le renal representative of the executor, and the bill charged that the surplus of the testator's estate after l.ayment of debts and of the legacies in the will mentioned, was not given tee the executor beneficially, hut was wholly unilimenisl of and belonged to the next of kin ' of the testator according to the statute of distributions, end the bill prayed accordingly. The appellant, in her answer to the bill, submitted that no part of the testator's estate belonged to his next of kin, for that he eve the whole of his property to E. Lame*, not generally in trust, but sub ' jevt to such trusts only as were specifically tapes:v.4d in the will, and that his intention was that the executor, to whom he gave no legacy, should. after satisfying the rims sssd trusts, take fur his own use rind benefit so much of the estate as was not t spresely given to others. And so the Viee-Chancellor derided; but the late Lord Chancellor took a different tiew of the words of the will, and derided that Elleork, the executer, was a trustee of ;the residuary per estate of the testator for his widow and next of kin, and that the reepundent, we their repreeentative, respec tively was entitled to their respective shares therein. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Sandy., for the appellant, observed' that the will having been made in 17145, the recent act 11 Geo. IV., e. 40, had no hearing on the question: and they contended that executor , pmt btu, to that act were entitled for their own use to any residues of their testators' personal estates not disposed of by their a units• it appeared to have been the intention of the testature to exclude the from ell such beneficial interest, as, for instance, giving them legaeies, and they insisted that then , was no express or implied int. ntion in the w ill of this testator t.. exclude tillernik from ittiiing the residue b eclieiapv. They cited, among other row., i.Clarke" (15 Vest y, 409, and 03 appeal, 18 Vet. 211) ; " Beaker r. tinnier" (1. Brown, C. C., 329) ; " Biebsq. of Elton , . v.

'l' lie cosistruttion of the West London Railway had OM INO,OOO/., arid it was agreed that the dell ndants htiould pity 60,00 W. in roomy, and thy also covenanted by the deed in quo s timi to pay to the plaintiffs one-fourth of the gross sum which should be reesised hr the North Western Company in respect of pansengers, panda, and other things; and lone haft or the net profits tel train rates and tolls paid by perrtilLs who Yilit their .1,411 Lttvuotives. It was also stipu latd thud the defendants should charge 50 per cent. more for pc 51mgers on the plaintiff.' how than they charged on their main line. The defendants also covenanted that they would, at their own expanse, during the t. rut of the least., &tinnily work and repair the said railway and works demised, and indemnify the plaintitl'+ against all eluar,rea and losses for want of repair, or for not working. 'the detintlatits, it appeanal, had never run a passen ger train at all upon the line, and had only carried .goods to a email amount, in eunicquenee of wilit•lo the presant action had lieu benight. Ihe plaintiffs contended th it the defendants were humid by the lease to work the line, awl that they were liable to pay damages to the plain tiff. if they failed to do to. The amount of damages claimed was 35,000/. The North Western and (ircat Western were the first two railways projected to the north-west of Loudon, and it was originally contemplated that there should be only one terminus for the two lines. In the year 1630 the plain titts. olgainsd their act, oil it was declared that their line almuld join the North We.tern at Willesden, and form a jun lion httween the North Western and the Kensington t'amd. Subrequently the Great Western Company obtained an act to enable them to make their terminus at Padding ton. and as they were to cross the plaintiffs' line on a laid, it mix agreed in 1837 that the Great Western Company .Maid wait the emir W.. tire of the plaintiff.' trains in passing the point of intersection. In 1844 the pbaintitle lime was completed, and it forta..l a junction betwee n the Thames by meare+ cattle Kensington Canal and the Great Western and North Wexern lints. The plaintiffs' line was mainly intended to take passengers and gootls from the west end of London to the two great lines intimated, and it was . apt that ft s . rreat profit would be the result. No made arrangement was eas to the times of working their train., and the result was that passengers going by the plaintiff.' line were kept waiting before they could go on by the defendants' line. The plaintiff,' line was opined in June, 1841, and after having been worked for about six mo nths, it was es ident that it could not be efficiently carried on, except in connexion with one or both of the great lines. Negotiations wore accordingly intend into, and it was age, d that the plaintiffs should lease their line to the de fentlautA as before mentioned. Sulmquentiv au act was obtained by the Great Western and North Western com panies to carry the plaintiff.' line across the Great Western by a bridge, andestend it newts the Thames so as to join the South West.. rn. The plaintiffs, however, have not received anything by virtue of their contract, except the 60,0001. ; and having male frequent complaints and remonstrances, the defendants, by a letter dated Jan. '2O, 1849, said that if the plaintiffs thought the line could be profitably worked they might try to work it. The sit elaration seve ral twitchy% and it was admitted on the pleadings that the plaintiffs were entitled to 404/. 14.. in n.t.pcet of goods traffic for finis. years and a half, and 3241. lls. on account of rent; but the principal question was whether by the lease the defendants were boand to run passenger tr dna. It was contended for the plaintiffs that the defendants should hare advertised the line and base run trains at such times as to afford reasonable accommoda tion to the public. The damages were estimated in the following way ..—The North-\t estern had 470 miles of lime and received upward s of 2,000,000!. a year, making their receipts to be '2,3501. per vane. Taking the extent of the West London line, a fourth part of this sum, for four and a half years, a euld amount to 33,000/. Mr. Serjeant Byles, Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Espinasse appeared for the plaintiffs . • and Sir Thesiger. Mr. Ser joint Channel! , and Mr. Bovill were for the defendants. N% - itnessos were called to show the population and re sources of the neighbourhood through which the line Nord, with a view of proving that it might have been worked profitably. Sir F. Theaiger then addreued the jury for the de fendants, contending that it was impossible to run passenger and goods trains, in eometiut nee of the West London ILA!. way being only a single line, the gradients being too steep, and there bring peat danger and difficulty in crossing the lINIMINft..._ THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1851. LAMBETII. LORD HrNTINOTOWER AND RIA LADY.—Mr. Huddle stone, the barrister, waited on the magistrate to make a statement with reference to the application of the lady calling herself the wife of Lord Huntingtower at this court on Saturday last. Front the opening of the learned coun sel's statement, it was expected that he was about to pro duce evidence in contradiction to the lady's allegations; he, however, confined himself to a personal and general denial of the claim of the lady, called by hint Mi-s Acford, to be Lord lluntingtower's stile. His lordship had lived with her, but the connexion had ceased for several years. Lord Huntingtower had repudiated her claims to bear hia name by advertisement as long ago as November, 1848, and had declared that he would not be responai- Me for her debts. His lordship's family had investigated the claim referred to, and satisfied themselves that it hail no legal foundation ; they were nevertheless disposed to as sist the lady if she would renounce her pretensions to be Lord Huntingtower's wife. Miss Aeford's statement having been made before a magistrate, Lord Hunting tower's friends had desired hint to make this explanation, in order that the statement of the young woman might not go uncontradietecl. Mr. Elliott remarked that the case originally came before his colleague, Mr. Norton, upon a complaint again,t the pariah for not relieving the children, and as the state no-id on Saturday was e.r parte, lie (Mr. Elliott) felt bound to Iner the learned gentleman in reply.

The Great Western Company had given the defendants every facility for doing so ; but it frequently happened that if an engine started out at six o'clock in the morning it would not get through the barrier, in order to cross the Great estern line, until six o'clock at night. Engines, under such cir cumstances, frequently hid to stay out all night, much to the damage of their character as steady-going engines. (A laugh.) In a statement issued by the directors of the West London Company in December, 1844, they admitted that they were greatly in debt, that there were four judg ment. against them; and an execution, under which all their available property had been seized, with the exception of six cottages, and they had been contracted to be sold for 3301. Moreover, there was a bridge on the line which was too low for ordinary sized engines to pass underneath it. The learned counsel also urged that if the plaintiffs were entitled to any damages at all, it would be preposterous to talk of such an amount as that which had been indicated by his learned friend. To prove the impracticability of working the West London hue, for passengers , he should that the North We-secret:Company had been applied to, to run trains during the coming Exhibition, in conse quence of which they had caused a report to be spade as to the practicability a doing so; and the result had been that they had been obliged to decline it. The court then adjourned. At the meeting of the court this (Tuesday) morning, it had been arranged between the parties that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiffs upon the first, second, and third breaches, damages, Is.; on the fourth breach, damages, 4041. Ifs.; and on the fifth breach, damages, 411. 2a. 2d.; which might be increased to the sum of 3241., upon an ex ;urination of the accounts. Upon the sixth breach a verdict generally to be entered for the plaintiff; either party to be at liberty to bring the matter before the court upon motion, the two questions to be raised being whether, upon the construction of the covenant, the defendants were bound to run passenger trains. and if so, whether they were to run them in connexion with trains on the North-Western line, the damages to he assessed upon the principal count, otter the opinion of the court had been taken upon the construe tionof the covenant. . . . . . The eourt then proceeded to try the only remaining enure in the lint, which w aa a queation of guarantee, of no public interest whatever. COURT OF EXCIIEgUER -YESTERDAY. Pates.—Biroas Nu F. Pound.

On Monday the court was opened at ten o'clock. The calentiar presented a list of about 28 prisoners. one or two being out on hail. there were several cases of an nrgrarated description, but the majority were for minor offence4. Mr. Justice Creswell presided in the crown court ; Mr. Baron I'Litt sat at nisi prius. limas Us. Jrnlca Comma.. ALLEGRO PERJUILT. Henry Tweddle and 7a;; Blowy were indicted for per jury. The case of henry Tweddle was proceeded with in the first place. Mr. James, wi* whom was Mr. Busier, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Overend and Mr. T. luster for the prisoner. This was an indictment for perjury, alleged to have been committed iu an affiliation ease, at the General Quarter Seoions held at Carlisle, on Jan. lst, 1840, in an appeal in which Joseph Tweddle seas the appellant, and Jane Oasis the respondent. The evidence disclosed a great deal of proNigary on the part of the principal actors in the %Mlle, without throwing any light on the real truth of the twitter. The jury returned a verdict of Not Godly. This announcement was hailed with applause, which was immediately repressed. Mr. James stated that it was not his intention, after the verdict of the jury, to go into the other case. tieveral snuffler cases were tried, but none of sufficient Interest to deserve mention. The court ruse at six o'clock. Nina N11.14-I.lk ',RE Ma. BARON PI Alt. The learned baron took his scat in this court at ten o'clock. There were only seven causes entered, two of which were settled before the court opened. Three of the remaining the are of no importance. The other two are important, and relate to the same parties, namely a person named Benson, the owner or worker of Fourstones colliery, in Northum berland, and Mr. Black, a respectable coal agent, who un dertook to tool his coals in retail at Carlisle, **sky, Peu rith, Plummon, and other places, and, in some in %tunesa, to ship to Ireland. The arrangement com menced on the 18th of January, 1640, and came to a sud den end on the 19th of July in the same year, when Ben son, with more haste than judgment, preferred before the local magistrates at Carlisle a charge of embezzlement against Mr. Black. A long hearin4 took place. The re sult was that the case was dismissed, and Mr. Black promptly send Mr. Benson with notice of an action fur damages fur illegal detention and defamatory . impu tation. On the other hand, Benson brought his action against Mark, for the recovery of a Mann on various agency transactions which he alleged to be due to hint, amounting to upwards of 480/. This was of course done with a trkw to parry the action for damages, which is a special jwy ease. Basscor v. Btu Being the first entered was the first =be taken this mornit.4. Mr. Atherton and Mr. W. 11. Hodgson appeared fur the plaintiff ; Mr. Temple and Mr. Otter fur the defendant. Mr. Atherton opened the plaintiff's curt•. Ile stand the facts found in our intivaluctory matter, and itukeatt•d the items ley which he arrived at hi. -ISO!. One of the niudes was to take the total amount of all the coal. rent to Black on sale ; to assione that each waggon contained GO cwt., and that they ...ere :old at uniform priers. From the total thus mad•• up he &dueled all the fortnightly &vault:owes made by Black, and debited the latter with the balance. There were various other itans. The case for the plaintiff hating been gone through, Mr. Temple addressed the jury for the defendant. A great many witnesses were then called, examined, and eras-examined. They proved that sev‘ r.ll of the item. which the plaintiff had objected to were just and regular, and explained the matter of the carriage and the stamp. It was also proved that waggons of coal du not, on the average, weigh more than 431 hundred weight ; and that in retailing that quantity, in small lots, a Loss miss, of from three to four hundred pounds in the 435 cwt. The agent of another coal-worker. engaged in precisely the some kind of business, proved likewise that the practice invariably was to take the agent's return of the weight realised, and that surcharge of that kind wee out of the question, because nu agency could exist under such on operation. At six o'clock Mr. Baron Platt adjourned the case till to-morrow morning at nine, when it will be resumed ; and the cause Black v. Benson (8.j.) will conic on as soon as the other is concluded. THE POLICE COURTS. MA Ri.BOROUGH-STREET. ACCII , rNT To Mill:. DI6RAVLI.—John stanky. driver, was summoned before Mr. Broughton for liming, by careless and wilful misbehaviour, done damage to the car riage of Mr , . Disraeli. A solicitor. who attended professionally for the eom plainant, said a collision having occurred in Regent -street between an omnibus driven by the defendant and Mr. Disraeli's carrimte, Mr. Disraeli had thought it necessary the circumstances should be investigated, especially as the lives of three persons were thereby endangered. A, it was not unlikely that a great number of additional vehicles would he licensed in consequence of the Exhibition, it was desirable that the drivers should be placed under stringent regulations. oin% Jarrow, coachman to Mr. Disraeli, had been in his pssient service for nine years. On Saturday, the Bth of February, while turning clown Regent -street from Glass house-street, about five o'clock, with a brougham, in which was Mrs. Disraeli. an omnibus was suddenly pulled over on to the brougham, and the result was a collision which knocked over the brougham. Witness was thrown oil the box, and an was the footman. Witness was driving at the rate of about four miles an hour. the omnibus was driving also at • moderate pace. Witness was on his right side, the omnibus was on its wrong side. The collision was too sudden to allow witness to pull off so an to prevent contact. Several other witnesses were called, who confirmed the material portion of the coachman's statement. They stab d that if the defendant had pulled up instead of pulling over towards the carriage, the accident would not have taken place. A gentleman named Gray witnessed the accident. The brougham ran into the omnibus as it appeared to him, bc• cane the bad of the horse in the brougham actually came into the window of the omnibus through the glass . The defendant was a very steady well-conducted man, and .45 driving at • very steady pace when the accident oc curred. Another witness, named Pellew, who was outside of the omnibus at the time, said the omnibus was about to pull up to let out some passengers at th? time when • gig wa s paas, ing. which apparently was not sten by the driver of the brougham. The driver of the brougham, in attempting to clear the gig. ran upon the hind silted of the omnibus and • caused the accident There was no negligence whatever on the part of the omnibus driTsr. The lady inside the brougham was obligtd to be tak , es , t at the window. Another witness, named Stai.h, said he saw the brougham pull into the omnibus. Had the brougham cirin r driven properly no accident •oultl have occurred. A cab-driver saw the oceurranc . which he considered was the result of accident. It arose from the horse in a gig shying at the noise made in loading a rubbish-ran. Mr. Bingham said. had it not been for the last witness he should have considered there was really no ease in which he had any jurisdiction ; but the czbueeihmi eo completely contradicted the previous witness, who attributed the da mage to the coselunan's attempt to pass the gig when there was not sufficient room, as to give a totally different complexion to the matter. However, he was PO much per plexed by the evidence that had btrn given that he should not give judgment at once, but I.ostponc it until next Thursday. PUBLIC SALES.

'faking the ten corresponding weeks iu the years 1811-50, the only example of a greater mortality occuned in 1817, when the deaths fir the wack were 1,243 ; whilst the average of the ten weeks was 1,067. Correcting this average according to the supposed rate of increase in the population, it becomes 1,161, compared with which the present return shows an excess of 49. 111.1 in crease, both on the previous week and on the averw2e, runs through different periods of life, but is most considerable amongst persons of advanetal age. Complaints of the respi ratory organs have been more than usually active ; and in this clues bronchitis, which carries off the aged, numbers 119 persons, of whom 2.1 were children, 40 were persons between antll3o, and 51 had turned 64 years of age. Walden these, larSaigitis and larynaismus stridulus were fatal to 7 children and un adult ; pleurisy to 8 persons ; pneumonia (or inflam mation of the lungs) to 98, of whom 77 were children ; asthma to 3! ; and other fli.(ll4ty of the lungs, exclusive of phtliisis, to 12. The tubercular class of diseases, which c omprines scrofula, tabs mesenteries, phthisis (or consump tion), and hydmeephalus also exhibits a slight increase on the previous week ; the deaths in this return attributed to these diseases being in the aggregate 190, of which 137 were caused by consumption alone. Dy far the largest proportion of the victims of this destructive malady were of middle age, 116 out of the 137 having died between 15 years and 90.Amougst thieedistosteofa tubercular eharact, r which are mostly confined to childremtabes mesenteric,' was fatal in 13 cases, and hydrocephalus (or water on the head), to 32. The average number of deaths simply demerit/4:d as arising (ruin tits" or "convulsions" is do; and this week's table shows nearly the some amount. At this period of the year the zymotie or epidemic class of diseases on an average causes about 200, or nearly a fifth part of the total num ber of deaths; and in the present return it contributes 208, which is near the usual number, though the proportion it bears to the total mortality is co n siderably less. It is eatisfactory to observe that small-pox now shows a ten dency to become less fatal. Twenty-six persons died from it in the previous week ; but that number has now fallen to 18. Vaccination appears to have horn performed in only two of these eases. Two children, aged respectively 9 mouths and 11 months, died on the 17th of February in the Small-pox Hospital of confluent small-pox, both after 7 days' illness, and " unprotected." Hooping cough has increased, and now predominates among epidemics, 6.1 children having died from it in the week, which is considerably more than the average. Twenty-nine died of measles, only 9 of scarlatina, and 8 of croup. Typhus was fatal in 35 cases, of which 20 occurred in the middle period of life. During the week 130 deaths were registered which had occurred in workhouses, 13 in mili tary and naval asylums, 40 in general hospitals, 3 in military and naval hospitals, and 9 in lunatic asylums. The births of 792 boys and 775 girls, in all 1,567 children, were registered in the week. 'lle average in six corre sponding weeks of 1815-50 was 1,426. At the Royal Ob servatory, Greenwich, the mean daily reading of the baro meter was above 30 in. on Sunday and Monday ; the mean of the week was 27870 in. The mean daily temperature was below the average of corresponding days in 10 years, on Sunday and Monday ,• on Tuesday it rose nearly 10 de grees above it, continued at the same height on Wednes day, and then fell gradually to the average on Saturday. It was 48 deg. .9 no Tuesday and Wednesday, and 38 deg. •8 on Saturday ; and the mean of the week was 42 deg. •6. The wind was Frew:Tally in the south-west, except on Fri day, when it blew from the north-cast. MERCIIANT SEAME.N . S ORPHAN ASYLUM. — The twenty-third annual court of governors of this institution was held on Monday, at the London Tavern, Capt. Nelson in the chair.

During the past year a legacy of 1001. from the late J. H. Peacock, Esq., of Hereford, and 501. from the late Miss S. Sheppard, London, had been re ceived. The collection at the annual dinner amounted to 943/. 10s. Id., the Duke of Northumberland presenting 100 guineas. The Hon. Corporation of the Trinity House had presented the asylum with a donation of 1001. (the 19th), and the Directors of the East India Company had presenUsi their 13th donation of 501. The inmates of the asylum, during the past year, had varied in number from 110 to 115 ; and the friends of the charity had every reason to be satisfied with their condition, both in point of health and improvement. The treasurer's report stated that the re ceipts for the year amounted to 3,113/. Ow 3d., while the expenditure had fallen short of that amount by 128/. 12s. 9d., which remained as a balauee. This report having been agreed to, the court proceeded to the election of eleven boys and five girls as inmates of the asylum, and then separated after thanking the chairman. Lotavorown (Drew.)
