The choir has been entirely formed by Mr. Leslie, who has shown u much judgment in disoomaing and selecting eteellent voices, as he has skill in teaching and training them till he has brought them to a degree of pro ficiency surpassed by very few of the choral bodies whom it has been our fortune to hear. The 6r4 cormert of this season was given last evening at the flanover-witutre Ro.uns. There was, as usual, a large sad high!) musical audience. including many of our most eminent votaries at vocal harmooy. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Neal • bankrupt, the alleged act of bankruptcy being the exectitioa of a Ulla-deed which had been duly registered. On the matter oaring before Mr. Commissioner &edam at Birmingham, he received the certificate of the registry of the deed as sufficient evidence of italnature and contest, and refusing to hear evidence to impeach it, declined to adjudicate. On • former day an appeal wee brought to this court, sod on that comma it became matter of cos troveny whether or not the commiasioner had refused to receive additional evidence, and the ease was postponed far the purpose of showing by affidavit how that was. Mr. De Ger, for the petitioning creditors, now stated that be had affidavit& showing that the commissioner had really declieed to receive evidence which was tendered to impeach the validity of t)e deed. The Lord Chancellor said that he could not try upon affidavit the question whether the commissioner did or did not receive evidence ; that might be the subject of commu nication to him by the commissioner. All he could try was that of the act of bankruptcy. After some discussion, His Lordship decided that another application for an ad jedication should be made to the commissioner, with an in timation of his (the Laid Chancellor's) opinion that evidence beyond the certificate of registry of the deed might be received. He would reserve the question of costa of the proceedings in this court. Mr. Little was for the bankrupt. This 'gnu an appeal from Vioe-Chaseellor Stuart, who bad merle a decree in a foreclosure suit, directing an account of all that waedue on the mortgage both as regards principal and lobelia. The plaintiff was the transferee of the mod. pgar, who by a writing had acknowledged that there were arrears of interest due beyond six years, and this it was contended, and held by the Vice-Chancellor, took the ease out of the Statute ol c Limitations, and therefore that inte rest was payable beyond six years. The defendant, the ap pellant, cootended that, there being a second mortgagee, it was seesseary that • similar acknowledgment should be made by him in order to bring the came within the opera tion of the statute. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Cards's, for the appellant, asked that Use decree might be varied by limiting the taking of the account for interest to six years. Mr. Medina and Mr. W. R. Robinson supported the decree. Judgment was postponed. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) LADY NARY TOPRAN P. THE DORI OP PORTLAND. In this cause, baud before the Mader of the Rolls in i April last, and in which hi honor pronounced judgment en the 9th of July, Lad Henry Benton* appealed against ' one part of the judgment, and lady Mary Tophem ' spied the remainder. The bill in the original suit was filed to set adds, so far as lad Top ham (for. mealy lady Mary Banal wee ) at various , deeds appointing two MOM of 16,0001. in favour of ' Lard Hairy and Lady Mary Bentinek, an annuity of 2,7204, and the Mann of 52,0001. invested in the Three sad-a-Half per Coota is favour of Laty Mary and her ' sister, lady Harriett Ileatiock, but un&r the following circumetneaa On the marriage of the late Duke and Duchess of Portland, in 1795, the English indeed the duke and Scottish estate' of the duchess were respectively ' charged with a sum of 40,0001. each in favour of the yellow children of the marriage, who, on the death of Lord George ! Bentinek, were five in number. It appeared from the evi dence that for several years before the death of the ' bite duke a mutual attachment existed between Lady • Mary Bentiock and Sir William Topham. of which the late duke erpreseed hi disapproval. Lady Mary announced her determination not to marry without her father's consent during his lifetime ; but that his control over her ought not to extend beyond his life The late duke, in order that his control might not determine with his life, coin tahow he would dispose of her share of the younger dren's portion, so ea to ones the obtaining it to depend on her acting in aceordance with hi wishes Acoordingiy in 1848 he executed two deeds, appointing two sums of 16,0001. each to Lord Henry Pentinck. There was no doubt that one-lialf of these sums was bateau/ for the benefit of Lord Hairy Bootjack himself ; and the question raised by lady Mary Bena related to the validity of the disparities of the other half. Lord Henry Bentinck (over whom, it was al leged, his late father had mock influence), as the day on which be received the second sum of 16,0001., livened it in the names of the present duke, then Marquis of Ti and Mr. Ellis (the mat of business of the late duke), and directed the dividends to be pieced to the credit of ea &c -omet marked " id," 'ad declared the trade of it to be for the beside of lady Nary Bentiock, ea the Duke of Portland for the time being should appoint The late duke also arrived 62,0001. 31. Be. per Cents., to the present duke, Lord George, and Lord Henry Bontinck, urn trade to pay the dividends thereof to lady Harriett sod Lady Mary Bentinok , in such shares as the duke for the time being should appoint ; and in 1848 charged his Maryiebooe estates with an annuity of 2,72111. during the UM of the two ladies, in each shares as the duke should t. The late duke died on the 27th of March, 1854, and ea the sth November, 1858, lady Mary Bindle& married Sir William Topham ' • whereupon dispositions were made ci these several sums of mosey, depriving lady Topham of any interest out of them. lady Mary Top. ham, in her suit, maintained that all the appoint ment& were made for her benefit, so far as the half of the foods end the incomes therefrom were con cerned, and claimed one-half of them. The Master of the Bolls held that from no constructin of the power, on a mar nage settlement for distributing portions among younger children, oould the late duke saddle such apportionment with fancies respecting the social relations of thee, who were to derive benefit from it, and as his evident intention was to give Lady Mary Topham au equal share with her brothers end Aiwa, on the (audition that she did not marry Sir William Topham, he amid not invalidate her right by the imposition of say such condition. But his Honour considered that this in validity must affect not merely the appointment of a moiety of the two sena of 16,0001., but the whole appointment, and declared that the entire sums must go ea in default of appointment. The deeds of 1848 were therefore to be held void. Against this part of the decision Iced Henry Bea . tiock brought the present appeal. With respect to the annuity of 2,7201., and the sum of 52,000/., his Honour held that the duke had a right to fetter them with any coo- 1 ditions he pleased, on the ground that the funds therein settled were out of his own property ; and disguised this part of the bill ; and against this Lady Mary Bea . tiock appealed, on the grounds that such power of iotro diming conditions ended with the late duke, and that the I preterit duke must carry out the trusts declared in the deeds. The arguments have not yet concluded. The Solicitor• General, Mr. Bolt, Mr. C. Hall, and Mr. . Roweliffe, appear for Lady Topham ; Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Hobhouse for Mr. Ellis; Sir H. Cairn. Mr. Hardy, and Mr. A. Belly, for the Doke of Poetised ; Mr. Hamelin, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. F. P. Maeda for Lord Henry Bentisck ; Mr. Giffard, Mr. T. Stevens, and Mr. Froglike, for Lady Harriett Biotin& ; and Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Itardswell for the trustees of Sir W. Topham's marriage settlement. (Before Vice• Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) MAJIBII V. PIACOCKL. This case came on upon • motion for an injunction to restrain the Messrs. Con th e arsr.y agents, from p ar ti ng with a sum of 1,500 1 ., which they bad received as the pur chase money mists' from the sole of the defeadant Captain Peseocke's oommissints in the 94th Regiment. It appeared that the captain bed brooms embarrassed, and that the plaintiff, Peter Idamb. and the Rev. Mr. Peacocks, the captain's father. bad joined in borrowing ROM to relieve hint from bin debts, the etptais giving Mr. Manb • warmat of attorney to enter up judgment for 40W. and interest, to gether with • hoed 1 and it the lame tiros • promissory not. to bis father and Mr. Marsh for the like *menet.

The plaintiff having ascertained the feet, fled the bill in this suit, insisting upon a lieu on the 1,5001.. the price of the cominiasioo, add for the injunction as above stated. Mr. Malin and $l. W. W. MaO ll,OO D appeared in sup port of the motion ; and Mr. Bacon and Mr. T. Chitty, for the defendants, the Messrs. Cox, stated that when they paid the captain's cheques they had oo.ootico of any other claim on the pur chase money, and that before they did receive any notice of theplaiotin claim they bad got advice@ from the captain, who was awhile way home from India, of other cheques drawn by him. The Vios.Chancellor said he could not now decide the questioo of lien, but the defeodants, the Messrs. Cure. most be restrained until the hearing from parting with the ba lance in their hands. (Before Vice• Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) 78Z KARL OF ZONONT F. VIZ REV. BIZ WILLIAM DAUM., BART. Thil was • bill filed by the Earl of Egmont against the defendants for the recovery of certain real estates and their which the plaintiff claimed as heir-at-law of the Ce ce E e itti (Henry) of Egmont The defendants, on the other band, claimed the estates and proceeds under one Mr., afterwards Sir E. Tierney, to whom the property was devised by the late earl At the time of the devise Mr. Tierney was a solicitor, residing at Dublin, and was the confidential adviser of the alleged tes tator and the manager of his estates. And it was now sought to set wide the will, on the ground that it was made without due knowledge of the (rote, and under the undue influence of the devisee. The plaintiff's case has alone been heard, and is, indeed, not yet concladed—in its main outline that case is as follows : In the year 1817, the three last Earls of Egmoot—Earl John James, the grand father of the testator; Earl John, the father; and Earl Henry, the testator himself, were all alive. Earl John was Dot era very good terms with his father. He was very much in debt, and his son Henry having come of age in 1817, was induced by his father to become responsible for debts amounting to 200,00 W., which was the cod:imams meet of the greet embarrassments continuing throughout the life of Earl Henry. On the death of Earl John James in 1822, Earl John came into possession of thefamily estates in England and Ireland, as well as of the title. At this time Sir Edward's (then Mr. Tierney) connection with the family commenced, Earl John having to borrow money to • considerable amount. The creditors for the M,OOO/., who had been preening for their claims, recovered judgment., and endeavours were made to obtain execution against the estates, so it was considered advisable that the earl should vest his states in trus tees is order to satisfy all his creditors. With a view of =this into effect, two deeds were executed on the ow., 1824. By one of those deeds, made between John Earl of Egmont of the one part, his son Henry Frederick John James (then Viscount Perowval), John Godfrey Teed, and Edward Tierney of the second part, the earl s Irish estates were vested in the las4oamed three perms ea trust, to satisfy the charges on them estates, and to bold the semi= and the unsold estates for the earl absolutely. The mood of these deeds related to the English property, which, in addition to the parties named to the first, was executed by several of the earl's judgment creditor". The estates were vested in the same trustees, who were, after paying the charges on them, and indemnifying Henry Vis count Percent against the liabilities which he had incurred as surety for bis father, and paying the just debts of the latter, to hold the same in trust for Lard Egmont for life, and subject to a jointure of 1,0004 • year to his countess, for Lard Peroeval in tail, with remainder to Lord Egmont in fee simple. By the same deeds the trustees were autho. tired to pa out of the surplus of the Irish estates 2,0001. • year to Lad Egmont for life, and to Lewd Percesel 1,0004 a year during the joint lives of himself and his Tither, sod 2,0001. a year if be should survive his father. The object of these deeds was to provide the father with 2,000/. • year for life, and the son with 1,0101. a year during his father'slifetirne ; and whether the estates were sold or not the surplus was to go to the survivor. In 1832 the whole of the English estates were sold, with the exception of the advowson of Ensnare, which had bees specia exempted in the deed. Mr. Tierney, who was living ll Is Ireland, was opposed to the selling of the Irish estates, and WY most anxious that the English estates should be sold and. Oa this poiat there was a difference of opinion, but the Englith estates were sold firth, and their sale produced 200,000 i. A large amount of the family incumbranom on both estates were W.bieoff ; the Irish estates were cleared to a coml. extent of their incumbrancee, and there remained after the application of the sale moneys of the English estates about 100,0001. charged cc the Irish estates. All this took place during the lifetime of Earl John, who, surviving his wife, died in 1835, and Earl Hoary soccooded. The character and habits of Earl Henry woe of • singular kind. In 1817, he, being then of age, sat for • abort time in the House of Commons ; but when there came • general election, and be was no longer privileged from arrest, he, being deeply involved, left the country. He altogether dropped his courtesy title, and assumed the name by which he paired till the time of his death—that of Lovell. He lived the greater part of his time on the continent, and during the latter years of his life in England, but in concealment of the closest kind, coocealing frorq all except two or three persons to whom concealment could not avail, his real title lied description. One of the persons who was always acquainted with his secret was Tierney. Earl Henry fell into habits of intemperance, which increased more and more in the later years of his life, and which was the come of his death —he dying of, amongst other discerns, delirium tremens. After his father's death his medium of communication for the purpose of receiving his property was Mr. Tierney. There was a peopesty gelled Ooytmore, m Wales—a mineral estate—which in 1836 cane into the porrues of Firl 1 Heavy in right of his mother, and which hs been sold since hie death for 45.0001., the management of which had been banded over to Mr. Tierney. Earl Henry had no personal knowledge of his Irish estates, having never been there Mace Ins. Their estimated value was on the whole about 130,000/. After the death of his father, in 1835, it became necessary for Earl Henry to take his seat is the House of Peen, which he did in 1837, and having dome that be immediately left London, renamed the name of Lovell, and lived in retirement as before. Earl Henry was never married, but • lady considerably older than himself—she is said to have been • relative—a Mrs. Clam., the widow of • French Aker, and her see, Alexis John Batianelson, lived with him, and took care of his beam Under these eir. cumstanees, knowing nothing at his property, he took without complaint, though with oocasiooal murmurings, the sums which Mr. Tierney paid him, and which did sot amount to much over 1001. or so ',year, although at this very time, as the plaintiffs alleged, Mr. Tierney was spending 5,0001. a year in improving the pro perty. In this state of affairs matters stood until therm 1849, when Earl Henry died, hewing 81st made • will devi sing the property to Sir Edward Tierney.

COURT OF ESCHEW:MR.-JAN.I4. Sit isp in Beim in Hilary Term.—(Before Lord Mat Harm PoDock nod Baran Martin, Chaaaell, and Wilda.) DM V. NAISSII—PRIENDLY SOCIETY'S DISPUTER. Mr. Device applied for a prohibition, directed to a °minty court judge, to stay prome&egs in the matter of this plaint. The action was brought to recover 101. from the trustees of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society, by reason of the death of the wife of the plaintiff, who was a member of the Victory Lodp in the Hull district. By the rules of the 'misty, which were drily certified under the Friendly Societies Act, if say dispute arose between a member and the trustees in respect of any amounts ezoesdieg 21a, rt was to be heard and decided by a committee, and by the 40th section of the act that decision was made biodieg and conclusive between all the parties without appeal. The first question was, whether this erotica) did sot oust the jurisdic tion of the county-court judge. There wee another point, as to whether the prom{ appliaatioe was made in time. Mr. Baron Martin said it seemed that the members and trustees of friendly societies were at war, ash. had recently had several cams of this kind before him. As far se be na derstood the act of parliament, if the certified rules pro vided that disputes should be decided by a certain tribunal, that excluded the jurisdiction both of magistrates and count? court judges. He and Mr. Boron Bramwell had the question before them yesterday, and they were of opinion that such tribunal bad an 'Wats power to decide the matter. Mr. Damson said that Mr. Initial Crompton bad, ins case at chambers, stated that it must be taken to be eetabliihed, that if the rule. required these disputes to be referred and the act provided that the rides should he sawed, they most be referred, and the remedy Inaction was taken away. Mr. Justice Hill. who concurred in that opinion, observed that the object of the legislature was to protect the societies from useless and expensive le gislat ion, and to give the parties a speedy remedy. The Sesreed ocamml submitted that this was a conclusive derision of the point. With re gard to the question of time, he said the plaint wee taken out on the 29th August, the ems was tried on the 11th September, and on the 10th October a 11131111110011 woe taken out for the prohibition, and served on the parties on the 13th. Previously the debt and mists had been paid under an execution, but it bad been mentioned to the county-court judge that a prohibition would be applied for. Mr. Raymond, who showed cause in the first hotance, submitted, upon the second point, that the cause could not he taboo out of the settled rule, that a prohibition could not he applied for after judgment unless there was an original want of jurisdiction apparent on the face of the proceedings. He stated that a whole month had elapsed after the trial before any proceedings were taken to obtain a prohibition, and contended that under the circumstances the court ought not to interfere. The Lord Chief Baron said they were all of opinion that the present application was too late. Although notice was given to the county-court judge, which placed the matter on the same footing as if an objection to his jurisdiction had appeared on the face of the proceedings, there must be some limit. to the delay before the Demo/or steps were taken to apply for • prohibition. In this came the delay wee such as to dosntitle the party to make the application. There was now really nothing to prohibit, as judgment had been pronounced, and the mosey paid under an execution. The suit was no longer under the control of say court, and for all purposes was at an end. If the defendant wished to have the benefit .of the law be ought to have applied promptly, and especially in a case of this kind, but as he bad not dons so the rule must be discharged. Mr. Baron Martin said that if the defendant was compelled to pay the money by a court which bad so jurisdiction, he had still his remedy by an action for trespass. Rule discharged.
