(from the Wok, rlet 'Nam. Chromicle.] Monday leek being Whit-Monday, was Ikeinvally °beloved se • holiday throughout this distrat. Bosinser, males of a youth's or pressing character, was almost altogether sob 'winded, end parties of holiday maker+, weldorased and gkelsosse, were evelywhere to be met with, on their way to ✓isit seas friend or acquaintance, or to enjoy the pleasures of seam favouri.e place of neut. Many boutit clubs walked in procession peoviossly to reering them selves with their custo maryi annual feast, but the more rerearsable event of the day in this town was the procession of the members of the Wolverhampton Free hold Land Society to the possession of the land pur chased by them at the Moorfields, en the Dudley-road, ousts:43g of about twelve acres sad a ear. The land, which is unusually level, and formerly used for grazing, had been previously staked out, and divided into oat hundred and fifty-two allotments, slightly varying in eiu, bat generally frontages of about Steen feet each, each lot cffir MT:its suitable for the erection of a small dwelling house, with the necessary outbnildii gs. The Louses will be built, seemingly, la what the Americans call "blocks," separated by streets thirty-six feast wide, and strict attention, it is stated, will be paid to drainage and other saiiitary ro qairements. The 'pot, on Monday, presented the appear anes of haring been marked out for the erection of • litde town, and carried with it qui:6 an air of local cdonisation. The procesaioo, which consisted of a band of music and about a hundred nonnbsn of the society, started from the British school+ in WskaLl-street at about half past 2 o'clock, and, preceded by a lugs banner, bearing several inscriptions and devices emolemaffoil of the effects of the society, pro- needed through several of the principal streets, accomp.uied by a uomerous asumlouge, t, its del ication. On its ',rival on the groend the procession p:rambulated the society's ruche'', flashy stepping in front of a small tempo rary plutons erected for tits accommodation of the expected speakers. The cumber of persons present, it may be here remarked, was pewter two thou-and, and the fineness of the weather, and the verdure of the vegetation around and en the distance, brought into relief by the mild hut dear sun shine, imputed unusual animation to the scene. Mr. KEMP, in a 'peel of considerable length, pointed out the morel, sodal, and pditical effects resulting from land societies, touching open their intlienee upon families gene rally, and also upon their members individuinly, illograt . ng his positions by many tercii.le and apposite remarks. He erneeileded by warmly exhorting his andituy to join land sucieues, and to become freeholder*, souring there that by such a course they would secure their own moral elevation, sad acquise the political impedance which belonged to them. Mr. COLEY stated the financial position and prospects of theeociety, which he described as of the most satisfactory kind. The procession was then re-arranged, and returned to the British School rooms, in Walsall-street. . . Soon after the return of the pnicresion to Wolverhampton, between two and three hundred petions, of both sexes, sat down to tea in the large room it the British schools; end in the evening a public mating was held in the same room, which was crowded by a large auditory. The chair was taken by E. U.leulan, Esq., end • deputation was in attendance from Birmingham. Among the spe +kers was— Mr. G. DAWSON, of Birmingham, who in the course of his speech observed that he regarded the society as the hest means for reforming the English workmen that had ever been introduced. He had read in history of c intinuil revolts against some new improvement. He could understood why Pugh persons resisted changes; they were against their interests, and men were apt to think tdat their interests were the world's irterests. He belonged to no poli tical party, bur still he had an interest in or an affection for what was called the radical party, but only of that party he liked no better than the old conservatives or whigs. He abhorred the whole of the modern 'totem of con ductin; election•. The establishment of Freehold Land societies would rescue the land from an oligarchy ; it would prevent that process which was now going on in this country of boying up gees. estates and pulling down the cottages, by which the &Auger was obliged to seek a dwelling in the nearest town. Now for every pauper which the gentry of England sent into the towns the promoters of these societies proposed to send them hack a braise of good sub•antisl free holders. (Laughter and cheers.) They would return them good for evil. He heartiy supported this society, because by its .id they would work out more true demecrsc) than by any other meats. After some further remarks Mr. Dawson tat down amidst loud el erring. A vote of thanks was (Oxen to the Birmingham depute ti-n and to the chairmen. Three Cheers were then given for the Freehold Land Society, and the meeting broke up. IRELAND. Derma's, MAY 30. It wee rumoured yesterday at the Four 'Courts that Mr. Butt, Q.C., would stand for Limerick county ; it is not, however, likely that he will accept the invi tation which he his received. He will, however, be fore long be in parliament for some al- er constituency. At pros nt he is unquestionably the most popular man in Ireland. Last eight's Gazette contains the proper legal notice that Mr. Hyde, of Castle Hyde, is going to sell a portion of his estates in the el:unties of (fork, Lime rick, Kilkenny, ani Tipperary, under the provi sions of the Act for Sale of Encumbered Estates. Tee Castle Hyde estates in Colt were originally given by Queen Etizabeth to the ancestor of the present pro prietor, who owes upwards of 100,0001. There will still, however, be a handsome rental after the incum braze., are discharged.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. Yesterday was appointed by the Royal Thames Yacht Club fora sailing match, the prize to be contended for being two silver cups, the one for the first clue contain. ing 80 sovereigns, and that for the second clam 40 sovereigns. There were 10 yachts entered ter the nee. The memben of the club and their friends had mustered in unusual free, and at 10 o'clock a goodly company left the Adelaide-wharf, i•elow Lyndon-bridge. The weather was splendid, end the Stir steamer, which had been chartered for the occasion, hastened on its way to Erith Reach, where the little ihet was drawn out ready to start from its moorings. A signal from the steamer warned each craft to prepare, and in s•antly the crews were seen clustering round the mast;, or up aloft in the rigging. Another gun from the steamer and up went the snow-white canvass like magic, and people crowded to the near side of the Star to see the race begin ; but then came the annoying fast, that the sills, SO cool, so spacious and inviting, would nu fill—that there was not a whiff—not a breath of sir stirrivg--and that what progress each tiny vessel made depended entirely on the strength of the receding current. Under circumatacces FO unfavourable the provision boat and the collier might enter into the race with some chance of success, sad their ungainly forms were more than once seen mingled up with the light and tapering outlines of the yachts. It was in vain that immense gaff-topsails were spread, and that the river banks were closely hugged, and that every manoeuvre and expe dient was adopted for catching any stray airs. Even the small pennons et the mastheads refused to Butter, and the match degenerated co a drift. The start took place at six minutes past 12 o'clock, and at a quarte r - p ut two the little !feet had not reached Green hithe. When between Grays and that place the commodore (Lord Alfred Paget) gave the signal for discontinuing the match, and announced that it was postponed till Saturday, the 16th of June.

SEEGER VICS-CHANCILIOR itprtoirr Batt% Ex PASTS BOLCZOW.-RE DIACLEAN.-LIQVIDATED DAMAGES. —.. TMs case, the partic ulars o f which were stated on a former hearing of the petition, came on again for the purpose of the production of vivivoce evidence in support of the petitioners' cue. They claimed as holders of bills of exchange, for sums amounting to 11,5001, the consideration for which they al leged to have arisen out of a contract entered into between them end the bankrupt, Mr. Donald Maclean, for the supply to the latter of 4,000 tons of railway bar iron. Upon this contract, 11,6001. was to be paid by way of deposit, and was, according to the custom of the trade, to be retained as a teen. rity to the petitioners against any damages which they might sustain by reason of the nonfulfilment of the contract on the part of Mr. Maclean. The 11,5001. was accordingly paid in the bills, which were the subject of the petition, and it was on the former occasion contended that the only claim could be in respect of damages, and that these being unliquidated, at the time of the bankruptcy, could not be the subject of a proof. His Honour, however, thought that the existence of the bills distinguished the cum from those in which the do pups were held not to be capable of being proved; bat In the then existing state of the evidence the transaction appeared to the court so singular, that the petition stood over, in order that its bona tides might be inquired into. The petitioner, Mr. Bolckow, was now examined viva voce, and stated that he and his partner carried on an extensive business as ironmasten at Mid dlesborough-on-Tees, and that at the time of the order given by the bankrupt for the 4,000 tons of inn they made inquiries as to the purpose for which he could require so large a quantity, there being at the time (1840) many merely speculative orders. The result of the inquiry was that the bankrupt was connected with some Irish railways for which the iron would be wanted, and they thereupon made prepa rations for executing the order. That they had so many orders then, that nothing but a Wong expectation that the goods would be really taken would have induced them to enter into the contract. That the price of iron afterwards fell so much that they were losers to an ex tent much beyond the amount of the bills by the non-fulfilment of the contract, end indeed to the am..innt of 12,0001. and upward, although they by means of mother order had been able to dispose of the iron. Had this not been the ease and it had now to be sold, the loss wool:. have exceeded 20,0001. Mr. Rogers and Mr. domperts, who were agents employed in the contract, Mr. Malin, the contractor, and a Mr. Boyd, were also examined viva voce. Mr. nursell, Mr. Goodeve, and Mr. Bevil', appeared for the petitioners; and Mr. Bacon and Mr. Cole for the assig nees. The Vice-Chancellor said he was glad that the examine. tion had taken place, since it showLd that the transaction was entered into bowl fide on the part of the petitioners, who appeared to be respectable tradesmen. The evidence had quite changed the aspect which the case had asaumed when it first came before the court. There must be a re• fercnce to the centrabsioner to inquire what (if any) damage the petitioners had sustained owiug to the non completion of the contract, having a regard to an the circumstances relating to the bi.l for 6,0001., endorsed by Miss Maitland (the bankrupt', ward), and the bill for 2,6001., and an the other circumstances o f the ease. With . regard' to the fint-mentioned bill, the court, which would have to decide between Miss Maitland and the petitioners, would have a pa•ntul duty to perform, and his Honour heted that he should have nothing to do with it. His Honour added, that for the sake of the parties, he would request, as a favour to himself, Mr. Commissioner Gonlburn or Mr. Commissioner lane to be so good as to undertake tho refer ence. If (which his Honour did not anticipate) they should decline, the reference must be directed in the ordinary course to the commissioner acting in the prosecution of the Bat (Mr. Evans). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAY. Srrrnrcs to BANCO. WOOD O. THE COMPANY OP COPPER McszßE.—Cov• ST/AUCTION OF COVENANT. This was a demurrer and special cage arising out of an action of cnvenant. The questions at issue were, whether by the terms of a deed entered into between the parties it was optional or compulsory for the defendants to supply to the plaintiff certain quantities of small coal, which the plaintiff used for making fuel, and whether, in default of the defen dental so doing, the plaintiff was entitled to liquidated da mages or to a penalty. The Court prejudgment for the plaintiffon the demurrer, and the parties agreed between themselves to enter a verdict opon the main bane for the plaintiff, with nominal damages, and to pay their own costs. CONSISTORY COURT.—YEsTERDAY. BE/ °az Ds. Lventurcaox. FAwcErr r. FAWCITT.—ADCLTIIET. Dr. rhillimore (with whom was Dr. R. l'hillimore) stated that this was a suit for a divorce, promoted by the Rey. Reliant Fawcett, Rector of Copthorpe, against Mrs. Eleanor Fawcett, his wife, in consequence of adultery. The parties had cohabited together till 1847, and the fruit of their mar riage was seven) children. On the 2nd September, 1846, Mrs. Fawcett went to Hartlepool, when she took lodgings, at the same period that Mr. Walter Trevilyan, with whom the adultery is said to have been committed, resided at the hotel of that place, and was in the constant habit of visiting Mrs. Fawcett, and remaining with her until a late hour. At other times when Mr. Fawcett was absent, Mr. Trevelyan visited Mrs. Fawcett with the same frequency as at Hartlepool. I Seaton Carew was another place where these visits were continued, and there Mrs. Fawcett became pregnant, although her husband had not, it was shown, had intercourse with her within a period at which she could have become so by him. She, in due time, gave birth to a male child, which was christened at Edinburgh according to the custom of the Scotch church. The clergyman asked whose child it was, that it might be registered ; when Mr. Trevel yies mother, bunting into tears, said it was illegitimate, and was that of Mrs. •Faweett, by Mr. Trevelyan. These was also evidence that they used to remain in the room an hour together, with the door bolted. She was once in Mr. Trevelyan's bedroom for 20 minutes, on one night when they were retiring to rest. They were seen frequently walking together ; used endearing terms to each other, such as "My dear Eleanor," and " My love." They were also seen by the servants to salute each other, and appeared late a couple of lovers. The learned advocate thought there was sufficient evidence for the court to pronounce for the divorce. Dr. Robertson, on the part of Mrs. Fawcett, thought from the evidence brought before the court he could not hops to oppose the admission of the allegations ; it would, therefore, be useless for him to waste the time of the court by going over the evidence. He would leave the case in the hands of the court, it being in full possession of all the facts. The Court said, it had certain impressions upon this ease, that it could not give judgment at once, but would take an early opportunity to do so, after due con sideration. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YEsnaDAT. Bums Ma. Coloinstoxsz Foxy. Anus. TRADING ON ♦ DEFICIINCY. Charles Sneer grocer of WoOabridite, applied for his certificate, supported by Mr. Duncan. M. Linklater op posed on the part of the assignees, en the ground of reckless trading and carrying on business too long. It appeared that in 1843 be was deficient 2001., and had afterwards gone on obtaining credit till February last, when he came to the court, owing 1,2551., of which 3001. was doe to his father. His profits bad been 1121. a year, and his expenditure about 2101. On these grounds it was contended that the certificate ought to be refused altogether. Mr. Duncan urged that the bankrupt bad given up 2501. worth of property to his creditors. The genuine character of the father's debt was beyond doubt, as he had had a war rant of attorney for five years. His Honour observed that the charge of collusion with the bankrupt's father had not been established ; but stale war rants of attorney were always auspicious, and it would be well if greater difficulties were thrown in the way of enter ing up Judgment ea them.

GULLDRAI,L. RAILWAY SPECULASION Mrs. Catherine SW; wu again brought up for further ex amination, on the charge of commissioning Mr. Williams Barton, st ockbroker, to purchase 1,0001. London and North Western St:ek., which stack had been purchased, and which she refused to pay for on the loss thereon amoonting to 371.18..—Mr. Haddlretom sad Mr. Robley appeared to pro secute. The evidencetaken on the former occasion was then read over, from which it appeared, that on the 23rd of April U. prisoner called on Mr. Barton, and presented a card from a Mr. Stone, of Warwick-street, Regent-street, with whom he had done huffiness for some years, at the same time saying she had some money to lay out, and wish e d to punkin* 1,0001. worth of London and North Western Railway Stock. Believing her representations to be true, he pur chased the stack for her, and after making itquiries he discovered that ;he had no money to lay oat, but had icta ally been carrying on the same system of speculation with the stockbrokers in London and. Manchester. Her name was posted up in the Stock Exchange, and when next she called at Mr. Barton's office, she was detained until an officer arrived, when she was given into custody. At the last examination several gentlemen stepped forward and said they were imposed upon in a similar manner. Mr. Barton was then called, and he repeated the Name statement which appeared in the Express a few days ago, in our report of the first examination. Mr. John Horatio Golding, of the Stock Exchange, said that he had lost 201. by some business which he had trans acted for the prisoner, upon the faith of a rtcommendation from Mr. Harrison, his solicitor. George Henry IRO, clerk to Mr. Nairne, of the Stock Exchange, sold his employer was favoured with a corre spondence from the neighbourhood of Staines in March last, requesting Mr. Nairne to invest 5001. in London and North Western shares, which he did, and loat 421. lls. 6d. One of her letters, of 13th April, was dated from Devonshire House, Piccadilly. Thomas Gardner, from the firm of Laurence, Carenovo, and Co., said they received a letter, dated the 4th of May, from the prisoner, requesting them to purchase ten Old Midland shares. The letter was dated from Devonshire House. The shares were purchased, and they were lours to the extent of 421. ls. 2d._ Mr. G. Stockdale, of Throsmorton-street, stockbroker, said the prisoner wrote to Meters. Hoyland and Co., of Manchester, requesting them to purchue stock in the New castle and Berwick line. They sent instructions to him, and he bought the stock, and forwarded it to Manchester, and it WAS still on band. 11;:i1;71diestone asked what might be the loss incurred by that firm. Mr. Stockdole—lt sold today, it would amount to 1141. Mr. Stevens said the prisoner applied to him to sell 20 shares, but he could not see what sort they were. On that occasion she wrote her address, Mrs. Shiite, 2, Woburn tenace. Mr. iluddlestone said that was all the evidence he had to offer at present. Sir W. klagnay amid that u it was a very important case, and the first of its kind, he should remand the prisoner until Monday, in order that he might hear other cases before making up his mind whether be should commit her. The prisoner asked if she might be admitted to bail.' Sir W. Niamey said he would take bail, herself in 1001., and two sureties in 1001. each. Bail not being forthcoming, she was conveyed back to the Compter. LAMBETH. A WHOLESALE BURGLAR —A notorious burglar, who gave the name of John Jones ' was placed at the bar on sus picion with being concerned in the commission of a vast number of burglaries and robberies. Police constable Frederick Bowerman, deposed that on that morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, he saw the prisoner come over a hedge from some premises in Sydney-place, South Lambeth, and suspecting all was not rutht, he asked him where he came from. The prisoner re. plied from the Elephant and Castle, and witness knowing this to be false, secured him and took him to the station house. He there searched him, and fcund in his pockets a set of housebreaking implements, a box of limiter matches, and other things. Inspector Coleman informed the magistrate that, on Sunday night last, two burglaries had been committed in South Lambeth, and property to a considerable amount stolen. And he had very little doubt, from an entry having been obtained to each of the houses plundered by means of a centre bit, that both the robberies had been effected by the prisoner or his sesociates. Inspector Campbell stated that within the last few weeks innumerable burglaries and robberies had been committed in Camberwell, Peckham, end their vicinity, and be (Mr. Campbell) had no doubt whatever, both from the fact of the prisoner having been observed lurking about those places, and the robberies having in all cuts been effected by means of a centre bit, that every one of them had been committed by the prisoner and his confederates. Mr. CampbAl added that one night four houses in succession were attempted to be broken into, but without success. All the houses m the row bore on their doors and shutters the marks of the centre bit, and at one in particular a desperate t Llort appeared to have been made by the burglars to effect an entrance, but this was prevented by the doors and shutters being lined with sheet iron. Samuel Wright, a constable belonging to the P here said that about three weeks ago he took the prisoner and another person into custody at Peckham, having found them lurking about and taking particular notice of the avenues and passages leading to several gentlemen's house,. On that occasion, when placed at the bar where he now stood, he gave the name of Foster, and said he worked in the docks; and no house-breaking implements having be en found on him, he was discharged. Another constable deposed to having been present when the prisoner was tried for felony, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. The prisoner was remanded for a week. _ _ SOUTHWARK. CHARGE OP ASSAULT AGAINST A " SERENADER."—R. W. Pelham, one of the Ethiopian serenadere, was charged with committing a violent anault on C. L. Smith, a profes sional Finger of Yankee songs. Mr. Itoberts, in stating the ease on the part of the com plainant, said that the circumstance which gave rise to the alleged assault was the publication of a pamphlet by his clioit,aed entitled " Yankee Smith's Nigger Melodist," in which the writer made some strictures on the performances of the " Ethiopian serenader'," and in which he says, " All things must have an end, and neither Ethiopian serenaders nor any book are exempt from this universal fatality. In fact, a twelvemonth hence an Ethiopian will be as great a rarity as a Queen Ann's farthing ;" and in another por tion of the same publication the writer proceeds, " There is now only one party of black minstrels performing who are called Pell's Serenaders,' and advertised as chosen b himself in America. This, however, is not the case ; and I wonder that Mr. Pell, after the kind manner in which he has been received at the Bt. James's Theatre, should a tempt to foist a lot of penny slang negroes upon the public as Ame !Maus. Were Dembolton the managing man, instead of the fellow they have, they would be far different." These re marks in the pamphlet brought done the ire of the defendant on the complainant, whom he attacked in a very savage man ner, and these proceedings were adopted against the former, in order to prevent a repetition of such violence in future. The complainant then stated that he was a vocalist, and the defendant was the managing man of " Pell's Ethiopian Serenaders." That on Friday evening last as he (com plainant) was leaving the stage-door of the Surrey Theatre, he encountered the defendant who, on seeing him, ex claimed, " Oh, I've caught you now, and I'll give it to you," and immediately struck him a blow on the side of the head that knocked him down. He, however, rose from the ground and ran towards the street, but he was overtaken and knocked down a second time by a blow on the mouth, which broke one of his teeth. His trowsen were much torn by the fall and his watch was broken. The complainant added that he had been for some length of time suffering under serious indisposition, a fact which the defendant was perfectly aware of, although he attacked him with such fury. Mr. Games said that the defendant would not attempt to deny that he had assaulted the complainant, but rot with the violence asserted ; sad that before he had recourse to such a summary mode of punishment he had been calumni ated and slandered by the man whim he had treated with kindness while he was in his *mice as one of his company; and that there was no truth in the assertion that the de fendant had not paid him punctually what was due to him. The facts were, that the complainant, annoyed by the suc cess of the Ethiopian Serenaders, of whom the defendant was one of the prominent characters, bad recourse to scurrilous writing against them. These were the extenuating circum stances in his clent's case, and he regretted now that under the impulse of the moment he had assaulted the com plainant. Mr. Cottingham said that, notwithstanding the alleged provocation, the defendant was not justified in assaulting the complainant. He (the magistrate) should therefore call upon the defendant to enter into his own recognizance of 501., and find two sureties of 25!. each to keep the peace, and also to pay the damage sustained by the complainant by the destruction if his trouser', besides the injury done to his watch.
