. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Novestarat 12. RHODES V. DE BEAUVOIR. Thiq case was argued at great length at the first sit tirgs of the Court. It goes to the validity of a building Iwe obtained by the plaintiff for certain lands in Hack- Le v, which lease is called in question by the heir and ,uCcessor, as oleained under circumstances which will hold in equity. The Loren CHANCELLOR spent two hours this morn . i 1 gaing through a retrospect cf the pleadings and papers pre- I ::'3%.ry to his judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 11. FABIAN V. BROWN. Mr. MARRYATT moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict obtained by the defendant in this cause should not be set aside and a new trial granted. The erfenclant was Captain Brown, who had been principally v ccerned in constructing the Chain Pier at Brighton, h. „.„ ag 17.(nii.mit of the 30,0001. which formed the ot the Pier Company. He had, by the autho rUr .if .he Company, employed the plaintiff, who is a builder in extensive business, to assist in building the p" • • er , an d when it was completed he paid him the a mount of his bill. Several other additions were made for the conve rence ..1 passengers, a waiting-room, &c. which plain tiler ected by the orders of Captain Brown, who refused payment, alleging that the Company were responsible. an action fur work and labour done was then brought :elitist Captain Brown, and a verdict given in his tavour. As this verdict, however, was found contrary to evidence, all the witnesses having proved that the additional structures were elected solely at the in stance of the defendant, the Learn d Coun , el trusted that the Court would grant the rule. Mr. BaronGaanass—l think this case requires further consider. rep. Take a rule to shew cause, Mr. Marryatt. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 12. HAYWOOD V. PITT. This was an action for seducing the plaintiff's daugh• ter. At the last ‘Vorcestershire Assizes, the Learned lud ,e who presided, suggested, that as the plaintiff's slaughter and the defendant were stated to be still at tached to each other, and as a promise of marriage had b ee n made, a verdict for £l,OOO should be entered,which should be set aside, on condition that the defendant mar ried the girl within a month. To this proposition the icterklant acceded, and a vesdict for £l,OOO was en tered ;trCOtdioßly. Mr. RUSSELL now moved to set aside the verdict, staving, that the defendant, in performance of his en ,;:agernent, had procured a license and the wedding nng, and went to the plaintifFs house for his bride, in a Tosr.chaise, for the purpose of taking her to church, and :ulontriiLii:g the marriage; but the young lady refused n) Live him, preferring to have the 1,0001. for which sitrdiet had been entered. Upon this statement of the case the Cool t granted a Rule A isi. BLORE V. STOCKDALE. The plaintiff in this case, a stone-mason, in Picea obt.ined a verdict for 3001. against the defendant, r Oheiling him in the notorious publ'cation called the Memoirs of Harriette Wilson. Mr. BROUGHAM now moved to set aside the verdict, °tube ground that the damages were excessive, and sere probably enhanced, from a supposition chat the libel imputed to the plaintiff that he had proposed mar when he was a married man, and that the Learned ,lacie had not sufficiently pointed out to the Jury that fr..ae, Wilson might have been of sufficient age to re— teire a proposal of marriage, before the plaintiff was tat lit:l—Rule refused. WALPOLE V. !OUR. action was reel at' the last Hertfoi d Assizes, .nd the plaintiff recovered 555. from the defendant, o was a stakeholder for that amount on a wager at clickit. Mr. ANDREWS now moved to set the verdict aside, on the groped that the cause was altogether be rm!' the dignity of a superior Court to investigate, as the question was nothing more or less than to determine, whether the wager had been fairly won, according to ti e laws of the game of cricket ? and the Learned Counsel cited the case in which the Chief Justice -had Mused to try a cause relating to a dog-fight. Caw Jusnct—You should have made your objection before tie came was tried. It is now too late to complain when the case i. decided, and a verdict against you. Mr. ANDRFWS—I did interpose when the case was called on ; SI:: the Learned Serjeaot Onslow, who sat as Judge, ollherved, that hr could not tell from the pleadings, what the cause of action was, cud that he could not act judicially from the statement of Counsel. , then to o k t h e lib erty o f suggest i ng , t h at t h e con d uct o f your Lord in the dog ease, was worthy *A imitation and adoption by all Learned Judges. ITY Ji , svice..-1 did that, Ma Andrews, which appeared to right, without consider bug it was to be a rule fur other Judges : Learned litetbren, will, of course, exercise their own discretion lu hirnilar cages. Ur. Justice Nasser .

Mr. ANDREvis then suggested another ground,namell, that a fraud had been practised by the parties who won the wager. The contest was to be between eleven men Cheshunt, and the same number from Enfield; but 'n td if all the Enfield men being from that town, they had procured two superior players, living else where; and that besides, cricket having been decided as one of the games recowsised in the 9th of Anne, no nuiney lost at it could be rt covered. tit Court, however, refused the Role. . • We are happy to learn that orders have been trans . stated to Jamaica by the Lords of the Admiralty, tescindin g the order which gave so much alarm to the zn.YrehAnts, and directing that in future the .rules Yegutiling the communications between Jamaica and the South American States and the SPish settlements, by means of ships of war, should be f;ormed to suit the iinetests and convenience of the 13tithls Merchants. j.sgere Coro ier.

WHIBLWIND IN THE BAHAMAS. -_-;_ • NASSAU, (NEW 2 1 /10VIDENCF..) On the 24th of September, about five o'clalt in the afternoon, this place was visited by a most tremendous hurricane. In the course of five minutes it destroyed or injured about thirty houses. The storehouse of J. Thomson and Co. full of goods, was thrown down; the goods, hoaever, received but little injury. Part of the Poor House (a strong stone building) was also thrown down, as well as several others. The scene is represented as most awful, and, as might be expected, the utmost consternation prevailed; it is gratifying, however, to find that no lives were lost on the occasion. The oldest inhabitant has no recollection of a similar calamity occurring here before. THE ARMY.

Detachments belonging to the Grenadier Guards, the Bth and 141st Regiments of Infantry, embarked on the 3d instant, at Cork, for England. • The Court Martial on Lieutenant BDISTEAD and Ensign Row ceorr, of the 53d Regiment (of which Major-General Sir EDWARD B .• , President) adjourned on Saturday to this morning, to examine witnesses in defence of Ensign Rowcaorr. The charges originated in some intemperate expressions which were used by Ensign Itowcaorr, in a misunderstanding which arose between these Officers when on a shooting excursion. THE NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT. In order to calm the feelings of those concerned for their friends in the 96th Regiment, we give publicity to the following commu nication from Mr. C. J. Faincorni, Paymaster, 96th Regiment:— " Having left Halifax on the I 9th of October (says he), and seen letters there, front Fredericton and St. John's up to the 15th, I can safely venom to assert, that the melancholy circumstance alluded to is without the slightest foundation. " The right wing of the 96th Regiment sailed on the 23d Sept. from Halifax for Bermuda, under the command of Major Hutase, in the Speke transport, which vessel the OILISTICS frigate, Captain Ltreortaz.v, left safe at anchor at Bermuda on the 28th of Sept. I further beg to state, that the Speke is reported to have arrived at Portsmouth on the 31st oh. with the Royal Marines, relieved by the 96th Regiment at Bermuda. " The 2d and 3d Divisions of the 96th Regiment sailed from Ha lifax, the former commanded by Captain Careseaoss, in the Arab transport, on the 2d of October ; the latter by Lieutenant-Colonel Halllllall, on the 9th, in the Joseph Green. It was, therefore, impossible that the report in question should apply to either. It is true that a vague and unauthenticated rumour had been received at Halifax, from Fredericton, of the loss of a vessel with troops on board, off Sable Island, corresponding in some respects with the time of the departure of the Speke ; but the arrival of the Oaasyss frigate happily dispelled those fears."

LOSS Or THE COMET. FROM THE GREENOCK ADVERTISER. NOV. 11. Repeated failures have occurred in the attempt to raise the Comtt since our last. To-day the steam-boats have been busy in getting a proper hold of the vessel, and it is confidently expected that they will he able to raise her at six o'clock, when it will be ebb tide. A little after ten o'clock, this forenoon, a body was discovered flaatinA in Gout ock Bay, and was ascer tained to be that of Alexander Gray, the piper of the Comet; his face and hands were dreadfully lacerated. —lt was supposed that he had several hundreds of pounds entrusted to his charge ; all, however, found on his person was five pounds one stilling in paper, two pounds seventeen shillings in silver, and fourpence in copper money ; also a letter addressed to Mr. Peter Cameron, merchant in Greenock, with one pound sterling, and one to Donald M'lntosh, care of Mr. D. M'Lean, manufacturer, No. 35, Portland -street, Glas gow, all of which are in safe custody; he was interred in the Gourock burying-ground at half-past 11 o'clock. Mrs. GallaCher, wife of the pedlar of that name, lost, in the Comet, hal been in Gourock these many days.— She is a decently dressed woman ; is seen continually walking along the sea beach, and her grief was truly affecting on the body of Gray being brought to the church-yard. - - 7- - --;-a , ,-~.ag~, .. LOnD COCHRANE. We understand that Lord Cochrane (otherwise the Marquis of Maranham) on Monday last, addressed a letter to the accredited agent of the Brazilian Govern ment in this country (Manuel Rodriguez Gameiro Paiez) to the effect that as a peace had happily been con cluded between the Brazilian and Portuguese nations, which was the object his Lordship had in taking the command of the Brazilian naval force, it was his inten tion on the 10th inst. to resign the active command of his Brazilian Majesty's squadron, and therefore, the frigate Piranga, lying at Spithead, would henceforth follow the instructions given to her by the said accredited agent. We understand that this notification has pro duced an order from the agent, directing Captain Shep herd to sail, with the Piranga under his command, on the 20th inst. for Rio Janeii o. There is now no doubt that Lord Cochrane came to England with the Piranga without any order or permission of the Brazilian Go. vernment. He left Rio Janeiro with directions to prosecute the war against the Portuguese with all the means of which he could avail himself; and that he executed these orders very successfully was proved by the numerous captures he made. One of his ships alone took ninety sail of merchantmen, thtee ships of war, and reduced two places to submission ; but not one of the numerous captures made was ever sold, and the produce, as was expected, divided amongst the captors as prize money. The Emperor, as he was importuned, decreed some inconsiderable sums as a .4 reward" of the zealous services of his squadron; but he could not be prevailed on to do more. The ships and cargoes alluded to have been locked up these two years, in anticipation no doubt of that event which has released Lord Cochrane from his engagements with the Brazilian Government, which, his Lordship foresaw, when he sailed from Maranham, was hastening ; and which, it would appear to be dais Llrdship's opinion, the Emperorwas always more desirous of accomplishing than he was to do justice to those whose service he was so anxious to avail himself of in effecting the “ Imperial" plan. We repeat that it is not true (as has been repeated) that the Emperor of Brazil has shewn his displeasure of the Marquis of Maranham by striking his name out of the list of Officers in his service. Nothing that has or may happen, can deprive Lord Cochrane of the charac ter of an accomplished, able, and gallant Officer—nei• ther the untoward conduct of others, nor the wayward ness of his own, can obliterate the recollection• of his many brilliant services, or hardly lessen the re•pect and consideration which these valuable qualities confer upon him. The Piranga (which has been upwards of four months at Spithead) will be ready to proceed to Rio on the 20th instant. She has at present only about 150 men on board (seventy of them Portuguese), but a sufficient number, we understand, has been raised to complete her crew, who will arr.ve in a few days. The pay of the Brazilian seamen is from fifty shillings to five pounds per month, with a month's bounty at the expira tion of every twelve months.—Hampshire Telegraph. There was a sharp frost on Saturday night, and ice in the Park in the. ruts opposite Buckingham House at 12 o'clock. There has been a considerable fall of snow in the neighbourhood of Carlisle ; and one post (the London mail), owing to it, was an hour and a half behind time. The moors round Glasgow, &c. are covered with snow. N EVVGATE.L— Yesterday morning, the unhappy youth, &Irqi Crook, aged only 20 years, who is ordeted •for execution on Wednesday next, was conducted to the Chapel of Newg•te, when the Rev. Mr. COTTON, the Ordinary of the prison, assisted by the Rev. CHARLES COLLIER, Rector of Hambledon, in Rotlandshire, per formed the devotional exercises on the solemn occasion. At the close of the day, the pri,oner was conveyed to his cell, whither he was attended by his spiritual ad visers and Mr. Sherif KELLY, who. united with them in directing{ his attention "to another and a better world." In the course (.1 the day, some female relations, who ire very respectable, wer admitted to the condemned r. ,c)rti.: :it scarcely need be named that the interview .vas of a most valiant descliptioll. From the investiga tion which lias been made, it appears th .t up to this onfottut areatfair the man sustaineek good character, ten. Lis regatd to h s tnothe:..hos.been exemplary. J +~r .. -,: '.4, NOXINATiON OF SHERIFFS. Saturday being the morrow of St. Marlin, the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council were summoned to meet in the Court of Exchequer, to re ceive the nomination of three Gentlemen in the different Counties in England, to serve the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year. Their Lordships assembled, together with the Judges, in the Judges' Chambers, end pro ceeded at a quarter past two o'clock in procession to the Court of Exchequer, headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his full splendid robes, followed by the Lord Chancellor, attended by Mr. Butt, the Sir jeant at Arms the Purse-bearer. &c. the E a rl o f Harrowby, as Lord President of the Council, the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Wynn, Lord Stowell, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Ring's Bench, and the Lord Chef Baron, who took their places on the Barons' Bench, there not being room for any more Privy Councillors. The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas took his seat at the head of the Judges who surrounded the table in the centre of the Court. All the Judges were present, with the ex. ception of Mr. Justice Holroyd, including Mr. Warrea, the Chief Justice of Chester. Mr. Buller, one of the clerks of the Privy Council, attended their Lordships. An officer read an oa.h to the Privy Cuunc Mors, Judges, &c. in Latin, which they all swore to keep. De alphabetical list of the Counties was then read, with a list of Gentlemen's names nominated for the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year, when the Judges, from the information which they had rec ived on their different Circuits, proposed ca ruin additions and excuses for not serving the office, some of which were agreed upon, others were rejected by their Lordships. One of the excuses stated for a Gentleman, pleaded, that although he had not a large family, it was an expen sive one; which excuse, on the motion of the Earl of Liverpool, was rejected. The same name appearing in two couilitiei, it was ascertained to be the mine person, who had property in both counties ; his name was taken from the county where he had the least poverty, and it remained on the list for the county where he resides. Mr. Justice Park proposed another Gentleman for the ,county from which the name was taken. At the eon elusion of the nomination of three Gentlemen for each county, Mr. Secretary Peel rose and stated, that he had sent instructions to all the Clerks of the Peace, to fur , nisi' the Judges with a list of those Gentlemen qualified to serve as Grand Jurors, and the branches of the families who had served the office of Sheriff. The Right Hon. Secretary wished to know if his instructions had been complied with ? when it appeared, that in some instances they had been complied with, in others they had not. The Earl of Liverpool suggested. that the cases of n•glect ought to be enquired into. Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Justice Park, and Mr. Justice Littledale, declared that the instructions of the Sscre.a , y of State with respect to themselves, had been fully attended to. Mr. Justice Park suggested the propriety of sending the instructions in future to the Clerk of Aslize, in pre ference to the Clerk of the Peace, which will be taken into consideration. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Saturday evening, an Inquest was held before J. W. Unwin, Eq. Coroner, at the Black Horse, Poplar, on the body of Thomas Matthews. The deceased it ap pears went on board a Chatham barge on• the 2d inst. and by some accident falling overboard, was unf it innately drowned. A reward was offered for the body, and on Friday last it was discovered in L'mehouse Dock.—Verdict, , 4 Found Drowned." A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday night, at the White Horse public-house, Knightsbridge, on the body of Ann, the daughter of Mr. Roberts, of Lower Sloan -street, Chelsea, who was burnt to death by her clothes taking fire. The deceased was a pretty, ina teresting girl, only ten years of age. The flame of a candle set her nlgirt dress on fire, and it was burnt to tinder. She went from one room to another during the conflagration, and at last fell down on the fib 'r in a state of insensibility, from which she never recovered. Verdict, " Accidentally burnt to Death." Another Inquest has been held at Mile End, and adjourned, on the body of a poor woman, who was taken to the watch-house in a state of intoxication, and 'wet through from the rain, which fell heavily at the time. The poor creature was inhumanly thrust into a pestiferous hole, called the cage, where she was found dead. • Two MORE COMPANIES GONE'—A Meeting of the London and Manchester Loan Company was held on Saturday, and a statement of its affairs produced, at which the Meeting took alarm, fearing that another call would be made upon them. An irregular cussion took place, when a call of " Dissolve the Company" was heard in the room, and, after some trifling demur, was shaped as a motion, and carried.—The Seam Washing Company's affairs at Clanton, are in the suds.
