VICE-CIIANCELLOMS COURT, 1114RCII 24. TBt ATTORNILT-teItLAL V. TIM . 11CINVille costekar. Ti l ls was a question affecting the right of appointing a Master to Tonbridge Free School. The right was claimed by the Corporation of Lincoln College and All Souls, Oxford. This establishment was founded in the seventh of Edward the Sixth. By the grant of its founder, the right of instructing the Skinners' Company to ap point a Master was vested in the College " Beatee Ma- Tier, Cl Ootniunt Sandorum Lincolnii, Oxon." Now there was no College at Oxford answering to that name. The c o llege of All Souls was called " Collegiunt aninzarum own i um . The whole difficulty arose from the wording „i•the grant; the Master reported that he could assign ;;) any par:icular College this right, as the description id no ; a nswer any of the Colleges of the University. • Mr. HOKNE now applied to the Court on bithalf of All Souls, to have the right declared for that College. However doubtful the wording of the grant might have been, this College had certainly been used to en joy this right. In proof of this, he cited Sir William Blackstone and two old topographical works, where it was taken for granted that this right was vested in that College. He also referred to entries in the register of Oa College, to chew that the Founder of the Free School had connexions with All Souls. In this register his name was marked with an aster isk, to denote that he had a brother a member of All Souls. Upon this evidence then of reputation, independent of the ....olds of the grant, the Court was called upon to pronounce in favour of All Souls. Mr. resnisurou appeared for the College of All Souls, and Mr. Gnaw for Lincoln Co:lege. The N'icic.Cu.suexxl. , :ft asked what the Attorney-General said to this? fr.. !TART said that there was no objection on the p art of the Crown to the motion. It was proper, how ever, to state that the right now claimed had not been exercised by either of ,the Colleges for two centuries; this, in fact, it had passed from thenr into other hands. ILe Vice-CitA:sext.z.ou said the question was to the repudiation of the right. IIAILT said he did not understand that the Colleges h.id re pudiated the right now claimed. They had merely not exercised it. '1;:e VICE-ChIANCELLOR said, that as there was DO ( .I,:rction from any other parties, he had no difficulty in eeciaiing that this right ought to rest in the College of! All Souls. NVith regard to cost's, the order of the Court was, that all the costs should be laid out of the fund. 011 A 1 01110. DRURY-LANE.The particular attraction of last niqht's musical entertainment was a Manuscript Sacred Oratorio, entitled The Prophecy, which was performed for the first time. The excellency of the music an swered the expectation of the Public, and the com poser, though he concealed himself under the modest name of an amateur, proved plainly that he possesses the merit and science of a very distinguished artist. In the third part, BRAIIAM'S Bonny Lassie, was Mice encored. The 1-lorke was crowded. I VMARKET TIMATRE.--Mr. TI ELIVALL'S Fifth.

Richard the Third, as conceived by SUAKSPEARE, he shewed to be far different from that pointrayed by some of the actors of the present day, ;,:id :cad a most excellent lesson to actors in general.— lle was warmly applauded throughout. OLYMPIC THEATIAE.—Last night Messrs. MAFFEY, brothers, of the Vela Lazary de Paris, opened their performances at Thtatre. The hrst part consisted of a Grand Military Mimo Dra:aa. in which aU the pomp, marches, charges of cavalry, coma 1) as. and conflagrrlons of war were represented with great effect. A burlesque Pantomime followed, which created much amusement ; aud the astonishing feats of the French Juggler, I\l r. Fr.t.tx Tuvrow, CNA the whole. Tar performances obtained much deserved ap plause from a very numerous and genteel audience. AFFAIR OF HONOUR. DUBLIN, MARCH 22. " Nine men in buckram suits !!" Ia a former Number we stated that, in consequence of a misunderstanding between P. Ledwich, Esq. and James Mahon, Esq. those Gentlemen had been put under arrest, to prevent the matter being terminated in the usual honourable way. The parties having been bound over in a thousand pounds to keep the peace, we under stand that immediately after, Mr. Mahon not being satis fied, tent to Mr. Ledwich, requesting him to meet him in France at as early a day as convenient. This being acceded to, and the preliminary arrangements entered into, Mr. I.,dwich le!t - this city on Friday morning last for London, %%bete it was appointed that the pa: ties should meet at the S k iing-garden Coffee-hou.e, Cock spur-street, previous to embarking for the Continent. 'The sailing of Mr. Ledwich for London was instantly intimated to Mr. Mahon by Mr. Ledwich's friend. Tuesday following, Mr. 11. another friend, at present a fellow Commoner of Trinity College, made some ob- SerVatiOllS relative to that Gentleman, in consequence of which we are informed a posse a la militaire (braided frock coats, screwed spurs, &c.) waited on Mr. If. re• quiring to know from lrith whether lie had made use of certain expressions impeaching the courage of the former Gentleman ?. Mr. 11. replied that not having a very good memory he would refer him to his informant, and that it he had used such expressions he had no hesitation in referring him to his (Mr. H.'s) friend, on which one of the Gentlemen observed that he would ascertain the part;cula:s that evening, and call on him the following ruorr.ing ; but it %sould appear the matter has since re mained in stain quo, the gallant sons of Mars not having thought i)roiet to repeat their visit!!! . We are imermed the misunderstanding above alluded to was owing to a Gentleman having stated in Hayes's Tavern, Dawson -street, that the Catholic Association were a bigoted set, and injurious to the cause they pre. slimed to a deocate.—The /risk Times.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday, a Quarterly General Coost *as held at the East India House, when the CriAseris laid before the Court several papers relating to the allowances, compen sations, and superannuations, granted under the by-laws. TheCH A I RatAN having put the queition of adjournment, Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD rose, and asked what pro gress had been made by the Court of Directors, in the selection of the papers ordered by the COtut of Proprie tors, respecting the Marquis of Hastings's administra tion of India? He was aware that some time was ne cessary to select such voluminous papers, and that it was advisable they should not be distributed until the whole were printed in a collected form: but he thought that it would be very desirable, pending the prngi ess of selection, that some general information should be com municated respecting their tenour, as it might be deemed necessary to call for other papers than those which were deemed sufficient by the Court of Directors. He of course supposed that the selection would comprise a general view of the military, political, and financial ad ministration of the Noble Marquis. lie begged also to ask if it were intended to print, among the others, an expos drawn up by Lord Hastings himself upon this subject ? These were likewise some other papers which had, he understood, been transmitted to the Court of Directors, and he was anxious to know whether they would be in cluded ?mong the papers intended to be printed ? The CHAIRMAN, in answer to the questions k% hiCh had been put, said, that progross had been made in the se lection of the pipers alluded to, and arrangements en tered into for having them printed; but it was not in ter.ded to deliver any part until the whole were com• pleted. The paper or expos(' of the Marquis of Hastings would most undoubtedly be printed with the rest, as well as the other papers alluded to, if he understood the Honourable Proprietor to refer to certain papers sent in to the Court of Directors by an Honourable Baronet - . The papers respecting Messrs. Palmer's house would be also torthcoming—ot course those relatin g to the Nepali], Maliratta, and Pindarree wars, with political docu ments connected with those events, would be included among the others. The military part of the selection was nearly completed, and no doubt every facility would be afforded to the Honourable Mover and his fritnds, to consider whether •aey other papers besides those selected by the Court of Directors were necessary for his view of the subject. Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD ., asked whether any idea. could be formed of the time when the papers would be, ready for deliveiy ? The CHAIRMAN was sorry to sly that 'he could not define the time, as the political selection had not been yet determined upon; for some of the papers were in the possession of the Secret Committee, and an appli• cation had been made to the Board of Controul for permission to produce them. Until the answer was known, lie could not say when these papers would be ready ; but he could assure the Honourable Proprietor that the Court of Directors would lose no time in com pleting the necessary selection. Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD said that it was very de sirable to know, as soon as possible, how far the Board of Controul n.eant to comply with the requisition transmitted respecting the secret documents; for if they were not forthcoming, the Court of Proprietors might be placed in an embarrassing situation when they came to discuss the general question. TheCtsitiam AN wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not say these papers Would be withhed; but he could give no positive answer until the opinion applied for was given. Mr. TRANT said, that as financial papers were al luded to, he thought it would be desirable that a state ment should be made, sliming the revenues of the ceded territories under the Bengal Administration, at the time when the Marquis Wellesley was at the head of the Indian Government, and when the Marquis of Hastings was there. These papers might become ma terial, although at first view their connection was not so apparent. The CHAIRMAN replied, that every paper would be produced which was calculated to elucidate the Marquis of Hastings's Administration in India. On the question of adjournment being again put, General THORNTON rose to submit a motion. The CHAIRMAN informed him that he might put a question; but that no motion could supersede - the one for adjournment, according to the, practice of the Court. General Tuottirroe persisted in pressing upon the consideration of the Court the following Resolution; his object being, he said, to have it put on record, to stand as a suggestion to the Court of Directors : " Resolved, That it be recommended to the Court of Directors to take into immediate consideration the propriety of giving the ne cessary notice for the purpose of a reduction of the present annual iiitoest of aa per cent. paid on India Bonds; a measure which, it appears to this Court, would not only be beneficial to the Pro pt ietors , but likewise advantageous to the Public ; the present pre mium per centum paid for India Bonds being about 80s. rendering it manifest that the existing interest is unnecessarily high, and there lore injurious to the Proprietors, whilst the Public is deprived of that accommodation which India Bonds, at a moderate premium, are so well calculated to afford." A long conversation then took place between the CHAIRMAN, Deputy CHAIRMAN, Mr. 1). K INNAIRD, and General THORNTON, upon the point of order, when at length the Hou: General permitted his motion to stand as a notice for the next Court. HAILEYBURY COLLEGE. Mr. D. KINNAIRD said, that as he , hoped to have a large majority upon the ballot respecting Haileybury Coaege—(A laugh)—he was anxious to know what ul terior steps the Court of Directors meant, in that event, to pursue? Ti'e CHAIRMAN said, that if that majority should un fortunately occur, it would be the duty of the Cou: t of Directors to frame a Petition to Parliament, to give ef fect to the decision of the Court of Proprietors.—The Court their adjourned. HUNT.—A vessel, having the convict Hunt on board, put into Torbay on Tuesday evening last, by contrary winds. It excited so great a sensation in lirixham, that many of the inhabitants went off, on the following day, to see the delinquent, whose name stands so high in the calendar of crime.

The Anniversary Festiv7r:f this useful and patriotic Society, was -celebrated yesterday at the City of London Tavern by a grand dinner. Ms Royal Highness the Duke of CLARIECIL was in the Chair, supported by Lord BOLTON, Vice-Admiral Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, K.C.B. Vice-Admiral Sir It. STAFFORD. K.C.B. KEITH DOUGLAS, Esq. M.P. T. WII.soN, Esq. M.P. Captain WooLsres, Captain Palmy, Shawn THORNTON, Esq. and many commercial men of the first respectability. After the cloth had been removed, ig The King' was drank with four times four, and followed by the national anthem, the company joined in the chorus. Mr. S. THORNTON, as the elder Vice-President, then gave " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, and thanks to him tor his gracious condescen sion in presiding over the meeting of the day." Ilk Royal Highness expressed his gratitude for the hand some manner in which his health had been drank, and his best wishes for, the prosperity of the Society. The Navy" then having been drank with rapturous applause, Admiral Sir It. STOPFORD returned thanks in the name of the Naval Officers preseht, and of the Pro fession in general, for the honour which had been con• ferred . upon them. The Duke of CLAnstscE then rose to give a toast, which he was sure needed only to be named to be re• ceived with approval. It was unnecessary for him to' recount the otigin and the history of the Society ; they all knew that it had existed many years and had con ferred great benefits on the sea service in general. In 1823, it had received on its books 801 boys, 225 of whom had been sent to sea in the King's service, 216 in that of the East India Company ? and '276 in the Mer chants' service. In the present year, from the Ist of January to March 24, 257 boys had already been re ceived, of whom 21 were employed in the King's ser vice, 103 in that of the East India Company, and 112 in the Merchants' service. These were proofs of the good manasement of that Charity ; and of the great be nefits which it produced. His Royal Highness concluded by 4iving—" Prosperity to the Marine Society." '1 his toast having been enthusiastically drank, the boys paraded the room, bearing the Union Flag, and at tended by their Masters. They looked clean and well, and on leaving the room gave the Royal CHAIRMAN and the company three hearty cheers. Several other toasts were then proposed and drank, and at ten o'clock his Royal Highness retired, and the Chair was filled by Mr. MVSPRATT. The donations and subsciiptions received in the course of the day amounted to the sum of 660/. The Lord Mayer of Dublin (Sstmt) was yesterday examined at considerable length before the Arlizatis' Committee — Mr. Hume in the Chair. The Committee did not break up till half-past four o'cicck. The following are some further particulars of the ore which took place on Monday morning at %Voobvich, .a brief acc3unt of which we gave in our ht,t : It commenced on the premises of Mr. Chambers, a baker and flour-factor, - situated, with about 12 others, in a vall,y called Ash down, in the parbh of Woolwich, and was first discovered about three in the morning, by a young man, named Kent, in Mr. C.'s employ, who was awoke by a suffocating smell ; he got up and opened the winalow of his room, which was on the third floor of bis master's house, and had :scarcely returned to his bed,.before he was alarnlrd,by a noise at the bottom of the house, which. he thought was water, but on opening the room door, found a torrent of flame and smoke rushing up stairs ; he instantly proceeded to alarm his master and all the family, and having done so, attempted to get down stairs - himself, but found it impos sible ; he then jumped out of a window, and alarmed the neighbours. Mr. Chambers, at this dreadful juncture, retained much self-posses sion, and collecting his family, six in number, into the front first floor room, closed the door, and flinging a bed into the street-, causrd four of his children to jump'out ; the two youngest were thrown out.—Mrs. Chambers fainted, and was obliged to be lowered into sonic persons' arms. Mr. Chambers had scarcely got into the street when the flames furiously rushed upwards, and burst forth at each window, communicating to the adjoining houses of Mr. Parkinson and Mn Shipt, which were also in a few minutes in Mantes, as were all the houses on the spot, back and front. The flames were com pletely subdued by live o'clock in the morning. Mr. Chambers is, pat tialiy insured. SUNDAY 3101LNINUS SPORTING. Sta—l feel persuaded you will, with your acctwoma courtesy, allow me, through the medium of your raper, to direct the attengs non of the Magistratcs to a nuisanc., of no inconsiderable Magni tude: I allude, S:v, to the numerous sp)rang chureete,'s who ingest" the sulgurhs of the Metropolis on Sunday mornings. It is impossl bge to pass through xuy of the fields leading to Hampstead, High gate, Ste. without mceting several parties of idle fellows with fowl ing pieces, and who, iu order to make sure of their game, which consists of , and sparrows, invAtiably carry their gunicocked, to the NITA' of p:ti.letiuts, mellow bu411c63 or pleat.ute may lead them in that directira. Surely, Mr. Editor, this is an evil which calls loudly for suppression ; and in the hope of its mveling the eye of individuals in whose power its extirpation rests, I have been in duced, thus briefly, to trouble you on the subject. J .7 - 0r 1 . 11 .777.1 • , ,` , ' ronon Y. Jilin MU Wagstaff, the perton charged with forgery, was lids morning brought up fur further examination, and the Mice wa s crowd, d to excess. Sir lticusso BIRNIE asked if any persons prevent had fresh charges to prefer against the prisoner, in, addition to what took place on Saturday but no one answering, Sir Richard said be .bad put off the final examination until this day, in consequence of a Gentleman stating that he wouhl come forward and prove that he had seen forged checks in the prisoner's possession ; that Gentleman however not attending, he could not delay the proceetlings, and if any further charges were toile brought against him they could do it at the Se:slims. The prisoner wa. then fully committed for trial. ASSIZE lATELLIGENCE. SUSSEX ASSIZES, HORSHAM, MARCIT e+. CHARGE OF NIURDEtt. raker Goeringe wa,'put to the bar, charged on the Coroner's Incprisition with the wilful murder of Martha Ann Jewell, by drowning her at East Grinstead, on the 11• th of February laA. The ptisoutr, who had attained her fifteenth year since her conttnitn.enr ► IA as a slight interesting gir), and appeared greatly afltcted at her situation. Mr. COOWTOOPE stated the case for the prosecution in the most candid and dispassionate manner, and sug gested such topics as were most favourable to the pri• wirer. lle put it to the Jury, whether the fatal event ,which they were assembled to inquire into, was not more probably the result of_ pure accident, than any wilful or malicious feeling which migl►t have entered the heart of so young a person as the prisoner, who, be yond all question, had always shewn the greatest dice tion for tho deceased: The parents of the deceased were not influenced by any unkind feeling towards the pri• .oner, on the contrary, they were most sr riling to sup pose that her conduct was free from !Loral blame. This prosecution was conducted at the instance of the parish officers of East Grinstead, who had no other motive than to see justice fairly admihiste:ed as well to the public as to the prisoner. The facts were simply these :—The prisoner, who was servant to the parents of the child, took it in her arms to the wash-house, and while 'dipping a kettle into the copper to fill it to wash another of the children, the child swayed back and fell into. the copper, which alarmed the prisoner so much that she fell down senseless ) and when recovered was in such a state, she was afraid to tell her mistress what had become of the child. The LORD CHIEF BAR sunin.ed up the evidence with great feeling. suggesting that there was a total absence of any n►aliciuus motive imputabit to the pri soner. Indeed it was highly improbable that any such feeling could have been ha: boured. The probability was, that the poor infant lost its life in the manner stated, and if the Jury were of this opinion, they would say so by their verdict.—Not Guilty. Some humane persons present kingly offered to take care of, and provide fur her. HEREFORD. • TREBLE V. CADKIN. Mr. CAMPBELL stated that this was an action for de famation, br ought by the plaintiff, a wine -merchant, 11 ,, aitist the defendant, who was an auctioneer. Mr. Daniel Thomas stated, I am a partner in the hank at Pembroke. The plaintiff is a wine-merchants . The defendant CA: I yes on the business of an auctioneer. I saw the defendant at Pembroke; I was on horseback, he was on foot. He asked, " have you heard of any thing up the street ?" I said nothing, but Tom George's; his effects were then selling. The defendant said, " that is not what I allude to ; there is something higher up the street than that." I said, " whet e?" "He said, " I won't say where." I was going on, when he added, it is at T-r-e-b-1-e s, speaking each letter separate. It is impossible to be at Treble's," I said. He said it is true, a bailiff is in the house, and I expect him at my house in - the evening to give orders about the sale. The plain tiff kept cash at our bank ; his account stood very well. I looked at it immediately. On hearing this, I told the plait Uff I had heard. W. Lewin and Henry Johnstone,gave similar evidence. George Bowling, clsrk to the plaintiff's attorney, stated-L.—l called on the defendant before the'action was brought, and said to him that the plaintiff would be per fectly satisfied if the defendant would contradict the re port in the Papers. He refused. George Bowling, sen. Attorney for the plaintiff, stated that, after the bringing the action, he asked the defendant to contradict the report. Ile is an auc. ti.mileet of the hest business in Pe:nbroke. The Learned Juneit —t don't know WhetherjWales is a good country far an auetioi.eer. Mr. C. is a better country for an Attorney than for an auctioneer. Mr. C. PHILLIPS addressed" the Jury for the defen dant. Ile complained of the case being brought more than 100 miles, instead of being u ied at the Great Ses sion", and stated the reason to be, that the plaintiff did not wish it to be tried where he was known. The plaintiff had sustained no actual damage, and the de fendant had given up the aich , ir. The plaintiff's Counsel had stated the plaintiff to be a wine -merchant; he was, besides, a druggist; but his Counsel sunk the drugs, for fear the Jury should think they found theii way into the wine-cellar—(4 laugh). The plaintiff was considei ably driven to make out the defendant a man of property ; fur when he had called wit:T.ess after wit ness, he called his Attorney, and his clerk just the Same as an eminent Attorney in tl:e Sister Kingdom, who gave a great many briefs. and at the end'of every one he always 'put " Nota Bene— If these proofs do not appear to be sufficient, call my clerk, Terence O'Flanuigan, who will swear up to anything." )*Yerdict for the plaintiff—ll trnagli, NORFOLK. tan.ToN e.

It was admitted that this action was really brought by the Solicitors, and for the benefit of the Norwich Equitable Insurance , Office, Which bad satisfied the amount of Mrs. Hilton's loss; but the Learned Judge, In summing up, observed, that the liability of the I fin:tired to make good the damage by incendiat fires, notwith standing the previous payment by an Insurance Company, had been fully determined in the Courts above ; and rightly en, for otherwise these Offices must put a higher rate of insurarc upon prop'rty liable to tlica. dre,allu'l Jets ul malignity, and then fore the cost to the owners of Atch proper . ty woe: 1 evet:tually be the same.—Verdict for plaintiff, damage s ITS& A Second Number of Points a f I Innzwt r, by GEORGE CRumsnAsic, has ju.;t apreartd ; and the hest ccmcliment we can ray it iq, that.we tieinVit even better than the rim,.
