COURT OF CHANCERY.-THIS DAY. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. 'The LoaD CRANSELLOS at until a quarter to two o'clock, this day, in giving judgment in this cause. His Lordship intimated that he should deal with this as in all partnership concerns, and that the deed of 82 ma tters not destroy that of 1811; but as there were other important to consider, he would finally dispose of the whole to-morrow. SOUTHERN MOTION OF THE STARS. The idea of a soothern motion of the stars , as pro mulgated by the Astron omer Ro y al, has excited some • interest in the country, and for a long time some defect in the instruments of the Observatory of Greenwich has been said to have led to such an idea. We understand, however, that the subject has undergone a thorough investigation by some of the members of the new So ciety for investigating weather and its varieties, and that it turns out to be an error owing to the want of a pro. per subtraction of the necessary refractions. WATER-SPOUT. Strathendry Bleaehdeld, near Kirkaldy, Jan. 29. (=TRACT ►at)X • PRIVATZ 1.11171.10 Yesterday, between twelve and one o'clock (noon), the sky to the westward presented a considerable gloom, and the Bishop-hill was crowned with a very heavy .dense cloud. Between two and three it began to rain, with every indication of a deluge. I instantly ordered in a parcel of yarns that had been hung out in the morn ing for drying: these were not housed above ten minutes when a sudden pressure of the atmosphere made the roof of the boiling-house creak. I ran out to see if any change had taken place: the rain had ceased, the heavy cloud on the Bishop was rising from its bed with ma jestic buoyancy, the haze had cleared away between the hill and the lake (Loch Leven), and shewed a water-spout • of at least Italia mile in diameter, rising perpendicularly from the bosom of the lake, as dense and dark as mid night, while the clear blue sky on both sides, and under the receptacle, shewed its outline in the most beautiful manner. It was of short duration. A light breeze from tae Nr , i di moved it in slow dignified grandeur Isom the surtare of the lake towards Benardy, when the whole mass of clouds passed from North to South, and left a l beautiful serene sky " o' bonnie blue." Thi, morning, when day had dawned so far as to render the state of the Liver visible, two of the workmen standing by the sluice, observing me giving directions to some of the carters, called out :hat there were dis .patches this morning fiom Cowrie, " that the muddy we,tern mail had an reed, with intelligence of an earthly visitation?* I went down and examined the water, and found it as the servants said. From the every-day occurrences, I have been expect ingthis ever since the 6th of September. G. I. • This expression of the workmen alludes to a fact observed on lomeroccasions. When shocks of earthquake have been felt at Comfit, the stream from Loch Leven, which passes Stratheudry, iszs been observed to run muddy—announcing the fact before intel ligence eco!cl arrive by any common conveyance.—lt remains to be "wen whether the indication •oved correct in this instance. CARIA'ET OF SI ANDARD WEIGHTS. The commercial and scientific world will learn with •satishaction that the Standard Weights of Foreign Coun tries, which were some time since transmitted to the British Government, and compared with English Standards, have been lately deposited at the London Mint, in a commodious Cabinet constructed for the pur pose; ssfiere they are to be carefully preserved, for per =anent reference. This National Collection is the first of the kind ever made on a great scale, though long considered a desi deratum. Its utility, which has been already extensively proved, may' be further experienced when any of the Standards in use, whether English or Foreign, shall be come worn or impaired. The folicm ing account of this important Collection is inscribed on the Cabinet : " The Foreign Weights here deposited, having been duly verified, were transmitted so London, in the year 1818, by the British Con suls abroad, in pursuance of a general plan, for comparing the Weights, Measures, and Monies of all trading countries by official experiments en verified Standards. 'Me expel iments were made by Robert Bingley, Esq. the King's Assay-master of the Mint; and the calculations by Dr. Kelly, who planned an,: conducted the general comparison, and in 1821 published the results in the Unireraal Cambial, under the unc tion of his Majesty's Uovcrnmeta. "The undertaking was originally patronized and recommended by the Board of Trade. The Standards were procured from abroad by Circular Letters issued by Viscount Castlereagh and Earl Bathurst, Secretaries of State for the Foreign and Colonial Depart ments; and the whole plan was essentially promoted by Lord Ma rlborough, Master of the Mint."

The Emperor of Brazil, Don PEDRO, is said to be a Tood turner and goldsmith, and besides is a proficient an various other mechanical arts. Several elegant snuff "boxes arein Europe made by him, as well as a golden key used by the Chamberlains in attendance on the King. A circumstance occurred lately in Paris which merits notice inasmuch as it shews the anxiety of at least one branch of the French Royal Family to preserve respect for this country. The Duchess de Berri gave a soiree, which was concluded by a dramatic piece called Les Augluises pour rite," which is a sharp satire upon the customs and manners of the English. When the King heard of this circumstance, he sent for the Duchess de Beni, and insi,ted upon her making an apology to Sir ChAile3 Stewart, for the insult which she had put upon tie English character. The Duchess remonstrated, but obliged to yield, and the apology was made ac c'''Llingly. Sir Charles, on receiving it, said, her Royal ngliness was unnecessarily concerned on this subject, for that neither personally nor as the Representative of a great nation, did such trifles ever Elwell in his mind.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEBRUARY s. COVENT-GARDICN THEATRE. CONST V. HARRIS. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know what Mr. Shadwell, on the part of Mr. Harris, had to say, after reading the deed of 1822? Mr. SHADWELL had only to say, that Mr. Harris was confident no more than 12,0001. could be got from any person as a rent for the Theatre; and as that was now agreed to be given for it by the provisions of the deed of 1822, he was willing to pay Mr. Const his aliquot part, which, for his eighth share in the Theatre, would amount to 1,5001. His LORDSHIP observed, that the difficulty arose in this manner: the deed of 1812 provided that the debts of the Theatre should be discharged in a certain way ; therefore, how could a parcel of those individuals, par ties to the deed of 1812, subsequently enter into a dif ferent arrangement? Mr. SHADWELL was of opinion that his Lordship's difficulty might be removed, by being informed that the creditors to be paid by the profits arising from Mr. Coast's share, amounting to £6OOO, had agreed to have the payments postponed. Mr. Whitton (solicitor for Mr. Const) disclaimed all knowledge of any such agreement. Mr. SHADIVELL WWI then unable to say anything further; therefore, if his Lordship thought the motion ripe for judgment, he could only leave it in the hands lof the Court. His LORDSHIP wished to know if Mr. Const had any thing to staterespecting the proposal of being paid 13001.? Mr. Whitton said No. His LORDSHIP then was of opinion, that as Mr. Hart was absent, in consequence of ill health, if he were to give judgment now it would not be satisfactory; there fore the better way would be to order that it should stand for judgment to-morrow, or the first day on which Mr. Hart might be able to attend. IMPORTANT TO SOLICITORS-TAXING Ot COSTS. On a motion relative to the taxation of costs, proceed ing from differences between a Solicitor and his client, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, I understand there are Solicitors in the profession, who say to a suitor, I will not transact your business, unless you pledge yourself not to tax rny bill of costs; now, upon that practice I have not the smallest hesitation in declaring, that if such a distinct case shall ever be proved before me, I will that instant strike that Solicitor's name off the Rolls of the Court—yes, even though he were the very highest in the profession. V ICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEBRUARY S. NAYLER V. WYNCII. This was a bill filed by the plaintiff, praying the Court to invalidate a deed, by which she had assigned over all excepting her life interest, in a sum of 12,0001. which had been left to her in India, by a Gentleman, to be en joyed by her as an annuity for life, and then to descend to her heirs, if any, or if none, to revert to the executors. The deed was sought to be invalidated on the ground of there being no consideration, and that it was a frau dulent deed, in the sense in which the term fraud is used in this Court. After Counsel had been beard on both sides, the Vice-CiinncELLon proceeded to pronounce judgment. A Gentleman, he observed, of the name of Wynch, dying in India, in 1797, had bequeathed to the plain tiff an annuity of 6001. for her life. w ith entail to her heirs, if any, or in the event of her having no heirs to revert back to the heirs of the testator. — Trustees had been appointed, to whom the property necessary to be invested for the securing of the annuity was transferred, and a deed was signed by the plaintiff, in which she agreed to receive an investment of twenty thousand pagodas (she then residing in India), as a full security for the annuity bequeathed. Some years after the legatee, a Lady, came over to England and married a Gentleman of the name of Hare NA yler. About this time the great diminution which had taken place in the rate of interest paid in India, had diminished the income derivable from the pagodas full twenty-five per cent.— This induced her to file a bill to compel property to be invested in the English funds adequate to the securing to her the annuity of 600/. per annum bequeathed to her. After this suit had been protracted some time, she' agreed with the Trustees to withdraw it, on payment of its costs, and on their agreeing to invest a sum adequate to the paying her the annuity for life, and also on cer tain contingencies, paying to her husband, if he sur vived her, the sum of 3001. per annum. In considera tion of these advantages, she gave up to the Trustees all her reversionary interest in the will of Mr. Wynch. Her husband had since died— she therefore now sought to set aside the above deed, on the plea of fraud, and of no consideration having been given. His Honour proceeded at considerable length to state and to sustain his opinion, that no fraud was imputable, and that the terms of the deed sufficiently proved that there had been a consideration given. He therefore dismissed the bill, and pronounced the deed to be good and valid. On application by the Counsel of the defendants, the Vice-Cltancellor ordered them their costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 5. SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. SOAMS V. LANINGEN. This had been a question upon the construction of a charter-party. The plaintif f had at Cadiz chartered the St. Patrick, and had made the terms of the charter conditional, upon the arrival of another ship, the Grant, also chartered by him at a certain port in South America, within a specified time, from which the St. Patrick was to carry a cargo to Europe. St. Place, in California, was the place first mentioned; Guyaquil, in Peru, was afterwards substituted. The charterer had agreed to pay 6,0001. for the St. Patrick, which was to go from London in ballast. In the charter-party of the St. Patrick, the charter became void if the Grant should not arrive at Guyaquil at the time stipulated. She had been captured by Lord Cochrane, and detained at Lima fora considerable time. She arrived at Guyaquil too late, and without a cargo. The owners of the St. Patrick brought their action to recover from the charterer an indemnity for the sum of 6,000/. The Lord Chief Justice at the trial put it to the Jury to find whether the delay was occasioned through the fault of the Captain of the Grant, and di• rected them, if they thought that it was not occasioned by the fault of the Captain, to find their verdict for the defendant. The Jury found for the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL afterwards obtained a rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted on the grounds of misdirection by his Lordship in point of law, and of the verdict being contrary to the evidence. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. POLLOCK shewed cause. Non-arrival must be non-arrival, for the purposes of the voyage. The Grant had arrived, but after the time specified, and after the St. P.strick had been chartered for another purpose, and sailed from Guyaquil. The proviso making the charter-party void, on the non-ar rival of the Grant came into operation. The ATTORNEY-GENERA I. and Mr.CAmPaaLt. argued that the defendant became in law responsible for the arrival of the Grant, and that these was improper delay on the-part of the Captain of the Grant, his servant, in stopping so long at St. Place. Their lordships, after full statements of their views of the question, refused a new trial: Rule discharged. THE KING W. JOHN ANDERSOIT. Mr. JESSOP on a former. day obtained a Rule calling on the prosecutors to shew cause why the defendant, who stands committed by the Justices of Norwich on a charge of receiving stolen goods, viz. a quant'ty of silk from a man and his wife, should not be admitted to bail. The application was made on affidavits, stating that the charge against the defendant was (minded upon inconsistent statements. The bargain said to have been entered into for receiving the g3ods was made be fore the robbery was committed. (hi the whole it was alledged, that there was not sufficient matter to justify the Magistrates in committing the man. It was also urged, that the defendant, who had received many dangerous wounds at the battle of Nate, 'Go, was on that account greatly injured by confinen.e.it in prison. Mr. H. COOPER this day shewed cause against the rule. He was prepared with long affidavits to justify the commitment, and prove that the defendant might not to be bailed. In Norwich, persons were deeply in tere,ted in the silk trade, and in consequence of depre dations committed upon the manufacturers, the Ma gistrates could not be too vigilant in securing offenders, and bringing them to justice. The Learned Counsel read the depositions, by which it appeared the defen dant had been seen with the person charged with steal ing the silk a shoi t time before the robbery. The COURT not wishing to prejudice the defendant by going into a discussion of the charges, were induces' to admit him to bail. They accordingly ordered the i defendant to be bailed, taking his own recognizance in 801. and two others in 201. each. TILE KING V. ROBERT ALDRIDGE. The defendant having been committed by the Magis trates for carrying goods liable to forfeiture, namely smuggled brandy, was brought up to be discharged, upon an objection taken by Mr. PLATT to the form of the warrant. The Learned Counsel contended that the warrant was not made out in the form directed by the Act of Parliament, and therefore it was bad. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, it certainly did not state that the defendant upon the oath of the informer had been found carrying smuggled goods. It only stated that he had been found carrying brandy. In con sequence of the informality the defendant must be dis charged. He was discharged accordingly. RUSSIAN LOAN NECOCIATED ay MR. N. M. ROTHS CHILD, IN LONDON.—The Half-yearly Dividend on the above Loan, which becomes due on Saturday the Ist of March next, will be paid by Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD on that and every succeeding day (Sundays excepted), be tween the hours of Ten and Two, at his Counting house, No. 2, New-court. The Dividend Warrants, with a List thereof in numerical order, must be left one day previous to payment, for the purpose of being examined. By the Unity, arrived in the Clyde from Para, whence she sailed on the 23d November, it appears all was quiet at that date, and business going on as usual. It appears by intelligence received from Jamaica that the appointment of Consuls to the South American States has already given a stimulus to trade with the Spanish Main. The Consul-General and Consul for Colombia had been received at Barbadoes with a gene ral demonstration of satisfaction and respect, and a san guine expectation prevailed throughout the Islands, of a rapid extension of trade with Spanish America. Seve ral principal houses are on the point of establishing branches in Colombia, the probable amount of commer cial ifttercourse with which is expected to be not less than four millions sterling, when the arrangements shall have been definitively established, on a footing which may induce the merchants to ship with confidence. A very alarming fire broke out in the candle manu factory of Mr. Bridgman, in Spicer -street, Brick-lane, Spital-fields, about a quarter before six o'clock this morning, which threatened destruction to the neigh bourhood, but by the prompt arrival of engines, and a good supply of water, the devouring element was stopped, after burning the candle manufactory to the ground, and doing a great deal of damage to the ad joining houses. Mr. Bridgman is insured. Since the arrival of Hunt on board the Justitia hulk, at Woolwich, he has been set to work, along with the rest of the convicts, in Woolwich Warren. He will be conveyed on board the Countess of Harcourt, convict ship, from Woolwich, about three weeks hence, to New South Wales, his future destination. The house of Mr. Justice HANSON, at Hammersmith, was, on Tuesday night, broke open and robbed of about 201. in cash, and some articles of plate from the side board. No less than five houses on the Lower Mall at that place have been broken open in the course of the last fortnight. A thumb pottle of green grapes, for making tarts, was yesterday exposed for sale in Covent-garden, for Bs. Strawberries, in large pottles, were also at market. A few nights back, the stable of Mr. Wm. Davis, of Redwinter Hall, near Saffron Walden, was brcke open, and a valuable horse stolen thereout. Thirty horses have been stolen in the same neighbourhood recently. Wednesday night, a woman took an infant, two months old, in her arms, to a Concert at Bagnigge wells, and, on going to give it the breast, she f = ound it dead, supposed to be smothered by having its lace too closely pressed to her bosom. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—The Diligence passing between Narbonne and Perpignan was turned over on the night of the 22d and 23d, between Sigeau and which was occasioned by a wolf crossing the road, a:id running between the legs of the horses, so that they were ten itied and ran off.—French Paper. Saturday week, James Shaw, a bankrupt, was com mitted to Hull Jail, by the Commissioners, for not satis factorily answering as to the di%covery of his estate. The premises of Mr. Moore, plumber, in Desville's row, Hammersmith, having been recently robbed of large quantities of lead, he deemed it necessary to plant a spring-gun to prevent further depieJations, entrusting to an apprentice-boy to remove the springs of a morn ing. This duty, however, the lad forgot to fulfil on Tuesday morning, and, on Adams, one of the workmen, entering the spot, he received the contents in his legs, from which upwards of 60 shot have been extracted. The fright and agitation has had such an effect on the poor man as to cause considerable doubts of his recovery. , PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. DOUSE OF LOADS, FEBRUARY S.

THE FINE Aars.—A remarkably fine Engraving of that eminent Surgeon, Sir ASTIIEY Coopsft, has just been published by Messrs. Huftsr, ROBINSON, and Co. The likeness is most striking, and the execution admi rable, doing infinite credit to the taste and talent of the Artist, Mr. J. ALMS. Pro Deo et Patria were the words proposed to Fag. DERICK 11. to adorn his standard in the Silesian war; but he erased pro Deo, saying, that it would be very improper to confound the name of Goo with the quar rels of men, and that he was going to war for a pro vince, and not for religiose. He then oidered the Roman eagle displayed in relievo, and fixed on the top of a gilt pole, to be carried before his regiment of guards. This novelty, of course, insinuated the necessity of its being invincible. Mrs.JEBB, wife of the Physician of that name, was a woman of great talent, and entered into a literary con troversy with Dr. POWELL, Master of St. .John's, Cam bridge, respecting the subscription to the 39 Articles.
