Mame. A—nu, ait:sit,t. Fi ;day se'nnight, William Thomson, town's drum mer, fell over the quay at Montrose, in a state of in torrication, and, . although taken out of the water in little mare than two minutes, he was quite dead. Monday se'nnight, a son of Captain DEUCH AR, of the Mai y Ann whaler, belonging to lltindo , !, went in a small boat to fetch a plank from the ship's store yard to the westward of the harbour, he lost his ba lance while steering, fell over the stern of the boat,' and was drowned. This is the second son which Captain DEFCHAR has lost by drowning. • Wednesday evening, aboat eight o'clock, a respec table-looking Gentleman wits observed in limit rres. cot-street leaning against some railings, and groan • ing, very much. Two young men proceeded to his assistance, on which he dropped down and instantly expired. lie was taken to the Golden Lion public house, aad a surgeon sent for, but he was quite dead. The deceased was about six feet in height, and ap parently between SO and 40 years of age. The body .` was carried to Whitechapel workhouse. An Inquest was yesterday held at a public-house at the corner of Ileurietta-street, Covent•garden, on the body of J. Elliott, a tailor, who died suddenly at the house of Mr. Godfrey, of Burleigh-street, into which he had gone, sayin , r he was unwell, and re quested leave to sit down. NPerdict—Died by a Spasm in the Heart. Late on Tuesday night, as Mr. PAsNman, decora tor, Denmark-street, Soho, was returning home with Mr. SMITH, his friend, in a single horse chaise, from a convivial party at flackiiey, the wheel of the chaise caught that of a waggon laden with garden stuff in readiness to proceed the next morning to market, by which it was torn off, and the chaise was upset with a treMendous crash. Mr. PASMORE was for several minutes senseless ; he Nns afterwards carried from the spot, near Ball's Pond Turnpike, to Islington, where it was ascertained that his leg was broken in two places. Yesterday he underwent amputation, and doubts are entertained of his recovery. Mr. Smtru did not receive a single bruise. • Monday evening, as a Gentleman's carriage, with four post horses, was coming down Salthill at a rapid pace, one of the leaders stumbled, and threw the postilion. The man on the wheel horse immediately endeavoured to pull up, but before he could stop the motion of the carriage, the near fore-wheel passed right up the centre of the unfortunate postilion's body, and killed him instantly. His name was said to be Friar,and that he belonged to the Swan Inn, Windsor. A few nights ago, a party of ten or twelve men, all ' well mounted, and armed with swords and pistols, wearing hairy corps and crapes over their faces, cote-, refitted a most daring burglary in the dwelling-house of Mr. John Chapman, of Hollyfield Hall, in the parish of Waltham Holy Cross, in the county of tsset. About two o'clock in the morning, as two of the labouring men were proceeding to the stable, in order to yoke the horses to go to market, they were surprised by the gang, who after tying them together in the stable, threatened to take their lives if they made the least alarm, and ordered them to provide them with a crow bar, in order to force open the street • door; no crow bar being on the premises, they pro cured a plough coulter, with which they forced open the door, leaving one of the party as sentinel over the two men. After gaining an entrance, they tied down the maid servant, who they found had got up ; and whilst some of the party with presented - pistols stood over Mr. Chapman and family, the rest proceeded to rob the house, and succeeded in carrying off 1:74 in bank notes, four watches, and several other articles, and escaped with the booty. ,Thursday sennit,..ht a Gentleman was stopped by a highwayman on the Old Kinsale-road, Ireland—the villain fired a pistol at him, the ball of which passed through his hat, and burnt his hair—his hoise, how ever, starting off at full gallop, saved his property, and, perhaps, his life. Last week, at Paisley, three children by accident. drank some fly-water ; one of them died in thirty-six hours after ; the other two have, with medical assis tance, survived its effects. NFOROSS.—Frotn &mu's Sketches in America:— The emancipated negro, and all who bear affinity with him in the slightest tinge of complexion, are excluded ty the Ages of society from equal participation in those advantages which are the birthright of free men. From the many passages which describe their 'degraded cdndition, we select one, peculiarly striking and significant. Mr. Frataou makes no comment on it, and it needs none : 4 ' ESTIMATION OF NEGROES.—The three African Churches,' as they are called, are for all those native ' s Antericans who are black , or have any shade of co-, lour darker than white. These persons, though many ' , of them are possessed of the I ights of citizenship, are not admitted into the church ts which are visited by whites. There exists a penal law, deeply written in ' , the etinds of the whole white population, which sub jects Their coloured fellow-citizens to unconditional contumely and never-ceasing insult. No respectabi lity, however unquestionable, no property, however large, no character, however unblemished, will gain a man, whose body is (in American estinaationYttisrsed with even a twentieth portion of the blocid of his • African ancestry, admission into society!!!

EARL DIOBY IN THE MATTER or THE DUCHESS DOWAGER OF sensor.* Mr. Aszecnometz applied to the Court, by Peti tion from Lord Digby, praying to have it referred to the Master, whether the Land-tax should or should not be redeemed on the lunatic's estate? LORD CHANCELLOR.—The prayer seems to me very reasonable, I do not see how it can be refused. Granted. DELAYS OF CHANCERY. His LORDSHIP took occasion to rematk, that the public, who complained so much of the delays in the ;udgments of that Court, would be surpricd to learn that there were now not fewer than 260 judgments left uncalled for. This was entirely owing to the negligence of Solicitors. He thought it was neces sary to mention the circumstance now, as he observed so many Solicitors in Court. His LORDSHIP also took an opportunity, when an application was made to him, to say, that he would act strictly upon the rule he had laid down before the long vacation, and put off no cause for any per son whatever. STEPHENS IN THE MATTER OF JONES. The question here was, who should pay the auc tion duties on the sale of an estate belonging to the lunatic Jones, of which Mr. Stephens was the pur chaser. It came before the Court by Petition from Stepheps, praying that the Master's Report should be confirmed. _ ....... The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he should re serve to himself his opinion in a case where the pay ment of the auction duties was left undetermined, - the vender and the vendee being both of sound mind. But this was the sale of a lunatic's estate, the Court would therefore view it very differently. He should by no means confirm the Report. Mr. SHADWFLL.—My client has agreed to pay the duties. ' _ _ LORD CitANcsvcon.--Ile has acted very wisely. A discussion then arose as to who shonld pay the costs of this application, which ended in Mr. Snap- WELL obtaining leave to give in an Affidavit on the subject ; and as his client . was in Wales, tithe was given till Mondarse'nnight. VICE-CIJANCELLOR'S COURT. TEMPEST D. ORD. Mr. BELL presented two Petitions from Messrs. Hoppers and others, Assignees for the bankrupt estate of Mowbray and Co. The first prayed that an order of the Master, fixing the amount of the claims of Mowbray and Co. on the estate of Lady Vane Tempest, be confirmed. Mr. MARTI*, Counsel for the plaintiff, did not ob ject to the order, and it was accordingly confirmed. The other Pet:. .on prayed that the various sums advanced by Mowbray and Co: to a colliery belong ing to the plaintiff, and the amount of which had been agreed to by the Master, be paid by Mr. Lnsch, Agent for the plaintiff, into the hands of the peti tioners, as Assignees for the Bankrupt estate. Mr. BELL stated, that the money advanced to the colliery bad been raised by bills drawn on Mowbray and Co. in London, by the same Firm in Durham. He maintained, ch ar if these Bills were now taken up, Lady Vane Tempest would lose nothing by the measure, since her Banker's account would be re duced exactly in proportion to the amount of the Bills. Mr. MART/N had no objection to the prayers of the Petition, as far as it regarded the balance due. Ot the Bill drawn on the London House of Mowbray and Co. plaintiff's Agents had taken up several, to tke amount of 1,5021. and he hoped that sum would be deducted.. The VILE-CitaNcELLon wished to be informed on this point by the Solicitor for the plaint, but he was not present. It was therefore agreed that the case should stand over till Monday morning. NEWTON V. MANNING. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT presented a Petition from Helen Chester Boinville, on behalf of her son, John Boinville, a minor. The petitioner's husband had left the sum of 16,0001. to be equally divided be tween two children. The testator had directed, that they should not be invested in the money till they were 21 years of age, and that payment should be postponed till the petitioner's death. The eldest of the children is within a month of that age; and is anxious, with the concurrence of his trustees, to en ter without delay on the study of the law. The prayer I of the Petition was, that the interest of John 13oin ville's share of the property left by his father be ap plied to the advancement of his education. The VICE CHANCELLOR laid he had no title to any share of the interest until he was of age. If this ap plication had been made a twelvemonth ago, he would have referred the case to the Master. It ap peared strange that such a Petition should be pre sented now, since the minor would be of age in the course of one month. He should, however, agree to refer it to Mr. Cox, the Master, to determine what sum ought to he allowed the Petitioner's son, in order to viable him to prosecute his studies. IN THE MATTER OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. Mr. FONDLANC presented a Petition from thellec tor and Churchwardens of the Parish of St. Ann and Agnes within Alders ate, praying for the advice of the Court under the following circumstances :—The Lord Mayor, under the authority of the new Post office Act, had purchased certain property for which the Petitioners were Trustees. The property was con veyed for 8,6941. which had been vested in the 5 ;owl cent. Bank Annuities. The Petitioners were at a - loss how to act with regard to the application of the' dividends, and begged the advice of the Court. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Fonblanc if the Attorney-Gene-al had received a copy of the Affi davit? and being told that he had got notice of the present application, but not a copy, his Honour said that the application was not regular, and that the Court could not interfere. Ile recommended it to them to amend their Petition, and lay it before the' L Attorney-GeneraL Miss MORGAN, the youn Lady who had been r committed for assaulting an d publiclp charging with a breach of promise of marriage, Mr. Roamer TY LER, a Clerk to Mr. ROLTELL, an eminent So tor in Lincoln's Ind-fields, was yesterday brought up to Court in Guildhall, Westminster, and discharged,, lon entering into her own recognizance, and ending one security, to keep the peace hr 12 months? OW I3.IILEY, Ii:Gr2AI.I3,SR 5. James Ward was inditted for stealing a £4O note, the property of A. Hiscock. It will be recollected, that a few days ago Thomas Morris was convicted of stealing this very note from the present prosecutor, who is coachman to a Mr. Gunter. By the evidence on that trial, it appeared that the brother of the prisoner Morris (James Mor ris) had been sent to get the note changed at a dra• per's shop'in the Strand; that the shopman had been ,ent to the Bank with the note, and that he, instead , of bringing it back, absconded with it. The prisoner Ward, now at the bar, is that very shopman who ran off. Mrs. Phoebe Simmons, the wife of Mr. Simmons, a draper in the Strand, and JamAA Morris, were this day agaih examined, and repeated their former Smithers, the officer, who apprehended Ward, said that the prisoner had informed him that he had lost and spent all the £4O in travelling, and had only portmanteau, a silk handkerchief, and two snuff boxes left. _ _ _ The officer then stated, that the tank clerk, Wil liam Hoole, who had attended on the former trial, now refused to be present, or to produce the Bank note, unless he received a guinea or a subpoena. The, prosecutor had been unable to give the guinea, and the consequence was the absence of the principal witnesss. The REcoanEn.—Have you served him with a subpoena ?—Smithers : I did not think it necessary. The RECORDER.—You should have told me of the circumstante before the trial, or have served him with la subpoena. I would have seen about the guinea when 1 got him here. Smithers repeated, that he did not imagine it had been necessary, as he had attended on the last trial. He told me after the last trial that he would not at tend without a subpccna or a guinea. The RECORDER then told the Jury to acquit the prisoner on account of the absence of this material witness.—The Jury returned a verdict—Not Guilty. Rachel Mitchel was convicted of stealing a quan tity of wearing apparel, the property of Eliz. Wilde. By the evidence it appeared, that the prisoner committed the theft in order to obtain liquor; but in her defence she said that her husband was a great drunkard; and that she and her children had het:. left five days at a time without a morsel of bread to put in their mouths. A Juryman observed, that a few months ago the, prisoner's husband threw her, dead drunk, out of a one-pair of stairs window. The husband was a sober man, and bad frequently worked for him. The P-ECORDER.--HOW long shall we confine her, Gentlemen, to make her sober? _ . A Juryman.--I think she may be sober in a month. The RwostDsa.—Then we will give her two Imonths to bring her completely to her senses. J. Butler, aged 14, was indicted for stealing a dressing-gown, the property of J. The prosecutor lives on the Abbey Farm, Kilburn, and his wife takes in washing. A neighbour was alarmed by his dog barking violently, and on going out to see what was the majter, he observed the pri soner inside Mrs. Pennir's fence, from which he took the dressing-gown, and ran away with it. lie was pursued and taken, after he had dr6pped the pro perty.—Guilty. • Bow-wt./tam—Yesterday DucklllVells was brought to the office by two of the Deal constables, charged with being concerned with several smugglers, in wil fully mardering four of the crew belonging to the Fox Revenue cutter, about three years ago, in re sisting their seizing a vessel laden with smuggled goods. Two of the smuggling party were executed for the murders, and the prisoner was indicted at the same time, but absconded in consequence of being charged with the offence, and till now has eladed the vigilance of the Police, both in London and at DeaL He was yesterday identified as the man who stands indicted for the murders, and was committed. ---------. . UNION Hsu..--A case of importance to coal merchants, wharfiugers, and owners of barges, was yesterday discussed at this Office. Mr. Hubert, .of Nine Elms, Lambeth, barge builder, appeared to a summons for having employed persons to work a barge on the Thames, they not being Freemen of the - Watermen's Company, nor apprentices regularly bound. The complainants, S. Kinderdine and W. Boulton, are Freemen of the Watermen's Company a and on their behalf it was stated, that considerably injury had been sustained by watermen, in conse. quence of coal-merchants, barge-builders, and other owners of craft, employing l:crsons to work their vessels who had not served an apprenticeship to the business, and were disqualified by law and the re gulations of the Waternien's Company for such em ployment. On the day mentioned in the summons, the defendant, who is not a freeman, employed one of his apprentices to work, a barge, from Hunger ford Stairs to Nine Elms. The complainants being aware that he was a non-freeman, went on board the barge, took the possession from the apprentice, and worked the vessel to its destination. They ap plied to Mr. Hubert for .payment for their labour, which he refused, and they preferred the present charge.—On the part of defendant it was contended, that coal-merchants, wharfingers, and woodmon gers, Were exempted from the rules of the Water men's Company, and a proviso in the Rules was pointed out, as the ground of the exemption. Re ference was also had to an Act of the present reign, to prove that owners of barges, being non-freemen, had a right to work their osen craft. After mature consideration, the Magistrates sledded, that a non freeman, being owner of a barge, can only employ such persons to work it as are either freemen of the Watermen's Company or apprentices regularly bound. The complainants stated, that they sought no penalty from the defendant ; they were only desirous of main taMing the rights of the watermen. .Wednesday night, at 11 o'clock, as a Gentleman. named DUNGAY,resident at Cranbrook, in Kent, Was passing along the Borough, near the ::::.f Moon Inn, he was surrounded by five females, some of whom clung round him and confined his arms, n hilst the others robbed him of his pocketbook, containing £l4O, chiefly in notes.
