ar LAW INTELLIGENCE, COURT OF CHANCERY, j. Mr. Katonr applied for a writ of Habeas, directed to the Keeper or Newgate, requiting him to bring up a Mr. Alexander Isaacs, a merchant of high respectabi lity, now confined in that prison, under a warrant from the Comraissioners of Bankrupts. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that Mr. Isaacs might be brought up to-morrow. IN THIS MATTIIR OP POLES, A BANKRUPT. This was the Petition of the bankrupt, praying that the commission sued out against her might be suPto seded, on the ground that the bond passed to the-Lord Chancellor by the petitioning creditor, stated that the bankrupt had been indebted to him, Was. Gerrard Scudder, without adding that he, in common with ano ther Gentleman, were the executors of a Mr. Hawkins, or in any manner Rating, that the debt was due to both executors in that capacity. I n support of the Petition, affidavits were made by Mr. Smith, a solicitor, and his son, setting forth, that upon examining the bond at the Bankrupt Office, they found it in its original defective state; but, that upon subsequently inspecting it, they perceived that the omission had been supplied by inter lining the words," and to Wm. Harris, executor of the but will and testament of George Harris." In opposi tion to the Petition, it was alleged , that t he alteration in question had been made before the execut i on of the bond. Messrs. Taaatova and R. MILLER supported the Pe tition, and Mr. Rosa appeared against it. The LORD Cnauceztoa, upon considering the weight of evidence on both sides, was of opinion, that the al teration had been made previously to the execution of the bond. He, therefore, dismissed the Petition, and di rected that Mr. Smith, the solicitor. should pay the costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wassmurersar e JAar. at. THI GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury for the City and Liberty of West minster appeared, and were sworn in this morning at the sitting of the Court. Sir Peter Laurie was in attendance, and upon his, name being called, the worthy Alderman handed to Mr. Justice Bayley, who was the presiding Judge, a book, cootaising a copy of a Charter of King James I. which he submitted gate an exemption to the Aldermen of the City of Loodon'from serving on Juries. Mr. Justice &ma, after perusing the document, said it certainly appeared that the Aldermen of London .were exempted from serving on petit Juries, but it was ''by no means clear that they were not liable to be SUM. • stoned to serve on Grand Juries. As, however, there was some doubt upon the point, Sir Peter Laurie might consider himself excused on this occasion. Sir Peter Laurie said, he should not have objected to serve, but that it was his duty, as Alderman, to sit at Guildhall during the week. The worthy Alderman then bowed to the Court, and retired.-- THI KING'S WARRANT. Lord TEMTRIDEM, upon taking his seat on the bench, banded to the Master of the Court his Majesty's war rant, authorizing the Judges, or any two of them, to sit is Basco after Term for the dispatch of business. The %arrant was then read by the Master. The period appointed for the sitting was from the 13th to the 21st of February inclusive, unless the attendance of the Bar t i,ters at the Quitter Sessions should interfere, and it . was intimated that the three Puisne Judges would bold their sittings in the Bail Court, while Lord Tenterden presided at Nisi Prims.

Before Justice Palm and a Common DITCHAM V. CHUM The defendant in this case is the proprietor of a colds licensed to tun between Blackheath and London. The plaintiff is an elderly woman, who was on the 29th of September last a passenger by the coach. The action was brought to recover compensation fur the injury which the plaintiff had suffered by falling from the coach, in consequence of the negligence of the driver. Mr. Sergeant WILDS stated the case for the plaintiff, and, in addition to the foregoing particulars, mentioned, that on the day in question the plaintiff was at the Ele phant and Castle, when the coach arrived. She applied for an inside seat to Greenwich, but there was none to be had, and after some time she agreed with the cad in attendance upon the coach to take an outside seat. She was in the act of ascending the coach, when the driver whipped on the horses, and the plaintiff with great violence fell to the ground. The coachman, though called to by several of the specators, did not stop until after be had proceeded a considerable distance, but neither then nor at any other time did he or any other person connected with the coach attempt to give the slightest assistance to the plaintiff. She had suffered most serious injury, and had not yet recovered her pre vious condition of health, and considering her advanced age, it was not likely that she ever would. Mr. Sergeant TADDY, for the defence, took some formal objections, which were overruled•by Mr. Justice Park, who asked the Learned Sergeant if he would consent to pay the woman a sum of money ? Mr. Sergeant TAnDY felt obliged to decline the pro posal, as his client was not in Court. Besides which, he said, that the defence was one opon the merits, as his case would be, that the woman had been going up without the knowledge of the coachman. -Richard William Roberts was then called, and de posed, that on the 29th of Sept. he saw the plaintiff in the act of going up into the dickey of the coach, No. 7,600, assisted by a " cad." He then described the accident as stated by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, and gave it as his opinion, that it occurred through the negligence of the coachman, who had whipped on the horses, without using due precaution to ascertain whether the passengers were " all right!' or not. Mr. Galloway, a surgeon, proved that the plaintiff bad by the fall received a very severe contusion, from which, when he saw her, immediately after the accident, she was suffering exquisite pain. John Green, another surgeon, deposed, that the plain tiff bad been confined to her bed for three weeks in con sequence of the accident; that she was yet unable to walk without help, and that she would probably never entirely tecover from the effects of the injury. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY, in addressing the Jury,- said that the plaintiff had failed to prove, lst, That there was a contract ; and next, that even if there bad been, it was not by the evidence proved, as laid. He treated the cad' as a sort of nonentity, a kind of mere abstrac tion, whose act was not at all binding on the owner of the coach. The Learned Gentleman added, that he himself had Dever beard the same till the trial had made him acquainted with it, Mr. Justice PARK said that he was very familiar not only with the names but the persons of that class of gentlemen, and that his Learned Brother would know more upon the subject if he were in the habit of attend ing the Old Bailey. The Learned JUDGE, after a clear and minute state ment, left the whole case to the Jury, who, after some consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—'.Damages Seventy Pounds: Mr. Justice PARK took occasion to observe, that he thought the coach drivers at Charing•crost deserved punishment every day of their lives. He had very lately been almost thrown down by one of them in passing along from Westminster Hall. ; An armed body of smugglers attacked the party stationed at the blockade station at Eastbourne, who were resisting their attempts to land a boat with kegs of spirits, at a place called the Steps. on the morning of the 23d ult. about three o'clock. In the affray Thomas , Reynolds, seaman, was shot in the leg. The ball has been since extracted, and the man is now out of danger. On the part of the smugglers, one died as he reached the village of Willingdon, and two others are lying dangerously wounded at Hailsham. By the Turkey mail of yesterday, letters to the 29th from Constantinople, alid from Smyrna to the 21st ult. were received. The utmost tranquillity prevailed, but the preparations for war were still continued with the greatest energy: there had been frequent meetings of the Divan, but nothing transpired. In the meantime the Mnglish and French merchants remained unmolest ed under the protection of the new commissioners ap pointed for the special purpose of guarding their persons and property. The Reis Effendi is the first Commis 'loner, rind the names of two others are given. The corn vessels from the Black Sea, seized by the Porte, are all restored to the owners, and the cargoes paid for; the tallow ships are still under seizure. The Skylark, English merchant vessel, so long detained at Constan tinople in loading a valuable cargo of silks, &c. valued at 150,0001. had received a firman to pass the Darda• nelles. The property is, we believe, entirely English, and there were considerable fears entertained that the vessel would be stopped. The letters from Smyrna are written with great confidence in the Turkish Govern. ment. The merchants state, that even if war ensues, they fear no bad consequences either to their persons or property. Atl the letters speak of the pirates as being, entirely destroyed; one had been sunk off Smyrna by a french vessel of war. The English and Fiends Con yuls resident at S:io had strived at Smyrna, after being plundered of all their propeay by the Greeks. DRAMATIC FaTa AT BATH. —This splendid spectacle, which has hitherto been peculiar to the British bards, tame on on Tuesday evening, in honour of his MAJESTY'S accession. The arrangements for the theatrical festivities were under the management of Mr. BELLAMY, and they were most tasteful and judicious. The appearance of the Mese was splendid. The saloon was decorated with a ,bindsome festoon and artificial glowers ; the floor cdtired with a crimson carpet. and rich candelabras visittplaced in each corner. From the centre of the! eteling - of the Theatre depended a large crown, placed en a velvet cushion.

Mrs. Anne Alamo s en tereafawr teg samilmat in Cutler.street, Houndsditch, was charged with uttering bilL—k appeared that some time ago. MT. Jonas Levi, a watch and clock maker,. discounted a bill of exchange for 2197 L as. 4d. which was brought to him by Daniel Myers, thc..pahoner's son, drawn by the prisoner , and purported to have been accepted by Messrs. Walker, Patter, sad Co. lead merchants, of Thame s -street. The bill was to have become dee on the 7th September; bat on the day before, Daniel Myers called upon Mr. Levi, sod produced another bill for 4881. Is. ed. dated 18th of July, len, drawn by Anne Myers, sa tempted by Messrs. Watkin, Parker, and Co. and payable ale months after date. It was payable at the house of Sir William Curtis and Co. Daniel Myers wished to have the former bill returned, and Mr. Levi therefore gave hint that Mil, and a sum of MIL Ins. 4.d. deducting the IL es ad. for the discount, and received from hint she abuve.mentioned bill. Before be consented to make this arrangement of returning the bill whick was to be so soon due, he hod entertained some suspicion at being requested to consent to it, tendmid to Daniel Myets that he wished to be fully satisfied of the regularity of the transaction. Myers raid to him immediately— " Go over to mother, and you shall be quite satisfied of the cor rectness of it." He also said that the bill was for lead whit% bad been sold to Watkins and Parkins. Mr. Levi knew that Daniel Myers had dealings at that house, because he bad received from the former a genuine bill of theirs about twelve months ago. He went to Mrs. Myers (the prisoner) at her warehouse, held the bill in his hand, and said to her—" Mrs. Myers. your son has brought me this bill, drawn by yourself on Walker, Parker, and Co.—is it correct?" " Perfectly so," replied Mrs. Myers; we sold them a lot of pig lead, and if you wish to be further satisfied, Daniel will throw open the hook and 'thew you for ycJr satisfaction." The book was accordingly thrown open by Daniel, and there did appear in It an entry for lead. corresponding with the amount and date of the bill. Mr. Levi then, upon this representation of Mrs. Myers, delivered up the old bill and took the new one, which was per fectly filled up. In answer to a question put by Mr. Anotmtue who attended for Mrs. Myers, Mr. Levi said that Daniel Myers b ad carried on bad ness for his mother—that his mother could not read or write, and that be always wrote for her; her name to the bill was, therefore, in his band writing. A witness was then tailed, who proved that the bill was a forgery. Mr. Aootenus said that Mrs. Myers knew nothing of the matter. She was a mere tacit creature in the bands of her son, who did all her business for her. She placed every reliance upon his repress.. tations, and considered that the transaction described to her by bin Levi was correct. Mr. Levi—When I went to her I told her the amount of the bill, and she told me that she had told the lead to that amount, sod that it was all right. An applivatiou was made to admit the prisoner to bail, but It was refused, and she was remanded until Monday. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, a Mr. Francis Marines, was charged with leaving defrauded one Mr. Carpenter, in a very queer sort of way. Mr. Carpenter is a pastry cook, iu Fleet-street, Pied, according to his own account, there is not a more perplexed pastry cook In all London—for be has thirteen children, two shops, and a wife that he " really does not know what to do with." However, all that has nothing at all to do with the fraud practised upon him by this Mr. Francis DicKune; which fraud, it is said, was perpetrated in form and manner following— On Wednesday evening Mr. Francis MeKune walked Idassek into one of Mr. Carpenter's cook-shops, is Fleet-asked, and having rapidly ogled the tarts, cheese-cakes, and otket delicacies there set out, he singled out a fine juicy cranberry tart, eipkuded his capa cious mouth to its .fullest extent, tucked in the tart,•gavek a crush, • twist, and a gulp, licked his digits, and observed " There goes two pence!" " exactly so, Sir," said the cook behind the counter— /ming Mr. Carpenter, by :he bye, who happened to be the only attendant in atteadance at that shop. " There goes twapence!" said Mr. Francis McKune ; and taking up a cheesaeake, he served it exactly as be had served the tart; and having so done be observed, 0 That makes four pence." A mioced pie followed the same way; add when it was down be observed, v That makes sixpence." A hot oyster pati was the next mouthful, and " recollect, that makes eightpence." said he. " Nier pence, Sir, if you please," said young Mr. Carpenter—" for the oyster pad in threepence." " Very well—ninepence be it then," rejoined Mr. Francis McKean, and taking up a damson tart, he tit a and its gulph'd one moiety thereof. and throwing the other moiety tinted in the face of young Mr. Carpenter, he sedulously rdeavolued bolt; but though be had damaged young Mr. Carpenter's eyes with' the damson tart, he had not stepped his mouth therewith. and rem, Mr. Carpenter made so good apse of it that Mr. Ranch Megan, was caught, brought back, and consigned to the Compter. In his defence before the Alderman, he said he .was a waiter out of commiseion ; and having been etedeavoterkg to drown his troubles at the expense of a few Mends, he had nether overdose the matter, and was—he was very sorry to say—so drunk that be did not know what be was about. Sir Peres Lavaza ordered that he should pay the pastrycook for what he bad devoured; and having so dune, he was discharged with an admonition sot to attempt to obtain a supper in the same queer way. •••• _,l CHELTENHAMs 31fflip The Sall on ThtwadWreling, at the Montpellio Rotunda, ergs very numerously *tended; rumbers the company came from Gloucester And.

BRIGHTON, JAN. Si. The Princess Avourra expresses herself so satisfied with the general improvement of her health since her arrival at the Palace, that it is thought she will re. main here some time longer. We have already enumerated instances of her Royal Highness's con. descension and kindness to the tradesmen, Ike. of Brighton. She has made purchases on several days at different slops on the Esplanade. and entered her name in some of the principal subscription rooms. She has also made some munificent contributions iti public charity. In private acts of benevolence. the acts " which never meet the Illy," the Princess yields to no person. age in the realms, with perhaps the exception of One, whose benevolence is equalled only by his high station. A good deal of noise, or, as it is commonly called, sometime, has been made here by the follot ing cit. cumstance:—A Gentleman of splendid dress and sp. pearance arrived at Brighton a week or two ago, and took up his abode at one of the principal Hotels, dining at a boarding house. At the latter place he became as quainted with a family residing there, to the members of which he was remarkably attentive, and in whose favour he contrived to ingratiate himself most succors. fully. Unfortunately. hooever, a French Count, who has resided much at Brighton, saw the Gentleman, and immediately recognising him as an old acquaintance whom he bad met at (we believe) Cheltenham or - Bith, denounced him as a swindler to his new friends, and also arrested him. So deeply, however, ha Ihe ingra tiated himself in their favour, that .the latter ac.ually became bail for him to the amount of upwards of 6J. and have since paid the money. The 4 4 gentlemate we need scarcely add; has subsequently left the town.. NPORTINii IN 'I k: LIAG ENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, JAL Si.
