F""k*Pr Al I u ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ ;~ . ' • I 1 1 ; • Liam Scroggs, Chief Justice oithe Ring's - Bench, in the• • eign of James 11. who had purchased the Wealdhall estates from an ancestor of Mr. Comber. On the other ' hand, it was insisted that, supposing such conveyance to exist, still they could not exclude the heirs of Sir Anthony Browne ft dm extrcising the tight of patronage and appointment to the situation of master of theschool, inasmuch as such patronage could not be alienated from the founder's family, by virtue of the school sta tutes. Independently of the wound on which, the defen dant's right was founded, it was objected that the Sir A. Browne named in the decree, and for the purpose of this cause called the statute-maker, was not the right heir of the original founder. The Commissioners of Inquiry, appointed under Mr. Brougham's Charitable Founda tion Act, had inquired into the management of this school; and had made their report thereon; and in con sequence of their Report, the Attorney-General had in stituted proceedings, for the purpose of having the in tentions of the founder fulfilled, but those proceedings had been suspended until the result of this cause was kno*n.— After evidence of Mr. Comber's pedigree was given, for the purpose of sheaving that he was heir at-law to the original founder, it was objected that the action was not maintainable, inasmuch as it did not ap pear that the lessor of the plaintiff or his donor had had any possessory title within the last_ twenty years, so as to maintain ejectment. Mr. Edwards had only been appointed within the last two years, and neither Mr. Comber nor any of the persons from whom he derived title, had done any act within the last hundred years to assert a right of possession, and consequently this ac tion was barred by the Statute of Limitations. In an-, swer to , this objection, it was urged that' this being a donative, the Statute of Limitations did not operate. Mr. - Baron Gammas, however, was clearly of opinion, that as no possessory tide had been made out during the last 20 years, the action was not maintainable, and therefore directed a nonsuit.—Nonsuited. Sarah Hones, a girl 13 years of age, was indicted for feloniously, setting fire to an outhouse on the sth of Fe bruary.in the parish of Teadring,.belonging to the over seers and parishioneh of that parish. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of Death was recorded. There was another indictment against the prisoner for setting fire s p a hovel on the preceding day, but this was not prosecuted. STAFFORD, MARCH ii. Thomas Whale was charged with manslaughter, in killing Wm. Reynolds - and Wm. Royley. It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner was the engineer to Messrs. Ward's steam-engine,at their coal mine, at- Wolverhampton, and that the engine not being .at work, the prisoner went to examine another part of the machinery, when the deceased, with six other, got into the skip (a sort of basket in which the men go down the shaft), and by some accident the engine began to work before the • prisoner had any knowledge they were there, and by those means the two deceased were precipitated to the bottom of the mine, and killed, and the other men thrown on the ground and much hurt. In the indictment It was charged that the prisoner knew that the - deceased were in•tho skip. of which there was no proof. ' Mr. Caimans objected that this was a material allegation, and mud be proved. The Learned Ince concurred in this view of din case, and di rected the prisoner to be acquitted. The witnesses for the prosecution all stated the prisoner to be a man Of the most careful habits, and was on that ground selected by Messrs. Ward to have the management of the, steam engine.sa. Verdict—Net Guilty. " CIVILIZATION OF THZ InsaAtts.—By 'the following interesting est , act from a late HAW*: Paper it seems that some of the individuals themselva,are desirous of a" local habitation and a name," and to become culti vators of the soil. This fact augurs well for the plan proposed by Mr.Buchanad and others. INDIAN CHIEF. In the Afars, we are informed, that the Chief Andrew Meuse, who exercises a kind of sovereignty over the Indians in the Western extremity of this . Province, went as a passenger. He is the same person who some years ago harangued so successfully, at the bar of the House of Assembly against a Bill calculated to deprive the poor Macmacs of their porpoise-catching; since that he has been elected a Chief, and his present purpose in going to England is supposed to be, to solicit Government for permanent grants of lands to the Indians, in order that they may become. cultivators of the soil. He is a re- markably intelligent man, sober in his habits, and has saved a little money, and though ignorant of letters, his memory and understanding are uncommonly strong by nature. He is good looking, and is attired in the costume of the tribe.—Canada Paper. Letters were received on Friday from Maranham, of the 17th January. The adjacent part of Brazil was perfectly tranquil. Dispatches, dated the 14th of August, were received on Friday morning ar the India Board, from Calcutta. They relate to operations against the Burmese, which have been known long ago in thiscountry.

The Lords' Committee on the State of Ireland re sinned their Sittings at twelve o'clock on Friday last. Lord HARROWBY was in the Chair. There was again a full attendance of Peers. Mr. O'Contzlizi was further examined. He continued under examination until half-past four o'clock, at which time the Corn• mittee adjourned to Wednesday next. Their days of Meeting are Wednesdays and Fridays, pursuant to the order of the House of Lords. Tuesday last, as a poor boy, at Guildford, was en deavouting to climb -a wall after his shuttlecock, he mi•sed his hold, and fell on a prong he had placed for the purpose of aiding his ascent, the points of which running into his body, he was killed almost instantly. Upper Canada (little more than thirty years ago an entire wilderness) from the best evidence that can be obtained. has now nearly one million of acres of land under cultivation. • - DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. At about half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning, the inhabitants of Holborn, Little Queen-street, and the sutrounding neighbourhood, were. thrown into the greatest state of alarm and confusion, by the breaking out of a fire in the timber-yard of Messrs. Vises s, ca binet-makers, 7, Little Queen street. The fire was first discovered by the watchman, in Great Queen-street, perceiving the sparks borne by the wind, which was then blowing rather smartly, in the direction of Lin coln's-inn-fields. An alarm was quickly given, and not withstanding the advanced hour of the morning, when it might be considered difficult to obtain assistance, a great number of engines were collected ; but the diffi culty of obtaining a speedy supply of water, rendered them inoperative for a long time, so that the flames, fanned by the wind, obtained such an ascendancy, as to require the incessant play of between thirty and forty engines for better than two hours, before they were at all mastered, and not until an immense quantity of pro perty was altogether destroyed. The flue being confined within a square of lofty houses; extending one way from Great Queen-street to Holborn, and front Little Queen street to Newton-street the other, the firemen found it extremely difficult to play on it With anything like effect; and even what was done was effected only by passing the hole through the windows, and over some Lam vening walls, in doing which two of the firemen were precipitated from an eminence into a heap of blazing timbers, and were both most seriously bruised and scorched. The premises of Messrs. Vizer, which had been partially restored since the recent conflagra tion, were now totally destroyed; the rear of Messrs. Bentley and Wood's, perfumers and chymists ; Mr. Gosnell's. printer; the type-fr.undry of Mr. Pouchee, and Mr. Jameson's coach-factory adjoining, suffered considerable damage ; and the various property con sumed is estimated between 10.0001. and 12,0001. value. The inhabitants of the differenchauses on that side fled from their beds in the greatest terror, and almost in total nudity ; they were, however, accommodated by their opposite neighbours, who threw open their houses for the reception of them and their propriety, which was removed under the protection of Avery and Thompson, of the Bow-street patrol, who rendered themselves ex tremely active in keeping off the immense horde of thiepes that were assembled on this, as on every similar occasion. At about seven o'clock, the fire was get com pletely under i but up to a much later hour, the streets were still lined with engines, some of which continued playing on the smouldering_ruins, to prevent its break ing forth afresh. lk is remarkable that for seven succes sive Sundays there has been a fire of greater or lesser magnitude in the metropolis. • PUBLIC SALfar . • .1. .1 • By Messrs.

The city of Santa Maura (in the lonian Islands), and several villages in the island of Leucadia, have just been destroyed by an earthquake, which took place on the 19th of this month, between eleven o'clock and noon. The only house left standing in the town is that of the amiable N. Zambelly, President of the Tribunal. 'All the other buildings have been so deitroyed that they can neither be repaired nor be made to serve as a temporary shelter to the unfortunate inhabitants, of, whom twenty-four have been buried in the city ruins, thirty-four in the villages, and by far a greater number dangerously wounded. Immediately after the shock an exceedingly heavy shower of rain, which still con tinue, began, and has completed the misery of the in habitants in making them more sensible of their want of clothes and shelter, and in the perfect loss of the effects and provisions which they might have drawn from the rubbish. The picture of desolation which this unfortunate country presents, is inexpressible ; no human being can view a with a dry eye. The town of Prevesa has also seriously suffered. This earthquake has only been felt near the coasts. Ma. Owax.—We have learned, from good authority, that this Gentleman has finally resolved to remove to the New World. His friends at New Lanark have re ceived intelligence that he purchased the settlement of Harmony, in Indiana, on the first of January. He has kft his son William, and Captain * M'Donald, to take charge of the American establishment .in the mean time, and, by the latest accounts, had reached Phila delphia on his way back to New Lanark, where he is expected in June. The whole of the Flower family, at present settled in Mr. Birkbeck's neighbourhood, mean to join him at Harmony. The letters received state, that Mr. Owen's statements have excited an estraor•• dinary zeal for the mutual co-operative system in tbe United States. At Pittsburgh, he assembled a great mass of the people in the Presbyterian meeting-house, and having developed his plans to them, a number of persons immediately declared their intention of found ing a community on his system, and such was the sen sation his arrival these produced, that the Court of -Justice suspended its sittings while the meeting was held. Mr. Owen, on his way westward, visited the spinning mills of Mr. Shink, on. the Hudson, which , are celebrated for the high perfection of the machinery, and the remarkable neamess-trf the establishment. The settlement of Harmony is on the banks of the Wabash, about thirty miles below Mr. Birkbeck's property, and 'the occupants are a volon7 chiefly of Germans, who are united by some singular religious tenets, and hold their property in common,t4inbargh Paper.

Thomas Parry, aged 35, was charged with killing and slaying Sarah Palling, on the 4thof October last. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had beenl drinking in a public-lionse near the Haymarket, Liver pooloind had - been sculling with several persons; from thence he sallied into the street, and wanted to fight some of them. Some boys that had been laughing at him, at length began to hoot at and pelt him, upon which he took up some stones and threw at them. One of the stones struck a little girl (the deceased) so vio lently upon the forehead, that a small piece of her skull was beaten in Upon the brain ; she immediately fell, a•hi the poisoner was taken into custody. The victim of his rashness was conveyed to the Infirmary, where she lingered for nearly-three months, and at length died. Verdict—Guilty. • The mother of the deceased, after the verdict was pronounced, strongly recommended.him to mercy; in consequence of which, and his previous long confinement, he was sentenced to only three months imprisonment. James Reed, aged 48, Anne Ill'Ardie, aged 40, and Anne Reed, aged 4 ',were indicted for having feloniously coloured certain pieces cl ba , ,e metal of the similitude of shillings of the current coin of the realm. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against James Reed, and acquitted the others. Mr. Justice BATIAT passed sentence of Death on him in the usual terms; but intimated to him that sentence would nut be carried into execution. Robert Latus, aged 17, was charged with shooting at T. Hesketh, with intent to kill or do him some grievous bodily harm. The parties were both joirrneymericot , ton-spinners ; the prisoner is a member of the Union, the prosecutor not ; and on the litter going in November last to apply for work at Messrs. Caton's factory, the former, who was employed at that mill, threatened to shoot him jibe canoe nobbing these (men who refuse to join the Union. are called nob-sticks). In December the prosecutor did go to work at Messrs. Caton's, and on the 30th, as he was going to his woe It, before day-light, he was shot at by a person, whom he and another wit ness believed to be the prisoner, and slightly wounded in the breast. The case against the prisoner was a good deal strengthened by circumstantial evidence, though there was some which weighed in his favour.—Guilty—. sentence of death recorded. Josiah James Ilberry,.a person respectably connected in Liverpool, was charged with having uttered a forged bill of exchange for 201. with intent to defraud Mr. Thomas Wilson. Mr. CLARKE stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was a fruit agent, and had been employed, some time in July last, by Mr. Wilson, a merchant in Liver pool, to go over to Manchester and dispose of part of a cargo of lemons, consigned to him from St. Michael's. He sold a quantity, amounting to 27/. to Mrs. Lydia Bell, and from whom he received payment in cash. On his return to Liverpool he suppressed that circumstance, and tendered over with some cash the bill stated in the indictment, which he alleged he had received from her. The bill bore the indcrsement of Cunliffe and Co. bankers there, and various others. It was ultimately re turned to Mr . Wilson dishonoured, and proved a forgery. The forged indorsement of Messrs. Cunliffe and Co.l was fully proved. After the facts of the case were gone into, the bill was read in evidence, and purported to be dray n by Charles Nixon, Manchester, 26th August, 1824, two months after date, payable to order for £2O, and addressed to Mr. Thomas Savage, in High-street, Manchester, and accepted payable by him at Jones, Lloyd, and Co.'s London. On comparing it with the indictment the word 44 by" was found to have been omitted ; and upon which Mr. D. F. Joints submitted to the Court that it was a complete variance from the instrument set forth, and must be fatal to the indictment. Mr. Justice BAYLEY dispatched a message to Mr. Justice Holroyd for his opinion,-which his Lordship •having received, he said that it agreed with his own, that the objection was good. The prisoner was then acquitted. Robert Robinson, aged 34, Hent7 Robinson, 25,.and hotnas ligby,£'2, were elliarged• with burglary and rob bery in the house of Mrs. Martha Andow, at Cla yton-le• Welds—Guilty. CHELMSFORD, MARCH i 2.

This wa; an action of ejectment for the rectorial tithes of the parish ofDaggenham, and for certain lands at Chigwell, part .of property which had•been settled in the reign of Philip and Mary, for the endowment of 'Brentwood Free Grammar School, .by Sir Anthony Browne, Knight, Serjeant at Law, one of the Judges of •the Common Pleas in the reign of. Queen Elizabeth. .This cause excited great interest :in-.the county of 'Essex, and more particularly at-Brentwood, the inha .bitants of which town will be deeply affected in the result; the object of it being to•have the funds of Sir %Anthony Browne's Grammar School duly. appropriated to the beneficent purposes of the Founder. IThe eject ment was brought on the demise of the Rev. Edward Edwards, oho mai appointed Master of the School by . Mr. Comber, the heir as law of the original founder, and also on the demise of the guardians of the School. In the reign of Philip and Mary, Sir Anthony Browne having founded a grammar school for educating the children of Brentwood, and the surrounding-parishes, endowed it with certain tithes and lands in Daggeuham, chigviell, and Sonthweald, estimated in value at about L 1,500 per annum. Some difficulties having arisen in the reign of Queen ElizabethOss to the management of the school, they became die subject of investigation in the Court of Chancery, and in 1623, a decree was pro -pounced, and certain Statutes made for its due go vernment, reserving to Sir , Antliony Browne and his heirs for ever, the patronage of the school, and the power of inting casters, by way .f donative.

Daniel Wilson. a steel-grate-polisher, in the employ of 'Mr. David Evans, of Crotched-friars, was charged with rebbinghlitm ployer to an alarming extent. Mr. Evans stated, that the prisoner had been in his employ five years, and was in the receipt of good w.tges. Fur some timed pa* be had missed a quautity of valuable goods, hut such was the opi- Rion he entertained of his integrity, th.tt till within the last fort , night past big suspicions had never rested upon him. Circuraitances having, however, led to a conviction that his ;onfidence had been misplaced, be instituted an inquiry, the result of which was, the obtaining search-warrants for examining the premises of own retail ironmongers in Westminster, and also the apartments of the psi 'hoer, at all of which places property was discovered, ',LOW he was able to identify as part of his stack. Weak and Woodbury, two officers, stated, that they hadiisited the shop of Mr. Pullen, Peter -street, Westminster, where they found a polished steel 'grate. . They then proceeded to the shop of Mr. Adams, of Charles-street, where they found a dozen and a half brass r ods, a dozen brass cocks ; some candlesticks, and% few other small articles. On searching the lodgings of tie Flintier, they found them literally stocked with ironmongery, consisting of polished steel fenders, steel fire-irons, and numerous other valdable articles. (The property was produ ced in the office, and conikted of a miscellaneous assortment; sufficient to stock a large shop).—. The prosecutor identified the Whole as being his property.--iCeatta: milted to Newgate for triaL UNION-HALL.

Tee LADIES DIMMED or rate Cuas.s.—Saturday evening, se veral decent-looking wrenetattanded before the Magistrate Mt Or purpose of - making the following complaint, and obtaining redress: —After a good deal of whispering among them, one of the women, who was impelled forward by her companions towards the. Mails:. crates table, dropped a low curtsey, requesting on behalf of bawl, and fellow-sufferets, to state a shameful imposition which had-been practised upon them all by a barber, named . Thomas Rusistott.— This perton called at her house a few days ago, and having- re mwited an interview, which 'be said wai of serious moment,. was dsewn into the parlour. He commenced by entreating her paadoce for the liberty he was about tosake is asking bee to poll off her cap. She did as be wished, and having a good head of hair, he praised its beautiful colour and softness, adding, that 'if he - could prevail upon her kindness to-permit him to cut it off she should have a gui nea and two false fronts to conceal that which shed "rebid lose in case she accepted of the bargain. Being in want of money at the time, the poor woman consented, and be immediately drew forth front his pocket a pair of scissors, and cut all herhair o ff close round.' "See your Worship," said she, 4 ` see what he has donerand salting her bonnet and cap off, exhibited her bait bead, with•the little heir left upon it by the barber sticking up like pig's bristles. There was a general roar of laughter in the office, as the- Lady turned bee body round, to enable the Magistrate to see the manner in which the fellow bad cropped her. She continued--As soon as the herb* had clipped her so closely as not even to leave as much )exer kir temples as would bear a curl paper, he thrust the whole.of barb* into the crown of his hat, and ran out of the house, without giving her a halfpenny for that of which he deprived her. She had not seen him since tintil - that morning, when she was informed hefted served many other females in the same manner. Several of, her fellow-sufferers here stood forward, and displayed their hisals;slwro of bale, to the Magistrate, all of whom were docked as closely of their bar, as the former iady.
