MISRCHANT SEAMEN'S UXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. A Meeting was yesterday convened at the Egyp tian Hall, Mansion House, for the purpose of esta blishing an Institution, ender the above head.. far ',supplying British Merchant Ships with the Holy S c npterea. The Assembly -was honoured wi • attendance of some of the Nobility and several hie*. bets of Parliament. A great proportion of elegant females also graced the Meet*. • At oaf o'clock the Ria Hon. the LORD MAYOR was called to the/Asir. His Lordship, in briefly stat ing. the object tithe:Meeting, said, he not only felt it his duty as Chief Magistrate, but also as a man and a - Christian, to second the views of the Assembly, by affording the use of the Hall, and otherwise contri buting his aid: , but he was still more proud of the honour of becoming in any way instrumental in a cause promising so mush glood to his fellow creatures keit, and tD . their eternal mush in the world to cotae.-(eskiese.) Lord Gillman then addrested the Meeting. It had been, he sa i d, his happy lot to rank among that audsceous bbd y of luck who had, on all occasions, pfoved *erMelves the glorious defenders and safe guard of their country. That this was the character of British Seamen, was a principle as universally ad- Witted at it wee triumphantly felt and : enjoyed.— They were a body, indeed, who had. at once ensured to us the blessings of peace, and the extensizn of trade -,-security to our dominlois, .and stability to.- the Ihnone—(applainc.) His Loidship would not detain the Meeting by entering into a lengthened detail of the geetat and invaluable services which British Bea ailen had rendered% their country, .but simply direct the attention of the Assembly to the object before it. Ai* was to provide those to whoa we owed so much of our national .prosperity and glory with that, of which-so many thonsaidiof them were still destitute, to furnish them with one of the choicest blessings the; /add reteiveitalculitted to - make than at-once hap py, bah here in 4 hereafter —be Meant the HolY Beriißisreil It was hii pride already to belong to a Buciet/; whose purpose is was to disseminate the Sa' deedVritings througlein the British Navy ; and in Ills2erperietee MSea men , he had witnessed the Elea arid blesse d which the perusal of the Bible had had upon . them.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT oVonAWCERY, JANUARY :v. ISI LA COME= v. PARSONS. Sir S.

He also moved; that the said defendant be restrained from entering judgment on a Bond and Power of Atter ney, or from proceeding in any way' at law againit the plaintiff on such documents. Froiwthe cejerrie statetritift, made an usual in cases of injunction, it appeared there had heist some money transactions between the parties, tad that the plaintiff had been 'induced to sign the two, deeds which she did with yin knowing their nature or the consequences which might rag( from theist. The defendain proceeded against her at law, and then she was *impelled to make the present application. The tact was, that though they had been engagedin some pecuniary matters, the defendant was considerably her debtor. She bad Made the usual affidavit in support at her allegations, said as the • .herprOceedings qp tila deeds would infallibly be her rum, she h4t4 ) the Court would grain her protection, by i •, 18 dot injunction.

The Brighton Hi rai:* rite ground. of having published in his paper, 'on tee ' Bdr of November last, certain observations" during:the late proceedings, before a Coroner's In. queit'W- d upon the body Of a Constable who was killed in the disturbances ar,Brighton, on the sth of November last, tending, as was alledged, to pro duce an improper impression upon the minds of the Jbry, and influencing them to find a verdict of Wit fig Murder against the persons who were supposed to be implicated in the melancholy transactsons of that day. The learned Counsel produced Affidavits in support of the motion, and contended, that al though he did not mean to impute any improper motives to the Editor, yet that hit publication was such as was grievously injurious to the character of the applicant, and therefore amenable to this process. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that the Court had, on 'many occasions, held that it was improper, sooint and publish any observations which might have a tendency to influence the minds of a Jury, called upon to administer justice in'criminal cues, and pro nounce their verdict upon the evidence and circum. stances to be impartially submitted to their eonside. ration. In the spirit of those decisions, and as they had not the effect of producing that forbearance which ought to be observed in criminal cases, the Court felt it to be their duty to grant the Rule in question.--Rule to skew cause granted.

They found that the short deicend ing passage at the entrance to the pyramid, which af terwards ascends to the two chambers, was continued in a straight line through the base of the pyrainicrinto the rock upen which die pyramid stands. ' This new, passage, after joining what was formerly ca ll e d th e well, is continued forward in a horizontal line, and terminates in 'a well ten feet deep, exactly beneath the apex of the pyramid, and at the depth of .100 ;feet below its base. Captain C. has likewise discovered an apartm - ent immediately above the K ing's .chamber, and exactly of the same size and the same tine workmanship, but only foor feet in height.
