WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. s the new weights and measures come into use on A , e I , t o f January, it is of importance to make the iniiiiar with the nature of the changes which be necessary. These changes, generally . e ,k in g, are not gild; indeed, we think it wolild i we n wise to carry them a little farther, and to rce de les , to existing practices and customs th.sn the • mmis ,iorers who framed the Act have done. One ei ror, we think, has been committed—the re• ith i nz t an standard pounds—the pound troy and the 01 „,i A voirdupois. The former is used solely by .) :,!,m;th,, apothecaries, and philosophers, classes of %hose education and habits would have rendered t,e a taption of a d iferent standard extremely easy. It the rund avoirdupois will be the one in gene. 0 1 o,e, hut the very circunistance that another pound I::; ..h;;.h is used in some cases, creates no small d . :!e e of that cunfus i on and uncertainty which it was . e xpress ohject of the Act to remedy. ..Dr standard inch, foot, yard, acre, and mile, remain the same .j. • . 11e pound, ounce, and pennyweight troy, and the . 00 4 l'unce, and dram avoirdupois, remain also the As at present. The pound troy is declared to be irons ss Welt all others are to be desired. It c 5760 grains; and the ounce troy contains 480 t rains , The pound avoirdupois contains 7000 troy ;N ies, and the ounce avoirdupois 4371. Thus we re still two different pound and two inherent ounce , : ioits! As a means of restoring the wiights, if they be lo.t. the cubic inch of distilled water is de cia:cd to be equal in weight to 252.458 grains—the ba :-neter being at 30 inches, and thermometer at 62°. The sole diff-rence between the new system and eld lies in the gallon, and the measures tleiluced *7ra it. The new cr impetial gallon is d- elated to, it.in ten pounds avoirdupois of distilled water—the ;: averature and pressure being as above. Mace we that it contains 27 7 k, or, more corsectlis 517.27 Ibic inches. Now the present wire gallon contains " . ..)1, and the present ale gallon 282 cubic inches. • Billows that the new Imperial gallon in to the old wine gallon as it to five, and to the old ale gallon as 47 to 48, neglecting very minute fractions. Tadeture, to convert wine gallons into imperial gal'ons, de 4uct oue.iisti; to convert impetial gallons into wine gallons, add ace-filth. 1 . 4 cistern gallons into imperial gallons, add 1 47th part ;to convert irvi,.; i,I gallons into ale gallons, deduct 1-48th part. The new ow and quart being declared to bt respectively the Bth ad 4th pa , ' of the new gallon, bear the sante proportion to the old I nt and quart as the new gallon does to the old gallon. Two stations ale declare" to be a peck, and eight gsl!ens a bushel, as at present. But the proportions here ye tea the same as in the cast of the pint and quart, becau e the old gallon for dry. measure is neither the sot nor the ale gallon, but a gallon of 268.8 cubic inches. The imperial peck and bushel are therefore to the old Winchester peck and bushel as 268.8 to '277.27. Hence, to convert Winchester in:o imperial bushels, d , duct one 3fla part; and to convert imperi..l into Win thester aid one 32d part. This is sufficiently near for pract'cal purposes; the sum to be added is correctly 1-31.78. The old Winchester bushel contains 2150.1'2 rabic inches; the new contains '2218.16. The new or imperial quarter has the same ratio to the old quarter,as De new bushel has to the old bushel. Toe standard measure of capacity for coals, cultn, Isle, fish, potatoes, or fruit, and all other goods and commonly sold by heap measure, shall be the z:tesaid bushel, containing 80 pounds avoirdupois of va! et, the same being made round, with a plain and tNtl bottom, and being 19 inches and a half from out t'detonutside, the goods in such measure to be heaped oi. to the form o a cone. sue% cone to be of the height of ilst sit, inches, and the outside of the bushel to be the rventity of the base of such cooe,and that three bushels sack, and 12 such sacks shall be a chaldron. It farther provided by the Act of the 6thGeo.lV.cap.l2. 1. That all such measures shall be made cylindrical. and t!Lit the diameter of such measure shall be, at the least, double the depth tl.oreof, and the height of the cone or help sh.ll be equal to three-fourths of the depth of the ine isure, the outside aloe measure being the extremity Or hale Of such cone.'' It is not obligatory on persons to buy and sell by those measures ; they may use the old measures, but when this is done, the ratio winch the measures used to leo to the new standard measure must be specified, ..thetwite the cont:act of agreement is null and void. This wiil render it necessary to refer to the new mea• slues in all written bargains. All bargains made w 'th an a speeal reference to some other measure, are held to be made according to the new measure. Tie exi,ting weights and measures may be used if marked, SO 'A , to shew the proportion they base to the standard measures and weighty but not otherwise. All weights and measures made atter the Ist of January, 1826, are to be conformable to the new starlard. General RCCHE, Envoy from the Greek Committee a: l'zris, who protested against the Protectorate of England, has arrived in Paris. An official notice has been published of the intention o! . the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to apply for a Bill, in the ensuing Session of Parliament, empower ing them to follow up their original plan for the western imptovements, by continuing the street called Pell-, snail Lw to St. Martin's Cottrell ; also to widen the communication between Craven-street, in the Strand, a:.d Cock:pur-street. The Inverness-shire Farming Society, last week, had I: , e honour of entertaining Sir JOHN SINCLAIR, on his way from Caithness to Edinburgh. Dr. Moot. was in t: Chair, and Captain SHAW acted as croupier. The was most agreeably spent, and a great deal of ;•.tErtsting conversation passed on the subject of agri cultme. Sir JOHN read to the Meeting a very sensible paper on the contemplated alteration in the Corn Laws, *hich the Society ordered to be ptinted. The Manchester (guardian says—" We regret to state t . :at there is, at present, every appearance of a general tut,i-out on the part of the persons engaged in cutting ftiszians in this town." Yesterday evening, a Meeting of the Master Shoe makers was held, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of forming a Society of Masters to restrain ...''hat they conceived t o be the unjust demands of the _our neymen of their tract:. Mr. SKINNER, in the Chair, 4 . 2.dre‘sed the Meeting at some length, and concluded by proposin g severa l R eso lutions indicative of the ob ject of the Meeting, which were carried nem. con. After a few remarks from some other individuals, the as sembly broke up. Tae Tt ibu nal of Correctional Police of Paris, decided ( in F iday, the case of Madame de CAIRON, accused by er husband of crime. con. with a Law Student of the name of Soustitoutau. Two children were the issue of this criminalintercourse. The facts charged were proved by sttEficieb - t evidence, and the Court condemned frac guilty patties to two years' imprisonment. BRIGHTON, Noy. The Duchess of GLoncarrin did not attend Divine Service this morning at the Chapel Royal. Her Royal Highness has subscribed to the Libraries ; and from this, as well as other circurostmscuspit Is supposed she will remain at Brighton a considerable time. Her Royal Highness is quite well, and takes daily airings, generally in her littk pony. phaeton. Lady Crisiounz Lancia is residing wits the Duchess. Lady Briton, with her daughter ADA, has been residing here some I weeks; she lives in a very retired manner. It is no ordinary disappointment to the fashionable quidnunc* and politicians here to be deprived of the opportunity of scanning the Saturday evening papers, which arrive by the poet on Sunday morn ing, the Magistrates having interdicted the opening of the Libraries, for that or any other purpose, during the whole of the Sabbath. DRURY•LANE THEATRE. Miss LAV mica, who last week made her debtd in Juliet appeared for a second time last night, in the same character. Her acting was more in keeping, and, as might have been expected, more free from that restraint which is usual upon hest appearances. The audience received her at the commencement with much warmth, and occasion.lly throughout the play she received some applause. The new Melo-drama of Dc is Perause followed. It is a much ad mired piece, and promises to be a favourite. The House was ex• tremely full at an early hour. THE INFANT ANGEL. PROM DOWNING ' S SPECIMENS OF THE DUTCH POETS. Infant fairest—beauty rarest— Who repairest from above; Whose sweet smiling, woe-beguiling, Light us with a heavenly love ! Mother ! mourn not—l return not — Wherefore learn nut to be blest? Ileaven's my borne now, where I roam now— I—an Angel, am at rest! Why distress thee? Still I bless thee Still caress thee, though I'm fled; Cheer life's dulness—pour Heaven's fulness Of bright glory on thy bead ! Leave behind thee, thoughts that bled thee— Dreams that blind thee in their glare; Look before thee, round thee, o'er thee — Heaven invites thee—l am there! The King's Bench Prison is at this time unprece dentedly crowde.l. On the first day of Term there were no less than ninety-one renders in discharge of bail. DISSOLUTION OF THREE MORE CCMPANIES.—Yester. day the deposits were paid off upon the shares in the following Companies :—The Antwerp Steam Naviga tion Company, the Dieppe Steam Navigation Company, and the Havre de Grace Steam Navigation Company. The house-proprietors in Dublin are about to petition Parliament, fur the suppression of the nefarious prac tice of levelling. The difficulties that stood in the way of the transfer of the late Mr. Fauntleroy's banking-house have been removed, and the sale for 4,000 guineas completed, which purchase-money is exclusive of a ground-rent of between 501. and 601. for a forty years lease, of the fixtures, 6:c. Mrs. Fauntleroy, the mother, by virtue, of some settlement on her husband, received one-fifth ; and her claim of all the fixtures, which stood in the way of completing the transfer, she agreed, by her son, the late Fauntleroy's brother, an attorney, who attended in her behalf, to submit to the decision of arbitration. The house in Berners-street, or rather double house, which is immensely large and very commodious, and was superbly fitted up- by its late occupier, is to be converted into a hotel; the place is now filled with workmen. It is stated, that in dividing the purchase money of the house into fifths, there was a payment of some 1501. made to Fauntletoy's widow, but on what account did not appea.—ller . akl. We understand that there are letters in Dublin from Rome, beating date the 15th of October: at that time the POPE had been ie.tated perfectly to health, and packets were dispatched throughout the whole Chris tian world, communicating the indulgencies, conditions, and regulatit,l, of the approaching jubilee. We he.tr from a private source, upon which we caw place the most implicit reliance, that the President of the Black Republic of Hayti has again made an appli cation to the British Government to recognize the inde pendence of that new State, offeting, as the condition of such a boon, to place the British tradeupon the original footing, and to extend to Great Britain the advantages possessed by France under the new system.--Itiocdes- Reid Herald. Monday se'nnight a valuable mare was killed,,and nine cows houghed, and their tails cut off, at Old Bawn, near Tallaght. The mare and cows were the property of Captain Colwell, who cannot assign any other reason for this terrible proceeding than his having dispossessed a non-paying tenant. A reduction of one shilling per piece, on the weaving of plaids and camlets, took place in Leeds on Wednesday last. The weavers, of whom there are about 1,000, naturally enough demurred against this reduction ; but when it was explained to them that the present state of the trade rendered it absolutely necessary, and that the option would be either to take that price or to go without work, they submitted to the former as the less evil of the two. A paragraph appears in The Shrewsbury Chronicle, which, if it be correct, exhibits the Game Laws in the most frightful colours. A man, who has lost both arms' above the elbows, is stated to have been committed to i l the House of Correction for six months, for killing a hare. This dangerous personage, it is stated, had been accompanied by a terrier dog, which accidentally' , pounced upon a hare and killed it. As this is the account of the convict himself, it may or may not be correct ; but taking the offence in its worst light, is there not something dreadfully disproportionate in such a punishment for such a crime?. The offence of kill ing a hare, if punished at all, would have been visited upon a rich man, or one moderately wealthy, by al pecuniary punishment, scarcely felt by the delinquent; but this unfortunate being, whose family is said to depend on him for a scanty addition to the parish al lowance, is called upon to pay a fine, just as impossible for him to pay as the whole amount of the National Debt, and in default committed to prison fur sic months. Mr. G. Lawn, the author of the Castle Spectre, on the decease of his lathe!, went to Jamaica. His slaves , were much *mused with the representation of the, Castk Spectre; and presuming on his indulgence, they petitioned him to emancipate them. lie gave ti em a solemn promise, that at his death they should have their freedom. On his passage homeward he died; and, as it is said, by poison administered to him by three of his favourite black brethren, who thought they should gain their promised liberty by terminating his existence.—Kellys Reminiscences. Li* • . COURT OF CHANCERY, Nauseam I , S. Ocasstsb.rosr AND tHwAlTes. ' Mr. Glassington addressed the Court this Morning from the floor, and complained that notice had been given that his appeal would come on the first day of the sittings; and although fourteen days had now elapsed, it had not been mentioned. The Loas CHANCELLOR desired him to communicate what had passed to the Sulicitori, and said that the subject might be men tioned in Court this day week. COCHRANE AND CHAMBERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment herein. The l i plaintiff was a widow, and being possessed of one thou sand pounds, married, and afterwards the same was settled upon such trusts as she should appoint, with remainder to her and her executors. The trustees sold out without any such direction of the wile, and the Lord Chancellor ordered them to restore it. He, how ever, directed that she should elect to take this, or under the husband's will t and Mr. SLIODZH, accordingly, at the bar, elected for her, to take the one thousand pounds. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. la. HALL v. ROLLO'S. This action was brought by a father to recover da mages fir an injury done to his child. The declaration stated, that the defendant negligently drove a carriage over the infant son of the plaintiff, and inflicted divers wounds arid bruises, in consequence of which the plain tiff was deprived of his son's services. There were two counts : First, that the plaintiff was deprived of the service. of his son ; and secondly, that he was eatitled to be paid for the expense incurred by the accident.— The cause was tried before the Lord Chief Ju.tice, when it appeared that the child, after the defendatit's coach had passed over him, was carried to an hospital l'he plaintiff. removed Itim ftom the hospital, and in curred one shilling and sixpence per day, until the child's, recovery. The L ‘rd Chief Just ce n , nsuited the plaintiff, on the ground that the tender age of the infant rendered him incapable of do:ng any service for the plaintiff: the relation between master and servant consequently did not exist. Mr. E. LAMES now moved to set aside the nonsuit. Several cases were cited in support of the motion, also the opinion of Lord Mansfield, viz.—A son living un der the roof and protection of his father, was to be con sidered a servant to the father, who could maintain an action for deprivation of those services. Mr. Lawes admitted that the , tender age oldie child in this case might raise the question whether he was capable of any essential service? but if a child was able to finds his fa ther's slippers, the Court might consider it sufficient service to enable the parent to support an action for loss of services. Mr. Justice Bavixr.—l am of opinion the nonsuit is right. The first count states the plaintiff lost the benefit of the child's services. Now he must prove that the child was capable of performing some act of service. With respect to the expense, that was incurred by taking the child from the hospital, where he might have recovered free of expense. The Loan Cam. Jurrica.—l take the principle of the common law to be, that a man is entitled to the services of his son or servant, where services are performed, but we are going further. Here the relation of master and servant does not exist. It is a case in which there can be no service, from the tender age of the child.— Rule re fusysl. QUO WARRANTO. MK TAUNTON moved for a quo tvarranto, calling upon Mr. Jenkins, the Mayor of Munmouth, to shew by what authority he holds that office. The affidavits stated that the predecessor of Mr. Hughes, the late Mayor, was a Mr. Philpot, who WAS elected in 1828. A quo tvarranto was applied for respecting him, and it was proved that he was illegally chosen. The objections in his case ap plied to Mr. Hughes and Mr. Jenkins, and in fact there was nu Mayor at this time duly elected. The Court granted a Rule to shew cause. - CASE OF ARREST. Mr: GURNEY moved, in behalf of a foreigner be longing to the Spanish Legation in Paris, but now a prisoner in London, for a rule to shew cause why he should not be discharged out of custody on finding common bail? The person had been arrested forloo,oool. and also 25,0001. and he stated in his affidavit that he had never received one farthing from the plaintiff on the action. Mr. Gurney moved on the ground that the affidavit upon which the Gentleman had been held to bail had been irregularly made. It was sworn at Cadiz, before the British Consul only. It did not appear in Les Mercatoria, that a British Consul had authority to take an affidavit of debt. Another objection was this: the affidavit made at Cadiz stated that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in the amount of 100,0001. sterliag, but it did not say sterling of Great Britain. It might be sterling of any other country. The Court granted a Rule to shew cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Novelists 14. COPE, AN ATTORNEY, STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS. The LORD Com JUSTICE observed that having con ferred with the Judges of the Court of King's 13,nch, respecting the conduct of Mr. Cope, the Attorney, who had been struck off the rolls of that Court, they saw no reason why he should not be struck off the rolls of this Court al o. It was the opinion of Lord Mansfield, that an Attorney who had been struck off the rolls of one Court, was unworthy to remain on the rolls of another Court, and the Judges of this Court, concurring in the wisdom of that opinion, had ordered Mr. Cope to be struck off the rolls, and not to be suffered any longer o practise in the Court of Common Pleas. Alter a short argument, the Rule was made absolute. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Novelises 14. John Miles Winnington, commonly called Sir John George Winnington, was opposed by Mr. PoLcocK, for Mr. Gass and another, and by two creditors in person. The insolvent, in explanation of the grounds on which he assumed the title of 44 Sir," stated that he had been created a Knight of the Military and Ecriesttian Order of Rome, by Pope Pius VII. in 1820. His title had not been confirmed in the Gazette here, because it was not necessary to do so. The Learned Counsel was then proceeding to examine the insolvent touching other matters, but it appearing thst he had omitted to men tion in his schedule several places of abode in which he had resided dining the period at which he contracted some of his present debts, under an erroneous impres sion that it was only necessary to insert the first and the last of them, the Court ordered the case to be ad journed generally for the insolvent to re-adveitise, with a full statement of all his places of re idence. In the 134nkrupt Act passed last Session, the im portant clause which compels assignees to file an account in the Chancery Conti of every unpaid diviJend in their hands within six months from the passing of the Act, will expire in two months. We therefore recom mend it to the attention of our mercantile readers. kßiAitiiiiiii iiiii. + This 'day is marked s-4 e, ea en tr as Mat N.

Tuesday se'nnight a gulf match, between Lord Kennedy and Mr. Cruickshanks of Langley Park, which has excited much inte rest in the sporting world, WAS decided on Montrose Links. The • bet was three matches of live hundred sovereigns each, and the fol lowing was the result : First match of ten holes, gained by isle. Cruickshanks by two holes.—Second match, of ten holes, gained by • Lord Kennedy by two holes. Third match of ten holes, gained by Mr. Cruickshanks by one tick, making him the winner by one match. The equality of play towards the conclusion, and even to the last hole, rendered the interest intense to the numerous attendant amateurs, who expressed their catisfas ion at the skill and dexterity exhibited by both. Betting, to a considerable amount, was about even. It is thought Mr. Cruickshanks was considerably benefited by his knowledge of the go-en; and it is said that, in consequence. Lord Kennedy intends challenging him to play on neutral ground, either on St. Andrew's or Leith Links. FOX HUNTING. Friday, nearly two hours before noon, the fine pack of Fax-dogs, under the controul of their master, Colonel George Wyndham , and a field of about a hundred and fity well-mounted sportsmen, met near Perching Wood, in the vicinity of the Devil's Dyke , Brighton. The first operations of the day not having been attended with the desired success, in the wood named, Hoe Wood was dragged, whence a sturdy foe was unkenneled and. put to his mettle. The burst was excellent. Reynard broke for 'l'oddington, neatly . threaded the covers there, and then sprung to the left, but being headedby a posse of horsemen en Toddington Mount, he diverged for Horton Shaws, bounded through them with tht dogs in mtlo. dious cry, and thence bolted for Beden-mill. Near to the latter place, unfortunately for the sportsmen, but luckily for himself, he succeeded in earthing and escaped, though not before he had been the cause of a capital run of five-and-twenty minutes. Again the Dyke was resorted to, and the covers thereabouts were drawn, Evingham, Portslade-furze, &c. without finding ; but at Southwick a second fox broke kennel in view, and amply made amends for previous disappcintment. A chase, almost without check, of five and-thirty minutes then gave a breathing to the best bloods in the field ; and, at the close of which period, the dogs in capital order ran into their object, and poor Reyaard promptly paid the forfeit of being overtaken, by his life.—Among the many who made progress with the diversion, were Major and Mrs. Russell, Mr. Hare, Mr. Isaac N. Wigney, Mr. H. Bridger, Captain Cooke, Captain C. Faulkener, and Colonel Dashwoud. PIGEON MATCH. The first meeting of the crack pigeon clubs took place yesterday on Choi:ohm Common (er Bagshot Heath), between seven mem bers of the Ashton and seven of the New Hats Club, fur 100 so vereigns aside; the usual distance of twenty-one yards from the trap, at eleven birds each.
