LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 9. 711:s day was appointed for hearing pleas and demurrers. M'GREGOR V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. ROUPELL, for the plaintiff in this case, argued a 6emurrer, against the plea filed by the defendants. It ai lieared from the allegations of the bill, that Sir John hlacpherson being in the year 8o Governor of ; ;a d occasion to employ the late General Sir John *Gregor Murray (then Colpnel Murray) upon a secret and im portant mission. The Upper Provinces of Ben ,al were in a state of disturbance, and it was feared ; )a t an attempt would be made to drive the British forces from their possessions in that part of India. These disturbances were chiefly fermented by a Rajah T urned Sindiah, who possessed great influence with ma y of the native Princes. The Governor thought tie best means of counteracting the intrigues of Sin•l d i a h, would be by sending an agent of experience and w eight to negotiate with the discontented Rajahs, and for this purpose he selected Colonel Murray. That Officer proceeJed upon his dangerous and eelicate task, accomdanied only by his purse-bearer, whose attend ance seemed to have been extremely necessary in his regociations, Colonel Murray being obliged, in order to promote the success of his journey, to make very large disbursements. The Indian Treasury b.ing at this time wholly impoverished, Colonel Murray was o bliged to pay these sums out of his own funds, and received a part of them back by the order of Sir John lacnherson. A balance of 19,000 rupees, however, remained due to ColoneY Moi ray, which he made no de rmal of in India, knowing well there was no money there to pay him, but waited until he should reach England to receive the amount due to him from the Company. His journey, asout which the payments he Pad made were incurred, had been highly beneficial to theinterrsts of the Company, and were spoken of in the liighest terms, as e ell by the Governor in his dis ra,e,, a s by the. Di ect , •rs of the Company at home. In the year 1797, Sir John Murray applied to the Court of Directors for liquidation of the balance due to him; his request was not complied with ; and he re .utaited, from that period until the time of his death, which happened in 1822, without being able to pro cure any satisfaction from the Directors. His son, the p r e s ent plaintiff. having found among his lather's rapers documents which convinced him that the Com pany ought to pay the sum claimed of them, brought a nctitn at law. Ile did not suppose, nor would any dier re.son have believed, that such a body as the Fast India Company would condescend to avail them !dye.. i). t;.e statute of limitations to bar the claim of 5o metitoriou-; and honourable an Officer as Colonel 3liaray ha roved himself; but that it they had any defence they would have set it up, and have f tidy tried the claim. As the greater part of the evidence in sup port of rho cl.dm must, of ne.e:sity, he in the possession if the defendants, the pla;ri r ill, at the same time that he legan his action at law, filed a bill in this Court for a, incovery, to enable him to prozeed in his action. The East. India Company pleaded the statute of limitations ; and they h id flied another plea in this Court, in which the plea of the statute was not included. On this ground the demurrer was put in, which he had now to argue. The SOLICIIOI4.6II2IIMAL contended that the omission on which N. Itoupeit relied, had happened entirely through inadvertence; r+aiSit, according to the practice of the Court, the defendants ucti tarithil to amend thtir plea, which he prayed permission to sin amrdingly. VICE-4.7I4ANCIMLOi thought this request must be complied nil; tut! be therefore permitted the defendants to amend, on payagtlic usual costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. to. lIILL AND OTHERS V STARBUCK. This action was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, Buhr Guildhall Sittings after last Trinity Tells]. There was a verdict for the plaintiff, and 2001. dainagei. The plaintiffs %vete the Owners of a South Sea whaler, the defendant was the Captain. This vessel le turned, after an absence of two years and two months, aith a cargo of 270 tuns of oil. The plaintiffs were dissatisfied with the result of the voyage, refused to pay theCaptAin his wages, and brought this action against litn for damages, on three grounds; Ist, that lie had made a deviation ; 2d, that at one of the Sandwich Islands he took on board a woman, whom he kept on bond for several months, and in consequence neglected the intered: of the plaintiffs; 3d, that on his return trout the Japan seas, the Captain took on board as pas-, 'egers for this country, the Kiag and Queen of the Sindwich Isles, their suite, and provisions for them during the voyage, whereby his voyage was length ene,Land he was unable to avail himself of the opportu rinses which might occur in:his homeward voyage for ob tamg a snore complete cargo of oil, it being the ordinary practice of the Captains of South Sea whalers to coniulete their cargoes on their return home. Mr. Arroomtr-Grentaa. this day moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, and against the opi nion which the Judge had given in his sunttning up to the Jury. The Court granted a rule to skew cause. PRINCE AND ANOTHER D. LEWIS. _ This was an act i on b y t h e l essees o f C ovent -G ar d en Market, agaiiht Mr. Lewis, a potatoe-salesman, in Jame, -street, for selling goods from his waggon at his deor, and thus evading the tolls. At the trial, it ap tened th,t a p ort i on o f t h e mat ket was occupied by traria-shops and stalls, not devoted to its legitimate purposes; upon which the Lord Chief Justice directed nunsnit, on the ground that the grantees of a mat ket must shew that its whole space was devoted to the pub accommodation before they could complain of any ore for selling cut of its boundaries. Mr. GURNEY now moved to set aside the nonsuit, on the ground 'La: there was space enough left for the defendant, had he chosen to iCn3 in his waggon, and that be bad made no demand of any appropriated to other purposes. Ile Court granted a rule to shew cause. HOWELL U. YOUNG. I: 11 'S WAS an action on the case tried at the Gloucester Assizes) before Mr. Justice Burrough, against an Attor. for lending the money of the plaintiff on security "bleb proved inadequate. Most of the counts charged the Attorney with negligence only, but in one count be was charged with fraud. The transaction took place more than six years before the commencement of the ac .tir'n ; and, besides the general issue, the Statute of Limitations was pleaded. At the trial, the Learned Judge expressed a decided opinion that the charge of mere negligence was barred,by the Statute; but as it might be questiored whether the same principle applied to a case of fraud? he left the question of fraud to the July, with a strong expression of opinion that there IA as n"f Ihe slightest pretence for the charge. Under this dircciion, the Jury found for the defendant. Cuawoon now moved for a new trial, on the ground that there fraud w as i mpute d t h e S tatu t e did not apply, and that the . al ntd Judre left the question of fraud to the Jury, with an ',"'sulute expr ess i on o f hi s op i n i on , an d s ee m e d ast onished at their e: ` l titlll4 JS to their verdict. lice Court granted a rule to shjw cause. WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. Yesterday evening a ptiblic meeting was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of establishing a Literary and .Scientific restitution for the western part of the metropolis. .. At eight o'clock. HENRY ENUMMOND. Esq. having been called to the Chair, said, it was well known that the business of a numerous class of young men ceased at an early period of the evening. The want of proper employment of their leisure hours had led many into frivolous, if not mischievous pursuits. _ A conviction of the inconvenience arising from this circumstance induced some of that class to which he alluded, to form an Institution which might afford facilities for rational amusement. The means proposed for the accomplish ment of their object, were a library, the formation of classes for the acquisition of languages and sciences ; and thirdly, lectures on interesting and important sub jects. There were many heads of families, many Gentlemen engaged in commercial pursuits, who, though they may not have leisure or inclination to attend such an Institution, would still most willingly assist in-its formation, were it only for their own interest. He would put it to those who employed young men in the various commercial departments of this great metropolis, whether it was at all likely that idleness would make them good servants, or more zealous and correct in the discharge of their various duties?— With respect to the funds necessary to accomplish the objects proposed, the best way would be to have them come immediately from the pockets of those who were to enjoy the benefits of the Institution. Without this it would necessarily partake of the nature of a charity, which was not at all to be desired. However, that it might the sooner be put in a state of activity, presents of books would be received. Feeling convinced of the utility of such an Institution, some Members of the Government, and many other Gentlemen of rank and station in society, had expressed their approbation of it. The Attnrney•General and Sir Richard Birnie ex pressed their willingness t•: be named as Vice-Presi dents, and Lord Aberdeen would have been present upon this occasion had he not been compelled to go abroad from an unfortunate domestic circumstance.— Mr. Heath had kindly offered to act as the Counsel of the Institution. The moment it was established, it was likely that a present of books would be received, to the number of about three hundred, and he had no doubt that others would follow. Four of the principal bankers at the West-end of the town, Sir John Paul, Sir C. Trotter, Mr. John Drummond, and Mr. Wright, had consented to become trustees. He would not tre.rass longer upon their time, but would proceed to the business for which they had been called together. Sir JOHN PAUL then rose to propose the following resolution—" That Literary and Scientific Institutions, on a moderate scale of expense, are eminently calcu lated to promote the true interests and prosperity of society." lie considered it the bounden duty of all who presided over large establishments, to look to the morals and the improvement of the young men in their employment. The door to crime was through idleness. If they had some means of employing their leisure hours in useful and innocent amusement, so many bad habits would not be ci.ntracted. He fully concurred in the observations made from the Chair, that the funds should be derived from the young men themselves, and the whole management left in their hands. It was necessary, however; at the outset, to give an impetus to the thing, and the best way of doing it would be by presents of books. Mr. THOMAS Casteiseta., in seconding the motion, said, that as a means of happiness, and for the cu•tiva tiou of the human mind, a►td for the diffusion of know ledge among a portion of our feslow-citizens, who had been comparatively neglected, as well as for ti.e propa gation of morality, no means could be better than the present. Ile hailed this measure as a prognostication of a mighty age to come. The spirit which manifested itself this night in a desire on the one hand to receive improvement, on the other to impart it, he considered a the germinating promise of a harvest, which should coves, hereafter, the whole domain of society with its , blessed fruits. The great scheme of a London University was now being brought to perfection. And in urging this plan now before the Meeting, there was no incon sistency attributable to him on the grounds of this Sr ciety being hereafter likely to claim any rivalship with the former. Such was nor, and never could be its ob jeer. "As to the former scheme, and my sincere at tachment to its welfare, I would ask," said Mr. Camp bell, " no other inscription upon my grave than having it told to after ages, that I acted even a subordinate part in an affair of such vast importance." He then ably re futed the many arguments advanced by some of the ad vocates for the monopoly of knowledge, and read a paper which he held in his hand containing some re marks ascribed to Dr. Whittaker, and which tended to impute much evil to the use of public libraries. There was no reason for alarm : that novelty which was the prevailing characteristic of our times, was " a spirit of health," it was no " goblin damned." They might fear lessly look it in the face. He concluded with congratu lating them on the exertions that were making to pro vide the rational means of cultivating the mind; that " On Reason they built Resolve, That column• of true dignity in man." Mr. WRIGHT (the banker), in proposing the 2J reso lution, alluded to the circumstance of his being a Ca tholic, which forty years ago would have prevented his being called upon, as he was now, to assist in this great work : but the growth of knowledge had dispersed pre judice, and all men were delighted to co-operate for a public benefit. He declared himself a cordial friend of the new Institution—(Applause). He begged leave to propose the second Resolution, viz. " That such an In stitution be now formed, for persons engaged in com mercial and professional pursuits at the western part of the metropolis, and be denominated the Western Literary and .Scientific Institution." J. C. HOBIIGU3E, Esq. said that the Gentlemen by whom this Institution was originally projected,, had done him and his Honourable Colleague (Sir F. Burdett) the honour of inviting them to the Meeting, and he regret ted that a severe illness prevented his Hon. Colleague from attending. It was a proud sight to see those Gen tlemen of the Committee, upon whom the prosperity of the country depended, thus coming forward to advance the interests of literature. It looked as if the days of the Nedici were returned, ss heti money was bartered for books. He could not expect any opposition to this Institution. He was sort) , that his Honourable Friend (Mr. Campbell) had brought so obscure an individual— an individual who, he was sure, was not known to any person in tire room—into public notice (Alluding to Dr.' Whittake:). All knew that knowledge was not only power, but that power without knowledge was a fiend . . breathing pestilence ad:death upon mankind.. Roll.' gion without knowledge - was superstition, which de graded us below the level of the 'brute creation. He anticipated no opposition ; all those feelings which di vided this great country would be sunk in a question of this importance. How many men whir would ha* fallen into the,deepest abyss of dispair, had been com forted by those true friends, who never flattered and could not deceive—lie meant books. The King of, Prussia was a solitary instance of a despot being a promoter of Literature. There was no alliance between Despotism and Literature, it was incompatible for them to agree together. He seconded the Resolution. Dr. BOTH WICK GILCHRIST objected to the word " commercial," in this Resolution, as narrowing the object of the Institution, which ought to be open to all classes and professions. Dr. MITCHELL, LL.D. defended the Resolution, as it was. The word professional included Lawyers, Doctors, and Parsons; they therefore were taken into the Institution, though to shew what the Society was to be, the word commercial was put first. Mr. WRIGHT explained, that the words Literary add Scientific embraced all Dr. Gilchrist's objects.—This Gentleman then withdrew his Amendment, and the Resolution was unanimously passed. Mr. BROUGHAM said, if he might make an observa tion on what had just been stated by Dr. Gilchrist, h would remark, that his object would be better Attained by the words as they now stood, for the Institution was calculated, as had already been observed, for that most important part of the young men of this metropolis who constituted the trading part of it. He looked on this Institution as very important, induct ng all p trues in politics, and all sects in religion ; but embracing a most useful and meritorious class of young men ; and its chat acter would be well designated by the name of the Clerks' Institution. It was adapted to that useful class of young mei who laboured through the clay, and who had some time to spare of au evening. Nothing was more pleasing than to find great bodies of young men wishing to establish such an Institution, whin) must not only be a belittle to the community, but useful to themselves, enabling them to pass their evening hours in seeking instruction, after the labours of the day were over. It had been said, that idleness led the nay to crime and misery ; it might be said with equal truth, and, perhaps, a mote forcible expression, that idle ness was misery. If any arguments were wanted to prove the utility of knowledge, that argument would be found in the eloquence which had previously been addressed to the Meeting, which left him nothing to add or to desire. There was, however, one point of view which he was desirous of noticing. The Institution was for those who had a part of their time occupied, and part unoccupied, and it would have a beneficial influence on the upper classes, or those who had all their time unoccupied, by stimulating them to make some exertion that they might receive a better education, and not be outstripped by others; it would have a beneficial influence on the labouring classes, or on those who had scarcely any time unoc cupied, by holding out to them encouragement and assistance, and by affording them, in fact, the means, and a stimulus to keep pace with this middle inititUtiCn. To the labouring classes it would give both advice and encouragement to establish such Institutions by their own pecuniary means, and net to trust to donations; to depend on themselves, and to defray themselves the expense of their instruction. He would say, that'he never knew any exception to the rule, that those are the best to manage such Institutions for whose benefit they are intended ; nor did he ever know an exception to this other rule, that all those who have come forward with their help to promote the establishment of such lnstitu• tions have always been attended to by those. they have assisted, whenever they have stepped forth to advise:— The Resolution which he had to propose, embrace d the' •bjects of the Institution, and he hoped soon to hear i f other great trading towns imitating the example of the metropolis, and establishing similar Institutions, as in the largest of them it was fully as much or more wanted than here—(Applause). The Learned Gentleman sat down by moving the third Resolution-44 That the ob jects contemplated in the formation of the Institution, be the establishment of a Library of Reference and Cir culation, and Rooms for Reading and Conversation ; the formation of Classes for the acquisition of the Lan guages and the Sciences; and the delivery of Lectures on the most intetesting and important subjects .in the departments of Literature and Science." Mr. GEORGE GROTE, in an eloquent speech, adverted to the rapid rise of the City Institution, of which he had the honour to be a Member, and concluded by saying, that it was ready to do anything that lay in its power towards the furtherance of the views of this Institution. He seconded the motion. Dr. BIRKBECK, after a luminous exposition of the benefits that would accrue from an Institution of this kind, moved—" That Members shall contribute annu ally the sum of Two Pounds, to be advanced by half yearly payments; and that those persons who shall, on or before the 24th inst. put down their names and ad dresses in the books now opened, and pay their sub scription, shall be considered as original Members." Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRE, in seconding this resolu tion, declared his intention of affording the young men of his establishment the means of becoming Members of this Institution, at his own expense. Mr. Prrittt MOORE also praised the Institution, and promised to give their library a present of books which were once intended for the private collection of his late friend, Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The following Gentlemen were appointed a Provisional Com mittee, and authorised to take all necessary measures to promote the objects in view : Mr. Benson, Mr. Bittleson, Mr. Carmichael, Mr. Hitchman, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Place, jun. Mr. Read, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Tnonipson, Mr. Ilion, and Mr. Watkins. Dr. Mircuma. then proposed the sixth Resolution, which was seconded by Mr. RIAD, " that the Members do meet on Thurs day, the 24th instant, to receive the Report of the Committee, and to consider the body of laws that may be necessary to t h ei go vernment of the Institution." The Thanks of this :Meeting Were given to Henry Drummond, Esq. for the zeal he has displayed in promoting the formation of the Institution, and for his conduct in the Chair. Mr. H. DRUMMOND returned thanks in a very neat speech. The Meeting, which was very numerous, and respectably at tended, then broke up. THE LATE LORD MAYOR.—A deputation from the inhabitants of Bridge Ward, of which the late Lord Mayor is Alderman, waited on him on Tuesday, to thank him for his liberal, honourable, and impartial conduct during his Mayoralty, : and to request him to offer himself a candidate for the representation of the City of L'ndon in the next ParliaMent. M. ATTWOOD, Esq. M.P. was at e head of the deputation. In returning thanks, Mr. Alderman GARRATT declined offering himself for the City. The sword-bearer, •and the members of- the Household, took leave of the wor thy Alderman, thanking him for his hospitaiity. • srornwo'ddigthitiENcE• _ . • SETT II4G- R 00 Al,. i l'A TTE itt ALI'S, Nay; 10.

William, %hose brother we lot nsetly noticed as enquiring after him, was found floating at Ardrussan, and information sent by the. Sheriff Sub stitute to his brother in Paisley. On Sunday likewise, the ho'dy of a man supposed to be a smith, belonging to Glasgow, was found on the beach at Helensburgh, and after being cofflaed, was conveyed to Gotirock, to be interred in the church-yard there. Bath these boiies were very much decayed. This Morning, the body of a young mln was found floating at wh..t is genet ally called 'he s.ilmon Draught, about a mile below G mtrock—he was in the same de cayed state as the others, but from several documents found in his coat pocket, it appears his name is James I M'lntosh ; •that he had come from the neighbourhood of Lochinver, and was on his wart° Edinburgh to be shopkeeper to his cousin (Murdock M'lntosh), who had lately commenced business there. He had several letters addressed to people in Edinburgh on his person. His remains were immediately ct.iffined, and, deposited in a place adjoining Gouvock Church. We, hear that two bodies were seen floating down the Clyde on Satur day. by the master and crew of a sloop coming up; but as the vessel was then labouring very hard in the gale, they could make no attempt to pick them up. • We understand that the , 4 Emu:acmes or Ms. CHAU.

Sunday se'nnight, Joseph Dangerfield was standing upon a board thrown across a pit at Highfields fiery, Wolverhampton, and being cautioned - by a person who stood near against remaining in so dangerous a situation, he said the board was strong 'enough to bear a weight ten times , is heavy as himself, and immedi ately gave a spring from it, but he paid dearly for his temerity, for on his alighting the boavd'snapped through, and he was precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, a depth of upwards of one hundred and forty yards, by which he was almost dashed to pieces, and it was with great difficulty that his body was got out of the pit, it being ninety yards deep in water. 'An Inquest was held upon the body before H. SMITH, Esq. Coroner, and a verdict of Accidental Death rettirned. • CORN EXCHANGE., MARE-LANE, Nov. n.
