These troops will be under the command of Generals Coutard and Wall. All Paris is mad to witness the exhibition at the Theatre Porte St. Martin, of the actor Mazoatza, in the part of the Monkey of Brazil, Jocke, which draws crowds to this theatte.

Sureout.---Acton Place, which they are now pulling down, and selling the materials, was built by Robert Jennens, Esq. who was Aid-de-Camp to the Duke of Marlborough; his son, William Jennens, Esq. died in June,l79B, aged 97 ; his god-father was King William 111. and, amongst other valuables discovered in his house, when he died, was a magnificent silver ewer, a present f►om that Monarch at his baptism. He had been Page to George I. and having inherited large paternal property, and during his long life remaineda bachelor of very perurious habits, his accumulations in creased even beyond his own powers of computation. He was the last annuitant of the Exchequer Tontine of 1001. ashare, for which he had received 5,0001. a year tor a length of time. His property was in almost every hand; -and such was h.s immense wealth, that his divi dends on most of his stocks had not been received for ten years before he died," nor the interest due on his mortgages for a long period. In his iron-chest there Were bank notes to the am:unt of 19,0001. and several thousand guineas. He bad always 50,0001. in his banker's bands, and had not drawn a draft for fourteen years before he died. His heir at law was William Augustus Curzon (then tea years old), son of the Hon. Penn Asheton Cure in, and grandson is a first cousin of Mr. Jennens. At the time Mr. Jennens died, he had 32%600/. in the hands, and there was due upon it 1 4,72.5i.intere.t.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL it. FACNtLEROY's BANKRUPTCY. The SOLICITOR - GENER AL stated this svgs a petition in the matter of Marsh and Co., which his Lordship had permitted to come on to-day, in order that the im portant question it i nvo l ve d m i g h t b e di sc us:e d, an d t h e principle upon which it wits to lye decided might be fully considered, and the decision become a sure pre cedent to be followed in similar cases. It was the pe. Mum of Messrs.- Stone and others, joint trustees with the late Mr. Fauntlerov, of a sum of money which had been invested in the Bank of England, amounting to 16,000/ ; and the petition prayed that the petitioners might he allowed to prove the sum of 16.0001. under the commission issued against Marsh and Co. The Learned Solicitor• General proceeded to state the case, of which this is the outline. Tee petitioners and Mr. Fauntleroy were trustees- of the property in question, and in the month of May, 1819, a power of attorney, purporting to be the power of all the trustees, was given to Mr. Stracey, of the firm of Marsh and Co, authorising him to sell out 6,00 a, a part and portion of the money of which Mr. Fauntleroy, his partner, was aco trustee. The transaction was managed in the usual way, through the medium of Mr. Spurling, the broker, who transferred the property of the bank, and paid the proceeds into the house of Martin and C the bankers in Lombard -street, who acted with and as the events of the bank of Marsh and Co. in Bet ners-sti eet. Through nit the whole of the transaction it was ad mitted tnat Mr. Stracey, who was the instrument, had DO suspicion that the poster of attorney under which he was acting had been forged by his partner, Mr. Folio leroy. The Learned Solicitor then stated a proceeding exactly similar in all. its circumstances, with regard to' the remaining 10,0001. part of the trust money. In this part of the transaction the person who attended at the Bank with the power of attorney was Mr. Graham. He, in like manner, through the agency of Spurling, the broker, transferred the 10,0001. the whole of which was in like manner lodged in the hands of Messrs. Martin and Co. Upon the bankruptcy of Marsh and Co., and the discovery that the transfer had been made by means of forged powers of attorney, Stone and his co -trustees, the petitioners, applied to be at liberty to prove the sum of 16,0001. under the commission; but the Commissioners refused to admit the proof, upon the I ground that the transfers of the stock not having been effected by legal instruments, but on the contrary, by instruments which turned out to be forgeries, the stock remained for the original proprietors, who consequently bad lost nothicg, or who, it they had lost any thing. bad their remedy against the Bank of England.—The Learned Solicitor said he understood that the resistance to the petitioners' claim to prove their debt under the commission, was founded upon the doctrine-laid down by the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, in a crbe of "Davis v. the Bank of England." That case he had not read, and therefore he could not conceive upon what principle it had been determined, that a banking house, who had received the actual hard money belong. ing to other persons, were not to be called upon to make a restitution, merely because they might have been themselves divested of the property by their negli zence or the criminality of one of the partners. In i lia present case the firm of Marsh and Co. had had the touch and grasp of this physical substance—the 16,0001. in hard money; they had had the corporeal touch and possession of it; and yet he was to be told that, by the effect of the decision of the Common Pleas, that touch or grasp was to be considered as aerial and fugitive, operating no liability upon the firm of the bankers so possessing themselves of this money by the fraud and forgery of their partner, and was to confer on the par ties, who had been defrauded, no right to claim or re cover their property of the partnership by whom it had been possessed, or, in the event of their bankruptcy, to prove the amount under their commission. The Learned Solicitor proceeded to state that the facts con tained in the petition were fully supported by affidavits. Mr. HEALD here interrupted, by stating that the case was not supported by any affidavits whatever; there were nothing but the examinations of certain persons taken before the Commissioners, and he insisted that be fore this case could be allowed to proceed, those exa minations ought to be turned into the shape of affidavits. file LORD CHANCELLOR cbserved, that if it should be found necessary to put the examinations into the form of affidavits, it might be done hereafter ; but for the present the better way would be to let the case proceed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL argued, that notwithstand ing the liability of the Bank of England to make good this stock, still the petitioners had a right to prove dm amount as a debt against the estate of Marsh arid Co. Mr. House followed on the same side, observing, that divesting this case of that sort cf importance which was attached to the name of an unfortunate individual, it was but a simple question of appeal to his L'irdship from the judgment of the Commissioners, who had re fused to let them prove under the bankrupts estate. — The Learned Gentl: man restated the facts, and sup ported by additional arguments those which had been adduced by the Solicitor-General, for the purpose of skewing that this was a debt provable under Marsh's estate, notwithstanding the liability of the Bank of Eng land to replace the money transferred ,by means of forged instruments. Mr. Serjeant BOSASIQUET said, that as representing the interests of the Bank of England, it was his duty to insist upon the rights of the petitioners to prove their debts ; he was ready to admit that the proof was in tended to be made for the benefit of the Bank of England, who had undertaken to replace the money, and who, by means of such proof, sought to obtain some indemnity for the losses they had sustaiaed by the transactions of the late Mr. Fauntleroy. The Learned Serisant applied himself to answering an objection, which he understood was intended to be brought for ward. The objection was, that as the claim on the parts of the petitioners arose out of a criminal and felo nious transaction, the Court could not interfere. To spew the instability of this objection, lie should cite a number of cases, shewing that the right of property was not taken away by the commission of a felony, but that,"on the contrary, the party robbed might at any time reclaim and take possession of his stolen property or goods wherever he found them, or might maintain an action of (rover against the person uojustly raining them. With reference to this point, many cases were cited from Rolls . Abr., Your, Hall's Pleas of the Crown, Saunders, Noyes, Sir William Junes, and via rious ancient Reporters, maintaining the principle at considerable length, and with great skill and abili.y as a Lawyer. Mr. PiIILLIMOSIS and Mr. BICICERSTETIf were heard on the same side. Mr. HiaLri addtes* the Court on behalf of the Assignees. The basis 6f his Irgattent wasp that the partnership of Marsh and Co. never had the possession of the money at all—that it had never been placed to the account of the partnership. Whether it had been exclusively appropriated to the use of Fauntleroy him self, was a question he could not determine; but he ccnceived it to be a sufficient answer to the, present ap plication. that the two sums of 6,0001. and 10,0001. had been drawn cut of the banking-hi •cse of Martin and Co. without et er having been transferred into the. firm f Marsh and Co. Mr. Pot.t.ocx was heard on the same side, but as he had not concluded his argument by tte time it was near five o'clock, his Lordship prevented him from en tering upon the subject of the examinations taken under , the bankruptcy, stating, he would himself peruse them carefully, as he considered so many nice and important, questions hinged upon the peculiar expressions con tained in them. His Lordship then desired tbis matter might be further heard on Wednesd.ty, and that, in the meantime, the examinations should be put into the forms of af f idavits. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL tr. This day, pursuant to Adjournment, the LORD CHIEF Jusrice resumed his Sittings at Nisi Prins, and tried several causes, none of which possessed any interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 11. SCALES V. GRESSALL. This was an action for injuries sustained by the plain. tiff's hors s, hi consequence of ill-treatment by the defendant, who is a carrier at ll.ord, in Essex. It ap peared that the defendant had been very unfortunate in the Inss of his horses, 14 of which out of 18 had died within twelve months. He applied to the plaintiff, who is a carcass butcher in Whiteehapel, in his distress, he being unable to purchase any more horses to supply .he place of those he had lost. The plaintiff was kind enough to lend him a horse and pony lot some time gratuitously, but on the express condition that they should be well taken care of by the defendant. This ' was in 1823. In aho ,t two months after they were lent, th- defendant tenoned the horses, but in such a l disabled state, that the plaintiff had expended about 9i. dd for their keep and surgical attendance. He had, beside•, lost abont 101. by the sale of the horse. The Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, then called evidence to support his case. Mr. Serjeant PELL conducted the defence, and main tained that the horses had been returned in better con dition than they were when lent. He then called the servant of the el: feadant, and his sons, to prove that the horses had been well used, and that they had been in bad condition at the time they were lent. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN replied, and the Learned Judge summed up. The Jury consulted for eight minutes, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, X 1.5. BEVAN V. ELMORE. I I This was an action to recover the value of a horse, which the plaintiff had purchased from the defendant. The questions were, whether the horse had been war ranted sound, and whether that warranty had been complied with. The horse had been sold for 140 guineas. Several witnesses were examined by Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, who was for the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant WILDE, for the defendant, contended that the evidence did not support a warranty, and that consequently there must be a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up at length. The first question was, whether there was a warranty, in which case the plaintiff must recover? The second question was, whether, under all the circumstances, a warranty had not been understood ? Some 20, or SO, or 40 years ago, a doctrine had been laid down by a very Learned Judge (Lord Mansfield), that a sound price implied a sound home. He did not know whether the same sound doctrine obtained in the present day. The defendant had said in a letter to the plaintiff, " If the horse is un sound, I will take him back with pleasure, as I can re turn him to Mr. Sharpe." If the letter had stopped there the case would have been conclusive. It had been said, that the plaintiff had bought the horse on the repre sentation of a Mr. Lowden, who had seen him at Horn castle fair, and thought that it would suit the plaintiff, and the defendant therefore said that no warranty had been given. The second question was, whether the horse was sound. On that point the Jury, under all the circumstances of the case, would give their verdict. The Jury consulted for about ten minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £147. There was but one case mom, which was referred; and the Court rose till Easter Term. Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, in Great Britain, delivered, nn Friday evening, the 25th of February, in the Repre sentative Chamber at Washington, his lecture on the effects and advantages of his system for the improve ment of the physical and moral condition of socie!y.— His lecture is spoken of as being very clear, intelligible, and well delivered. His auditory were very numerous : among the assemblage were, the President of the United States and some of his Secretaries, many Members of Congress, &c.— Americ2n Paper. SPECULATION IN DINNER STOCR•—A speculator at Edinburgh fore ee;ng thc public anxiety to be present at the dinner given last week to Mr. BROUGHAM, ob tained twenty tickets, by giving in twenty fictitious names, and obtained, on selling them, a premium of three guineas each. This was equal to any thing which could have been done on the London Stock Exchange. The Stewards, on discovery of the transaction, were much incensed. Capt. FRANKLIN, Dr. RICHARDSON, and the other persons composing the Arctic overland expedition, arrived at New York on the 16th of March, in the packet ship Colombia, Lee, after a passage of twenty eight days from Liverpool. A circular has been received at the different police offices of the metropolis, from the Secretary of the Home Department, ordering a return of the number of persons committed as vagrants for the last twelve months from their respective establishments; and also A specification of the different crimes, the perpetration of which has made them amenable to the penalties of the Vagrant Act. In the year 1778, when our arms were not prosper log very greatly in North America, the Eton boys made a rebellion against their masters. The follow. ing Sunday, Dr. Davis, the Head Master, was oil Windsor -terrace, when the King, thinking to quiz him, came up to him, and said—" Ah, Davis! Bad news—Bad news, I hear on your side of the water." " Yes, please your Majesty," said the Doctor, bowing reverentially—" Bad news on both side s of the Water.

EFFECT OF MUSIC.--Sir EVERA RD HOME lately tried the effect of Music upon an elephant and a lion, by treating them with a concert of wind any stringed in struments. The animals we. e quiet and attentive as long as the performers played in the higher octaves ; but as soon as the lower grumbling notes were touched, they became instantly so mad and furious, that the concert was immediately discontinued. The national fandango, a favourite dance in South America, is intended as a dumb representation of courtship. The music begins at first Flaw► and mono tonous, but gradually increases from andante to allegro. The Gentleman commences by pursuing tl e Lady quietly and gently, who retreats in the like manner, making short dicks, and turning on her Feel at each time that her partner approaches, quickening her step and revolutions as the time of the music increases, until she perceives tha. he seems inclined to give up the pur. suit; repentance follows, and the pursuer is in his turn pursued, making s.milar retreats, and the same circum volutions tha. the LaJy so recently practised, until, as last, relenting, he turns to meet her, and they approath each other more closely, and being apprently recon ciled, make three or four peculiar stamps with their feet, bow to each other, abd retire to their seats toter.
