W E are happy in being enabled to announce, that the pretensions of such a political quack as WWians Cobbett to the REPRESENTATION of the loyal Borough of PRESTON, will meet with a powerful check. Capt. ROBERT BARRIE, of the Royal Navy, has been solicited by a Deputation from a numerous body of the most respectable Inhabitanta of Pres ton, to offer himself as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Election ; 1 for which purpose to gallant Captain started last night at Twelve o'Clock, from Hatchett's Hotel, Dover-otreet, with all possible speed, to the scene of action. We wish him every success, trusting that the voters of Preston will afford him an opportunity of adding to the services he has already rendered his country, by electing him dick Representative in Parliament, on those truly Constitutional principles upon which he now offers himself.

GIBB, with the most lively sense of gratitude to tee Nobility and Gentry for the Patronage be I , as beep honoured with, during the period be was la business in St. Andrew's-square, most respectfully begs to announce that he bas taken possession - of this splendid Establishment, which has just undergone every improventent to secure comfort, convenience, and accommodation; and he presumes to solicit a continuance of that liberal support be has already enjoyed. The Premises in St. Andrew's-square have been sold to the No. tier's! Bank of Scotland. WATHRI.OO TAVERN AND COFFER-HOUSE, No. 22, Regent Bridge.

It was originally intendtd to have published a complete transla tion of this celebrated Work but the apprehension that a book of so great extent, at the present period of general depression, might not find a demand adequate to its expense, added to the conviction that a slight curtailment and re-arrangement of the original Work might be made, so as to render an abridgment scarcely less useful to the man of science, and perhaps more interesting to the public in general, has induced a departure from this original intention. The French work contains five volumes, two of them in as many distioct parts, and upwards of three hu ndred plates; a large num bor of which are double, so as to render the expenseof re-engraving arty equal to five hundred quarto plates. A complete English , %inslation, with all these engravings, could not be published under front twenty to five and twenty pounds; It is therefore proposed, by a slight abridgment and partial re-arrangement of the matter, aid a reduction of about one half the plates, to publish an English Version of the Work quarterly, in eight Numbers, at twenty-four shillings each.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. --,....- COURT OF CHANCERY, j u " 6. lii TAE MATTER OF Ilift 0. 11 1 . TURNER. His LORDSHIP was dvtained some time in his private room before coming into Court, in giving judgment in this matter, and the result of which was granting per. mission to Sir Gregory to try the traverse at the next Bedford Assize.. IMPART'S GRIMSTRAD IN RE HOWARD AND GIRDS. _ _ The Low) CHANCILLLoR entered the Court this morn. ing with an immense mass of papers and books, and stated, that he was now prepared to give judgment in the matter of Mr. Grimstead. As he should not, how. ever, be able to go through the whole of the case to-day, he should reserve the filet judgment until some subse quent occasion. The matter came helot e him under very singular circumstances, and he should think it his duty to go fully into the evidence on both side-, stating his reasons as he went along.' It appeared to him that the main question to be decided was, whether the sum of 4.0,0001. which Mr. Grimstead proved under the first Commission, and proposed to prove under the second Commission, could be so proved; or whether, c.n the other hand, the objection of usury could be applied to the whole transaction? In considering this question, he should put oat of his view the motives by which Mr. Shaw was actuated in the choice of the aisig-ees, tinder the first and second Commission; and he should alio put aside other various points which had been introduced by a sort of side-wind, and which he thought were ir. relevant to the main ques ion upon which he was to pronounce his decision. His Lordship then referred to the book, which, during the argument upon the case, was so frequently commented upon, called the Pass book. In this book were made the several entries of annuities upon which Mr. Grimstead's money had been said to have been laid out. His Lordship also alluded to the very voluminous correspondence between Mr. Gabbs and Mr. Grinstead and others, particularly adverting to that letter written by Mr. Gibbs on the 9.h October, 1819, in which the word "interest" seemed to have been used in a different sense from " annuities." There was no man, perhaps, more ignorant of accounts than him self, but he thought it was impossible for any one, how ever ignorant of, or conversant in these matters, to look at the pass-book, and say that the word " produce" was meant to be the interest of purchased annuities. Upon looking at all this do:umentary evidence, the whole of it led to this question—Did Mr. Grimstead know that his money was not actually laid out in annuities? or did he know that he was receiving more than legal interest for his money? The oral evidence was also extremely important to be considered; he meant particularly the examinations of Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Grimstead. He was sorry to say it, but his duty compelled him to de clare his opinion, that he could not believe one word of what Mr. Gibbs had uttered. Having gone so far into the case, his Lordship postponed the further considera 7 tion of the matter until Thursday morning. He hoi ed then to be able finally to dispose of the case. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Just 6. DUGAN V. SOLLAND AND OTHERS. ASSIGNEES. This was an action by the plaintiff, clerk to the oim missioners of Paving of a certain divi.ion of the parish of St. Pancras, to recover from the defendants, a signees of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, Fauntleroy, and Graham, the sum of 1,7504 the amount of certain Exchequer bills paid into their hands previous to their bankruptcy, and for which they had given a receipt acknowledging the receipt of those Exchequer bills on account of the Commissioners of Paving. At the trial a verdict 'tad been found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on a special case. Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of the defendants, contended that this case was not within the meaning of the Gene. ral Paving Act, 57 Geo. 111. c. 29, and rested on grounds wholly different from those of " Frost v. Bollard and others," in which the Court, on sec. 51, on Friday last, decided that the plaintiff had a right to recover from the assignees the whale amount of the money paid by him into the bands of the bankrupts. In that case it was in evidence that the bankrupts had been appointed ban kers to the Commissioners of paving, and had been in the habit of receiving the produce of the rates. and as sessments by them raised, and therefore the Court held that under the words " other persons," they were in cluded as treasurers, having received the money raised by the rates : but in the present case, he (Mr. Pollock) submitted that the payment of the Exchequer bills into the house of Marsh and Co. must be considered as a pay ment from an ordinary customer into the house of his bankers. By the 45th section of the local Act, the Com missioners were authorized to appoint, from time to time, one or more treasurer or treasurers, for receiving all monies to be raked for defraying the expensei of paving, but such appointment must be signed by five or more of the Commissioners. In 1810, Mr. Fauntlerof was appointed treasurer, but although the notice for that meeting was signed by five commissioners, the appointment was signed by the chairman only, and therefore such appointment must be void ; but if the Court should be of opinion that the defect in the ap pointment was cured by the subsequent Act of 57 Geo. HI. c. 29, even admitting that these Exchequer bills were to be considered as the produce of rates and assess- , menus, another question would arise, whether the debt ought to be discharged out of the separate estate of Mr. ,Fauntleroy, or the general estate of the bankrupts? As the question was of great importance, he trusted that' if their Lordships should be of opinion that the verdict ought to stand, they would give the defendants an op portunity of taking the opinion of a Court of Error. The LOU) CHM James—Then you must consent to have it 'stated that the 1,7501. was the produce of the rate and assessments. Mr. Pou.oox—Certainty, my Lord. The Loan Cane Jurrtca—Then, Mr. Chitty, you on the other side ought to have it stated in what way the Exchequer bills have been disposed of. Mr. CHITTY could not consent to that. He con. tended, that the 47 sec. of 57 George 111. e.:'9, was t ot confineXto treasurers, collectors, and officers only, but extended to all persons appointed by tie Commi sioneri for the purposes of the Act, and therefore the verdict should be confirmed. The C.Y.T hating consulted together for some time, Th. LORD Cuter Justice stated there was some little difference between the case of " Frost v. Holland and others" and the present, and the Court would take time to consider.
