In her passage from here to Guarmey, she likewise put in three or four times fur the same reason. The owner of the boat, who had in vested his whole fortune to the amount of 50,000 dollars in her, was so much discouraged, that while the passengers were at dinner (with the exception of five on shore, gunning), be went below, and fired a pistol into the magazine. The whole quarter-deck of the vessel was blown into the air; five of the passengers were killed, and se veral wounded.

DREADFUL, Ft ass.—At half-past three yesterday after noon a fire broke out in Strahan's-place, Ball's Pond, Islington, which raged for three hours with ungovern able fury. Maberly Chapel, with its rich service of communion plate, tke. was consumed, and so rapid was ' the progress of the flames, that, within an hour and a half of its commencement, four houses, exclusive of the Chapel, were destroyed. Three persons, belonging to the Phonic Fire Office, fell victims to the devouring element, besides a child about four years of age, whose heart - r eading cries having reached the ears of its af flicted mother, she rushed ihrough the flames to its as sistance, with all the solicitude of maternal aff.ction ; but, alas! her efforts to prevent its falling a sacrifice to their fury was unavailing. There was a . great scar city of water, and, owing to the distince, it was some time before the engines arrivel—Wednesday night a fire was discovered at the mansion of John Maberly, Esq. M.P. Shirley House, near Croydon, which, by the speedy arrival of the Croydon engines, was got under with little damage.—An alarming the broke out on Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, at Whitehill, near Boughton, in Kent. A stack and two cottages were destroyed before the flames could be extinguished. In the Police Court, Edinburgh, on Saturday, a brutal fellow was convicted of overloading and cruelly beating ,his ass, and fined 20s. Some Gentlemen, who observed the poor animal trembling under its weary load, re monstrated with the driver, who threatened, if they said *any more, that the ass had got nothing to what it would get.

Worst&ME, Esq. Barrister, and W. D. WRITXASSIII and S. Foots, &qrs. Attor neys, to enquire into the state of mind of the Rev. THOWAV Tatoor, of Sutton Mandeville, in the County of Wits, a Jury was on Wednesday summoned from the most respectable inhabi teats of Salisbury, and an inquest held at the Black Horse Inn, in that city. After hearing evidence, the unfe,rttinate lunatic was brought in. He was most respectable in appearance, and looked very healthy. He underwent a long examination. Every reply, however, only served to depicture a great mind In ruins--occasicundly sensible of its original dignity. He stated that all he wanted was liberty; de tailed the effects of the sir blows ; confirmed in every point the as sertions of Drs. Fowler and Thomas, and cautioned the Jury bow they found a verdict against the Lord's anointed. After the charge from the Learned Commissioner, the Jury re turned a verdict, " That the Rev. Thomas Talbot had been td insane mind from the 24th of December, 1823." LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Mmtas 31. EX PARTS GRINSTEAD IN THE MATTER OF HOWARD AND GIBBS. The facts cf this case have been frequently before the public. The petitioner, Mr. Grinstead, it will be recollected, claimed a right to prove a debt of about 96,0001. uprin the estate of the bankrupts, which was resisted on the ground of alleged usury. The Lord Chancellor having directed an issue, the case was tried in the Court of Common Pleas,.and a verdict returned against the petition. An application was then made to .this Court for a new trial, which was granted; but on the day fixed for the trial, only three of the Special Jury being in attendance, and a taks not consented to, it was put off to another day. Upon the arrival of that day, the leading Counsel not being able to attend, the case'again went off; and the Lord Chancellor having been applied to to decide it, without the interven tion of a Jury, his Lordship agreed to do so, intimating at the same time that he would hear two Counsel on each side. Immediately before the holydays, Mr. Mon tagu premed the Court to proceed with the hearing, but it was suggested, on the other side, that Mr. Ser geant Wilde, who had argued the case before, and was retained on this occasion also, was then absent on tit-- cuit, and would not return until after Easter; upon which the Lord Chancellor said that he would give up two of the holydays, for the• purpose of hearing as much as he could of the case before the next seal, and therefore fixed this day and to-morrow for that pur pose, with an understanding that he would then wait for Mr. Serjeant Wilde's return, and hear his argument on a subsequent day. In pursuance of this arrange ment, his Lordship came down to Court this morning at ten o'clock, and heard the arguments of Mr. Ser geant Spankie and Mrs. Montague on behalf of the petitioner, who, they contended, was not privy to Mr. Gibbs's usurious transactions, but was altogether the victim of that Gentleman's deceptions. The LORD C.amaccaLoa rose at four o'clock, wing that he would proceed with the came another day. L. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH, MmicatS. The Court proceeded to the cause in which Dr. J. Ha milton, jun. of Edinburgh, Professor of Midwifery in the University of Edinburgh, was pursuer, and Dr. Thomas C. Hope, Professor of Chemistry, in the same University, was defender. Whether, on or about the 23J day of April, 1825, at a meeting of the Senates of the Univirsity, and in the presence and hearing of the Professors," the defender did falsely, maliciously, and caluMbiously, Impute intended falsehood to the pursuer, by stating that the pursuer was a liar, or a malicious Ind impudent Gan Or that he, tlae putsuer, not only lied, but knevi that he did so ; or did use or utter words to that effect, to the injury and damage of the pursuer ? There were two counter issues, the substance of which was—whether, on or about the 19tli of January, 1824, the pursuer did present or communicate to the Magis trates of Edinburgh, as Patrons of the said University, a printed memorial, containing the following words, or words to the following effect, viz.—" That the memo rialist can prove that the present Professor 61 Chemistry does not teach the processes of pharmacy, nor the making of chemical preparations for the apothecaries shops."—" That no man can now practice physic with safety to the public, without .a knowledge of the diseases, of women and children, and that none of the members of the medical faculty, as presently constituted, do teach that knowlede." And that "the diseases of women and children ' was "a subject on which no other Professor of the College gives any information." And whether the whole, or any part of the aforesaid words, wers known to the pursuer to be false. Damages laid at 5;0001. Mr. Cockburn, for the pursuer, called Pro fessors Bell, Napier, and Sir W. Hamilton, who de posed to the use of very strong and improper language by the defender, and the Solicitor-General having ad dressed the Jury for the defence, the Chief Commis sioner summed up the evidence. The Jury were en. cl.)sed at a quarter p ist two o'clock this morning, and rem lined enclosed until half-past three, when the; re turned a verdict in favour of the pursuerd,Damages.sool. MIL ACCOUNT OF HIS AERIAL EXCURSION ON THURSDAY LAST.—At eight minntes past five o'clock, we ascended from the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. Having made a rapid ascent on Toesddy, I was aniious, it possible, to primed slowly on this occasion, with the twofold object of gratifying the public, by remaining longer in sight, and at the sense time of affording to the companions of my voyage a more ample opportunity of viewing the varies: beauties , of that world which they had just left behind them. In both respects I fully succeeded; if any satisfaction was felt by those below, who marked our track through the vast vault of Heaven; I can answer for the gradient:ion of those above. After we had risen to the height of from 800 to 1,000 feet, we were borne to the eastward for some time ; but a fresh current of air then took us southerly, and we crossed the Thames considerably be low London Bridge. We had here a fine opportunity) of tracing the course of the river, in all its beiuty, it being then nearly flood tide. The-shipping seemed to us like a great forest, and almost every object was clearly discernible—though from the immensity of dis tance, greatly reduced in size. The villages of Lime house, Deptford, Stepney, and Greenwich. - were quite as visible to us as we were to their inhabitants, whilst the “ great and mighty heart" of the nation lay, in the perspective, a confused and incongruous mass of boild ing. In about fifteen minutes from our uc . ensionwe entered a stratum •or cloud, which was uncommonly cold and dense i"ese 'emerging from this, we enconn tereJ a heavy shod} of snow of delicate whiteness, and peculiarly floe.

This terror to publicans, officers, and watchmen, again made her appea•ance this day at the Guildhall, Westmin•ter, to answer the charge of Mr. Timothy Priest, of Tothill-street, who complained that she had, with malice prepense, assaulted, wounded, and beaten the body corporate of • him, the said prosecutor, about half-past 5 o'clock in the morning of the 17th Janu try hest. The circumstances attending the present case were precisely the same as those which characterised her Ladyship's conduct on , former occasions, and the charge. being proved against her, the COURT', in consi deration of her having already been confined since the 17th January, sentenced her to 14 days' confinement. John Davies was placed at the bar, charged with ad ministering a quantity of laudanum to a person named Harvey, with intent to rob him. Harvey, an honest, innocent, simple countrysian, related, that on the 23d of the present month, he was walking in Fetter•lane, when the prisoner accosted him. He asked which was the best way to St. James's Park ? Harvey told him ; and as he affected to be a stranger, he vffered to shew him some of the London curiosities. The offer was ac cepted, and dig walked together for some time, and at length they stopped to dine at a public-house, at the corner of Cecil-court. After their d n"er, they each took a glass of rum and water; while drinking the liquor, the prisoner was observe.% by a barber in the room, to pour something from a vial in the prosecutor's glass. An officer was rent for, the prisoner taken into custody, and carried before Sir R. Birnie at Bow -street. Before the examination was completed, the prosecutor became so sleepy, as to render it impossible to avoid yielding to the propensity. The next day the prosecutor found a vial in his pocket, which had evidently contain• ed laudanum, but how it had been conveyed thither, he was unaware. Inquiries were made at the shop of a irighbouring druggist; and from the assistant of that person it appeared, the prisoner bad purchased a qua*. city of laudanum in a vial similar to that found by-the protecinor in his pocket. This was the evidence ad• doted on the part of the prosecution. Mr. BA PAY addressed the Jury for [the prisoner, and contended that the charge was supported by suck unsatisfactory twig:knee that they could not convict his client. The Jury having consulted some minutes, returned a werdet of Guilty. The Cnatawax, with some remarks on the peculiar atrocity of the prisoner's offence, sentenced him to be imprisoned for two years in the House of Correction. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. " THE CHACE.
