-S S THE LATE BISHOP SANDFORD. From the Caledonian Mercury. The obsequies of this eminent and lamented Divine were performed on Thursday with great solemnity in St. John's Chapel, amidst the profound grief of a congrega tion over which he had presided 37 years, and of a clerical body, who had looked up to him as their head and orna ment for a large portion of that period. Bishop Sandford was the second son of the Rev. Dr. Sandford, of Sand ford Hall, in the county of Salop, and was born in the house of Dean Delaney, the friend of Swift, near Dublin, in the year 1766. His earliest predilections inclining Lim to the clerical profession, he was entered a com moner of Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1784, and ws soon after presented to a studentship in that distin guished institution. His talents and assiduity recom mended him to the peculiar notice and friendship of the venerable Cyril Jackson, then Dean of Christ Church. Among his most intimate associates at the University were the present Lord Bexley and the late Earl of Liver pool. The elegant and accurate scholarship, for which the Bishop was remarkable through life, obtained him great credit at Oxford. He won the Christ Church prize for a *Latin essay in 1787, and was always eminent for the beauty and correctness of his Latin composition. From his first establishment in Edinburgh, in 1793, his inerifi`ith a pastor and preacher were acknowledged and admired. The deep and unaffected piety of his character, the spotless integrity of his life, the soundness of his doctrinal views, and the meek yet fervid tone of his prac tical exhortations, made a profound and durable impression on`the minds of his hearers. In 1807 he was induced to accept the office of Bishop in the Scottish Episcopal communion, which considerably interfered with a more lucrative advancement in the Church of England, and was'resisted on that account by many of his most intimate friends, who were both able and willing to have promoted his interest in the wealthier department ; but a strong sense of duty prevailed with him, and for twenty-three years he presided over the diocese of Edinburgh in a manner that at once adorned and benefited the Church to which he thus devoted himself. By men of all parties and professions, respect was uniformly paid to his amiable virtues, his unobtrusive dignity of manner, and the extent and variety of his classic and theological acquirements. He lived and died a rare example of true Christian excel lence, and no feelings but those of regret and veneration attend him to the grave. From a Correspondent of the Mercury. The lives of wise and virtuous men, though the most useful to be contemplated, are yet apt to be disregarded in comparison with such as owe their chief celebrity to splendour or originality of genius. When examples, however, of the former kind have been long before our eyes, and placed in situations which natarally attract some degree of attention, our habitual carelessness to simple and unassuming. g oodness, does not operate so much to their prejudice ; we feel that they have left an impression upon us perhaps of a more lasting kind, than if it had, at first, been more forcibly stamped ; and we are unwilling that they should quit the world without some testimony being borne to their unpretending deserts. We believe this has boon a very general feeling on the demise of the venerable individual whose name is prefixed to this paragraph. Though not born among us, he has been so long one of our fellow-citizens, that we almost claim him as belonging to ourselves ; and presiding as he did for 25 years over the respectable communion of which he was a member, he concentrated around him the at tachments not only of the English families residing in our city, who were in him enabled to enjoy the pastoral super inteudance of one of their own countrymen, but likewise of the numerous remnant of the old Episcopalians of this land, whose feelings are peculiarly national and Scottish. It was impossible that a person in such a station should pass through life unmarked. The impression, accord ingly, of his character has been universally felt, but felt chiefly as a moral impression, aided by little else more striking or questionable. With sound and correct abili ties, with the accomplishments both of an elegant and complete scholar, Bishop Sandford put himself forward in no department oliterature, and bad, apparently, no other object of ambition, except the truly Christian one, of dis charging his pastoral duty well and faithfully. Yet few men, in our day, have left us, around whose grave more numerous mourners have assembled, or have been con signed to the dust with a wider or more respectful ex pression of esteem and regret. A character of this kind was of inestimable value in the delicate situation in which he was placed. The first Bishop who bad united the two Episcopalian bodies in this part of the kingdom, if he had not possessed, along with great prudence, an honest and humble mind, he might easily have brought himself and his communion under suspicion with the Established Church. But we believe there has never been, through the whole period of his administration, a feeling of this kind entertained; it.was so evident that no encroachment or assumption was ever in his contemplation, that nothing of the sort was so much as suspected—and his aim throughout was so apparent, to preside, not over a meddling and factious priesthood, but a pure and learned body of churchmen, aware of their own place, and with no wish to step be yond it—that not a few of the most eminent clergymen of the Establishment were seen on Thursday united with his own in paying the last tribute to his remains. It was in private and domestic life, however, that the full excellence of Biehop Sandford's character was to be felt, and it was •by those who were admitted to his inti macy that the sacred source from which that excellence flowed, could likewise be most clearly discerned. It might be said of him. if of any man, that he " did not live by bread alone, but by every wo rd which proceedeth out of the mouth of Goa." The Holy Scripemes were his constant study—in his closet at home, and in his journeyings abroad ; and though the least obtrusive of human beings, ar the least disposed to make any display of his inward piety, it was impossible to be with him for any length of time without being sensible of its deep seat in his soul. By this he was enabled, during all his life, to endure with patience much continued bodily seffering, and by this,• too, a saintly gleam of well-founded trust was thrown over his concluding .hours. The Bishop had entered his 64th year. At a quarter past two o'clock, the hearse, containing the mortal remains of the deceased, moved from his late residence in Melville Street, followed by a number of mourning coaches, and a long train of. gentlemen's car riers, to St. John's Chapel, which was nearly filled by reepectable parsons. The pulpit and reading desks were covered with black cloth, and the attendants of the chapel were dressed in mourning. The body was received at the entrance of the chapel by the whole , of the Episcopal clergy in their robes, who proceeded two and two to the altar,• in front of which the .c.eirm wee. d e p os it e d.

One night last week, a certain person under the int influence of John Barleycorn, entered the Falkirk Reading room, when, after having piled up all the papers he could find io a loose heap on the table, be deliberately set fire to them with the candle. He then retreated down stairs with the same alacrity with which he bad ascended, and got clear off unperceived by the waiter, congratulating himself, probably, on having done a deed which would furnish a paragraph to all the newspapers in the kingdom. The fire, however, was got under before it communicated with the furniture. or had time to extend to any other part of the house, but not before it bad consumed the whole of the newspapers. The dreadful accident-maker was thus not entirely disappointed of his aim. He went home, it is said, to his garret, and indited the fol. lowing facetious account of his own exploit, which will, no doubt, appear in the pages of some newspaper. and which contains as much nay indeed, more truth than most of the wonderful stories which we see from time to time from this quarter. " General Greasy*. ton!—While a gentleman the other night was sitting alone in the Falkirk News Room, engaged in meditating on the glories of the Sun, that luminary by some accident caught fire, and in a few mo ment& appeared in a state of very vivid and active combustion. The flames were soon communicated to the Globe, which was quickly enwrapt in the devouring element. The aspect of the Times was then completely changed. The Mercury rose with as tonishing rapidity. The Scotsman looked exceedingly hot and fiery, but in a shout time entirely disappeared in a mist. The Bull was roasted alive, and the Observer was no longer observable. The Standard, with its new administration headed by the Duke of Richmond, blew up like gunpowder, and fell in dust and ashes before the Courier, who was himself also quickly dispatched. Lec turers on political economy, and treatises on corn, Catholics. and currency, were changed intoelouds of vapour and obscurity, while the fire was urged on by the great quantity of puffs which on every side administered to its violence. Volumes of magazines were converted Imo volumes of smoke, and a great deal of Black-wood was completely charred.—All the portentous events, however, ended, we are happy to say, in no other calamity than the deotruc tioa of 40 or SO files of newspapers, the spoiling of a mahogany table, and the singeing of a Wilton carpet."—Sfisiiiss JeurssoL LA IV INTELLIGENCE.

If, bowing, his Lordship could not act on the petition as the affidavits med. sufficient time not having been allowed to have made more, the Learned Counsel hoped the Court would direct some other medi cal gentleman to see the alleged lunatic.

His Honeys said that such an advantage could by no means be snowed. It was notorious that proof of a debt and receipt of a di vidend was payment of the debt as against that estate, and therefore the petition must be dismissed.

The motion was made upon allldavits. stating that a rate was wanting to repair the church, end that the repairs could not be made without Churchwardens were elected. It appeared that the parish had been without Churchwardens since the year 1670, and at a late meeting of the inhabitants they came to a determination not to have any. Mr. Pounce this day submitted that the Court would not issue a Mandamus to compel the parish to make rates. Lord Turzaezn—No, not to make rates, but to elect Church wardens. Mr. Pottoce said it did not appear that this parish bad elected Churchwardens during the last hundred years. The Mandamus then applied for was directed to the inhabitants of the parish, and in that form it must be useless. Wbo was to make the return to it? And who was to be attached in the event of a peremptory Mandamus not being obeyed! It was a case which called for fur ther inquiry before the Court could allow the Writ to issue.

Mr. Sergeant 'hoot/ said he appeared there with a rule to show cause why the defendant, an attorney, should not be struck off the roll of this Court ; that motion was made on the affidavit of a man of the same name, who stated that the defendant, James Collins, had ►een for thirty years employed as his confidential attorney, but was in no way related to him.—Rule discharged with costs. MIL V. MOIL, MIT._ This action was tried a few days since, at Guildhall, before Lord Tartraanan and a Special Jury, and was brought to recover some money which had been paid to the defendant for eight cottages, and also the espeuses of the conveyance, and the costs the plaintiff had been put to in bringing an action of ejectment to obtain the pos. erasion. A verdict for the plaintiff was then entered, subject to a new trial, if the Court should overrule an opinion given by Lord Tretzaor.n to an objection raised by the Counsel of the defendant, and which his Lordship at the time overruled. Mr. Castrart.t. now applied to the Court in behalf of the de fendant, for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside a nd a new trial granted, on the ground that a possession wrongfully commenced never could be a reason to held against the right owner. The plaintiff had purchased this property of the defendant, who had permitted the paupers to reside in the cottages in question for more than 20 years, without receiving any remune ration from the overseers, and therefore the action of ejectment Mr. Justice Hosaorn decided at the trial would not lie; but be cause the plaintiff had been nonsuited in that action it was no rea son that be should be entitled to bring an action against the present defendant. Lord TiIITUDZIR was of opinion that the defendant ought to have proved his title; and he would not throw the responsibility of proving that the overseers had no title on the Plaintiff. The other Judges concurred, and the rule was refused. lUIWW OW TM COMM Lord Taerroosst said he wished it to be publicly understood, both by Counsel and Attorneys. that the Court would not. under any circumstances. entertain any motion for a new trial after the first four days of Term. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. JAN. 25. LOAIMA V. THOMAS. Mr. Guesser appeared to chew cause against a rule obtained last Term for arrest of judgment in this case. . Mr. Baron BOLLAND proceeded to read the declaration and the Learned Judge's notes of the trial. The declaration stated that the Defendant agreed to deliver, and did deliver, thirty sacks of Walls-end coals to John Green, at the House of Correction far Brixtoo—that the purchaser suspected that the coals were short of measure, and accordingly sent for a meter to re-measure the dale, hich were found to be deficient eight bushels. The first, second. fourth, and fifth counts, laid the fact of the meter's attendance as being within two hours. The other counts varied the time of the meter's attendance as being above two hours. As the Learned Judge was about to read the evidence, be was stopped by Mr. Gurney, who stated that the question was simply, whether under the Act of 47 Gee. 111. chap. 68, the meter was obliged to be at the house of the purchaser within two hours or net. The 116th section of the Act enacts, that if the pur chaser is dissatisfied with the measurement, he is to give no tice to the carman of his wish to have the coals re-measured, and the carman is to remain until the meter has arrived. The 117th sec. enacts that notice shall be given of the re-measurement to the vendor or his agent and to the principal meter, and thereupon a meter, within two hours of the time the notice was given , should attend from the principal meter's office at the purchaser's house. The *ado* then went on to enact penalties. The Leas ned Counsel contended, that the meaning of the Act was, that the meter should leave the principal meter's office within the two hours, and not that he should be st the purchaser's house within that period, as, from the wide space comprehended in the Act, in many cases it would be totally impossible for the meter to be there. Mr. Sergeant Annaews (with whom was Mr. Tuessuiaa) on the other side, contended that the meter was obliged to be at the pur chaser's house within the two hours, and that setting out from the principal meter's office was not enough to be the vendor with the penalties imposed by the Act, and therefore the re-measurement which took place was void in law. After some conversation, Mr. Baron Qaaanw seta as the question was extremely im portant to the whole of the community, the. Court would take time to consider its judgment. LONDON SESSIONS, J•x. its.

This was an appeal, wherein the °vent ers,Bcc. of the first-named parish were appellants, and those of the latter were respondents, in regard to the settlement of a pauper. Catherine Hoburo, the wife of the pauper, was called to prove the occulting of some premises in the neighbourhood of Barbican. The witness to the first question deposed that she was born, bred, and educated a Protestant ; but site was •• net quite" one when she was married, because she used to go to a Catholic chapel with her ' husband's sister for two years before she married him, in Dublin, by a Catholic Clergyman, in 1808. The Coon said the order must be confirmed. _ _ _ Chnseliass Creed and Michael Creed, brothers. were indicted for committing a brutal assault upon James Flood and Robert Mor dant, on the 26th of December last. The prosecutors stated that the prisoners took up each a boot. tree with which they beat complainants in a most brutal manner. The Jury found them both Guilty.—To a question from Mr. Alderman Vessables, the dicer said they were both reputed thieves, and well known upon liulboni and /Wow-Mlle. They were sentenced to be imprisoned and keptto bard labour in Giltspur-street Compter for six calendar months. It is said that the Ludy of an Irish Baronet is soon to make her appearance on the stage, as the means of pro 'riding for a numerous family, left without any adequate provision, in conseqsence of a series of pecuniary mis fortunes, the last of which arose from speculations in steam carriages. As the lady's nearest connections are in the 'enjoyment of immense wealth, and all its accompanying influence in society, such a debut must excite an unusual degree of interest. DARING ROBBERY.—A daring attempt at robbery was made early on Sunday morning, hi' the bone of Mr. Incel, a oorn-cbandier, residing in Edward-street, Stepney. The family: had retired to bed at au early boor, and about two o'clock were alarmed by bearing a slight noise on the stairs.

PRICE OF LRATHER. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Page, alias Nselleils, was brought up, charged with having broken into two shops in Sweeting's-alley, and from thence through a wall into another house and into the cellars, and with having stolen a quantity of plate, &c. Morgan, an °Meer, stated that, at five minutes after three on Sun. day afternoon, as he was walking through Sweeting's.alley, he saw the door which led to shops Nos. 17 and 18, which he conceived to be empty, open. As he was going to ask a person who lived opposite about it, the prisoner walked out at the door, and went towards Witness went up to hies as he turned back, and said. " Halos, Page, what do you do here?" "Stop," said Page, "what do yootwant with me?" " No nonsense," said witness," I must keep you." The prisoner struggled hard to get away, and dropped from under his coat a bundle of plate ; after wbicb he made a des. perare resistance, but, by the assistance of a waiter, he was secured. The bundle contained silver spoons, salt-stands, a quantity of watch movements, &c. Mr. Elliot stated that a hole had been cut from the empty shop into his house, and that the thieves then got into the cellar. They bad ransacked all the drawers, and the three seals which were found upon the prisoner were his property, and had been taken from his drawn.. The plate that bad been taken from the pri soner was only part of what had been stolen, and ad2o in cash had been also taken. The prisoner, who thanked Sir P. Lamm for the very impar tial manner in which he bad conducted the investigadon, was re- manded for further examination. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a respectable-looking female, who stated that her name was kill Swim, appeared before Sir RSCHAIID Blame, charged with having damaged the cape of police-constable No. 133, F. Division. The complainant stated that, as he was on duty on Saturday night, in Great St. Andrew's -street, Seven-dials, he was called upon by the defendant to take a man into custody ; but as she re. fused to state the nature of her charge, be declined to do so, and suffered the man to go away ; upon which she flaw at him like a tigress, and tore the cape of his great coat to tatters, in conse quence of which he took her to the watch-house. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that. as she was coming out of an earthenware-shop in the street before mentioned, she was wilfully ran against by a man. The violence of the con cussion was so great that she felt completely stunned by it, and on recovering herself a little, called on the complainant to do his duty, which he however declined to do, unless she entered into the par ticulars of her charge; and because she was not as explicit as be wished her to be, he suffered the offending pirty to walk away, and seizing her by the throat, dragged het through the puddles to the watch-house. It was, she concluded, impossible for her adequately to describe the brutal manner in which she bad been ed. The wife of the proprietor of the earthenware shop corroborated the defendant's statement, not only as to the unmanly conduct of the fellow who had so wantonly pushed against her, but also with respect to the unjustifiable manner in which she had been treated by the complainant. Inspector Preece said that he had known the defendant for a long time, and could testify as so her respectability. He was never more surprised in his life than when she was brought to the watch house.. Sir R• Bums expressed the utmost indignation towards the con stable. and declared that he was wholly unfit for the °thee he held. The duty of constables was to conduct themselves with temper and moderation, and to preserve the peace instead of breaking it, as the complainant had done in the present iustance. Under all the cir cumstance,, he (Sir Richard) would discharge the woman ; and. unless the Inspector made a proper report oo the subject to the Commissioners, he (Sir Richard) would feel it an Imperative duty to forward a full representation of the matter himself. Inspector Preece said he would not fail in noticing the busineu to the Superintendant. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Minos and Joke Larigky, together with Elisabeth. the wile of the latter, were yesterday placed at the bar before the Presiding Magistrate, F. A.

The case has been already before the public, and the father of the female prisoner appeared. but either could not or would not speak to the fact so as to render the case tit for a Jury. Mr. (loran also appeared, but was unable to swear to the linen, and the prisoners were discharged. HATTON GARDEN.
