A special meeting of the Shareholders of the above C o mpany was held yesterday at the Ca" of London -Tavern, Bishopsgate-sts eet,for the purpose of confirming the following Resuldtion, passed at the last Meeting : That after this tune fifty skates, at least, shall be the qualifica tion for a Director. Any person who may be appointed a Director at the present Meeting, being, however, at liberty to complete his qualification within a month." The Chair was taken at one o'clock by Mr. Homier Ponta's, and the Resolution war unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some observations ad dressed to him, stated that the affairs of the Company were likely to go on in a very prosperous way, and that there was every likelihood that the Abersyean lease would be executed in a few days. It was also mentianed that the proceedings in the Court of Exchequer on the part of the Company against Mr. Attwood, were taken under the advice of Mr. Bickersteth. We understood, although it was not stated publicly at the Meeting, that the above Resolution became ne cessary in consequence of the reduction of the shares from 1001. each to 501. Under the former regulations 25 shaves were a sufficient qualification for a Director, and the number was now doubled in of der that his stake in the Company might still be the same. COVENT GARDEN THEATkE. Mr. YOUNG played Richard the Third last night. Mr. YOUNG, in whatever he personates, is a Gentleman—his dignity may be eclipsed, but it is never wholly hidden; and in the midst of those scenes, in which the conduct of Richard most outrages the notions of right, there was an ease and polish which gave them smoothness. He was singularly successful in the very trying scene of the Tent, which was much applauded. The Death Scene, and the fencing which preceded it, were alse admirably managed. When he felt himself wounded, and began to wax feeble, he still faced his enemy, and attempted to parry and return his thrusts; but there was nothing ache Indian-like spirit of revenge in strug gling to strike when the contest was hopeless. WA itDE, in Richrnorrd, acted with his usual judgment and discri mination. Mrs. &OMAN was a very interesting Lady Aisne; and the play, which was very well cast, was warmly applauded throughout. ADELPHI THEATRE. Last night the enterprising Establishment of this Theitre brought out another novelty—a Nautical Bur letta, called 44 The flying Dutchman, or the Phantom Ship." It is the production of the successful author of 44 The Pilot." Tradition sayeth, that the " Flying Dutchman" is a vessel that sailed from Amsterdam about a century ago: the master's name was Vander decken. He was an extraordinary fellow, a sort of " devil of a fellow," as might be observed in common parlance ; and his constant boast was indeed, that " he always would have his own way in spite of the devil:' Once, on doubling the Cape, they were a whole day trying to weather Table Bay,the wind increasing a head of them, and randerdecken walking the deck, continued swearing fearfully; just after sunset, he was spoke by a vessel, who asked him if he did not mean to go into the Bay that night? to which Vanderdecken, with a tremendous oath, replied, "he would net, though he should beat about till the Day of Judgment." Vander decken never did go into Table Bay, and is believed to undergo the doom he so desperately dated. His vessel is still seen in the Cape Seas in foul weather, sailing against the fi ercest storm, with every inch of canvas, giving in vain to reach her home, or to send dispatches to relatives by other vessels, The dramatizer fairly acknowledges himself to be chiefly indebted to " Black wood's Magazine" for the materials of this wild story. It is amazingly well got up. Mr. T. COOKS, as would be expected, is the mysterious and devoted Vanderdecken; and by the gloomy and supernatural' style of his performing the character, be arouses an in tenseness of interest that would hardly be expected from such a story. Its developement, however, is ju diciously intermingled with comic incidents, consigned to the care of, and well supported by, Mr. Waexcla and Mr. Reeve. The supernatural Captain, for such he had become, sadly disturbs the family f Captain Peppercoal, a fine fiery old Gentleman, by all sorts of mysterious visits to them ; and he carries off Lestelle, (Miss Bonen) old Peppercoal's daughter, to the depths of the ocean. There is some really grandly terrific scenery here, displaying the flying Dutch ship floating under the water, or rather its 64 phantom ;" and after wards a view of the party in 66 Davy's locker," alias the infernally sub-marine regions. The lover, the father, Bronmel (Mr. J. Reeve) a cockney Dutchman, and Toby Varnish (Mr. Westica) follow them; and even tually beat the plans of his Satanic Majesty's agent,i Vanderdecken. The closing scene was powerfully de-I lineated: the inundation of the Devil's cave, and the narrow escape of Lestelle and bar protecting friend, were acted with great and scenic force. It ems ea tremely well received, and announced for repetition amidst loud applause. Mrs. Comets and•the Earl of Lauderdale were in one private hoz, and Mr. Rose Ellis, M.P. and family in another, to witness the performance. Hai Leanne said. they certainly might. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. 4. LIUL-111/1 actxurza.—erni LIM P. JOlllll HMIS This was an indictment against the defendant, who is the proprietor and publisher of the Examiner Sunday newspaper, for having published in the said newspaper, of the 19th of February last, a false, scandalous, and malicious libel, of and concerning Nicholas Charles Bochsa, a Professor in the Royal Academy of Music. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Scatturnr—This was a prosecution against the defendant, Mr. John Hunt, who was the editor and proprietor of the Examiner Sunday newspaper. A cause of the same nature was tried two days ago, between the present prosecutor, Mr. Bochsa, and other defendants, who were the publisher and proprietor of the Sunday Monitor newspaper, and who had published a cruel and malignant attack upon the character of Mr. Bochsa. He was ready to admit that the publication which had given rise to this prosecution was not so full of virulence, of vulgarity, or of ?eproach, as the publication to which he had just alluded, but still it was a libel, and for the publicatioi of it the defendant was criminally answer able. I cannot help thinking (said Mr. Scarlett), that a great portion of time is often wasted in fruitlessly trying to persuade a Jury out of their senses, that matter of the most vilifying and slanderous description is- not a libel ; and I do not think that the eloquence of my friend, Mrs Brougham, or any other Gentleman at the Bar, will persuade you to think that calling a man " a thief," or " a rogue," or " a colleague at the devil," (such was the substance of the libel; is not libelous. That the defendant 114 done with respect to Mr. Bochsa, and when you have heard the matter I have to submit to you to read, it will be for you to say whether it is a libel or not. We all know perfectly well that there ape three modes in which a man may peoceed for redress in a Court of Justice when he has been libelled —First, he may bring an action ; secondly, he may apply for a criminal information; and lastly, which is the most constitutional and ancient mode, he may prefer a bill of indictment; but we find, according. to modern practice, that whichever course the party libelled takes, the defendant always insists, by his Counsel, that he ought to take one of the other , two courses. If, for example, he brings an action, in which you know he cannot be examined as a wit ness (I don't mean to say, I have beard my Friend Mr. Brougham say, but I would not swear I have not), Ktsrosrois (JAMAICA), 14.—An affair of honour the defendant's Counsel immediately says, that the took place this morning at daylight, between J. J. bringing an action is a proof that the prosecutor did not Stamp, Esq. Member in Assembly, and William Bruce, dare m expose himself to a close cross-examination in Esq. The affair originated from some publications a witness box. Again, if the prosecutor moves the Court which appeared in the newspapers relative toMr.Stamp. for a criminal information, the defendant's Counsel says That Gentleman, in consequence, called upon Mr. Aik- " that is an unconstitutional way of proceeding ; why man, the proprietor of the Gazette, and required satis- did he not go before a Grand Jury?" lathe next place, faction. Mr. Aar man referred him to the author, Mr. if he prefers a bill of indictment, the defendant's Counsel Bruce, the editor of the Royal Gazette. Mr. Stamp says, u why did he not bring an action, in which case considered Mr. Aikman personally responsible, and we could have justified the truth of the libel, or why caused him to be posted. Mr. Bruce immediately paid did he not move for a criminal information, when he Mr. Scamp the same compliment. The police-officer would be obliged to swear to its falsehood ?" So that very prope.ly pulled down the placard, atid diligently you see the unhappy man libelled always has the choke endeavoured to arrest the parties, but they kept so well of difficulties, because the law (which by no means concealed that the constables could not succeed. The favours libels) allows him several' remedies, and yet parties having met, Mr. Stamp fired and missed. Mr. resort to which he will, the libeller taunts him with not !Bruce then tired in the air.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Diem= 4. ISSN JOSIS S. VALIT imp aromas. Mr. SHADWILL moved that his Lordship would be pleased to grant an injunction to restrain the defend ants, their servants, or any other persons from selling or disposing of a work, entitled Schrevelis Greek Leib , con," translated into English. The plaintiff grounds his application, by stating, that previous to the year 1823, he compiled a Greek and English Lexicon, and which was afterwards published in the year 1823, by Mesirs. Longman and Co. and that in the year 1825, all the copies were sold, and subsequently he published a second edition, with considerable additions and altera. tions, and in the year 1826 the defendant published a work entitled Schrevelis' Greek Lexicon, translated into English, a copy of whi c h was sent to t h e p l a i nt iff, and on reading over the preface, the defendants admit ted they took extracts from the plaintiff's work. In the month of August last, the plaintiff, on looking more minutely into -the work, discovered many hundred plagiarisms, and no doubt, if accurately numbered, it would be discovered that upwards of 6,000 plagiarisms had beers made use of. Plaintiff on these humbly prayed his Lordship would grant an order to restrain the defendants from selling the work. The LORD CsAsczu.oa. —When did he first discover it ? Mr. Smaowm..—ln the month of April last he first saw the book, but it was not until the month of August he discovered the number of plagiarisms.—lnjunction granted. WILLZSLTY AND HIS CHILDIO6 The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, on reading over the list of causes for hearing this day, the case of Wel lesley and his children. His Lordship said, when he last heard the cause it was proposed by Counsel to send him copies of the affidavits during the recess last week, but be had not as yet seen any. Mr. HART said, it was a mistake of the officer of the Court in entering the cause on the list, as there were some of the affidavits not filed yet, and it was agreed by' Counsel on both sides to defer the hearing for some days. WAINWRIGHT V. WITH. Mr. TRESLOVE moved, on the part of the defendant,, for an order of this Court to set aside a bail-bond given by his client to the Sheriff under the following short circumstances :—The plaintiff is a Clerk in Court, the defendant is an Attorney at Kidderminster; the plain tiff, as indorsee upon a promissory note, haying a de mand against the defendant, and not being able to pro cure the money, arrested him ; the defendant gave the bail-bond in question, and now applied to have it set aside on the ground that he was not liable to an arrest, even by a Clerk in Court. Mr. HART opposed the motion. His LORDSHIP said, that ever since he , had come into this Court, which, he was sorry to say, was now between forty and fifty years ago, all authority had been against the proposition now submitted en the part of this de fendant, and the Court was therefore now called upon to beat down all preceding authority oa the subject—a length of practice being authority—but which he Fel.- tainly could dot do. He would, however, look back into the history of a Solicitor entering this Court, and if be found such a privilege extending to him as was now contended for, he would hesitate before he took that privilege away from the Solicitors of the Court. HART supposed, if the Court should say nothing further upon the case, the parties might nnderstand the motion to be dismissed with costs. Thu usual proof of publication haring been glee*, tire libel wu put in sad read. Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Jury for the defendant,' and contended, that as no malicious motive, according to the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prose cution, hAd influenced the defendant in publishing the alleged libel ; and as he had, by the course of proceed ing adopted by the defendant, been precluded from proving the truth of the publication, the Jury would not be justified in pronouncing a verdict of guilty. His Loansurr having summed up, The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty. We are happy to state, that the Loan Cam Junin' lam ap parently recoyeted from the effecu of his late accident. WILLIAMS % PATSICS. This action was brought 6y an infant, Arongh the medium of his nearest relation, to recover damages for pain and anguish he endured in consequence of a ladder (ailing on him in Rosemary-lane. The defendant, who is a bricklayer, had a ss i s ted i n ra i s i ng a l a dd er before the house of a Mr. Newball, and common prudence re quired it should be fastened. It was, however, left in a dangerous state ; the wind blew it down ; and falling struck a child on the head. The infant was taken in a state of insensibility to the house of a surgeon. and for a time his life was despaired of. The defendant, whilst the child's life was in danger, said he would make any sort of redress, but after the recovery, he said he would pay nothing. The defence was, that the defendant was not the person liable to make compensation. It was alleged that he only assisted in raising the ladder to enable a carpenter named . Squibb to do some work upon a cornice. The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 401. OLDHAM V. THZ EARL Or lITZATH3IBII. This was an action to recover the amount of an ironmonger's bill for articles supplied to the order of Lady Strathmore. The order of the articles by Lady Strathmore, and the dater/ at her Ladyship's seat in Nottinghamshire, having been proved, there was no defence, and the Jury found for the plaintiff . — Damages, 281. ♦SSSAULT am 16 MAYNE. This was an indictment against the defendant, a landholder in Hanworth Park, 'Middlesex, for assaulting Daniel Hopping on the . 16th of April last. Mr. HAW [IN* said, the prosecutor, Mr. Hopping, was a respectable man ; the defendant occupied a farm house in Hanworth Park. On the day mentioned in the indictment, the prosecutor was going through Han worth Park to Feltham ; be had not proceeded far before he was met by the defendant, who asked where he was going? The prosecutor said he was going to Feltham. The defendant said if he did not go back he would put him in the cage. The prosecutor stated, hat he had often travelled the same road before, and re fused to go back. The defendant then alled three men, who took Mr. Hopping by the hands and legs, and con veyed him to the cage. He remained all night in custody, and next morning was taken before a Magis: trate on a charge of trespass, but the Magistrate in stantly dismissed him. This was the nature of the as sault, which the Learned Counsel undertook to prove by witnesses. _ 'The prosecutor, when examined, proved the above statement. The Loan Cale, JUSTICI then asked Mr. Adblphus whether he had any answer to the case ? Mr. ADOLPHUS said, the man was in a state of exces sive intoxication, and that he was so abusive at the time the congregation were coming out of Church on Sunday, that defendant was compelled to put him in the cage. The LORDCHIET JUSTICS—I will take your evidence; but if a drunken man is found in a park, and another calls his men to take him to the cage, that is unlawful. Thomas Bean. who saw the prosecutor go into Hanworth Park, confirmed Hopping's statement. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in his address to the Jury, said the prosecutor had trespassed, and when ordered to quit the park and go to the main road, be made a dis turbance just as the congregation left the Church. He was so drunk and abusive that it was necessary t o put him in the cage. Mr. Mayne's bailiff, avid two others, were called to pro ♦e the de fendant's case. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE, in his charge to the Jury, said, Mr. Mayne could not by law imprison a m an f or trespassing on his ground. He might take him back to the high road; and if the Jury should thi n k he was properly taken back to the road, and that it was there necessary to confine him, in consequence of outrageous behaviour, they ought to find the defendant not guilty. If he was a trespasser, the defendant had a right to order him to go back, and if he refused, he had a right to re move him.—The Jury found the defendant guilty. SHERIFFS COURT. Mann", Doc. 4.

This was an information filed by the Attorney Ge l neral against George Wood, the printer, publisher, and sole proprietor of the Kent Herald. The information i charged him with having inserted in the Kent Herald, during the month of December, 1825, and the months of JAnuary, February, March, and April, 1826, certain advertisements, upon which the stamp duty, which is As. 6d. on each, had not been paid, whereby the Com missioners of Stamps were defrauded to the amount 'of 1821. 61. The defendant had pleaded Not Guilty. The SOLICITOR GENERAL stated the case to the Jury. The facts were all proved in the ordinary way. No defence was made, and the Jury found a verdict for the Crown to the amount claimed. taxa a. .111t0114111 36111411110111 G - - - The information in. this case charged the defendant with having run a stage coach from London to Ports• mouth for a certain time without paying the duty,which amounted to 741. 15f.

At starting the mare made pl.'', and kept the lead throughout, closely followed at that speed which left most of the gallopers behind. At the fourteenth mite the mare was passed by Spitfire, and in the sixteenth they were together ; but the mare gained a little, and her jockey, from superior speed, wu enabled so ease her.
