The anniversary meeting of this Society was on Friday bald at the London Tavern, which was very numerou►ly attended. Sear Admiral Pulliam in the Chair. 'llls Chairman briefly addressed the meeting, stating the purposes for which they bad met together, and for which the Society had been formed—the advancement of religion among seamen. lie could but regret the lamentable state of ignorance in which that valuable class of the community had so long existed ; and be expressed a hope that from the formatico of societies such as the present, It would be speedily di.persed. The report of the progress of the advancement of religion in vat ions parts at England, and some of the Colonies, made by the exertions of the Society was then read, after which; several resolution., with respect to future proceedings, were put and carried. At eight o'clock, the Kati of Roam entered the room, and took a seat on the right hand o f t h e Chair m an, amid mach appl_u•e. In putting one of the resolutions, his Lordship in a few words, expre.►ed hi. satisfaction at the purposes for which-the Society had bean formed, and pro. mired frbis warmest patronage. Several of the blinistcts of the Society in the course of the bvening addressed the Meeting at ion adetable length, and ft did not break up until a late hour. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Mar Hr. EX PARTE JONES, IN THE MATTER OP SIZJS AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. Mr. MONTAOU appeared in support of a Petition which had been presented, praying the - order of the Court, that a certain quantity of stock standing in the books of the Bank of England in the name of Mr. Sikes, one of the partners, in the firm of Sikes, Snaith, and Co. bankers, against whom a commission had issued , might he tran sferred io the petitioner, the csstui que trust.— There was no question of the justice and expediency of such an order, he observed, according to the principles of equity, although formerly great difficulty had been felt on similar applications, owing to the doubts which the Court entertained as to their power over such cases. The 79th section of the late Bankrupt Act, however, had removed all such doubts, and gave the Court a summary power, the exercise of which he now prayed, and that the assignees of Sikes and Co. might be directed to join in the transfer, or disclaim all right to the stock in question. Mr. liontra opposed the motion, on the ground that the assignees would incur some responsibility as con nected with the trusts. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the transfer to se made as prayed, the stock remaining subject to the saint trusts as before the bankruptcy. IN THE MATTER OP STEPHEN LAWRZNCIL Mr. MONTAGU, who had moved on a former day for a habeas corpus on behalf of this bankrupt, who had been committed by the Commissioners to Bristol Gaol for not giving satisfactos y answers in his examination before them, now moved that the bankrupt should be discharged, on the pound that the commitment did not contain the whole of- the questions and answer; pat to the bankrupt, andfio respect of which he bad been sent to prison. The return to the writ was then ordered to be read. but it was not forthcoming, and it was ascertains{ that the gaoler, who was in Court, had made no return to the writ. Mr. MONTAGU then contended that the prisoner was entitled to be - discharged for this default of return. The Loan CHANCELLOR thought that if no retorts was made to a writ by virtue of which a prisoner was brought up, he ought to be discharged. The gaoler proposed to make an immediate return; and the case was ordered to stand over a short time for this purpose. About an hour afterwards the case was mentioned again, a return having in the meantime been made. Mr. Rosa opposed the prisoner's discharge, and con tended that the 39th section of the Act, which gave to the Court a power of inspecting the whole of the weal. nation. enabled it to supply the deficiency which kg admitted existed in the warrant of commitment. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the pro iso to which the Counsel had referred was inserted for the benefit of the prisoner, and did not abrogate the previous part of thy clause, which required the commit ment to state the whole o f questions and answers.— He thought that as this had not been done here, the pri soner ought to be discharged. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Mar 19. TONKIN/ C. WRIGHT: Mr. MARRYAT she wed•cause against a rule obtained by the Attorney-General, for a new trial. The point was, Whether the following memorandum produced at the trial, on unstamped paper, was a receipt, anal as such required a stamp a—" Mr. Tomkins has left in my hands 2001." Mr. Marryat argued that it did not require a stamp, because it was not given" in payment, discharge, or satisfaction of any previous debt. It had been de cided, that on an 1. 0. U. no stamp was necessary, be cause it was a mere acknowledgment of a debt, and that a number of unstamped 1.0.U.'s had even sustained a commission of bankrupt. The A TTORSIXT-GittiltAL on the other side, contended that a stamp was necessary. It was an accountable receipt; and there was an exemption in the Stamp Act in favour of the Bank of England, and of bankers, which 'hewed that accountable receipts from all other persons required a stamp. Lord Kenyon used to say, the Revenue Acts were grants from the public, and IP be construed strictly against them. Lord Tastratusau;—This paper does not mem to us to require a stamp. I do n6t quite agree with Lord Kenyon, that the Revenue Acts are to be construed hardly against the public. The section of the Stamp Act requiring stamps upon receipts of money mentions any note, memorandum, or writing, for money paid, settled, balanced. or otherwise discharged and satisfied i but, I do not think that a receipt for money to be ac counted for does require a stamp. It was natural for the Bank of England, and for bankers, to be desirous to have all doubts removed, and to get an exemption ; but without it, I should not have judged them liable to a stamp on accountable receipts.—Rule for a new trial discharged. THE CITY OZCHESTZR CORPORATION. Mr. TAUNTON moved for a rule to thew cause why an iglormatioo, in the nature of a quo warrant°, should not at issued, calling upon Mr. Larkin to chew by what authority be held the office of Mayor of the city of Chester. He also made a similar application against the Sheriff, two of the Aldermen, and a Common Councilman of the city. It was not made adversely, but on account of the judgment of ouster, either already signed, or about to be signed, against Mr. Harrison, who held the office of Mayor of the city in 182.5, in con sequence of the trial of an information at Shrewsbury during the last Assizes. The adverse patty had made a similar application at the Court of Great Sessions, and a rule had been granted, although the Court expressed considera le doubts of their jurisdiction. Cause could not he .hewn on that rule until the Autumn Great Ses sions, and the information would not probably be filed till long after, so that the city would be kept in hot water for a considerable period, and toe,' it might even- tually be found that all the proceedings w ere corms non judice. Justice BAYLZY.—I believe recoveries are suf fered, and criminals are ti led in the county of the City of Chester, and not in Cheshire. Mr. TAusToa.—They ale, my L'rd. Lord Tzwranoash—Take a rule to shear cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Mar 19. After taking a few justifications of bail, the Court disposed of several rules for new trials, none of which embraced questions of any public interest. In one of the cases, however, the plexchngs had been extended to great length, upon which the Lord Chief Justice took occasion to remark, in severe terms, on the abuses which 'had arisen in this Court in the special pleadings. In the present instance, his Lordship observed, that what might have been clearly and plainly stated in the breadth of a man's hand, was rendered confused anil unintelligible by bcingspiead over twenty-four folios.— r This practice was most abominable, and lie should cer tainly take some decided step to chock an evil a hick ap peared to beans. rapiilly gaining ground, and which was frequently the cause of creating much confusion. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAT 19. THACICRAH V. THORNTON. This was an action upon a contract, in which-the de fendant, 4 1 in consideration of 101. and 7,5001. received by him from the plaintiff, bound himself to pay to the plaintiff 10,0001. or such proportion of that amount (say 10,0001.) as the firm of Hunter and Co. should pay to their general legal creditors."—The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 10,0001. The Cover was now moved on behalf of the defend ant, to set aside the verdict, or arrest the judgment, on the ground that although the firm of llunter and Co. had paid more than 10,0001. to their creditors, there waa a large portion of their debts for which they had only given security; and as the meaning of the contract, as they contended, was, that the defendant was to pay the plaintiff a sum which bore the same proportion to 10,0001. which that which the firm of Hunter and Co. paid their creditors bore to all their debts (and security not being payment), the plaintiff was not entitled to a verdict for 10,0001. To this it was replied, on the part of the plaintiff, that the obvious and only construction, which the words of the contract admitted was, that the defendant undertook to pay the plaintiff so much of the sum of 10,0001. as the firm of Hunter and Co. should pay of that amount to their creditors; and that it had no reference whateier to the general amount of their debts. The Court adopted the latter view of the case ; and therefore refused to disturb the verdict, or arte-t the j ads went. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A master•butcher to Fleet-market, of the sense of Wieser, ap peared before Mr. Alderman Assure, on Saturday, upon a 'om inous. to Mower the cemplaint of Alr.WaU, a respectable inhabitant of Fetter-lane.-11ae complainant stated that be was passing along the side of Fleet-market, on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by his Lady, when be met the defendant, coming in a contrary direc tion in a state of drunkenness, and as he passed them he committed an indecent assault ipso the Lady. The complainant remonstrated, bat to littkpurpooe, as the defendant immediately repeated his brutal conduct. Witness again complained, and received a severe blow from the defendant in return, upon which be seised h 1 ,nod ascertained who be was. Far. Weaver ' in reply, said he was very much intoxicated—se meek so, that positively he knew nothing of what had occurred nada he was informed the next morning by his friends. And when you was so informed, said the. Alderman, why did you not go to the Gentleman, and apologise for your shameful conduct ? Your plea of intoxication will serve you but little, I can assure you. Mr. 'fattier regretted that what the Alderman had suggested did not mom to him. lie was ready to apologise to thg Gentleman now, and was really sorry for his ill behaviour. Mr. Aldermap Assure—Well, Sir, It rests with the Gentleman whether he will have you committed for the assault, or accept your Icontrition, if accompanied by a contribution to some charity. The complainant said. he would be contented with the apology If Mr. Weaver would give sa. to the Mendicity Society in treed. The Alderman reined, that it wee eastsimary to send melt donations to the gebool of the parish or ward where the Wow is einursitted. The defendant demurred a little to the amount of the smart money demanded; but the Alderman hisdng. that he felt a Wrong Melina. thin to end bias to the Sessions, where he want probably be ars taxed to three menthe' bnpriesmnent, Mr. Weaver produced the sash, which the complainant relocated to be applied in the master recommended by the Magistrate. DOW.STRIEWT. Follolllr.—Saturday evening & respectable tooling man was placed at the bar, charged with forging the ligament of Mrs. Rs. chael Rumpling to a bill of exchange. After some evidence was gone into to prove that it was not Mrs. Renaming% handwriting, Sir Rtcaaaa Bruns said it was a charge of a IlaillitlefieliSallaWit, and the prisoner's liar would be most assuredly far/dted. Mrs. ltanuniefs said it was against her will to Fresco:ate. Sir Moulin ordered die miaow to be remanded dA Tuesday. when other witnesses were to attend. - - - Just as the prisoner was about to be removed from tbe bar, Mr. Edward Temple, principal desk to Messrs. Davenport, manufacturers of china and glass ware, in Fleet-street, stepped Con ward, and said that he bad upwards of thirty charges of etobeasb. meat against the prisoner, who had same time back been in their employ as town traveller. It was his duty to collect money, and render to Mot au account daily of what be received. Mr. Temple now produced two receipts in the priemaer's handwriting, one for the aunt of 61.75. Cd. received from a Mr. Ibbetson •' and another rot 0.125. for which he bad never accounted . They had many more charges against the prisoner, and lad bog been looking out for hint.—The prisoner said nothing in kin defence, and was remanded until Tuesday. H A TTON- G AR DEN.

The defendant said that her husband was a *awed hawker, and abs was to meet him at Hammersmith.

The prisoner was standing by his side, and whose hand prosecutor perceived takes from his pocket. Immediately the latter cried out for assistance, and seised the former by the collar.

Considerable interest has been recited in con sequee ei of a humus skeleton haling been dug up on T ues d ay, t hi Bth instant, by some labourers at ern , k in Cathe r i ne : street, near the main-road, Holloway. That it is the relics of a criminal there is no doubt, as the gibr me .i roes in which they were encased were nearly perfect.; an& had care been taken, the skeleton might have be en ' t a l i out complete, as it lay only two feet from the surface The spot of which Cathes ine-street is the site, wa s f or , miserly called " Ring-cross," and the oldest inhabitant% remember their ancestors relating the circuaistante of 1 gibbet being erected thereon. This, with other cif. cumstances hereafter it ate& clearly prove that the bones must have bin these upwards of a century. I By referring to documents from the archives of Benue, it appears that for the last 15 0 years only two malef actors have he ed at Holloway , of whom the f o ll ow i ng is a brief _ ha:Lu ll I; thalas : John Price (fotmetly the Jack Ketch) was coavicted in May VHS, of the murder of Elisabeth White, the wife of a watchman is; bloorfields, after attempting to commit a rape on her peruse; tie which ofence be was executed on the last day of the same month in Banhill.fields. It is recorded of the culprit, that he denied the commission of the offence until be arrived at the gallows, whoa he acknowledged shat he committed it while in a state of inebriety. It is said, that I or Ms occasion an immense crowd collected to see the late public executioner undergo himself the awful sentence of the law. Altei his body had bung the anal time, it was conveyed to Holloway, aao lied spans gibbet, preSiossiy erected for another malefactor. This eircutostance, compared with the &bowies statement, thews pretty clearly that the skeleton which has been for several days exhibited at the Coach and Horses, at Holloway, is that of the defunct executioner. The only other butane* upon recordnsok place .it wan before Price was created. It is ibis Johnson and Jar* Hoes den were renewed opposite the Old Bailey Sessions House, far He murder of ?4r. Sperling. a turnkey, on the 19th of Sept. 1719-:.

The Judge abos. dosed the charge of coining splint Hoodoo, and as she bad abet. ted Johnson, they were put to the bar on the charge of murder, and immediately convicted. Notwithstanding hundreds of persons Were witnesses Glebe diabolical act, the prisoners, even at the pwes of execution, denied the commission of the crime. The body sf the soak etotillict was hung in chains on a gibbet wetted onpurpwi at Holloway, midway between Islington and Highgate. PAR' ZIPS DISSOLVED. A. Erma and J.
