LITERARY DISCOVERY. A singular literary discovery has lately been made in the library of a member of the Wynne family, in the entire maau cript copy of one of Fletcher's most popular plays, The Humorous I.;eutenent. We call it " the entire manuscript copy," because it shows beyond dispute. that the printed editions, from that of 1647 downwards, ue grievously incomplete, emitting many important .end curious passages. The manuscript is dated 1625, and it was made by. Ralph Crane (probably some relative to Ben Jouson's friend, Francis Crane,) and presented to Sir Eepelm Dishy, who, it is well known, had a most remarkable collection of books, some of which are deposited at Oxford. to this MS. it is called by the rifle of Demetrius and Enanthe, which it originally bore', the name being, perhaps, afterwards changed, en account of the prominence of a principal character in the hands f a particular actor. To show the nature of the omissions in the printed copies, we will quote two passages in the MS. from a scene in the first act, where the Am bassadors from Seleucus, Lysimachus, and Ptolemy, enter. One of them says— . " We therefore, As yet the Ministers of peace anifriendship, As yet our masters' swords and angers sleeping, MI former injuries forgot and buried, As yet to stop that swelling tide of blood, Oh ! mighty Sir, that, when it comes, like tempests Broke from the raging North, beat all before 'em— We yet crave restitution of those lands, Those cities sack'd, those prisoners, and that prey The soldiers, by your wiU, stand masters of," &e. What falls from another of the Ambassadors is still better, the following lines being only part of what are wholly left out in all the editions The wars are doubtful, And on our horsemen's staves death looks as grimly. • Who shall say whether good fortune may not yet bring to light, As on your keen-edged swords, our darts sure pointed, And from our sinewy bows we can raise showers Of bloody shafts shall hide the face of heaven, And cast is deep eclipses o'er the day, At terrible as yours. Oar strengths are equal, Our hopes as high and wanton • even our men The same in labours-and in su fferance ; Hunger they dare contemn as well as yours, And where they find no meat, feed on their angers; March on the edge of danger : rest and sleep, The SOEI3 of soft and tender bodies, they Shake off as well as yours. And w heni tir'd nature Locks up their spirits, yet, like storms far off, &en in their rest, they rain a warlike murmur." Who shall say whether good fortune may not yet being to light the manuscripts of some of Shakspeare's plays, proving that they have been published with. equal inPelleettaa ? The Hamlet of 1603, in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire, shows what enormous absurdities were committed by transcribers of showhand notes, taken at the play-house, in order to forestal the sale by the real owners of the copy-right.- • . THE MARQUIS OF STAFFORD'S RENTS. The Marquis of Stafford, who, in 1820, regulated the rents of his English estates according to the avenge price of wheat, still adheres to that system. thus meeting, as nearly as possible, the exigencies of the times and the necessities. of his tenants. — Under this atrangement, the deductioni received by his tenants amounted in 1821 to 32 per cent - 1825 to 16 per cent. • 1822 t 0 ,46 ditto 1826 to 28 ditto 1825 to SS ditto 1827 to 51 ditto 1824 to 22 ditto 1828 to 26 ditto His Lordship has, in • like manner, regulated the rents of his Scotch estates by the average price of wool, wedders, and ewes, by which' his tenants in the North have *received the following abalte menti—in 1821 to 18 per cent. 1825 10 27 per cent. 1822 to 36 ditto 1826 to 18i ditto 1823 to 40 ditto 1627 to 29j ditto 1524 to 511 ditto 1828 to 51 ditto It is hoped that his Lordship has reaped•the fruit of this conduct, by keeping together the capital of his tenantry, and by preserving the land in condition. Ope important fact appears to be established by the result of the above abatements, taking them on the general average of the eight yeari—namely, that The value of all agricul tural produce hes suffered the same amount of depreciation, shew log that it milk have been affected by some one general cause ; and that no .piinlculsr branch of .agricultural produce has suffere d by any circumstance applicable to itself alone.

THE DON ERAI LE CON S PIRATOKS.—Another respite, amounting in point of fact to a reprieve, has been re ceived at Cork for the three men under senten l e of death for the conspiracy to murder Messrs. Bonk Low, and Creagh. We have so often and so unequivocally ex pressed our opinion upon the extraordinary proceedings of the Government with respect to these men, as well as to the trials had at Cork, that we deem it unnecessary to repeat either. Of the guilt of the persons convicted no one living entertains the least doubt, and we copy the fol lowing from a local paper possessing the best informa tion upon the subject. Our Southern Cotemporary, The Cork Constitution, is quite correct, as, indeed, it gene rally is, in the sentiment expressed in its concluding remark upon this extraordinary procedure : F as Resorts Fos ens Doersama Cossnevross.nrOn. last night a further respite arrived in town for Shine, Roche, and Magrath, who were convicted at the late Special Commisaion for the Conspiracy at Doneraile. The period at which the ceecution is fixed is nominanly for the tOth of April, the day to which Leary bad been previously respited, but the extension of the time amounts to a full reprieve. While these unfortunate men were under sen tence, and their lives were in the scale , we abstain ed from offering a single observation that could la the most remote degree appertain to the prejudice of their case, or tend to interfere with the dictates of mercy. Put see arenow, relieved from the silence we bad im posed on ourselves, and we have no hesitation in saying, that we believe each and every of the foot men who have been respited guilty to the fullest possible extent of the conspiracy to murder the magistrates named in the indictment on which they had been con victed.—Cock Cinstitution of Tuesday. Mr. Creagh, one of the respectable gentlemen marked out for slaughter by the diabolical conspirators of the County of Cork, has addressed the following letter to the Constitution. In our last we stated that there was no foundation for the report circulated—and which we are bound to add, was generally prevalent, that this gentle man and Mr. Low had resigned their Commissions of the Peace, and written a strong representation to Govern ment upon the subject of the late trials : To the Editor of the Cork Constitution. " Doneraile, November ite, 182. • • " Sit,—You were perfectly safe in stating, that the line of con duct pursued by me was in accordance with my friend and brother magistrate, Mr. Low.

The pack seemed to be finely trained, and many •of theta showed excellent octet ; but the nature of the country through which termed bent his way gave him frequent opportunities to retard the progress of his pursuers. There was a figs turn out of the gentleman sod yeomen of the district, many of them well mounted, besides several gentlemen from the sister kingdom, who had accompanied th e pack. But the deepness and roughness of .the ground over u bids they bad to ride, tried boat the mettle of the boner end the skill of the riders, and souse excellent somersen were made, but dusts with such science, that no hurtful omen followed them ; and though we admire the amusement of fa hunting as a manly exercise, yet to see gentlemen exposing themselves to imminent danger kr sake of a fox's tail, seems the height of madness.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. go. • • • nocummr,,—.oLonn a Orem. The LORD Cuancessam, is this appeal from the Vice-Chan cellor, affirmed his Honour's judgment. The simple question was, whether the plaintiff was or was not entitled to prove a debt under the joint commission issued against the firm of',O'Nell and Martin? . The hots were these had entered into a contract with &Ming, the owner of a vessel, by which the latter undertook that 'his vessel should proceed from Newfoundland to Charleston, and return to Limerick to deliver a cargo. The freight was to be paid half in money and the other moiety by a good bill drawn in Lon don, at four month's date. Golding performed his part of the contract, and half the freight in money was paid. A bill was then drawn, and remitted to Golding who sent it to the house of O'Neil and 51artin, under the firm of O'Neil and Co. It was left for acceptance in the usual course, and after remaining there for several hours, it was delivered by the clerk of the house accepted. The firm ultimately failed before the bill became due, and the question was, whether it could be proved under the joint commis sion ? Golding knew that it was a several and not a joint contract at the time he entered into it, and knew that the firm was not liable. The only circumstance in the case which raised any ques tion, was that of the bill being left for acceptance, and accepted in the way he had mentioned. Upon coutideradon, however, he did not think that fact varied the case. It was an acceptance of O'Neil, without the authority of Martin, and therefore Martin's estate ought not to be made liable for the payment of the debt. The Commissioners did right. therefore, in rejecting tbe proof. He should con fi rm the order of the Vice-Chancellor, by which the de cision of the Com Missioners was supported. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 28. JOHNSON V. MIT. His Honoua gave Judgment this morning on the question in this cause. A testator had bequeathed his property in the English Funds to certain individuals, and it was contended that Exchequer Bills and other public securities were included is that denomina tion. In his Honour's opinion, according to the plain English acceptation of the words, the testator must be held to mean only that part of his property which was invested in Consols, and be de creed accordingly the costs to be paid out of the testator's estate. • INJUNCTION.CLZWE V. MAMIE& Mr. KNIGHT, on the part of the Hon. John Crewe, an infant, moved for an injunction to restrain the defendants Mr. and Mrs Cunliffe, from selling, disposing of, or alienat ing certain articles of plate, pictures, and furniture, which had been devised by the late Lord Crewe as heir-looms to pass with the estate and mansion of Crewe Hall. The Cunliffes were executors of the will of the late Lord Crewe,and be believed that there were disputes between them and the present Lord Crewe, the father of. the plaintiff. He believed also that the present Lo rd Crewe con tested the will of his father. With these disputes, or contests, the Court had now nothing to do. These heir-looms were left for the use of Lord Crewe for life, and afterwards for the use of his son. the present iqfant plaintiff. The defendants threatened to sell them, and he now prayed an injunction to restrain that sale. Mr. Seance, for the defendants, said, as be wasinstructed, these heir-looms were given to the present Lord Crewe on the express condition that he was not to contest the terms of the will. Lord Crewe, however, had commenced proceedings to set it aside, and those persona whose interests :night be injured by the proceedings of Lord Crewe were now desirous of selling thee, articles in con sequence of that refusal: The late Lord Crewe possessed a con siderable number of advowsons • these be bad disposed of for the benefit of certain persons named in his will, and it was in the event of the present Lord's refusing to accede to and contesting this be• quest, that he was to be deprived of the benefit of the heir-looms, and that other parties were to receive the advantage. Now, Lord Crewe had determined to contest the will, and therefore t he exe cutors, who were not at all interested, proposed to sell the property. Mr. HATITS said he had read the will with some attention, and he did not recollect any passage containing the alternative to which Mr. Spence alluded, although he admitted there might be such a passage. Mr. Seems was instructed to say theta was such a clause. The Vica-Cnaunoccoa thought that the injunction must be granted. Supposing Lord Crewe determined to contest the will, the property must remain as it was until the result of that question be known ; and even then there was at remainder over to the Plaintiff, which Lord Crewe's acts could not affect. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 28. SZ•PARYS SIIRILI/I'S orricas. Mr. Kat.tor moved for a rule to show cause why an Attorney of this Court, whose name for the present need not be mentioned, should Dot pay to the applicant, a Sheriffs officer, a sum of money which he had lost through the fault of the Attorney. The officer bad a warrant to arrest a perion of the name of Stirling. The officer was ready to arrest, when the Attorney in question, _who appeared coact for Stirling, observed to him that he need not arrest, as be would give bail. This was five - days before the writ • was returnable. The Attorney named the sureties, and requested the dicer to lend him his warrant for a short time, to enable him to prepare the bail-bond. .The officer, though very reluctantly, 'left his warrant with the Attorney while be went about other bu siness. Having finished that business, he called it the Attor ney's office for his warrant, and was informed that the Attor ney was not at home. In a day or two after he peremptorily insisted on having his warrant back again, but the Attorney left word that be would not return it, and both he and Stirling kept out of the way till after the writ was returnable. An action was then brought against the Sheriff for not arresting, to which thete was no defence • and the officer, under his indemnity to the Sheriff, was compelled to pay the money, and. besides lost the Sheriffs business, and being a poor man, was almost ruined by this conduct of the Attorney. Under these drcumstances, be hoped •the Court would interfere in a summary way, and compel • the Attorney to make the officer some compensation.• Mr. Justice Lern.araxe—Had the Attorney. received any of the ? money Mr. KELLY—That did not appear. Mr. Justice Larcsnacx—How, then, could the Court interfere in this summary manner? On that principle this Court would be oiled on to interfere summarily in all cases against attorneys, whether civil or criminal. If you have lost the money through his misconduct, you may bring an action against him. Mr. Keszy—lt is an extremely hard case on this poor man. Mr. Justice Bar:me—Perhaps so; but can we, for that reason, interfere in this summary way It appears in the statement that they are both is peel debit% for the officer left the warrant with the attorney, which he ought not to have done.—Rule refused. =HINSON V. VALET. Mr. Justice &Tarr announced, that the Judges bad consulted Mr. Justice Boaacruan, before whom the action was tried. It was an action on a bill of eichange for .2300. accepted by John Wllbs, for the Cornwall ann Devon Mining Company, against the defen dant, a shareholder. The verdict was for the plaintiff but this Court, on argument, was of opinion either that a nonsuit should be entered, or a new trial granted ; and on consulting with Mr. Justice Busammat, they were now of opinion that a nonsuit ought to be entered.—Rule anointe for the nonsuit. GAISSVOSD V. MAME/ILL. • Mr. Culver bad obtained a role to show cause why the defen. dant should not be discharged out of the custody in which be was held in execution,on the ground that the plaintiff bad failed in the regular payment of his weekly allowance tinder the Lords' .Act. Mr. Tsunami showed cause against the rule. This was a re newed application, for the same application bad beat made to Lord Tenterden, by whom it bad been rejected. The whole question which their Lordships had to decide upon in this case was, whe ther a shilling paid on the 51st of August by a clerk l o ) f e as o raintiff to Jones, a turnkey of Wititecrose4treet prison , for of the defendant, was a good or a bad one? Mr. Justice BATLIT....It was the rule of this Court that the turnkey was the agent for the defendant in receiving the money ; and that, when the turnkey accepted, the plaintiff had done all that was incumbent on hint. 'To he sure, if a plaintiff or his servant were to place the money in the turnkey's hand, and then run away immediately, without giving the turnkey time to examine it, that would alter the case. That was not the fact here; and after all it was doubtful whether the shilling Was not a good one. Mr. Justice LSITLIDALZ and Mr. Justice Peens concurred with Mr. Justice Eimer; who said that the rule ought to be refused with cams : and the plaintiff might get them as he best could.— Rule discharged with costs.—Michaelmas Term ended.
