I and a division took Place--i'or the clause, Against it, 6. Mr. A. ROBINSON brought tip a Clause to abo lish the present method of deciding questions in the Court of Directors: When there is an equality, the Treasurer's lot determines the point, and this even in the most important cases, even of peace and war. He proposed that no question should be decided, ei cept by a majority of votes, and that ah equality should operate to the rejection of a measure. Lord CASTLERtAG'H expressed his approba tion of the clause, s.tying it was a disgrace to a deli berative assembly to deterinine its questions by lot or chance. The clause Was then agreed tn. Mr. R. SMITH introduced a clause for the Dime !ors to lay annia!llf before Parliament a Cope of their Government Regulations in India. The House continued to make amendments to the Bill for a very considerable length of time, after %%Melt the Report was agreed to, and on the question that the Bill be read a third time to-morrow— Mr. R. SMITH oppose-d it, on the ground that it would be impossible for Members to have it in their power to consider the amendments, so numerous as they were, in so short a time. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the amendments, though numerous, were of that verbal nature, that every one might very won understand them. Mr. P. MOORE thought the conduct of the Noble Lord in now preasing this Bill so precipitately through the House, was contrary to the pledge he had given on a former night, that the Court of Pro. prietors should have time allowed to consider whether they would accept the Bill or not. The Noble Lord knew well that a special Court of Proprietors was to meet to-morrow, to give their opinion on the Bill with the amendments made in the Committee. There bad on this evening been an amazing number of utnendments made on the report, in addition to those made in the Committee. It would, therefore, be it'll possible the Court of Proprietors could have an op portunitY of forming any opinion on those. He trusted, therefore, the Noble Lord would not press the third reading very precipitate a manner, which would ha a direct dereliction of his promise given on a former night. The question was then put by the SPEAKER, and the Bill ord-red to be read a third rime to-mo.ro ifolwn engrossed. Tic other Oi ders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House Adjourned.

Lieutenant HENRY FurzcLutENce, second son of the Duke CLARENCE, broke his right arm two days before the battle of Vittoria ; notwithstanding this accident he could not be restrained from taking post in his troop. In the cGurse of the action, a French dragoon had raised his sabre to cut him down, which, however, was heroically prevented, by the gallant youth drt hig a pistol from his bolster with his left hand, and shooting his adversary instantly through the body.

Fourth Division of the British Army of Portngal, of whom honourable mention is made by Field• Marshal WELLINOTON in his late dis patches, is blather to the Captain of the SteiNsov. Captain LAwieNcE, of the American frigate Che sapeake, was it is said, a native of Bri<tol, and edu. caled at Colston's Charity School, in that city. He had a younger brother, and both were for some time in the Navy ; but, Leing disappointed in their hopes of promotion, they went to America, whete they shortly after obtained the command of gun-boats, from which Captain LAwitexer was transferred to the Hornet, and afterwards to the Chesapeake. Capt:1;11 CARDEN, late of the MACEDONIAN, his Of (leers, and crew, have been honourably acquitted of the Ids of that ship, in being compelled to strike their colours to the American frigate United States, after a gallant action. The partial victories of the American ships at the commencement of hostilities over the British frigates, are said to be attributable, in a great measure, to an improvement in their shot. The cartridge (instead of bag made tip in canvas:) is ascevained to have been cased with lead. This enables them, it seems, to load with greater dispatch, and to fire with addi. tional effect—hence the destructive havock of their broadsides. The Commissioners of the Admiralty ate nose in full possession of all the circumstances, which are stated to have been communieated by a Lieutenant of our Navy.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY,I2. NEAGLE V. LUCAS AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass, for breaking opal the plaintiff's cellar and taking away ten hints of beer, to which the defendants pleaded, that Messrs. Meux and Co. were entitled to the beer, and because the plaintiff would not give it up, they broke open the cellar-door to take tt away ; and thirdly, that they had leave and licence from the plaintiff. The facts of the case were, that the plaintiff lived in a pubV:-house in Rosemary-lane, belonging to hieus and Co. ; and being attested, he went to the King'i Bench prison. The two defendants, who teere in the employ of Meux and Co. went to him under pretence Of taking the house, and wished him to sign an ord..' for them to take possession cf the beer. He said, . w.luld not then, but that it should be regularly ap. praised by an appraiser. Upon which Lucas said, they would take it without any order; and..accord. ingly the drays came that s..ree day, and forcibly took the beer out of the cellar. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, this was quite tinjucti. fi 'Me conduct ; they could n't thus violently possess{ themselves of the beer, even if they had A title to it but much less could Oley thus take back good. which thLy 11.1.1 sold, even though they were not paid fur. Verdict for plaintiff—Daniages A:75. Not::its THORNTON. This was an action brought on an spreetnent tot the sale of an estate, to re-oiver the balance of the pmehase-money. The agtLernent being produced, Mr. BARROW. for the &tend:int, objected that the agreement, which was on a 16s. stamp, contained mere than 1080 words, the number ai!owed by 11:s Act of Parliament. Lord ELLENIIMMUCI4 declared, that since an jection of that kind bid been previously madi., should require inimedi ,te proof th.it the eth rem Lb,l contain more than 10Sii words. The fact being proved, his Lordship directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited ; at the same time sAying, that the plaintiff might get the agreement properly stamped and bring a fresh action. WATKINS V. BART.:Ii• This was an action of trover, recoiret the *aloe of a chaise sent by plaintiff to a cnach-maker of the name of Adamsoi - i to repair, which defendant seize under a distress against Adamson iur tent.

Is. at whicts, price he offered it to Adatnson, who refused it. Ho explained that he meant by condemnation, appraise: ment. The chaise was in pieces, and he thought that the sum of 47. Is. at which it was sold, its value. Mr. PARK, for defendant, mentioned the case uf Gorton v. Falkncr, 4 Term Rep. 5 1 35. Lord ELLENBOROUOIL said, he thought that esse rightly decided ; but it was a different case—this was a case cif confidence. fie told the Jury the plaintiff was entitled to recover, and it was for them to sat what was the value of the chaise. There ceiainiy were signs of condemnation in the case, when the ma terials of a chaise were sold for £7. Is. The Jury found for the plaintitf—Damages £35.
