ATTIMPT ON 1111 LIVI OP THE CATHOLIC BISHOP OP CLoptig. _ It is with sincere regret we have to state, than an at. te mpt was made last evening on the life of that learned and pious Ecclesiastic, the Right Rev. Dr. Collins, Ro oan Catholic Coadjutor Bishop of the diocese of Cloyne and Ross. It seems that a man of the name of O'Brien (4 suspended Priest) callbd on the Doctor at his hobs* in Skibbereen, requesting the Doctor's interference with NJ, )p Coppinger to get him reinstated; during the preersation O'Brien drew a pistol, which he presented at Doctor Collins, and which most fortunately missed i r e; he then drew a second, which he also presented; s ier l, and wounded the Doetor in the left hand, and gi g atl7 grazed him on the breast ; after which be re armed the pistol that bad missed fire, but was fortunately' prevented by a servant who came into the room. The Police were on the alert and secured O'Brien, and safely lodged him in a house, which the populace surrounded, wishing to have immediate revenge, broke the windows, when the Police were obliged to fire in their defence, and we are sorry to state, that in addition to this wage imputed to O'Brien, one man was wounded in the breast and a woman in the leg.—Cork Advertiser. AYLtSBURY, JULY 24. A Committee appointed by the Select Vestry of Aylerbury, made a report on Monday last, from which i t A ppears that the parish-officers have lately held a correspondence with the Duke of Buckingham regard ing the plan suggested by his Grace for the employment of the poor; They offered to rent a piece of ground of bis Grace, for the purpose of employing those labourers sot otherwise occupied, in spade husbandry. The an swer to the application was polite, but in effect, that if his Grace allotted any other land for the use of the poor, it would be under the inspection of his Steward, end for such purposes as he should direct. The plan recommended by his Grace. • at the Quarter Sessions, it •ill be recollected, was, that the parish-officers should let toeach poor man such a quantity of land - as would with proper management produce a sufficiency of corn, vegetables, &c. for the consomptipn of himself and his .and leave a surplus for sale to enable him to pay bis rent. DR. JAMES MILLAR. Dr. JAMBS MILLAR, who died lately at Edinburgh, b-re too considerable a part in the science and literature of his day not to merit ampler notice than fills to the lot of ordinary men. His education was obtained chiefly at the University of Glasgow, where he signalized him self by the extent and accuracy of his acquaintance with the Classics, and his taste for the varied departments of natural history. Removing thence to Edinburgh, where he took the'degree of M.D. he prosecuted dome of the physical sciences with an ardour and a succeu which rendered him at once conspicuous and highly useful.— As such, he was, with much propriety, chosen to super intend a new editibn of that well known work, the En rydeptedia Brilannica, to the improvement and interests of which he devoted a large portion of his life, and in the general management of which he must be allowed to have evinced much industry, information, and sound judgment. About the same period, and for some time after, he contributed largely to several of the periodical journals, both of London and Edinburgh, taking usually such subjects for his communications as harmonized with his favourite studies, but occasionally amusing himself with articles of a light or playful nature, to which his style of writing, distinguished by ease, per spicuity, and neatness, was equally well adapted. Of another dictionary of the arta and sciences, namely the Escrlopedia Edinensis, smaller in size, and of a more popular character, which appeared subsequently, he was the original planner aaci editor. Some of the nays or systematic treat me k which he furnished to it, have been published separay, and acquired favour, more especially that on chemistry, to the advancement of which, both as a lectumg and a writer, he zee lossly directed his highly respectable talents. During these and various other labosta k he necessarily associated largely with literary men. tea many of ashram he made himself of service, by frienalle assistance, and frankly offered suggestions, caleule to- promote their indi• Waal views in the republic of lessess,as well as its general *clime; and by all, of wlsoma s k is believed, he was es teemed equally foe his gendememily manners, and the amount and value of his attaieents, and the freedom and independence of sentiment 'mid spirit, with which, in the midst of many and scrim* mials and difficulties, he maintained the naivety of the philosophical cha racter. It was a peculiarity in hlm, which his friends, while they admired it, Mould smelly fail to deplore— that, in the generosity of his heart tamards others, and while enthusiastically orctipied in intellectual pursuits, he was far less concerned as to his personal advan tage than worldly prudence would have required; and.

Bsionrov, JULY 254—The suspended Grand Match at Cricket recommenced thi, morning, with All England UM runs in ad —a good round number to be overtaken by Sussex, who had al ready lost three wickets. The play was begun by the breams, J. and W. Broadbridge; but the former, on the second ball, which 'came too wide for him to reach, threw his bat accidentally from Ms band, and unfortunately striking the ball up, was caught out by Mr. Budd. In neither innings, therefore, did one of the best batters on the Sussex side obtain a single run. To make matters still worse, W. Broadbridge, by an unlucky slip, after a few runs, put himself out by crippling his own wicket,—(Three to one in favour of All England). !From this time Sussex played cautiously and effectively, and continued to diminish the odds against them until the dinner hour, three o'clock, at which period seven wickets had gene down, and they were within thirty-four runs of tying their adversaries. Even betting was now the order of the moment ; with the ground quite as thronged with spectators as on the preceding days, and every eye sparkling with the interest excited. After dinner, Dale and Thwaites went out for but few runs, and the odds instantly changed to three to one in favour of All England, who ultimately were victors, after the most interesting match that ever was played on this ground.

Yesterday, the Silver Cup given by the friends of Mr. Swain*, of the Red House, Batteries, was sailed for by pleasure yachts of unlimited tonnage. About eleven vessels were entered, but , only five started, viz.—Rob Roy, Lady Louisa, Fdrtitude, Don Gio- venni, and Swift. The distance sailed was from the Red House, I down, round a boat at Vauxhill Bridge ; up, round a boat at Bat tersea Bridge, again to Vie:hall and Battersea Bridges, and down to the Real House. The vessel, started at half-past three o'clock with a fine southwesterly breeze, the Lady Louisa taking the lead, and, after some admirable sailing.the Match was decided as fellows : Lady Louise • ..... 15 tons .. Rob Roy , • 16 tons... .. ..... 2 • The other vessels did not sail the distance, which was about eleven miles, and was .performed in fine style In one hour and five minutes by the winner, half of which was against tide.

IN THE MATTER 07 HARSH AND Cp. DAN' EX Pak?' ;mous AND AttOntas. This •case, which had been ordered by the Lord Cbaneellor to come on thif•morning, was mentioned to the Court. Mr. HEALD stated, that a pdtition.had been ptesented to the Court on behalf of Mr. liltmt, for permission to prove, under the joint commission against Marsh, Fauntleroy, and Co. for a debt of mooqi. When that petition came on to be heard, an issue was directed by Lord Eldon, to try the question—whether at end be ' fore the date and suing forth of the commissions, joint as well as separate, which had been issued in these matters against Henry Fauntleroy, the bankrupts wart actually indebted to the petitioner in theitun which be claimed to be allowed to prove? On the trial evidence was adduced to shew. that Fauntleroy was appointed joint trustee with Messrs. Dehagan and Stone, by the will of Mr. Baistow, and that they, by means of such will, became possessed of a sum of 17,6011. Navy 5 per Cent. Annuities, which was transferred into their names in the Bank of England books. This sum Fauntleroy got into his own hands by means of a frau dulent power of attorney, to which he signed his hero name, and forged those of his co-trustees. This was effected by two separate transfers of 7,0151. and 8,9004 cash, which were paid into the house of Martin & Stone, then Marsh and Co.'s agents. In Mr. Fauntleroy's desk a memorandum was found to the following effect:— " 26th May, 1819.-15,0001. odd, Navy 5 s.-7.1051. paid to Martin and Co. on the 26th, and on the nth 8,9001 to make up the account to raise 16,0001. of Henry Fauntieroy, Dehagan, and Stone." This me morandum was produced on the trial, and was found to be in the handwriting of Mr. Graham. The Jury found a verdict for the present Petitioners for the full amount of 16,0001. A case was reserved which was afterwards specially argued, and - the verdict of the Jury confirmed, The Counsel now moved for a new trial, on the ground that Lord Tenterden, who tried the cause, had misdirected the Jury, and that the verdict was not sustained by the evidence. The Lord Chief Joft i ice directed the Jury to take the power of attorney as a valid instrument, and to find acctirdingly. The assignees relied on three distinct grounds of defence:— first, that no debt could be founded on the felony; se condly, that the Petitioners bad sustained no injury, because the power of attorney being a forgery, they could call on the Rank to replace the stock ; and thirdly, that the payment to Fauntleroy discharged the other bankrupts. Mr. MONTAGU was heard on the same side, and con tended, that as there was no proof that the money, the subject of this inquiry, had been applied to the use of the firm, they ought not to be fixed with it. In this case the mosey had been received and disposed of by Mr. Fauntleroy to his own pyivate purposes, and it was equally hard and unjust that the creditors of his partners should be called' on to pay this amount. They might have a right to prove under Fauntleroy's commission, but their right could not be extended further. Mr. Sergeant Boseicturr, with whom was Mr. PHIL. LIMORE; declined to argue a case, the law and the facts of which appeared to bun so clear. The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly of opinion that no new trial ought to be allowed. The facts o the case appeared to be, that certain trustees were enti tled to stock in the Bank of England. By means of a forged power of attorney, this stock was sold out and paid into the hands of Martin and Co. who were the agents of Marsh and Co. In law as well as in equity, this was a payment into the hands of Marsh and Co. This money was drawn out by Mr. Fauntleroy; and then the question arose in what character did he draw it out? If he did so as a member of the firm of Marsh and, Co. then unquestionably they were liable ; if as a trustee, he did it wrongfully, but then be paid it into the hands of their agents. The money must, therefore, be considered as remaining in the hands of Marsh and Co. at the time of the banlcruptcy, and therefore the trustees bad a right to claim it of them. If these facts were correctly stated, and as it appeared to him he had stated them correctly, thee was no pretence for a new trial, and he therefore refused the motion. It is said that the Directors of the Bank of England agreed to replace so much of the stock as the trustees should eventually lose, but not until they had pursued the claim which the Bank birectors were advised the trustees bad on the estate of Marsh and CO. GIBBON V. TOWNLET. The Souctroa-GENERAL moved for a new trial of the issue in this case, the question in which was, at to the plaintiffs title as heir-at-law, ex parte materna, of one Matthew Gibbon. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what was the value of the property ? Mr. HEALD believed it was abolt 1301. a year, The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that a matter of such small value should have been so much litigated. It had already been tried four times, and he wondered that any of the property was left, after the expenses which must have been incurred about it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, two verdicts had been given in favour of his clients. Mr. HEALD said that he was incompetent to argue this case, not having been present at the trial of the issue. He was to have had the assistance of Mr. Pol. loik ; and if Gentlemen of the Common-law Bar could not'attend, he must give up such cases as required their! assistance. It was then agreed that the Solicitor-General and the Counsel with him should be heard, and the farther hearing of the case was postponed. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jaw ea. RESPONSIBILITY OF SHIP•OWNERS.—..TEED V. wour AND OTHERS. This was an application for an injunction to stay pro., ceedings under an action at jaw which had been brought against the plaintiff, a shipowner, by certain persons, the defendants, who had sustained losses from shipping their goods on board of one of the plaintiff's vessels. From the statement of Mr. BICRERSTETH, it appeared that the defendants hid shipped a quantity of goods from a port in' Portugal, on board of a vessel belonging to the plaintiff, called the Pomona. The vessel was driven by stress of weather into Gibraltar, where it was ascertained that considerable damage had been done to the cargo ; and the defendants, therefoe, brought an action against the plaintiff, to recover the full amount of the loss which they had sustained. Under these cir cumstances, the plaintiff now came before the Court for•an injunction to stay the action, andfor permission to pay a :urn of money into Court. This application was iounded upon an Act which jup . i been passed in the 53J year of the reign of his late Mgksti, for the ezpress . purpose 'of limiting the liability of ship-owhers. lit that Act it wit provided, that in cases of this kind; *bete -the damage accrued not from the ant of ibd owner, but from the misconduct or negligence of his sesialitt the comer -was to be permitted, in the event of any action at law being commenced against him by those who had ventures on board, tit sellehe vessel with the damaged terse; and after having made a fair esti mate of the proportion due to each claimant, to file a bill in a Court of Equity, and obtain leave to pay the proportion due to the claimants into Court. The plaintiff, his client, had strictly complied with these provisions: he had sold the vessel and cargo, and nose upcm paying the produce into Court, prayed that the action at law might be stayed. lb. Vice-Cuaocasboa having intimated his entire (durance of the existence of inch an Acr, and the Learned Counsel having at his request read at length she clause on which the application was founded. his Honour observed, the terms of the Act were so clear, that the injunction must go, as a matter of course, with permission to pay the money into Court. He must say; however, that he was certainly not before aware of the existence of any such Act as that which formed the ground of this application. It was somewhat tetra: ordinary, that the most clamorous of all those whb railed against Courts of Equity were what. are called mercantile men; and yet these very persons contrived; through the meims of Perlianient, every year to mend the power of the interference of such Cants with the management of their affairs. With respect to this Act; he could only say, that it gave an entirely new jails diction to the Court—Motioh granted. B M herk e r . HORN ; into tsaidhe pleadings thatAliit 6 in z i n th t i h s L e c z a t v c se l : i , o after t looking law pendingds or d closely een these parties, he foundei that they embraced the hole of the transactions between the lunatic and Mr. • vi; and as it was competent to the plaintiff to plead a fall legal defence, he did not feel himself war ranted in pressing for the interference Of that Court, in order to restrain the proceedings upon equitable grounds. At the same time, however, in withdrawing his mcitibn for an injunction in the present stage of the case, he reserved to himself the right of coining to that Court hereafter, if it should appear that then, was any thing omitted at the trial which Would pert& thereat question from coming before a Juty. The Vices-Cnallom.ton said, that upon reflection, he had become strengthened in the opinion which be en tertained yesterday, vie. that safficient grbudds fbr his interference had not been made out. If, however,any mw carriage occurred at the trial, from a defect in the tat. cord, he should be willing to hear the partici; agaih. With respect to the costs ih this application, he saw no reason for violating the common rule or the Court, or . why they should not be made costs in the cause. When ever the Court discharged an application of this nattiest with costs, it was for the purpose of Marking that in the opinion of the Court the application was a vexatioda one. There was no feature in the present ease that could warrant the supposition of vexation. He was sure that' Mr. Levi could very well afford to pay the costs out of the profits, of do inconsiderable nature, which he must have made in hit dealings with the tomtit. BASSET AND OTHENS v. OAMPION. This toe, which has been so frequently before the public that it will be unnecessary to detail the fasts again, obw came before the Vice Cllsotatt.ok under the following circumstabces t . The late Vice Chancellor has directed an issue to be tried in the Court of Common Pleas, and a Motion was now made before the present Vice Chancellor fbr a new. trial. ' • Mr. Sergeant •TADDY, Mr. MANI, Mr. PARN. and Mr. Evarra, for the defendants, were heard in support of the motion, which they founded upon the imperfee. tion of the late trial, and the misdirection of the Learned Chief Justice of the CoMmon Pleas. . Mr. SHADWILL and Mr.Seasca opposed the motion ; contending that the verdict of the Jury at the late trial bad deter - mined the question sought by the issue, and that the ends of justice would not be fotwatded by 'a new appeal to a Court of Law. The.Vma CHANCELLOR said, it clearly appeared to hint that the trial in the Court of Common Pleas was a very imperfect one; but he acquitted both that Court and his predecessor from any blame on the subject.. It was a matter of regret that the terms of the issue were not more circumstantial t If they had been, the verdict would have been much more sat :factory. He should therefore send the issue again to trial; and he hoped that the terms of it would be so framed as to enablethe Jury in sr Court of Law to give a complete answer to it. Mr. Sergeant TANDY suggested, that an action of trover Would perhaps be the best Mode of proceeding. It was finally agreed that the Counsel should take the Matter into consideratios among themselves, and fix upon the best mode of framing the issues hen they had agreed upon the terms of the issue, the case was to be Mentioned to the Court again. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Ju Lt 26. DANDRIDGE V. CORDKN. The plaintiff, who is a perfumer and hairdresser in Wood-street, Cheapside, sought by this action to recover from the defendant the slim of 171. 10s. the amount of a bill of exchange, drawn by a stock-broker, named Tucker, on the 13th of October„ MS, payable at six weeks after date, accepted by the defendant, and en• dorsed by the drawer to the plaintiff. The drawer proved that the acceptance was In the handwri ing of the plaintiff; that the endorsemeat was in his (Tucker's) handwriting; and that the plaintif f had given him the full value of the bill. Cross-examined by Mr. GURSZY—In the Course of last autumn the plaintiff and the defendant were nen cerned in" time-bargains" upon the Stock Exchange; but the bill was not given to the plaintiff in payment of any diffetecce upon "time-bargains." The defendant accepted the bill for valuable consideration; but the nature of that consideration he (witness) declined an sweting, because he was apprehensive that his answer might subject him to a qui tarn action. He believed that his clerk was present when the plaintiff gave him (witness) the money for the.bill, but he was not positive as to that fact. When the bill was dishonoured by the defendant, the plaintiff did not apply to witness for payment. • Frederick Clarke, the clerk of Tucker, swore that he was present when the plaintiff gave to his employer the sum of 171. ICh. for the bill, and took nothing for discounts—that bis employer knew he was present whew the transaction took place, and that he asked him (wit ness) to come into Court to state what he knew of the transaction. Mr. Gtiamat addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contended, that the refusal of Tucker to state the nature of the consideration given to the d f ndant for the bill, and his admission that, at the time the bill was .1' 11 , i
