FESTIVITIES OF " MERIIIE ENGLAND." From tie Mirror. The following account of regal and civic festivities, in which hospitality and charity were combined, I have co pied from Stow, in his " Survay of London," fourth edition, 1618, and send them for the entertainment of your numerous readers. Our beloved sovereign "in these piping times of peace," seems disposed to revive these heart-cheering customs of his royal ancestors and predecessors, and by his example stimulate the nobi lity; the gentry, and opulent eitizens, to similar acts of liberality. In page 884 it is recorded—" That in the yeere 1236, and the twentieth of Henry the Third, on the 29th Dec. William de Haverhull, the king's treasurer, was com manded, that upon the day of circumcision of our LORD he should cause six thousand poore people to bee fed at N'Yestminster, for the state of the king, the queens, and their children. The weake and aged to bee placed in the great ball and in the lesser ; those who were more strong and in reasonable plight in the king's chamber ; and the children, in the queen's; and when tho king knew the charge hoe gladly allowed it in the accounts." Page 885—" In the yeere 1238, the same King Henry kept his feast of Christmas at Westminster, in the great hall; so did hee in the yeere 1241, where he placed the legate in the most honourable place of the table— to wit, in the middest—which the noblemen tooko in evM part. The king sate on the right hand, and the archbishop on the left, 'and then all the prelates and nobles, according to their estates, for the king himself didset the guests. In the yeere 1242 he likewise kept his Christmas in the hall, &c." Page 887—" And in thp years 1389 King Richard the Second kept a most royall Christmas there, with dayly justings, and, runnings at tilt, whereunto' Resorted such a number of people, that there was every day spent twenty-eigh t t a or e twenty-six oxen, and three hundred sheepe, • facie without number. He caused a gowue for him.: mite to be made of gold, garnished with pearls and precious stones, to the value of three thousand marker. fie. was garded by Cheshire men, and bad about him commonly tbirtets bishops, besides barons, knights, esquires, and' others more than needed: insomuch, that to the household came every day to meats ten thousand people as appeareth by the messes told out from the kitchen to three hundred servitors. Thus was this great bell, for the honour of the prince, often times furnished with gbests, not onely in this king's time (a prodigal prince,) but in the time of others also, both before and since, though not so usually noted. For when it is said the; king- held his feast of Christmas, or such a feast, at Westminster, it may well bee supposed to bee kept in thie'greethal, as most sufficient for such a purpose." Page'BBB—" King Henry the Seventh, in the ninth of his reign. (holding his royal feast of Christmas at West minster) on the twelfth day, feasted Ralph Autry, then Maier of London, and his brethren the Aklermen, and other commoners 'in great number ; and after dinner dubbed the maim knight, caused him, with his brethren, to stay and behold the disguieings and other disports in the night following showed in the great hell, which was richly banged with arras; and staged on both sides : which disports being ended, in thamorning the king, the queen, the ambaseadours and other estates, being set at a table of stone, sixty krlighta and esquires .served sixty dishes to the king's masse, and ea many to the queene's (neither flesh nor fieb,) and served the Ruder with twenty four dishes to his mom, of the same manner, witbaundry wineatin.reest pleetome wile.

The advantage of this scale cunsists in the degree being of very convenient magnitude for common purposes, neither too large nor too at all. The disad vantage which strikes us most forcibly in calculation consists in the Zero Out being placed arbitrarily with reference to our present knowledge. In this respect, the scales which place Zeto at the melting point of ice seem to possess a decided advantage. The boiling point of water in this scale is marked 212 degnamely. 52 deg. added to 110 deg. are equal to 2111 deg. 9. Itcsumua's Thaanosavea.—ln Reatinsur's Thermometer the melting point of ice is 0, and that of boiling water 80 degrees. The peculiarity of this scale *efts to have arisen from the prin ciple upon which it was constructed. He selvaged the liquid in the. bulb (weak !pinks of wise) equal to SADO parts of the temperature . of Creating water, and the increase of volume to be 80 parts when heated to the point at which water boils. Hence the latter tem perature was denoted by this number. 3. Tun CINTIORADB Dstrutom.—This seals has been proposed ofCelsius: a Swede Ickes been adopted in France by the saw the Centigrade Scale.

This smk is pani c:l3%dr convenient for nictitation, but has some disadvantage in the great sine of each degree, from which it is frequently necessary to employ fractional or decimal parts. The scales for converting the degrees of Fahrenheit's division into that of Wausau or the Centigrade Scale are ton long to find room here. : LONDON DOCK COMPANY. Friday last a half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors of Shares was held in the Company's House, Princes-street, Bank. J. Suite, Esq. In the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were confirmed. and a statement of the Company's finances was read. The dividend account showed that, after the dividends declared at the last half-yearly Meeting had been paid. • balance remained of £8,1134 4s. The dock re turnip, for the half-year ending D.c. 31, amounted to .1102,412; receipts for pri Milt/ leased £11,030 Ils ; interest of Exchequer Bolls £1,820. These, with other minor kems of income, made. with the balance brought down from the dividend account. a total of asset. of £131,396. The disbursements for the last half year lwere—in dock expenditure. £7,489 12s; salaries, £10,022 IS.; wages, £49,139; management and Directors' salaries, £4,405; ' which. with other sums expended, made • total of A 78,927 Ys sd. leaving a balance in favour of the Company of E 511.469 4.11 d. The Campmate then stated that the Directors bad agreed to re commend a dividend of XI 15s per cent. for the half-year ending the 31st of December. It would be observed that the earnings of the Company the last bait-year were £50,000. A shareholder asked the Chairman to account fur this diminu tion of the dividends. The C 11•1111,114111 sad that the decrease in the receipts was occa sioned by a deduction in the charges. and the general decrease of business in London. The charges on spirits, wool, basins. &c. bad been reduced. These reductions had been affected, as it was contrived, by this as well as other Companies they would tend to increase the business of the port of London. and of the London Dock in particular. The Cuarastait. in answer to a question, said that it was coo. sidered advantageous to the Company that the works in pm. peas foe forming a new entrance to the Docks, below the present entrance, ahould be completed, and that the outlay would be 141.0001. "•A Shareholder asked whether the Doek charges had not been reduced, beyond • proper limit. to answer the purposes of coma. petition. lirthought that a more friendly disposition ought to be manifested among the several Dock Companies, in order that their property might be proticted. without detriment to the public. "The'Ciraiassas intimated that the Landon Deck Company were peefectly willing to enter on a friendly communication with other Dock Companies.

ELLI• 011 presented a redden in this cause, pnyinj that Mr. Ilseklals Moir may be permitted to prove a mortgage debt against cattail' copyhold property in preference to other claimants, who held a mortgage against the same property. The copybold in question is held under the Lord of the Manor of Melksbans, and as it is the custom of the .toward of a manor to give as many to 'pies of the entry in the Court Roll as the parties may be pleased to pay for, it appeared that Phillips provided himself with two copies one of which he deposited with the petitioner in the year 1926. u a security for an advance of £l,lOO. while upon the se ated th e y he afterwards obtained an advance of olooty from ether partite. Under these circumstances the petitioner claimed a pre ference over the mortgage, which had been fraudulently taken by Phillips. on the faith of the second copy of the enrolment. Mr. Morratomein opposition to the petition, contended, that as the steward of the manor was also the attorney of the petitiour. there had been such a neglect of duty on his part, in not recording the fir.t mortgage. and in out giving notice of the existence of the •second copy of the enrolment, as would deprive the petitioner of the preference which be prayed; but on its appearing tbat the co pies were taken out a long time before the mortgage and that the steward was not privy to. or acquainted with, th e transactions preceded the second mortgage. The Vicernascauos ~id, that ss many Louts of Manors would not allow any entry on their books of transactions which did nut occur in open Court, there was nothing in the objection of a neglect of registry; and as it did not appear that the steward knew anything of the use made of the second copy by Phillips, he thought the prayer of the petition must be allowed. His HOMO'S disposed of about thirty Bankrupt Petitions in the calm of the day. Several were struck out of the paler. in COMO. queue of the absence of Counsel; and although various plausible reasons were afterwards assigned for that absence, his Honour per sisted b. refusing to give the causes a place in the paper. In doing so, be observed that be regretted extremely the necessity of astern ing the appearance of bar.bness in these casts : but he was satisfied that by rigidly adhering to a rule whi b all must know, and all abide by, he was advancing the interests of the suitor, expediting the business of the Court and conferring an advantage on those who might now feel themselves aggrieved by its exercise. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Jan. 9. AIIIMILT,••WOOLLIT v. COM The krmasar-Gammat (with whom was Mr. Kate) stated that this was an action to recover compensation in damage, for one of the most wanton and unprovoked melts that ever was brought before a Court of Justice. The defendant was • bnen-draper at Walthamotow, and a man of sums substance; and the plaintiff was a gentleman resit:Mg in London, who being food of angling bad rented a fishing station on the river Lea, in Walthamstow parish. Some time previous to the tath of May last, he had been ailing, and attended by a medical gractitioner ,• and on his recovery, though he was still weak, be went to Waltiumstow to enjoy his favourite amusement of angling. Go the 28th of. May, which was Holy Thursday, :the plaintiff was fishing in the dyer Lea, on the boundary of the parish of Walthamstow, when. he saw a great crowd of men and boys coming up to him and to another gentleman. a Mr. Teal. who wa. angling Deaf him. Some of the crowd sad to them that they must submit. to be bumped. as they were perambulating the bounds of the parish, and. it.wasthe mean to bump those whom they met with on these occasioss...— Both of them replied that they would • nut submit to be bumped; and that some of the mob, thee abusing them in very gross sod vulgar terms, prepared to use violence. Mr. Teal happened to have a penknife M his baud, with which he was narodiug his halm tockle, and running to the end of a plank which stretched out into the river, so that only one prism at a time could approach him without stepping into the water, be threatened to strike with _Ms knife any one that dared assault him, awl by this means he escaped. The plaintiff, however had not such good fortune, for the defendant collared his:, and with many abusive espreasions evelaimed, that it was the custom to bump, and that bump him they would. The plaintiff being weakly at the time r could make nu effectual resistance, when four fakeers laid hold of him. and carried him to a tree, •and stuck him against it on a certain part of his body, which very much injured another part. Besides the insult, this outrageous assault was eatretnely painful to the plaintiff, on amount of his bad state of health, and of surgical ups. ration which be had undergone a shun dote thfore. The des fondant encouraged the fellows who were humping the plaintiff by 'Wanting, "Go k—go it, my boys;' and when they lini,done with this they threw him down in the Mud of the river, and it 'was owing only to the blessing of Goo, and not to.the tender mercies of the defendant" and his snob. that he escaped with his life. lie applied to der parish •constable and to the Media, both of whom were pressor, fee the names of the persons who assaulted hint, bet he could - get no inforatatioo from them, although he • subsequently disiovered that of the defendant, who had collared him. The •plaintif. in cumeineme of the injury which he bad sestakied. was cooftoed so Ms bed Awa considerable pan of the Miming week. This was said to De, a custom, but if it was, the sooner it was put an end to the better s for it was one which ought not be tolerated in any drifted country. If persons dame to go out to enjoy the frolic. and con sented to be bumped, then let them he bumped, and as tent would be doom bet these wanton attacks on persons volui tridlited to be bumped were not to be endured. and be hoped the Jury would teach the worthy gentlemen of Wahhamstow that them atrocious outrages were not be committed with impuutty. The Attorney-Genera then called his witnesses, who proved the case esaetly as he bad stated it. . - Mr. Bammitace, fur the defendant, observed that dot statement, in behalf of the plaintiff was extremely et.ggerated. The Learned Gentleman called some of the persons who bad bees present ow the 'day in question. who stated that they did not see the defeatism touch the pidstit. - • : ••• Lund Tastmasini-At was nut material, in this case. whether. the defendant' actually had laid hold of the plaintif or nut, fur I of be was present, and encouraged others, be Was - responsible, !stsr the consequence, ; sad the witnesses for the pktiatit proved 'that he did so, .by escialmings "Go it, go ge it had born said for the defend ant that tills bumping was a common practice; if sor ft was high tinia•that it amold be put as end to.
