Mr. Marshall, of Glasgow, sub mitted the following motion to the Assembly: " That the General Assembly having considered 46e overtures relative to the union of the office of a parochial Minister with that of Principal or Professor in any orthe Univenities of Scotland, and being deeply convinced that such unions are injurious to the inter ests of religion, education, and learning, and contrary to the spirit of our ecclesiastical constitution, resolve, that a Committee be ap pointed to prepare an overture to be transmitted to the Presbyteries of this Church, for preventing such unions of those offices in future in all cases not already provided for by the Act of Assembly 1817, and to report to this Assembly : And further, in respect that some ache theological Professorships are not at present sufficiently pro vided foe, the General Assembly resolve to appoint a Committee to take all suck cases into consideration, with instructions to make all necessary inquiries, and to adopt all measures that may be deemed expedient, with the view of obtaining some means or security for the adequate endowment of these offices, and to report to the next Assembly." Dr. COME moved the following amendment: " The General Assembly having considered the overtures on the table, And that it is not expedient, under existing circumstances, to' transmit to Presbyteries an overture for abolishing the union of offices in the Universities with pa:missal charges, where the law of residence is nut violated; but appoint n Committee to inquire and ascertain whether adequate endowments for theological Professor ships could be obtained, and what effect the universal abolition of pluralities would produce on the connection between the Caurch and the Universities of Scotland." _ _ After twelve hours' debase, k was agreed that the vote should be fit st tir second motion, and on the wanes being cilled, there voted : 159 105 ..-54 A Clergyman has been elected Mayer. and conse quently returning officer, of Devises. TIMATIRICAL report is very preva lest in the Oren-roots of Drury-lane Theatre, that Mr. Puce, the American Manager, will take the lead in the direction of that thea atre. It is also said that C. Kuntz retires from his situation at Covent.garden at the end of the present season, and that Mr. Baser 'Hams will again take the command of the corps drama silos of that theatre. Kean has received an offer of engagement from both of the above establishments, but it is not yet known to which of them he will accede. Waage, the eminent composer, has sn much increased his constitutional complaints by visiting our chm tie, that he is recommended to return to his native country as speedily as possible. He is attended daily by an eminent German physician, at his apartments at Sir G. Sauer's, from whom he re ceives every attention in his present feeble situation. He will leave England the moment he is sufficiently convalescent. Accounts from Manchester are still favourable. Bra zil cotton has advanced id. per pound in the course of the week, and every other description full id. 15,463 bags have been sold in the week, consumers having been willing buyers during the whole of the week. The market closed with a very steady appearance. Last week, at a public-house in Salford, a female servant of the house had died, and an undert iker was sent fur to measure her for a coffin. He was directed upstairs to the room where the corpse lay, and accom pan;ed by an assistant, he proceeded there, and was taking out his rule for the purpose of measuring her length, when, to their astonishment, the supposed c.rpse rose up in bel and demanded their business. The coffin-msker and his man scampered d6wn stairs, and told the•company that the girl was come to life again. They were of course laughed at; and on an explanation ensuing, it appeared that they had mistaken their way, and had gone into the bed-room of the landlady, where she laj fast asleep until disturbed by` their intrusion. Saturday, as one of the Oxford coaches was coming towards London, at Turnham-green, folloated at a shor t distance by one of the Brenffor d stages, the persons on the Brent ford stage heard the coachman on the Oxford coach call out, and upon looking forward, safe some thing on the road, but from the distance they were off the utile,' coach, coold not dirtictly make out what it was; on the Oxford coach stopping, and the Bientford stage coming op with it, it was discovered that it was a fine child, apparently between three and four years old. under the wheels of the Oxford coach ; the fore-wheel had passed over its abdomen and one of its arms, and the hind-wheel was partly upon its body, the coachman being in pre. act Of backing the coach off the child's body when the Brentford stage arrived on the spot. — The child was taken up dreadfully crushed, and appa rently lifeless, and conveyed to the house of its parents. At the last April Sessions at Ballyconnel, for the di- Vision of Cavan, three civil bills were brought at the suit of,Thomas Fitzpatrick, Esq. of Killesandra, against some of his tenants for arrears of rent, when it was tined by the Lear nedettantatatt. that as M•. Fitzpatrick (a respectable Gentleman of considerable property) had improperly given himself the title of &quire," to which io point of law he was not entitled, he would dismiss each of the cases. with costs.

Friday and Saturday last, an important inquiry was had at the Court•hall at Rochester, before the Com mittee of the Company of Proprietors of the Thames and Med a•af Canal, by a respectable Jiffy of the county of Kent. summoned by the Sheriff, to ascertain the compensation to be paid by the Canal Company to Mr. Gunning, Mr. De La Cour, and Mr. Hasted, for ex pences incurred by them and damage done to their estates at Frindsbury and Snood, by reason of the works of the canal having abstracted the water from Mr. Gunning's pond, and having introduced salt. water into the wells of Mr. Dela Cour and Mr. Hasted, and rendered the waters thereof brackish. The inquiry excited great interest, and it continued on the first day from ten in the morning until seven in she evening.— Th.e.cascs of Mr. Gunning and Mr. De La Cour having been then 'disposed of, the Court adjourned until the following morning, to consider the case of Mr. Hasted. —The claims of the several parties amounted to 1,5261. 17s. 6d. but. were reduced by the verdicts of the Jury to 9781.

It has undergone some altetation since last term; the King's Counsel's seat, and that of the solicitors, having been extended; and a box h tying been erected for the ac commodation of law students. r IN THE MATTER OF SIR G. P. TURNER. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he had receive:l a letter from Dr. Borrows, static g that what had passed in court on a former o:casion, when his affidavit was, mentioned, was not a very accurate repre,entation of f what he intended to .t+•e to the Court, as he did not mean to represent Sir Gregory to be either of sound or unsound mind, not having ha I sufficient oppor tunities to enable him to form an opinion on so impor tant it subject. Mr. TRIISLOVE here read the affidavit of Dr. Bur rows; it stated that he could not at pre,eot discover any delusion or imbecility in the, mind of Sir G. P. Tur ner. The Learned Counsel then observed, th4t the only additional reason he could urge to induce his Lordship to permit the traverse to be tried, was, that it was the anaions wisb of Sir Gregory that it be tried, particularly as all his witnesses, he,said, had not been examin'd on the inqui.iti:nt, and therefore he c)uld not submit to such an imposition. _ _ . The Loan CHANCELLOR direc:ed Mr. Treslove to hand him up the names of the witnesses who had not been examined on the inquisitioo. His Lordship added, that if any good reason could be suggested to him to shew why the traverse should be tried in preference to there being a petition presented to the Court, praying it to supersede the commission, he would pay all possible attention to it. But to allow such trial, without seeing any reason for so doing, or any hope of a verdict against the inquisition, would be throwing away the property of Sir Gregory, or suffering persons to take advantage of him in a case in which no advantage could be con ferred upon him. Mr. lizAto thought it impossible that the mere wish of Sir Gregory could be supposed by anybody to come within the meaning of the Act of Paliament, which said that special circumstances should be required to authorize the trial of the traverse. The Loss Cstaucat.Loa said the ease might be mentioned again on Thursday morning. WARD OF COURT. - YOUNO V. SMITH. Mr. PURVIS presented a petition from the guardians of a young Lady, who Was a ward of this Court, praying for a reference to the Master, for the purpose of settling her fortune, she having married 'a young Gentleman of the name of Stephens, with whom she had eloped. Mr. Myers, of the common law bar, and his sister, had been appointed guardians of this young Lady, who upon re turning from school at the Christmas vacation had been permitted to go and sue her maternal grandfather. At his house she becime acquaint:A with Mr. Stephens, who took On opportunity of carrying her away, and was finally married to her. Under these circumstances, her guardians thought that the best thing they could do was to ask of the Court a reference to the Master, in order that he might settle the young Lady's fortune in the most eligible manner . . The Loae Cuascaxxna inquired the age of the young Lady ? Mr. PURVIS said he believed she was about sixteen. His Learesuir then asked what was the young Gentleman's age? Mr. Puuvis replied, that he did not know. . Mr. 13rcitaluirrru appeared for the next of kin of the infant, and observed, that it was his duty to submit to'the Court that this proceeding should not be per m4ted to pass over this way as a matter of course. The Loan CHANCILLOR asked where the parties had been married? MT. BICEERSTETH Said they had been married a: Gretna-green ; and it was therefore doubtful as to whe ther the martiage was legal or not. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that in that case, the first reference to the Master must be to inquire whether or not there had been a Marriage ; and then, supposing the report upon that fact to be in the affirmative, he (the Lord Chancellor) should be glad to have the pleasure of seeing the young Gentleman him-elf. Mr. Puavis said be would take that order in the first instance. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEVIIIINIBUR, 111 Ar The Court was occupied till half•past two o'clock in hearing ar guments on special cases, entirely destitute of public interest. The COMMON SERJEANT obtained A writ of manda mus, commanding the bailiffs of the borough of &1 t Retford to summon a Common Council for the purpose of electing Aldermen, one of whom would be entitled to be circled to serve the office of Mayor of that borough sot the ensuing year. SILLICK V. SMITH. In this case, where the question was whether an action under any circumstances could be maintained against the West India Dock Company, of which the defendant was the treasurer, after the expiration of three months, under the statute of 39 Gto ge 111. c. 69, the Court ruled that it could not. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 30. /Mint V. 31OCKDALE. The derendant in this case now appeared, to move for - a role to strew cause, in ti-e first place, why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered; and in the second, why a new trial.should not be granted. It was an action against him to recover co mpen s arinn in damage,, on account of the injury arising to the plaintiff in consequence of a libel which appeared in a certain work, called " Memoirs of Har riette Wilson." A verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages 7001. He did not intend to make any apology, for this application, as he considered he had a r ight to 'take this proceeding, First, as to the nonsuit, the de elevation stated that he ha] a wife and eight children, whereas there were but three still living. Now the mar riage, be presumed, ought to be proved as exactly as the nature of the fact would admit, as in the case of bigamy. Again, the person named in the work was Charier F. ederick Fisher, and the name of the plaint.ffl I was Hugh Evans Fisher; and it was proved that no other attorney of that name lived at Lyme Regis, by a person who had only bet n there occasionally. He was also mentioned as a Devonshire attorney, and Lyme Regis was in Dorsetshire. This was what he would urge on the first paint. Then, as to the second : The charge of the Learned Judge who tried the cause was calcu lated to inflame the prejudices of the Jury ; and as a proof of it, the excessive damages of u hich be com rlained were given. The Learned Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, too, who bad conducted the plaintiff's case, commented with very great virulence on the case, and had referred to the case in which he was concerned with Poplett. He had been designated in the charge of the Learned Judge as the pander of a prostitute. Unless such expressiObs had been used towards his conduct, he was quke convinced no such verdict would have been found against him. As to the instructions which it had been supposed were derived from him, he disavowed 'them ; and he should consider himself ill compensated by 20,0001. for the injury he had received in public opi nion, by its being supposed •he had authorized such a defence. As to the dam rges to which the plaintiff -was entitled in this case, the smallest damages would be quite sufficient. Nn proof had been produced—no legal proof that he had been mArtied. Mr. Justice PA RIC —Lor d Mrnsfiehi has said, that in no civil case, except in vim con. is root of mini:age necessary. C•'habitation and reputation me quite.suffi cient in any other case. That: seers ti) civil cases; but bigamy, to which you have directed our attention, is a ciiiiiinal charge. _ _ The LORD Cnier,Juvracc—flave you any affidavit of surpriie? -- - - • - -- - - - - Mr. SrockdAc—No, my Lord, I gave [Hi. Ti'e Louu CHISF tell you that you can't move fora nonsoit, unless Oleic w:,. 1 point saved for you. Now thtre was no point saved tor you at this trial. Mr. Justice PARK —As to the Allegation of the eight children, that is quite unimportant. It was proved that he had three children. Mr. Stockdide—Then, my LorJ, he "Ys he *as very much injured in hic good chAractei ; lout their wAs no evidence of his good charade-. The Loan Cum. JUSTDCII...-1 IC mull be taken as having a good ghat:lc-ter, unless proof be given to the contrary._ _ _ Mr. S ockJale—The.i the chit ge said, thst he would be preventrd from being engaged by the ( - Amities in the neighbourhood, whereas be has left the neighbour hood, and had left it the year before the publication of the libel. The LORD Ciii!? Jusrice—l referred rather to his general practice as an Attorney. But by the evidence, at the time of the trial, I was bound to conclude he was still practising at Lyme Regis. Mr. Stockdale—Then, as to the mentioning of names in the work, I told the woman who brought me this work for sale, that she had better send some confidential friend to the parties, rather than publish. She told me, that if she had a confidential friend in the world to whom she could apply, she would not have applied to me. Mr. Justice GASELEK—Wh st you have now stated would have gone much more to increase the damages, than any thing the Learned Judge could have said in his charge. _ _ _ The LORD CHM' JURTICR —The hundreds would then have been thousand,. Mr. Stockda'e—Nlsny observations were made by the Coutt, that this work was of an immoral tendency. Now, 1 think, whether tight or wrong, Gun in heaven knows, that it is of a very moral tendency, for no hook that ever I saw is more calculated to cl►eck vice and immorality. Now, in a letter I WAS reading yesterday evening to Dr. llaa ker, on Methodism, there is a vei 5 warm attack nucleon a whole body of persons, and that by a very moral and religious man, whereas this woi k only Wets to particular persons.—After some further remarks, Mr. Stockdale read the following lines : " Distemper'd men there are, estraned front home, Cold to an angel's kind embrace, Cheerless, amid a blooming race, And dead to comforts, in a princely dome:— Men, in the lap of fortune mers'd, With 311 her froward humours curs'd, And teas'd by wishes, ever on the wing; Who, wandering still through folly's maze, In search of bliss, consume their days, Nor taste her genuine draught, at N'ature's spring. Yet such the men who lead the gay, The pride and patterns of the day, Whose high prii'd friendship fools and strangers boast : Blush thou to court their barren fame; Let home, sweet home, thy presence claim, And those enjoy thy smiles who love thee most r And concluded by observing, that he never until then felt his nerves shaken, when he std before them as a fa:her. with the expectation of a wife bringing to him soon a 22,1 child. Had he not been conscious of the injustice of the verdict, he might have been deprived of his senses. Had the work been of that immoral and blasphemous nature as had been represented, he might have been indicted for it. He had now done; but should he tail in his application, he would apply to the L?gislature, and even to the Throne itself. The LORD CRUM JugTsca--I think the grounds of this applica tion are as abstud as the publication is infamous. Mr. JUSTICE PAKK—I think that in this case there has been no ground stated to induce the Court to inter. pose. As to the ground on which the motion for entering a nonsuit has beets made, we have all eady expressed our opinion. With regard to granting a new trial, it is the peculiar province of the Jury to state the amount of the damages which the plaintiff ought to receive. The Court, it is true, have sometimes interfered on the ground of excessive damages, but only on very peculiar occasions. I cannot say that if I had been on the Jury I should have given such a sum, but I cannot say I should not. The Jury are the legitimate and consti tuttd judges of the amount of damages, and I can see no reason why we should in this case interfere. Mr Justice BURROUGH—If there was any one circum stance in this case which would justify our setting aside this verdict, I am sure we should be most happy to give the defendant the benefit of it. That this is an infamous libel no one can doubt. Of the amount of damages the Jury are the proper judges. The Court never inter feres, except when some very peculiar reason arises.-- Even in a case of seduction, under very peculiar cir cumstances, where the Jury had found damages to the amount of 5,0001. the Court refused a new trial, because the determination of the amount of damages was the peculiar duty of the Jury ; and unless we sought to destroy the whole jurisdiction of the Jury, I do not see hoW we can disturb the •erdict in this case. I don't myself think these was Is. too much given by the Jury. Mr. Justice PACK said, that his Brother Gaxelee bad been obliged a leave the Court, fur the purpose of going ta.Cliatnbers ; but he had requested him to state, that his opinion was, that no reason existed tor disturbing the verdict.—Bule rattan'. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• GUILDHALL. Was. Hart, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 524, was brought before Sir CHA MA/ Flows's, Bart. on suspicion of being concerned in breaking into the premises of Mr. Clark, a wholesale dealer in boots and shots, in Ifosier.lane, Smithfield, and carrying of up wards of 200 pairs of shoes and 32 pairs of boots, WM!s a quantity of apparel.—Sunday morning, about four o'clock, Mr. Clark's premises were broken into, and the property abovementiooed was carried off. The prisoner was seen driving his coach near the end of Hosier-Line about the time of the robbery, and be was observed 'to stand for some time. Two watchmen shortly afterwards saw a basket put into the coach, and believing it to be a " subject" for anatomical purposes, they followed, and observed two meu beckon to the prisoner to drive on. He drove at a gallop, and the watchmen, who had taken the number of the coach, gave up the pursuit. The prisoner denied that he knew anything of the rubbery. He admitted having driven a Gentleman and three packages of goods from Useapside to Paddington. Sir Cumstas Fumes was of opinion he was concerned in the robbery, and remanded him BOW-STREET. CAMS STIALINCI—John Mosses, alias Jack the Dreyer, a young MD weU known in Smithfield Market, was brought before Sit lIIJCIIARJII &anis, on three several charges, viz. stealing two cows two bones, find a crony. Tim latter shalh any was pat Into rp this occasion. Thomas Durrand, a bell hanger in Fenchurcii-street, Spitalfte:d. stated, that he was in the employment of a Lady at Heston. o Tuesday last he went with a friend to Hounslow Fair, and returini towards Heston between two and three in the Morning ; be w., informed by a watchman, that a pony, belonging to- a Gentienut named Gilbert, had been taken a few minutes before int of a field adjoining his house, The witness beard the noise of a horse's feet, and he instantly ran along the road, and at about a quarter of a mile distant from the church, he CAM* up with three men dressed in sound frocks, who had a pony In their possession. The witae,i asked them from whence they bad brought the pony? and one of them—the talkst, who was like the prisoner, mid they had brought it from Hounslow. The witness said he did rot believe it, and the three men menac'ed him with their sticks. One of them 'aid t,, another, " Take of the bridle, Jack." The pony was then num.! loose, and it gallopped back to the held or the prosecutor, and the three men escaped. Sir IL Rims said that the prosecutor, Mr. Gilbert, mid th watchman, must be brought forward, The Constable who apprehended the prisoner sad, that he shoo': have evidence on two ether capital charges against the prisoner d a few days Sir R..BIRNIR ordered him co he remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. An Irish footman, in the service of Lady A'Coork, now stopping at the Brunswick Hotel, was yesterday brought to this office, charged with disorderly conduct at l'rinee Polignac's, on Mouti..y night. It appeared by the evidence of Scofield, the officer ohs was on duty there, that he was endeavouring to bring up Prince Leopold's carriage out of the line, corning up to the door, and i f obtain precedence to those before it, among which was Lei A'Court's carriage. On observing this, her (outman jumped tiff sae carriage, and, in a violent rage, attempted to obstruct the officers at bringing up the Prince's carriage; he knocked the beads of the horses with his fist in the most savage manner, and so resisted the officers, as to compel them to take him to the watchhouse. In answer to this charge the footman replied, that he was emir doing his duty in trying to bring op her Ladyship before the othtt carriage which had broken the line, and was consequently acting irregularly ; he was very much ill us ed in being taken to the water house, which he said at the time, was as indignity that an Amba,. sailor's servant ought not to be submitted to. • CONA NT observed, that he had acted very wrong in obstruct , ing the officers, who were placed there to preserve order, and to see that all members of the Royal Family had the precedence they were entitled to; and unless he chose to' confess himself in the wrong, that he must find bail. After some reluctance he apologised, and offered to make any compensation to the officers, which to their credit they tetured.— He then paid a shilling and was discharged. A Gentleman, a Member of the House of Commons, and the brother of a Peery came to the (Ake in a very agitatrd and agonized state of mind, to ask for advice upon the fo:lowing painful circum stance. lle stated that on that morning, when the family had assembled at the breakfast table, his eldest daughter, a beautiful child, only 12 years of age, was missing. Search was instantly made in all the rooms of the house, and over all the premises, but no trace of her Could be discovered, and all that was known was, that she was seen up in the house at a very early hour that morn ing. Plank, the chief officer, was immediately dispathed to inves tigate the cause of the child's sudden absence ; and while he was in tertogating the servants, governess, &c. at the Gentleman's house, a poor man arrived, who stated that he had been that morning, at an early hour, crossing Paddington-fields, not far from the canai, when he saw a young girl, about twelve years of age, evidently the child of a Gentleman, sitting by the side of a ditch, sobbing and weeping in the most piteous manner, and the rain pouring on her in torrents, and she already wet to the skin, having no covering on but a light muslin dress. He immediately went Nis to her, and ques tioned her as so the cause of her being in that forlorn situation, and so far from any house ; but she refused to give hint any answer, or to tell who she was or where she lived. He determined, however, that she should not remain there longer, and be .con 'eyed her home, covering her with his coat, to his own lodg ings, in Barrett's-court, Mary-la-bonne, where his wife took off her wet clothes, and after rubbing her person quite dry, put on her come coarse but clean clothing of her own, and made her eat some breakfast. After a little time the child became more composed ; and by soothing her anguish, they prevailed on her at length, with great difficulty, to tell them her name and where her father lived; and the moment she did so, the poor man set off to the father's house to ascertain the fact. and just arrived when the family were in the height of their distress at her absence. The child's father and l'iank immediately set out with the poor man in a coach, and they found the child at the poor man's house, as described. She was immediately conveyed back, in the coach, to her father's house in blay-fair, where she was questioned as to the cause of her doing an act that gave so much pain to her family, who doat upon her. For some time she was very reluctant to tell the cause of her ab sence, but at length confessed that it .vas owing to the harsh and violent conduct of the Governess towards her that she determined to run away, not caring what became of her, so she escaped fron such treatment as she was in the ha bit of experiencing front the female in question. The child's father, of course, expressed his highest indignation at such conduct towards his child, whose life might have been lost in consequence ; and he was determined that the Governess should not have another opportunity of causing a similar risk. MARY-LA-BONNE. John Stokes alias Cottle, was brought up before Mr. Gwynn, for re-examination, on the charge of setting fire to his lodgings in dse house of Mr. William James t of Wilderness-row, Chelsea, and also with stealing several articles of furniture therefrom. David Thrale, of W, Bridge-road, Lambeth, pawnbroker, pro duced some blankets and curtains pawned on the 14th of November, by the prisoner, in the name of John Browne, and which were identified by Mr. James as his property, who stated that the pri soner left his house the same day that the property was pawned. Mrs. Mary Trout, of 13, James-street, New -cut, came forward and stated, that in consequence of seeing the former elimination of the prisoner, in a police report in the newspapers, she attoodod is know whether the prisoner was the same person who called et her house some time in October last, and took a furnished parlour; she was now satisfied that the prisoner was the same person who lodged in her house. His wife, and a boy named Frederick, were with him. They remained there only six days, when they went away without giving notice; but they locked the room door, and took the key with them. She forced open the door, and found that the feather bed and bed clothes were gone. She never recovered any of her property since, neither did she find out the prisoner till that day. The prisoner denied having seen Mr. James or Mrs. Trout be fore, or knowing anything about them. Mr. Fagan, trona the Mendicity Association, attended. He said that the prisoner was strongly recommended to the Mendicity Board by the Earl of Chichester, The prisoner lived in Drury lane' and received bye shillings a week from the Board f himself and his wife and child. He had been visited by the orders of the Board, and always appeared as if in a consumption. The relief was discontinued about a month since, the prisoner being ordered to Ireland for the benefit of his health. Besides the relief, the frequently got food and clothing. Several letters were here banded to the Magistrate, but not read. Mr. Guerin' said the letters might be produced on the trial, as they could not be of any service to the prisoner in that stage of the proceedings. He should commit the prisoner for trial on the charges already proved. On the Bth ult. a flue broke out in Odessa, and con sumed the house of the widow GrAchoff, as also a house next to it ; a few hundred chetvents of wheat were also destroyed; but, owing to the prompt exertions of the 37th battalion of Chasseuts, a stop was put to the pro gress of the fire. Last year, there were exported from Great &iris, goads, according to the official estimates, of the value of 56,335,5141. 11.. 2d. of which, 29,496,5761. was in cotton goods ; 5,925,5741. in woollens ; and 2,709,766/. in linens.
